So I think we can agree that by going first, BB set the tone for the day.

 

[Curry-Hakase]

If there were bets for top 8, I'm thinking most bet on N-O or Dogura.. Garireo won and reset the bracket and came back down from 0-2 and it was FUCKING HYPE!! Only thing that would have been better is if someone like Tiku or Yoshiki would have won with a relatively weaker character.. Litchi is still top tier..

I loved how SG celebrated with Garireo, it was awesome!!!

Litchi bros, people were calling SG the american Galileo too. Someone needs to tell LK to stick with Litchi lol.

 

[ec0ec0]

my emotions... BibleThump

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Hmmm should I watch the World Cup finals or the Killer Instinct finals?

[Frantic]

lol

When Viscant says something anime related is "pretty cool", you know it was amazing.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

I think that set might have convinced me to give GGX a serious shot when it comes out.

 

[PureYeti]

Man I can feel a lot between 1st and 2nd place than other EVOs

 

[xCobalt]

Garireo trending worldwide on twitter now.

 

[Karsticles]

Yea pretty sure that was his girlfriend.

She's like "oh my god I forgive you for spending so much time playing video games!"

 

[Lulubop]

They won't pass last years viewer records.

 

[shaowebb]

amazing.

this fits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3sZfPSSNVg

God this is amazing. I keep feeling like I could just start crying along with him. That has to be one of the most amazing EVO Grand Finals ever to happen. It very well may just be the number 1 EVO Grand Finals for moments ever.

That man is a legend.

 

[Papercuts]

Who's Top 8 in KI?

Same. Missed it yesterday.

[Busaiku]

lol

Anime was won.

 

[Hot Coldman]

That was the first BB I've ever watched. Pretty good! Hopefully KI can hold up similarly well.

 

[Projectjustice]

Killer Instinct? Time to watch the world cup final.

Meh, Germany is gonna win.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Thank god KI is 2 hours long, so i can watch the World cup and then come back for Smash and the rest of the finals. If it was KOF i would have skipped World Cup.

 

[88random]

Who need world cup final when you have epic finals at Evo

 

[jett]

Animu getting paid

Wow

 

[Firemind]

I don't know what I just saw, but it was HYPE. Anime is saved once more!

 

[enzo_gt]

They won't pass last years viewer records.

KI is kind of fucked, but I'm pretty sure it's going to kick back up in the evening.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Thank god KI is 2 hours long, so i can watch the World cup and then come back for Smash and the rest of the finals.

This year, KI is certainly sent to die - I bet half the people in the audience will be streaming the world cup from their phones at the same time lol

 

[black_vegeta]

Dogura's girlfriend crying her eyes out. I respect the show of emotion.

You could hear her from afar.

 

[tafer]

Fucking legendary match, what a game.

 

[Azure J]

This is why you watch ALL the games on finals day -- you don't know what can happen.

This is what the smart folks do. I'd hate myself for a long time if I didn't get to see stuff like this or KoF @ EVO 2012.

 

[Veggy]

Yeah, I really regret not taking tomorrow off work now. SF Finals won't start until approx 2am UK time.

Its gonna be later than that, KI was supposed to start almost an hour ago

Then there's Smash which always takes a long time

 

[pelican]

Its gonna be later than that, KI was supposed to start almost an hour ago

Then there's Smash which always takes a long time

Yeah, I'm screwed.

Edit: I loved how SG celebrated with Garireo, it was awesome!!!

Yeah, if you think about it the stories were crazy. You had N-O and Dogura, the players everyone expected to win. You had SG, the only American. You had Dora and Tiku, whose character choices and style hyped them up as the crazy underdogs. And then you had Galileo, who was with N-O and Dogura coming in as the players everyone expected to do well until he got 0-3'ed by Dogura and almost lost to Dora.

Yoshiki was the comic relief. :V

I feel bad for Dogura for taking that antagonist position though. Poor guy.

 

[howdyjacker]

Hypest finals in a long , long time.


Nothing else is going to compare today. That much i'm sure.

 

[T.O.P]

First year at Evo and KI has to go against the World Cup, jesus

 

[SliceSabre]

I'mma watch some anime to relax till Melee because KI just is not my thing. Plus World Cup Final.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Is there just nothing for the next hour? I don't care about soccer.

 

[djplaeskool]

KI is next
*turns on World Cup final*

 

[pixelish]

wow i just tuned in to the niconico evo stream and even the producer (?) of bbcp is crying.

 

[pelican]

Why all the grumpiness towards KI?

Finals might be alright.

 

[T.O.P]

Here it comes the Killer Instinct hate


great

Wow

aw

evo is one hell of a tournament so far

 

[sqwarlock]

First year at Evo and KI has to go against the World Cup, jesus

Not only that, but KI has to follow an amazing grand finals. Best of luck, but I don't see it beating the hype.

 

[Slamtastic]

Why all the grumpiness towards KI?

Poverty

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Amazing. It's gottenm e interested in blazBlue. Help a GMTer here. How many hours till K.I?

 

[Nanashrew]

Anime really did win today.

 

[2Crisis]

Is there just nothing for the next hour? I don't care about soccer.

nah KI will be up asap, they are already behind schedule

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Wasn't trying to prevent the hug, was trying to prevent people from rushing the stage (which happens pretty often).

Let them rush, I say! Haha. Just get them off the stage in a timely manner.

I get why they do it though.

I just showed my wife this, we're both

 

[CO_Andy]

Not sure what it is about Evo that brings out the feels ;_;

 

[enzo_gt]

Is there just nothing for the next hour? I don't care about soccer.

KI is up next.

So many negative nancies here, c'mon guys it's EVO. You've been surprised once already today.

 

[OceanBlue]

https://twitter.com/WhiteBl4ck/status/488395385761964032

Wow

Damn, such a heartbreak for her. Dogura must be feeling even worse. So much respect to him for keeping a straight face.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

And now I feel bad for the girlfriend

 

[Dahbomb]

The odds are stacked against KI.

Same time as World Cup, following BBCP insane GF and preceding Smash/Marvel.


I hope it does well and Justin Wong wins it.
