How long will this MVC finals be? 2 hours?

 

[SargerusBR]

FINALLY

 

[Recall]

Sayonara, Prog. ;_;


And it's not Smash's fault that it went overtime. Chill yourself.

Its EVO who the fuck cares if it runs long. More matches, more hype, more fun.

People shitting on games that no one is forcing them to watch are sad. Bringing others down because they don't know how to step away just shows who the dickheads really are.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Yawn, and now one of the most boring games, just flashes and explosions to please those who only like action. Guess I'm off to do something else.

Marvel's on next!

 

[Curry-Hakase]

Get well soon Prog


Tears of joy

Except for ChrisG's.

 

[Trojan X]

I just tuned in and caught the Smash Brothers Melee finals, the awards and speeches. That was wonderful! This is what I wanted to see, professionalism, respect and care. Well done to everyone and those that came 3rd place and below, please do not hang your heads low. You've all done incredibly well and you were all part of an inspirational moment that I believe would inspire hundreds of people. Extra special attention to the commentators they looked great and they did a great job! I seriously hope that their efforts will open new doors that will bring them to great frontiers. I'm touched.

i follow him on twitter, but i dont really use it anymore. I remember him posting about getting some tests done but i thought he also posted an update that things weren't as grim as he initially though

 

[iori9999]

This is pretty much how I feel about it. I may not like the game (or how fucking long the matches are), but god damn do I respect the loyalty and tenacity of the Smash scene.

Repost for new topic, cause I can.

[I-hate-u]

Please be Combofiend and Yipes. PLEASE

 

[Eleuin]

If JWong, Chris or Champ win there will be more tears

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Except for ChrisG's.

Chris G was actually happy last time he was on camera.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Oh right Marvel is up?

Guess its time to grab dinner everyone!

 

[SlimXx]

 

[Neoxon]

Farewell, Melee. You've had one hell of a run. But as one thing ends, another begins. Kick some ass, Smash 4.

 

[Anilusion]

Stream lost 40k viewers after smash. The real hype is over.

 

[Salex_]

Yawn, and now one of the most boring games, just flashes and explosions to please those who only like action. Guess I'm off to do something else.

lol.

The endless cycle.

 

[MrDaravon]

I don't think Marn is going to win a runback...but I also never thought he would have won the first time, so who knows?

Also relevant now, but Marn posted earlier on Twitter about his condition...as well as some fuck yous lol:

Just a fyi about what I have. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henoch-Schönlein_purpura … It's not contagious, but I'm more likely to get sick than anyone else at EVO ^_^

With that said, I am in a bunch of pain, but I will try my best to win EVO. If not, fk it, I still made it over Cloud80Shit and FluxSux

I didn't sleep last night because my legs were burning and I can't clench my fist. I went off of all adrenaline yesterday.

 

[QisTopTier]

This really is the best seat... I need to buy Seth some drinks tonight... return the favor from last night xD

I hear LoL is pretty entertaining. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

 

[Effect]

So Smash broke it's record right? I topped out at over 137K or 138K during the grand finale match.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

FChamp when he loses.

Oh Snap

 

[hitgirl]

I can't imagine it's healthy sitting around practicing a video game all day.

 

[iori9999]

I hope Smash U is really good..

 

[livestOne]

I want to hear the sound of glass breaking then in enter the rock and yipes on commentary
Vegas city do it big

 

[L00P]

Damn, didn't know prog was sick. Get well soon man

 

[Trey]

what is the tl;dr of the post smash speech? had to step out.

Prog is retiring, thanked the community, many tears were shed.

Seriously. Seeing driveby posts about certain games all day has been lame, EVO is a celebration of the fighting game communities.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

The emotional whiplash this room will undergo when Prog's speech is directly followed by MARN vs Chris G

 

[ec0ec0]

well Marn, we are here just for you. Dont disappoint

 

[Dahbomb]

If JWong wins I will cry the manliest of manly tears.

[RC]

I look forward the most to a Filipino Champ vs Justin Wong match.

I missed most of the pools and quarters/semi's. So this warms my heart immensely.

 

[ieptbarakat]

Time for mahvel baybee!

 

[rocK`]

Oh right Marvel is up?

Guess its time to grab dinner everyone!

your ignorance is delightful

 

[Altazor]

as much as I like watching Melee, I think BlazBlue's final wa the highlight of the day (so far) for me. GARIREO and his comeback was definitely an EVO Moment™

 

[Omega]

people who want to watch USF4 before 3am

pretty much this.

and this is also 3AM PST

 

[Pappasman]

Being so close to the stage for top 8 was absolutly incredible.

Long live Melee. The greatest game ever made.

I presume you're from the west coast or don't have to work on monday like a grown adult.

Congratulations.

 

[RellyRell28]

Nintendo thought it was smart to do it tomorrow instead of today, for some strange reason. Don't want to capitalize on this excitement now do we?

They're just now accepting this. They're always slow you gotta give them time

Exactly. It's been even more annoying that people on GAF are doing it. I mean I expect it from the chat, but come on. STFU already.

 

[Nanashrew]

I'M READY!

 

[Kadey]

Mango is the only defending EVO champ besides Daigo and Perfect Legend in the modern area.

 

[MormaPope]

Great, stream viewer dick size competitions, how grand.

IT'S FUELING HIM

 

[Slowdive]

I wish the best for Prog.. Cancer sucks.. I wish it didn't exist period.. Hope he destroys it..

I don't think it's cancer? At least he said it wasn't on twitter the other week, he said it was benign.

Either way I hope he gets well soon.

 

[enzo_gt]

whens purity

Stream lost 40k viewers after smash. The real hype is over.

Of course, Smashers don't like watching other games. This happened last year and at other tournaments as well.

I'm not sure why this is even still a thing when they crawl right back up. Of course people left, it's a break in between games and happens after every game to different degrees.

 

[Beelzebufo]

grim health reasons. it's painful for him to move.

but fuck smash m i rite? whens mahvel

It's up next! It's about damn time too!
