Jan got this

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

what exactly happened between last year and this year, when did the number of people shitting on other games suddenly go up in this thread

I think people were willing to let it slide just because they thought it was going to be a one-time thing last year and wouldn't have to deal with it after that, but now that it's becoming a fixture of fighting game tournaments, the knives have come out.

 

[smurfx]

so did smash break its viewership numbers from last year?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Saltybet is taking bets on whether or not Yipes is going to be on commentary LOL

SaltyBet has been MVP of the weekend. It's been a blast over there.

They need to institute some parlay bets too. :lol

 

[I-hate-u]

It gotta be Yipes and Combo. Cmon guys, do the right thing.

 

[enzo_gt]

What happened to these announcements? First one was supposed to be after KI, and then Smash.

We got some of them, one was the Tom Cannon award after Smash. That's pretty much it.

The post-KI announcement was the new KI forum.

The "real" announcement time is after this, which is probably just going to be Tekken 7 and a Shoryuken picture.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Guys, guys, guys.

Let's get a kickstarter going to have Keits run EVO next year. Then we can all live together in scheduling peace.

 

[WesternHeretic]

I'm pretty sure that's why we have Christmas.

Solar pls.

Christmas is meant so everyone can give me gifts, because I'm the best person on this planet.

Guys, guys, guys.

Let's get a kickstarter going to have Keits run EVO next year. Then we can all live together in in scheduling peace.

Hey....

....


FUCK YOU

 

[BakedYams]

COME ON CHRIS G! YOU CAN'T LET F CHAMP WIN AGAIN! OR FLOCKER! GOD DAMN IT, WHY ARE THERE TWO RETURNING CHAMPIONS IN TOP 8? YOU ONLY HAD TWO JOBS SMEDWICKS!

If Marn is hungry, he can do it.

I saw Marn when heading to the bathroom

That man does not look good

Just an FYI for those not in the know:

Prog has been dealing with health issues ever since earlier this year at Apex 2014 (he had a cane and was limping around a little). He had a cancer scare after that event which he then sought to get surgery for -- he thought (after the surgery) he would be fine but once May started he began to realize he probably can't commentate much anymore. He already took a long hiatus after RoM7 (Revival of Melee 7).

A few weeks ago at MLG Anaheim he was limping around at the venue and even had to stop commentating early on Day 1 of the event. Throughout that weekend he felt awful but he still commentated for the community.

Cancer runs through prog's family and although he doesn't have it yet (he's been treated for it) he, however, has polyps in his colon. So it's very, very difficult for him to move around sometimes. That's why he said some days he feels like 90% while others he feels like 50%.

He had to retire from commentary for these reasons. D1 was upset because he's barely gotten to commentate with prog all year and it was prog's last year -- they're real close friends and everything.

So now you know. I hope people who were a little ignorant on it read this lol.

It's atleast a bit comforting to know it's benign.. Hope he eradicates it.. Thanks for the info..

 

[RedEther]

He ain't even there.

Great news

 

[SargerusBR]

And the stream starts to lag right before Mahvel...


OF COURSE

 

[FSLink]

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

Congratulations.

Just watch the damn archives, or wait for it on Youtube. Also some of us are on shift work, I work 12 hour days sometimes longer if I have to take care of sailors. You can drop the condescending comments.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

People planning assassinations?

 

[Biochet]

we death threats now

 

[Moonlight]

so did smash break its viewership numbers from last year?

At the very last moments, yes.

 

[QisTopTier]

What favor?

Front stage access and got me drunk as well lol

 

[Nanashrew]

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

Congratulations.

Then be an adult, pick your priorities, be responsible and miss out. There's no point in getting into juvenile temper tantrums.

 

[OceanBlue]

And the stream starts to lag right before Mahvel...


OF COURSE

Okay, guess I'm not the only one lol.

 

[Papercuts]

so did smash break its viewership numbers from last year?

I think the highest I saw was 137K. Can't recall last year but I think that beat it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

how much longer until marvel?

 

[Neoxon]

 

[GuardianE]

As someone on the East Coast who knows tournaments run late, and who absolutely needs to see finals day live, I took Monday off of work.

 

[Busaiku]

They pushed the 1st game up an hour from previous years, and still they're gonna finish way late.
I don't understand these guys.

 

[LowParry]

I was making fun of everyone crying when they won tournaments/World Cups, not about Prog.

No heart. No soul.

 

[Sayah]

So, did Harada actually leave?

Nope

My bad, with the walls of text, its hard to keep things in context with timing and all.

 

[RellyRell28]

I will except Yipes commentating with the following
Persia
UltraDavid
James Chen
Combofiend

 

[Cyrano]

Yeah, BlazBlue, weirdly enough, has by far been the hypest EVO moment this year. So many barely holding on moments. It was amazing how close every single match was. And the comebacks were NUTS.

 

[Ultimadrago]

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

It's inevitable.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Yams pls. CEO Mahvel winners don't win EVO

 

[MormaPope]

I admit I'm not a MvC player, but shit is it a boring spectator sport for someone who has no clue what's going on.

Doesn't take long to grasp what's happening at all.

Three characters
Other two characters can be used as assists, extend a combo, add pressure, or do a surprise attack
Infinite combos build meter.
Meter = specials
Specials that take the equivalent of three meters usually kill if life bar is at half
X-Factor boosts attack power and speed

There you go, that's Marvel 3. Fundamentals and character strengths/weaknesses vary, just like every other fighting game.

Ah

Something to watch during the wait, thanks!

 

[Darvan]

Forgot about the perfects, didn't see the comeback. So many hype moments so far.



It's designed that way so that really long supers are still viable in the waning seconds

Thanks Leaherhat I didn't know it was made that way .

 

[leatherhat]

As someone on the East Coast who knows tournaments run late, and who absolutely needs to see finals day live, I took Monday off of work.

Respect

Thanks Leaherhat I didn't know it was made that way .

Yeah they don't do it in SF so in the final seconds ultra's basically can't be used

 

[Kadey]

 

[Dark Ninja]

Somebody get that smiling Chris G thumbs up gif from yesterday

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Marn got this

 

[Moonlight]

It's inevitable.

Gotta believe.

 

[Beelzebufo]

My bad, with the walls of text, its hard to keep things in context with timing and all.

No worries
But yeah, that would be really messed up if anyone was, but I can't imagine anyone who actually knew what was going on would have.

 

[ironmang]

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

Congratulations.

You can always watch archives. Not like it's that bad for the east coast when you have euro monsters completely screwing up their sleep schedule to watch this live.

 

[shaowebb]

The salt is turning us into monsters!

 

[gngf123]

Damn I hope I can stay up for Ultra finals. It'll probably finish at 7am or something.

Maybe I could use Marvel as a chance to take a nap.

 

[Lucumo]

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

Nah, I'm not a fan of casual games.
