The funniest USA chant is in Melee, where only Mango seems to get it despite 90% of the Melee greats being American

When everyone busted out into the Star Spangled Banner at Apex 2014 in the Mango/Leffen set... Instant best moment of April.

Edit: I will always love the sequence with everyone singing "and the bombs busting in air" while Leffen gets like 3 or 4 Fox up-airs on Mango's Falco. :lol

 

[ad_idem]

That's not close enough for me

Hope you enjoyed the tournament and the camaraderie (and obviously Vegas too) so far. The finals today I'm sure will be pretty damn hype, especially in person.

[OceanBlue]

I'm hype for some BB!

 

[Conceited]

[Busaiku]

Is that an anime thing if so yes

It's a card game.

 

[sneaky77]

Is there a way to see the standings or brackets?

 

[Diablohead]

Smash finals will be about 4 hours from now, right? worried that I might miss it being outside for a bit with the family.

 

[shadowstar]

Fuck breakfast took too long. Anyone who's there how full is it? Any seats left? If there are two would you guys mind saving two for some gaf bros?

 

[Fugu]

This is my Christmas.

 

[Retro_]

Did I miss Blazblue?

 

[Beats]

Did I miss Blazblue?

Nope, it hasn't started yet.

boatwaifu on the daki

The security wasn't letting the players for BB top 8 through the line. I saw SG and Dogura queueing behind me earlier.

here i was thinking it was going to be EST. cot dang. I will not miss this. where do we find out whose in top 8?

 

[chrono01]

That EVO logo is making me sad.

Start already!

Is there a stream that's currently active right now? It'll give me something to do until the main SRK stream goes live.

 

[T.O.P]

BlazBlue Evo 2011 grand final is one of my favourite sets in tourneys

Spark's Hakumen was just so awesome to watch

 

[Ultimadrago]

fuck shimakaze

Shimakaze? Where?!

 

[irfaanator]

That EVO logo is making me sad.

[Busaiku]

Have you watched any anime streams.
She was on like all the time.

 

[SloaneRisette]

boatwaifu on the daki

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Roh roh, starting late is not a good sign, hehe.

you can watch The International 2014 instead

 

[chrono01]

Coil is done for the week.

Well, I do still have CT to do, but that can wait until tomorrow. I have EVO today!

please dont start, since I'm not home yet asnd wont be for anouther 30min (feels bad man)

Let's compromise and say 15 minutes. That way you shouldn't miss anything super-important and I won't die from boredom.

 

[nephilimdj]

I want to see them win but the USA chant, especially during Blazeblue yesterday, felt awkward and in bad taste.

They did in KOF also, was awkward

 

[Nibel]

So annoyed that Smash finals collide with the World Cup final

 

[.la1n]

Roh roh, starting late is not a good sign, hehe.

I thought starting late was a sign of good luck for fighting game tournaments?

Kappa

 

[Hag]

somebody put xrd on stream while we wait bb

a man can dream right

 

[Pappasman]

The players are sitting down right now. Just plugged their sticks in.

 

[Diablohead]

here i was thinking it was going to be EST. cot dang. I will not miss this. where do we find out whose in top 8?

not sure but i'd expect them to show us the list when smash starts

 

[Salex_]

I hope that guy doesn't shove that Shimakaze pillow on the stream for 100k+ people to see during Blazblue....It was bad enough that he did it all day yesterday.

That definitely won't leave good first impressions for newcomers.

Blazblue won't get 100k viewers.

It will.

Keits wouldn't stand for this!!!!!

 

[chrono01]

\(^_^)/

*stares intensely at the EVO logo*

Start.
Start.
START!

I hope that guy doesn't find a way to put that Shimakaze pillow on the stream for 100k+ people to see during Blazblue....

That definitely won't leave good first impressions for newcomers.

I'm pretty sure he will. It was displayed prominently during a nice portion of the Atlus stream yesterday.

Also, Shimakaze best KanColle.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Have you watched any anime streams.
She was on like all the time.

Think I caught two seconds of one.
Will check some archives now though.

 

[Busaiku]

The most awkward was 2011, when people were chanting USA for Latif.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

It was a joke man. Chill out.

Edit: Could've sworn you saw it before Ultimadrago

 

[Dugna]

So watching evo1 channel on twitch is that were the Blazblue finals are?

 

[Beelzebufo]

The most awkward was 2011, when people were chanting USA for Latif.

I'm telling you, it's basically just a "This is cool" chant.

 

[RedSwirl]

Just woke up, why is Twitch displaying Marvel? That doesn't start till 6:30 EST right?

 

[trixx]

So annoyed that Smash finals collide with the World Cup final

What i didn't even know this. Welp can always watch the smash bros finals on youtube.

 

[chrono01]

Yep.

 

[LowParry]

Yeah... It's honestly kind of a bummer that more folks from other countries don't do the same thing. Whenever Korean players win tournaments and they take out a Korean flag and start waving it around, I have to give them the slow clap; I love seeing that kind of enthusiasm.

I think of it like this:

When the player in your arcade went to visit other arcades it was always a treat to see how they did. It gave you a weird, probably undeserved, feeling of pride to see the best guy who you and others at the arcade play against all the time beat the best players of other arcades. You start collectively feeling like the best since you are part of the environment that produced him or her.

In this scenario think of the U.S., Europe, Japan, Korea, etc as just really big arcades.

Although in my case back as a kid it was a pizza place with arcade cabs and not a proper arcade lol

Everything is srkevo1 today.
