I don't own a stick but short of unplugging it how do people think Momochi instantly disconnected his stick? It paused and then the "please reconnect a controller" message popped up.
Or are people just being stupid? They're being stupid aren't they?
It is a real shame that it ended with that. They were such good finals.

Sigh. Here comes people not understanding the situation:
This is the moment of the disconnection. Yes, Momochi had a slight life lead. However if you read what was currently happening, they are moving towards Momochi's corner. Gamerbee was bearing down on him with st.RH while Momochi is playing footsies and backing up not wanting to commit to anything crazy. It's probably at this point that Gamerbee is putting Momochi right where he wants him and boom disconnection. Add this on top of the fact that Gamerbee had to fight out of his mind in LOsers to get to this point and a disconnection? It completely fucked him who was already more exhausted and tired mentally from the long set with Infiltration. I wholeheartedly believe that Gamerbee was going to win. The people who like Momochi are just going to say that Gamerbee fucked himself after the disconnection and that it's his fault he didn't win.
I like you think you know exactly how the entire match was going to play out due to 11 seconds of one round, more specifically ~5 seconds of those 11.
The salty people who were rooting for GB are just going to say that GB lost exclusively because of the disconnect and no other reason. Like you're doing right now.
Careful, it might explode.

time to catch up on archives of the games i missed
Ugh, it hurts.
It was amazing though! Those were some strong mind games that it was mentally exhausting for the both of them as Infiltration kept trying to find away around the healing and getting more aggressive. In the end GamerBeee won but only just barely and with Adon.

I'm waiting for the post that suggests this is somehow because of smash.

yeah, didn't he quit for a while last time he got second?
Wasn't that the guy who went to Apex this year and was helping them set up after all the shit that went down over there?

Even though their was definitely some cross over, I would have never thought USF4 with this time slot would get close to this amount. I would love to know exactly how many individual viewers their actually was but regardless the number was incredibly impressive.
If I were to guess though I do think it was definitely over 250k. I really don't think 5,000+ non Japanese wandered into the Japanese stream.
"Just one more mouse click to submit this report and get a promotio-OH GOD ITS ON FIRE"
Yep, that hit me straight in the feels, for real.
The look on Gamerbee's face was indescribable.

wow. it's crazy impressive you knew not only what each player was doing, but what they were thinking. I mean in terms of spacing, intent and who had a definitive advantage. i'm very impressed. i mean, i've played fighting games for damn near a decade, but i wasn't even close to reading what you were reading. very intuitive. very intuitive,

Japan was interested in KI, talked about it all night last night and today in the Topanga chat. Ball is in your court Iron Galaxy
It was just them saying to tune into EVO.
Wario got it.
There is no way that SFIV is not coming back next year. You would think that in an Evo with two Smash games being #2 and #3 for entrants that people would realize there is room for SFIV and SFV.
And people liking SFV more than SFIV isn't exactly a lock. And it's not like Daigo, Momochi etc are going to not enter SFIV if they like SFV as well...
SFIV's level of play next Evo should be way higher than SFV too boot. An 8 year old game versus 5 months....

SFIV>Killer Instinct>Melee>Persona>Smash 4>MKX>Guilty Gear>Tekken 7

and Sleep still won the set further burning MyGod
"Gamerbee is putting Momochi right where he wants him" with them standing in the middle of the stage at about the "start of the round" distance with Momochi ahead in both health and number of rounds won! lolSigh. Here comes people not understanding the situation:

Both players were robbed off a fare final game, Gamerbee didn't have this in the bag because he was walking forward when the pause happened. >_<

Momochi is lucky as fuck they had the timer run down. I've seen other tournaments where an incidental pause allows your opponent to kill you anyway he likes. Which would include building up your meter to max. If that had happened the round would've been over before Momochi's stick malfunctioned again and he went to replace it.
Could you imagine it malfunctioning again at the start of the third round? All hell would have broken loose. Just sucks all around how every thing went down, but something had to happen.

Is there a way to watch the top 8 of USF4? I missed it
http://www.twitch.tv/srkevo1 Just check their last broadcast.

Subete no aware
Every year the Evo finals get better and better. Amazing.
In defense of Razer
1) Momochi probably wore that stick out. He said he practices 13-14 hours a day.
2) That deleted tweet had hateful, profane, and racist replies. They can't control what other people tweet but they can keep it off their own tweet page, I would have done the same.

USF4> Melee > Xrd > Marvel > KI > MKX > Tekken, in terms of top 8s. Overall I'd switch Xrd and Marvel. maybe UF and Melee or MK and Tekken but I didn't watch non-top 8s for any of those but Melee.
Haven't watched Persona or Smash 4 GF yet (well I caught part of Persona's, I'd put it in between KI and MK from what I saw), gonna go into the archives for that.
Amazing EVO, I'm almost certainly going next year despite being kind of a scrub. USF4's top 8 was just unprecedented, there's nothing more to say. Sometimes FGC tournaments are so amazing that they feel surreal and that was one of those times.

They'll put SF4 on Saturday. If they put it on Sunday they'll go against why they didn't put Smash U on Sunday this year.
They need to expand to 4 days, though.
Momochi going to go back into the lab for Ken vs Adon and defend da Cap Cup.
Just some weak excuse not to have two smash games on the same day, this is SFIV the headliner of the last 7 evos, it will not be treated the same way.
You guys seriously think they'll have a 1500-2000 entrant SFIV on Sat and let Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR, Tekken 7, MK 10 or UMVC3 in finals day instead?
This is actually fact guys
This is all I'm saying. The pause messed up Gamerbee moreso than Momochi. You won't get people to admit that though. They replaced the stick, carried on, and Momochi won. Obviously the proper end, but heartbreaking nonetheless.
