Marvel top 8 teams

Frutsy - MODOK, Cap, Doom
KBR - Hulk, Sentinel, Haggar
ApologyMan - Firebrand, Doom, Skrull
RayRay - Magneto, Doom, Sentinel

Neo - Magneto, Doom, Phoenix
Dizzy - Zero, Doom, Vergil
Cross - Zero, Dr. Strange, Dante
RF - Morrigan, Doom, Vergil

KBR's team is about massive wtf damage in only a few hits. If he takes the title, the journey will definitely have been entertaining.

 

[ElFly]

Haha, I love how they award arcade sticks to Smash players.

It's part of an outreach program.

 

[Omega]

Stream dropped 75k because nothing is going on.

please

this is the first time in EVO history there's been a dropoff between transitions

 

[Fandangox]

Ding Mang0 really threw away his medal?

 

[Vire]

no way. stream dropped to 125k. That's why Smash should of been the 2nd to last game so USF4 could eat.

It'll jump back up as soon as the Final 8 starts.

Marvel did 15,000 more viewers than Smash last year.

 

[Lulubop]

Marvel 250k? No notable names so it might get tough.

It won't even get up to 200k. The drop off here was much more than the drop off after MK10

Yooo @ApologyMan_ they looking for you!! Hurry up they might DQ you use Yoga teleport quick #evo2015

What a guy lol.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

needs more Doom

Doom's got this

 

[Rainy]

apologyman is late apparently, according to fchamp

 

[Lady Siara]

Also the My God/Sleep match is the funniest fucking thing I have seen from all of evo so far.

Just looked that up and wow, sad I missed that moment. Still laughing.

 

[Trey]

its already midnight in europe, so nah

smash was the prime time game

Marvel's slot is always the peak for numbers.

 

[Rice-Eater]

250k isn't happening this year. I just don't see how Marvel or USF4 can somehow get another 50k over Melee which has been 2nd two years in a row and not too far behind Marvel both years. Hitting 200k is already a huge milestone and I don't see it going too far above that if at all for the final two games. Next year though is a different story.

 

[Wallach]

Mango threw his medal at the crowd? Out of salt or did he think he was being nice?

Some of both. He seemed like he was in better spirits already, but at the same time was kind of making a statement about how little top 8 meant compared to what he wanted.

 

[Sephzilla]

apologyman is late apparently, according to fchamp

That's a nice on time EVO you have there.

Would be a shame if someone delayed it

 

[Pappasman]

Man, I think Marvel 3 is a dumb game, but goddamn its fun as hell to watch.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Dat nostalgic MvC2 OST

 

[TheSeks]

No. Street 4, bae.

Yea, SFV def gonna bring the heat.

I think it could have been done if they put MKX in marvel's timeslot instead. Or even Melee had it...like it was supposed to.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

about 96k

not bad considering the awful time slot.

 

[Papercuts]

Mango threw his medal at the crowd? Out of salt or did he think he was being nice?

I took it as a funny gesture.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

it's Mango, he probably did it for America

it made sense in his head

 

[That Dude John]

i wish capcom would make more jazzy themes

 

[ChouGoku]

Bruh if they dont play the airship stage I might be a little salty starting this off

 

[Kriken]

Just saw mang0 throw his medal, jeeze the salt is real

Edit: Watching it a second time does seem like a friendly gesture

Ding Mang0 really threw away his medal?

Yes

I wanna take you for a ride.

Come on, put that one on!

 

[NotLiquid]

The dude changed his Twitter display name to a crying emoticon after throwing his GC controller on the floor off-camera.

If he didn't already dislike Hbox enough this experience must have broken him. Melee is getting way too personal.

 

[crimzonflame]

oh man that MvC2 soundtrack

 

[Dai101]

The stream also needs more "Wanna take you for a ride"

 

[KingBroly]

It'll jump back up as soon as the Final 8 starts.

Marvel did 15,000 more viewers than Smash last year.

Marvel had more competitors and hype around it last year. They stopped selling the game over the past year, so its' hype factor is dropping along with the competitive scene.

 

[djplaeskool]

This might be the most interesting Top 8 for Marvel of all time.
Int'l competition leveled up big time.

 

[EatinOlives]

Dat nostalgic MvC2 OST

They should I WANNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE until apologyman gets his ass on stage.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

i wish capcom would make more jazzy themes

Dreamcast era Capcom, I miss thee.

 

[Rainy]

rayray is also apparently missing.

 

[RellyRell28]

no way. stream dropped to 125k. That's why Smash should of been the 2nd to last game so USF4 could eat.

I love the ignorance of this post like they don't the big blue Evo screen in front of them due to a big time gap cause of Melee ending early(since they added an extra hour for it).

 

[Ragingnight]

lol i knew that marvel players would just hang and chillout and come at like 4

 

[Collateral22]

What time are the SFIV finals?

 

[Mass Effect]

Man, MarlinPie had a terrible showing this year. Didn't even make it out of pools

What time are the SFIV finals?

6:30 PST

 

[Coldnoodle]

I WANNA TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE

 

[Perro]

I don't like Marvel much but I'm in just for the salty american tears. Let's go Mexico!

 

[juicyb]

Fuckkkk I don't want Chen doing the Top 8 commentary. Shitty stories and bad jokes galore T.T

 

[ChouGoku]

Mexico, Japan, Japan

Very international top 8, I thought this was Americas game wtf? pls america dont be the land of the free

 

[BigBadShamoo]

You can probably get the insides of the mod sticks modded to work if they don't already work. That'd be so cool.

 

[Fitts]

Sounds like a shitbag.

 

[BassForever]

Most to least hype for me

KI > P4 > GG Xrd > KoF > MKX > Smash 4 > Melee > Tekken 7

Was legit shocked KI was the game I enjoyed the least last year and it completely blew away my expectations this time

 

[cackhyena]

What time are the SFIV finals?

About 2 1/2 hours from now.

 

[MrDaravon]

Why does Marn hate KBR? lol

 

[A Pretty Panda]

training mode music

wait no it's not I'm dumb
