Nah USFIV will be the peak as always.

except Marvel has been the highest the last two years?

I bet smash viewers open like 50 windows on their browser to increase the viewer count.

lol

 

[Xater]

so how long is melee going to take? Like 4 hours or something?

Smash always takes too long.

 

[Wallach]

What was the reset hype from like 10 minutes ago during Grandpa/Sonicfox match? What did it do?

A reset is when the player on loser's side in grand finals wins the first best of 5, and puts the player in winner's side into loser's with him. Then the final best of 5 determines the champion.

schedule says 3 hours but you never know.

 

[KingClown]

Looking forward to Melee next. Should be fun!

Been a great day so far. That MKX Grand Final was great, but still not quite as hype as GGXrd for me. REALLY excited for Marvel and USFIV too.

 

[Ikon]

Let's go Sweden!

 

[Lulubop]

So nice of Mr Wizard to schedule in a three/four hour break for the FGC. Seems like a very responsible thing to do, ensuring that no one spends all day on twitch. I'm off to get some tea.

Alright we get it, do we really need to shit on games?

 

[SmackAttack]

I hope there is a moment of silence for Iwata before the Top 8 of Melee starts

They did one yesterday before Smash 4 finals. We'll see if they do it again.

 

[Popnbake]

For as easy as it is to shit on PL I don't think Spooky's advice of going to other shit would make him win evo or the other thing.

Yeah, can't say that his lack of tournaments in comparison to Sonic Fox would have changed much given the amount of top players that failed to make Top 8.

But it certainly makes Sonic Fox's win that much more deserved.

 

[pizzacat]

Melee is next huh?



That's uh

 

[shanafan]

Sonicfox came out of the losers bracket so he had to win two best of fives to win as Foxy hadn't lost. The reset was Sonicfox winning the first best of 5.

Thx!

 

[M_A_C]

Marvel was always the peak.

I doubt it this year.

[Mass Effect]

Damn, I wish I didn't miss most of MKX. Only caught the finals, but it was amazing nonetheless.

Smart of them to put Melee in the middle so we can all take a break from the hype

cute.

 

[V-Faction]

Smash always takes too long.

Grab a snickers and quit your bickers

 

[Ōkami]

Nah USFIV will be the peak as always.

It wasn't the peak the last couple of years.

 

[AWizardDidIt]

I'm going to try to watch Smash Melee and enjoy it.

Try

 

[Producer]

man Melee is gonna take foreeever

 

[Codeblue]

Best part of the awards ceremony is everyone crying about how much they hate the next game on stream.

 

[shaowebb]

Lol where was Perfect Legend? Did he even make it out of pools?

Honestly, he hasn't done anything of note since MK9. Just yells and kicks his feet alot about whichever NRS game he's struggling with and about the public and all how it must be someone else's fault he isn't as insurmountable a threat as he thought he'd always be.

Scene moved on...he never did. For awhile he tried yelling that doing stuff for his stream was hurting his training so he was losing because the public is too demanding. Before that in Injustice it was various shots at how different that game was and such. In MKX I think he may have even shot out a few things about Lao or the meta or some stuff too. Can't remember them all because they all blur together. Great player, but he needs to own his faults more or he'll never overcome them.

 

[Omega]

Has Sonicfox ever lost a tournament for MKX? Seems boring at this point.

i dont get posts like this

i mean i guess if dude just P'd on everyone each round on his way to a win yeah, but he had to come out of losers bracket. Had to deal with a counter pick (im guessing Sonya was because who blind picks for no reason)

 

[Xeteh]

Smash always takes too long.

I'm not a fan of Smash and the length of the matches kills me but eh, whatever. It brings in viewers. I'll still watch it, I just wish they were faster rounds.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Melee is about to bring the hype, haters stay salty

Wow, ok, I'll go see if anyone needs some furniture moved or something. Kappa

 

[Nanashrew]

MELEE TIME!

This time there's no internet interference so no buffering and I won't miss the action!

 

[Pappasman]

The amount of sour posts in this thread is hilarious. Ya'll need to find something else to do rather than post snarky as fuck bullshit.

 

[I-hate-u]

I doubt it this year.

Especially this year, seeing the strong international representation, we having a new champion, and Kane Blue River's passion.

 

[Rainy]

I want PPMD to take it!

 

[Anilusion]

What's up with the smash bros hate?

 

[A-V-B]

Still feel like Honeybee was the player who really made Sonic sweat beads. I've never seen Sonic fight so evenly against another player, not even the Raiden final he lost. Those were great fights and I hope they meet up again some day.

 

[FormallyFamicom]

Nah USFIV will be the peak as always.

SF4 hasn't been the peak in years.

Man I hope all the Smash haters don't shit up the thread with their salt/hatred.

Kinda cool seeing a racially mixed group of people all going crazy and getting excited for each other. one of those thing you hope the future looks like on a daily basis.

 

[JBourne]

Really great MKX finals. Impressive yokimboni from Fox.

 

[Irishmantis]

That was a pretty boring Top 8. Too many sweeps. Why Foxy Grandpa didn't switch variants there is beyond me after it was clear he was getting dominated by Sonic Fox's Erron Black.

Perfect top 8! Good matches, good commentary, a good look for MKX, after that disastrous CEO top 8

lol

ITop 8 was mostly 1 sided but showed the patches worlk and that MK is diverse in balance with a multi national scene.

A good look overall.

[BassForever]

I think it'll be really funny if Smash 4 ends up being quicker then Melee when all is said and done. Smash 4 top 8 finished really quick compared to what people were expecting.

 

[Tomohawk]

If hbox starts planking, people are going to get so mad.

 

[RellyRell28]

Please refresh my memory what them is this a remix of the one playing now on Evo stream

 

[Tea Time]

Is there anything else streaming right now other than Smash and Tekken?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Time for Melee.

 

[Ōkami]

That music, so different from Mortal Kombat, lol

Also way better

It's a matter of how late it is for international viewers really. We'll see.
