Ive been gone all day.

I see they got Lee Chung da gawd on the mic.

 

[Busaiku]

I honestly doubt that Street Fighter finals will be hype.
Fuudo or Gackt are very much poised to take the entire thing.

 

[Biochet]

PACK
IT
UP

 

[Lazyslob]

lol east coast

lol

 

[Dahbomb]

Difference is; East Coast too busy dissing each other and talking shit. Not trynna make each other better, while the West Coast got each others backs n shit.

The realest of real talk.


And this would've been 7-1 (aka Brazil tier) if it was an 8v8. I mean if WNF can get Justin and Mike Ross to come on board? SSSHHHHIIIIEEETTTTTT

 

[bryt]

What a fun day. And there's still two more to go!

 

[The Last Emperor]

Kadey, how we doing thread wise?

 

[WesternHeretic]

east coast free as hell. last time i stay up for an east vs west. we're so far behind its ridiculous

Japan > West coast > Singapore > Europe > canada > east coast

Woah woah woah there buddy. Canada?

Woah calm down man.

 

[mbpm1]

With so many killers from NLBC/WNF, this should have been 10v10.

That would have been way worse for NLBC. Brazil tier for sure XD

 

[toddhunter]

I honestly doubt that Street Fighter finals will be hype.

Real talk, from about top 16 or so on today, it was sort of boring and that'll continue during the finals. But before that? Amazing.

Brilliant day of entertainment.

Kadey, how we doing thread wise?

From memory we hit EVO thread 2 going into day 3, but didn't quite need it. There will be fewer people posting about marvel tomorrow, but at 40 times the volume. So it should get there a lot quicker this year.

 

[pixelish]

at least lee chung won in the east coast vs west coast commentary battle

 

[CountBlack]

Woah woah woah there buddy. Canada?

Woah calm down man.

Canada OP breh

u seen dis dj breh

Should of put Gootecks on the team.

 

[biosnake20]

At least we beat their best player.

 

[Busaiku]

Gootecks would probably blow up anyone from NLBC that wasn't one of those 5.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Street fighters finals will be 100% hype if.....

Spoiler

Snake Eyez doesn't go 0-2 from winners and finish 5th =(

 

[Infinite]

Gootecks would probably blow up anyone from NLBC that wasn't one of those 5.

lol

Woah woah....

Let's not get TOO crazy here. NLBC still has Rice Suave.

 

[2Crisis]

Snake Eyez vs Xian for match of the day, hands down.

 

[Trey]

Nah, the actual matches were much closer than the Brazil blowup.

Not Brazil tier in any fashion.

EC lost three match point rounds I think. Still ;_;

 

[Kadey]

11 am ET

8 am PST

Day two. All Marvel.

 

[soakrates]

If I wasn't on my phone I'd go through the last few FGW threads and quote all the posts where people said WNF would get rolled by NLBC were it not for Snake Eyes. Y'all had a rude awakening.

Honestly though, as a west coast player that was grueling to watch.

 

[ReiGun]

I would have to work on the day of Injustice finals and Marvel. Fucking real life getting in the way of my comic book fighting games.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Woah woah....

Let's not get TOO crazy here. NLBC still has Rice Suave.

Oh yea... they do. Rico needs to move west and start his modeling/body building career. He can play street fighter on the side, and casually make top 32 at EVO.

Stay on the east.. NOT HAPPENING.

 

[mbpm1]

That was pretty awesome. NLB was relatively free, but it was Omega free to people like Dieminion and Sanford compared to this beforehand and got here, so here's to leveling up all over again.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Same here, man. I can't even sneak a window open on the browser, as it'll fuck up the podcast recording. So I'll basically end up hitting F5 on this thread while I monitor levels all day.

 

[Shackzam]

I swear it's my east coast bias, but almost all those matches were counter pick matches for NLBC.

 

[evolution]

East coast had the ideal team and still lost. I'm glad this debate can be put to rest for a while now.

And that's exactly what I meant when I said it's a lose-lose match for NLBC. Snake Eyez is the only really "known" (I know Keno had his moments in 2009, but c'mon 5 years ago) player. So with a bunch of veterans losing 5-1 (and the 1 being Snake)....the back lash going to be huge.

 

[Rentahamster]

That was a hype friday. Now its time for some breakfast burritos, alcohol, and gambling.

Or maybe some casuals.


Hmmmm...

 

[Kadey]

At this same time last year we had 10,717 posts. So yeah. We are way behind.

fgc is dying

all marvel tomorrow? Welp, looks like I get to go outside and look at sunlight and stuff

 

[Bobby Roberts]

East Coast = March Madness
West Coast = NBA Playoffs

Yeah, one's probably way more hype to watch (as Spooky's numbers bear out) but the other is just a higher quality of game.

fgc is dying

I'd like to think it's more that a higher percentage of GAF is actually in the building, doing stuff, as opposed to being at home, streaming stuff.

 

[Fermbiz]

Salty Suite coming up?

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Not enough marvel day one.

I missed almost all of day1 due to work, friday, and music in the park.

Hopefully there will be people into fighting games at my friend's baby shower

Spoiler

there won't be.

 

[Busaiku]

Last year there were 3 games with finals on Friday.
Plus there were a lot more casual viewers, since Super Smash Bros Melee had its debut then as well.

 

[enzo_gt]

This is probably even less than the year before that, IIRC.

First day was good. A lot of upsets, but most were off-screen. One really memorable moment and a lot of great matches. Injustice getting screwed is very unfortunate though.

marvel is starting tomorrow and I already have the most posts in this thread, oh gawd

Many people are banned, you have DOTA thing going and world cup will affect some viewers for some time so this year is not looking to surpass last year.

at least lee chung won in the east coast vs west coast commentary battle

Yeah the TI4 is taking some attention away from EVO.

I will see you guys tomorrow during Marvel Quarters/Semis because pools will be boring as hell (although with the occasional crazy game on stream).

 

[Scooby]

Is KI tomorrow?
edit: nvm just saw the OP

 

[Goon]

I hope Bonchan gets knocked down to losers tomorrow so Snake Eyez has a chance to make it to winners finals. How is Snake Eyez at the Fei Long match up? oneframelink pls

He placed 9th last year...

Marvel pool is the most boring crap on this planet. You can count me out and I love watching Marvel. I will be tuning in for top 128/256 or whatever the number is.

The World Cup will be over by the time marvel top 8 starts. Not sure about dota. I'm thinking highest concurrent views will be around 190k

Almost everything that came out of their mouths were wrong.

 

[Masaki_]

Would've been a good day 1 if the majority of the good matches were on stream. Seriously, who decided Daigo vs Choi had to be played off stream?
