Dat Mad KOF Nightwing adaptation was impressive

 

[Revven]

I got my money on PP taking it unless Mango gets out of his slump.

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

Predictions?

I think mew2king or PP take it.

I want Wobbles or shroomed (docto mario!!) though. Doubt it'll happen, especially if wobbles goes against king, his spacing is just too good.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Im aware. I wasnt arguing game mechanics. I was stating a personal opinion.

I get what you're saying. Frustrating that nobody else does lol

 

[Dahbomb]

Just woke up.

Killer Kai the only real upset so far or have I missed more?

Yea that's the only match streamed that I would qualify the closest as being an upset. Although it wasn't to some no name player (it was Jeo from Japan) and he wasn't randomed out, straight up out played 3-0 with KK making bad mistakes himself.

Also looks like they are switching streams, KOF is on the main stream now. Melee is finished, they have their top 8.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Do random flying grayson

you know you want to

 

[Ultimadrago]

Its curtains time.

Ha! I've never seen that before.

SO PUMPED!!

For someone who doesn't follow Melee, can you tell me a little about the notable players?


Is there someone who is favored to win heavily? Are there any unexpected new comers that qualified for Top 8? Anyone using a underused/underpowered character?

Any past rivalries between these players?

Thanks.

 

[Karsticles]

Just woke up.

Killer Kai the only real upset so far or have I missed more?

I don't consider that an upset. Jeo is a very good player.

 

[Kallor]

Want to see Shroomed win this with DrMario. Going to be crazy tomorrow lol.

 

[K.Sabot]

People are just throwing shit out there about Chris G.

 

[EloquentM]

Damn really excited for finals tomorrow.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

MadKOF knows how to pick em.

If you block a footdive you can mash d1 and say fuck you to Black Adam

 

[TheOGB]

I think I'm in love with this Sagat cosplayer....

That Dudley is awesome (I think this pic was from last years Evo)

Who, Victoria Justice?
That Dudley looks like someone I know

 

[ismk]

People are just throwing shit out there about Chris G.

ChrisG has lots of haters.

 

[dmr87]

Time for Murderface marvel

 

[T.O.P]

Tokido about to play mavhel

 

[Kellen]

murderface

 

[Gr1mLock]

I get what you're saying. Frustrating that nobody else does lol

Its the internet. It happens.

 

[Horseress]

Rod Breslau @Slasher
ChrisG #EVO2013 Watch Update: ChrisG Currently being escorted to the Marvel area by @sherryjenix to play.

Smedge intimidation game too stronk

 

[Tizoc]

Floe was doing great in that last SFxT match.

 

[RC]

Finally some Mahvel worth watching.

 

[Revven]

Characters for Melee finals: Sheik, Falco, Jigglypuff, Ice Climbers, Fox/Falco, Peach, Sheik, Dr. Mario

And if M2K loses a match against a spacie, you can be sure he's switching to Marth and CP'ing to FD.

But really impressed!

Now time for some Mahvel, super fitting to have Mahvel right after Melee.

 

[enzo_gt]

Tokido playing Team Nemo.. against his old team

my mind

 

[Rentahamster]

Smed 0-1 so far. He almosr took out morrigan first tho.

 

[Kellen]

Tokido rolling with Nemo's team huh

 

[Parallax Scroll]

shit did i miss smedwicks

edit: oh he's 0-1 ok

 

[black_vegeta]

Anyone want some AE games that's currently at the Paris?

 

[Kadey]

Smed 0-1 so far. He almosr took out morrigan first tho.

Why isn't this streamed? WTH.

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

So this is what they were more or less playing, as far as I remember, though a couple of them have other "mains" for sure. mew2king has a great marth under his belt, for example, Mango has a Jiggly (if I remember) and someone has a Young link to counterpick hungrybox. Or not. I'm frazzled haha.

[call_kotaku]

Smed 0-1 so far. He almosr took out morrigan first tho.

Don't worry, it's 3/5 so he has time to adapt

 

[MrDaravon]

Why isn't this streamed? WTH.

If it's true that Chris G was actually just dragged over there, they probably weren't going to wait to start the stream just for him and put people who were already ready on.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Are the Melee archives up yet?

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Can't help but laugh about the wall for KOF

 

[dmr87]

Happy birthday

 

[El Sloth]

Wow, nice hit confirm by Tokido.

 

[slightconfuse]

smed just sandbagging

 

[LiK]

Poogko and his table returns

 

[Sgblues]

Ha! I've never seen that before.

Even more curtains

 

[Rentahamster]

Smed 0-2. Almost took out morrigan firt again but cap super was off or somethingg


Chrisg doing mag infinite on smed's cap

 

[TheThunder]

SF4 and Marvel pools were kinda the same. Few exceptional matches, a lot of solid stuff, generally not a lot of craziness.

Of course the heat gets turned up later.

Pools ain't over yet but AE had way more good matches yesterday than what I've seen so far. From the top of my head: Itabashi/Wolfkrone - Arturo/Choi - Tokido/that good Guile player (forgot his name)

I expected that though since the tournament was way more stacked with internationals and all.

 

[Frantic]

smed just sandbagging

sandbagging until grand finals where he'll 6-0 ChrisG.

 

[xCobalt]

Anyone else dislike Rynge's commentary? It's really dry.

[RockTurtle]
