Cool UMVC3 won.

Next year should be entirely Community driven(never will happen i know NRS games,Tekken, etc)

 

[Zyrox]

Congrats to the Marvel Fans. Also really proud of the Pokken community that they raised so much money to keep up with Marvel.

Guess I can sleep longer on Sunday then. At least that's something.

 

[Anth0ny]

yo mahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhvel

 

[Seyavesh]

mod who changed title confirmed authoritarian and not for that democracy

 

[GeoNeo]

BIG LOVE TO MARVEL HEADS. 😭

Also, mad respect to Pokken Community go for supporting their game too I hope Evo add it to lineup too. Have a heart...

 

[Cybit]

An 8k snipe would have been too much for me, lol.

I could have gone in for 1k or so

Hilarity would be that the Pokken folks have a bunch of matching contributions that come in like in a day or two from companies.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Mahvel baby its been a good day

 

[Blueblur1]

Now I gotta wake up early on Sunday. Can't stay up too late at Bar Fights (assuming they do it on Saturday night again).

 

[SalvaPot]

I saved my money for ARMS next year.

Pokken fans:

Wait

Wouldn't Pikachu have evolved if s/he touched the thunder stone here?

You know what, MrWiz says he bases his decisions by which communities are still big and on general interest. So I wouldn't have anything against this tbh. Let the communities decide.

Marvel 3 more boring than Brawl

At least Pokken would have had better memes

 

[SalvaPot]

The Pokémon has to absorb the energy of the stone to evolve, they can refuse an evolution if they feel like it and have the willpower to do so (Like the episode where Bulbasaur went to a evolution frenzy and resisted turning into an Ivysaur).

 

[Shouta]

No, if Pikachu declines it, then it won't work, I think. =o

 

[Bamboo 竹]

Some of the Marvel community are acting like little kids with the "get fucked Pokken" attitude, it's like they are more happy with seeing the other lose than seeing themselves win.

i recall pokken top 8 going like 4 hours last year

This is without a doubt, the worst post on gaf.

I'm only seeing it on r/kappa. That's not the Marvel community.

 

[Hazzuh]

Yipes going through and thanking each donor individually.

 

[Producer]

best game

I wanted a good game to win. I'm glad pokken lost.

I think Marvel is boring too.

Spoiler

But so is Pokken.

 

[Shouta]

You mean there and here too going by several posts in this thread.

This has made it all worthwhile haha

It always happen, its a heath of the moment kind of thing so I don't take it to heart. Pokken was really really close to the point they felt despair for a moment there. Most comments are civil now that the moment has passed, I think.

 

[Doomshine]

lol no, it's everywhere, GAF included.

No the hell it ain't. And more boring than fucking BRAWL?

 

[Kadey]

The mudslinging has been on all sides. None of it from people who actually matters.
That being said. Mind as well make a trophy that says Congrats Marvel 2017 Champion RyanLV.

 

[mbpm1]

wong factor!!!

 

[SalvaPot]

So, honest question, how can the chargebacks affect the outcome of this vote?

If there is enough chargebacks to put Marvel under Pokken, what would happen then? Is there a precedent to this?

Chances are nothing will happen, but just curious.

 

[KHlover]

Marvel is ResidentSleeper, but Pokken made me literally close the stream so it's okay I guess. Actually ARMS should have won and they should have enforced motion controls tho.

 

[Seyavesh]

the ceasefire is over and the shooting war begins now

 

[NEO0MJ]

Pokken fans:

I mean, they spent $66K only to get repayed with $10K support and no EVO presence so yeah they'd be cross

 

[Dahbomb]

YOU CAN'T KEEP A GOOD GAME DOWN!!!

Not gonna lie, knees were weak, arms were heavy, butts were clenched in that last 10 minutes. Pokken COULD HAVE EASILY taken it with a couple of snipes, it was razor edge close.

Props to Pokken for a good fight, hope they get a shot next year.

 

[Effect]

I assume Pokken wins then. That's why they said "unofficial" winner. It's not over until the money is fully collected. Those big donations on both sides need to be looked at.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Justin's a smart dude. I could see him coming up with a counter by July.

 

[Auxiliary Bro]

GGs! Great stuff from both Marvel and Pokémon fans who donated, I honestly can't believe it was this close and it's really great to see this generousity in the FGC. I know there's a lot of "fuck [x]" attitudes, but the streams dedicated to justifying why their game should be the Evo pick, and donations from big names, have always come with an attitude of enthusiasm from their own games and little hostility to the other side.

I would've been happy to see either game. I've wanted Marvel just a little bit more admittedly, but I love seeing the Pokken community this passionate for the game. I hope they have a fantastic showing at CEO and other tournaments in the future.

well it was for charity lol

 

[jeemer]

i'm a big marvel fan, and i'm genuinely glad it made it. i hadn't expected the race to be so close though. i tuned into yipes' stream an hour ago and it ended up being an emotional rollercoaster!

his enthusiasm for marvel is unmatched. love that he's actually reading out all the donator names.

 

[Kadey]

Only person who remotely gave RyanLV trouble recently is Terry Bogard. He has made everybody else look free.

 

[atomic moth]

Nidhogg beating XL is the real story

 

[fhqwhgads]

Congratulations to Vergil vs Doom 3 Fate of Two Zeros

 

[Smooth Operator]

Marvel winning was the only good ending anyway. Marvel is EVO, EVO is Marvel.

I wish the best to all the Pokken players tho'.

 

[J@hranimo]

Congrats MarvelGAF. Here's to the Top 8 being hype!

Pokkén will live on...

Pokken fans:

Why doesn't this have Yipes' face on Pikachu smacking away a credit card yet?
