[Ōkami]

Smash finals are scheduled to start soon, as EVO tradition that's unlikely to happen, anyway how much do you guys think is left for it to start?

 

[DryEyeRelief]

When using Livestreamer, does that count as "viewers" on Twitch?

nope, so you're hurting evo while using it. keep that in mind.

 

[lazybones18]

Catherine 2 pls ;~;

I don't know shit about Catherine, but this is still entertaining.

Maybe I should pick this game up?

Its amazing, and what you're seeing is only half the game. Has a great story and social element to it as well and a good amount of replayability.

 

[ultracal31]

Ally can just lame it out...

Edit: and it worked out!

 

[Azure J]

It's weird how much I hate this style of Sonic but like fighting and watching good Villager and Rosalina play.

 

[TheSeks]

Is Jamie Lee Curtis going to compete in anything?

Probably not. She's there for her son or something like that.

Visually Rosallina has the Luma dynamic and Villager has an array of items. Sonic has...spin spin spin

[DryEyeRelief]

Is MKX done for the day or are they taking a break?

[NotLiquid]

See this is why playing campy doesn't work with Sonic and why I'm upset that 6WX didn't make it

Also shout outs to Strikevillain!

 

[Crayolan]

Timed out campy Sonic. This guy's a goddamn hero.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

that reverse timeout was quite a fitting finish to that.

Mr. Wizard is tweeting out saying Smash 4 customs are hype and a lot of players on Twitter are getting pretty frustrated by it (all of which have already been eliminated, mind you).

Not sure I understand such a strong anti-custom stance anymore; this tournament hasn't had a single super jank win or out-of-nowhere upset due to customs, as far as I've seen. Nothing that overpowered. I can understand the difficulties for a TO, or why it may be more difficult for a player, but I think this tournament has shown that they definitely have potential. I'd be interested in seeing them used again.

The people complaining are against them because some of them are incredibly gimmicky and can be abused where otherwise, the results of a match would be different. Take ESAM, for example. His Pikachu play, for the most part, is the same with or without customs but what changes is he gets a 40-50% KO move (which he can easily setup for with Thunder Wave, as we saw multiple times against top players). The players don't like dealing with that and so since something like that isn't part of the default game, they'd rather play under default moves.

Notice how even a majority of top 32 use default specials, as well. This is because they primarily play under default moves and it's what they're familiar with. It's a completely different meta with customs on.

Just look at Sonic on-stream right now with his two custom moves, he wouldn't be able to camp/runaway as effectively without them. Does Sonic play runaway with his default moves? Yes, but it's not entirely as effective as the custom moves Manny used. Again, it's gimmicky stuff that players don't want to deal with because it's not adding any more skill to the game -- it's, to a degree, taking away skill by making things easier to do with more powerful options.

At least, that's my understanding of it.

 

[lazybones18]

running it back in KOF

 

[Codeblue]

Now if Dabuz can get knocked out, we can have an entertaining top 8.
