So Smash starts in 20 minutes? Want to know whether I can take a quick shower.

I'm scared Reggie and Sakurai are gonna bust something out, but I'm gonna run and take a shower anyways.

 

[Shackzam]

What was the KI announcement?

 

[Tripon]

Ah crap, now we get Smash. Is it gonna be just mirror Foxes? I haven't been following it.

Armada plays Peach, Hungrybox plays Jigglypuff, Mango plays Fox, M2K plays Marth, fox and Shiek. On losers we got Axe who plays Pikachu, and Young Link, silent wolf who plays Fox, Fly Amanita who plays Ice Climbers, PPMD who plays Falco and Marth.

 

[LiK]

Reposting this.

He was the first person to favorite the tweet.

Lol

 

[Papercuts]

How many views at KI's peak? I wonder how many people tuned in through the World Cup.

I think 85K

 

[RellyRell28]

"Smash woo!" lol, it was still KI time.

Only Gutter and CDJR had their medals put on facing the right way.

0-0 At the World Cup, hope it doesn't eat into viewing numbers.

Laptop=Evo
TV= World Cup
That's how you should do it.

 

[RedEther]

Congrats CD jr

 

[Epsilon-delta]

We're in a glass case of emotion!

 

[crimzonflame]

Can the other genre tournaments even compare to EVO?

 

[Projectjustice]

World Champion started with 8 and that was a $80 game for a Snes port. Was that incomplete package?

VF started with 8( i think?) too... was that also an incomplete game?

Most fighting games with Huge rosters have a good percentage of their characters unnoticed at high level play. MVC2 is a perfect example of that.

So your best example is a game that came out in 1990? Different era dude.

Ultra SF4 just came out with 45 characters, KoF13 has 38 characters, and lets not even count UMvC3 cause we know its a lot. Its 2014, not 1990.

Killer Instinct releasing with 6 character is very very disappointing in todays day.

Maybe Starcraft or something like that? IDK I never watched anything else that big.

 

[pelican]

I don't have a clue what that little video was about.

 

[Parablank]

While I'm not sure i agree with the original comment, expectations have certainly changed.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Ah crap, now we get Smash. Is it gonna be just mirror Foxes? I haven't been following it.

It's been pretty diverse recently. A good mix of Ice Climbers, Peach, Jiggly, and the occasional Fox and/or Marth.

 

[M_A_C]

What was the KI announcement?

That Razr made a Xbone stick I guess.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Well that was something.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Laptop=Evo
TV= World Cup
That's how you should do it.

I thought this was obvious

 

[KnightHart]

Laptop=Evo
TV= World Cup
That's how you should do it.

Man mine is the opposite +1

Laptop = World Cup (streaming from CBC Canada)
Main Computer/Monitor = Evo
Laptop = The International

 

[def sim]

Imagine of there was still a viable tournament scene for SSFII Turbo today. That is what Smash Melee competition has become all of these years.
