Hope KoF doesn't start an hour late again.

 

[slightconfuse]

Hoping KOF is hype like last year

 

[Omnicent]

Hope KoF doesn't start an hour late again.

it won't start and hour late... it's going to finish an hour late.

So... just a fun question: who does everyone want to win Smash?

Quick Top 8 recap with characters the players use:

Winners bracket

Wobbles (Ice Climbers) [side note: Wobbles is one of Smash's commentators]
CT|Hungrybox (Jigglypuff)
VGBC|Dr.PeePee (Falco)
EMP|Mew2King (Sheik, Marth)

Losers bracket

Shroomed (Dr. Mario)
Mango (Fox, Falco)
Ice (Sheik)
Armada (Peach)

I really want Dr. PeePee to win but if I went by character, I'd really want Wobbles to win. Ice Climbers being free and taking it all would be absolutely amazing.

I want a non Falco/Fox player to win.

 

[Rorschach]

Will KoF today be as exciting as last year's final even when Bala is absent?

No Bala, no sale! I hope Romance takes it, but I doubt he can. :[

 

[FYC]

Here we go! GET LOUD

 

[Shouta]

Xian just woke up

This is not surprising. He slept using my backpack as a pillow for 30 minutes yesterday, lol. I even got a picture

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Hellpockets for commentary pls

 

[Dahbomb]

Karst: Out of those suggestions only a few would ever make it to the discussion table. Throw tech spacing, damage reduction and better assists for all. The rest are too big.. there is no way they will radically change XF and TACs like that as much as people would want it.

 

[FourMyle]

LET'S GET THIS MONEY

 

[theowne]

Hungrybox is hated by many for taking full advantage of Jigglypuff's back-air, and spamming that move in a "cheap" but highly effective manner.

So he's the Chris G of Smash.

Nice writeup.

 

[kick51]

Doom and Vergil.

Zero/Doom/Vergil 3: A New Age Of Zero/Doom/Vergil

will probably sum up the next year of UMVC3.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Let's get hyped.

 

[Revven]

KOF STARTING

 

[brettreyu]

I'll be cleaning house all day in between watching the stream. Wish I could somehow accomplish both.

 

[Kikujiro]

LET'S GO

 

[IronLich]

DAY 3

LET'S FUCKING GO

 

[ColtraineGF]

Getting that hype in with some COMBO VIDS

 

[Pepto]

Did the 3 vs 3 happen?

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Combo videos suck

 

[Owensboro]

{Smash Bros players knowledge Bomb}

Hey, thanks for that post man. It really helps people like me who know nothing about competitive smash.

 

[SousedLouse]

Combo vid right off the bat? OK

 

[ViewtifulJC]

720p+ still lookin' like 480p

$12 well spent

 

[Revven]

So he's the Chris G of Smash.

Nice writeup.

Yes! Exactly! And Armada counterpicks Hungrybox with Young Link and becomes this crazy zoning game between them.

 

[Eleuin]

Even without Bala there are some great matchups, lets go Romance

 

[lazybones18]

I'm ready

 

[Shito]

Ok, will try to watch all of this without falling asleep during the night!
I'm ready!

 

[Killing_Joke]

wub wub wub

 

[Veggy]

Is the stream really stuttery for anyone? It was completely fine for me on 720p the last few days but now it's stuttering like crazy even on 240p

 

[Rocwell]

kof combos so flashy

 

[Ultimadrago]

What's the best poverty stream chat?

Hoping KOF is hype like last year

Ditto.

 

[RC]

Last year's KOF finals turned me into a believer. That's what I love about Evo, it turns you into a appreciator of games you might otherwise overlook.

 

[Terareflection]

wub wub wub

Yup.

 

[FYC]

Pretty cool video

We fight now?

 

[OceanBlue]

That was a really awesome video.

 

[Owensboro]

What's the best poverty stream chat?

You're currently in it!

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Ok, will try to watch all of this without falling asleep during the night!
I'm ready!

I'm going to try for the same. Slacked a little bit last night and slept through 3 hours of the early Marvel pools.

Almost 30k for KOF. It's looking good to break 100k by the time AE starts.

 

[ismk]

Wow, a second thread for EVO, daaaaaaaaang.

 

[BassForever]

Didn't watch anything from the past 2 days outside of the dive kicks gameplay but I'll probably watch most of today's finals.

 

[StriKeVillain]

720p+ still lookin' like 480p

$12 well spent

Yeah - I decided to stray away from throwing my money away this year. Twitch has been way too unreliable as of late.

It's a wishlist, not a prediction! ;-)

In 1 year, a failure to incorporate most of those ideas, will probably result in Skullgirls becoming my main game. It just has too much going for it outside of the small cast.

 

[hitsugi]

5) Damage reduced by roughly 1/2 to 1/3 across the board (chip damage buffed to 50% or so to ensure keepaway is still viable).

Unfortunately, damage reduction would only make tiers stick out even more.

 

[Shito]

I'm going to try for the same. Slacked a little bit last night and slept through 3 hours of the early Marvel pools.

Heh, quite like me, slept 4 hours and woke up just for the semis. ^^

 

[solidgear91]

Lets go!

 

[Ultimadrago]

It starts!

You're currently in it!

Haha. I'm cool with that!

 

[Strange in Stereo]

No Juicebox? GTFO

 

[djplaeskool]

Damn, I love that song for the KOF intro.

 

[Horseress]

AW SHIT LET'S DO THIS

 

[RC]

And here comes the curtain tech.

 

[IronLich]

GODDAMN THOSE INTROS ARE AMAZING
