His loss saved the ESPN crowd from being bored. You gotta have someone to root for in the top 8.

Eita or Joe for champion

[Vena]

Looks like more and more Sm4sh top players are showing up on social media and expressing immense frustration with EVO this year. Some are just outright saying they won't go next year now.

I don't really care what nationality people are, personalities and characters are more entertaining. Instead we get to watch 3 Nash players. Yay.

I sincerely doubt that they would skip out.

 

[Rhaknar]

Is Marvel still on tomorow before SFV or did they finally bump it down the card?

 

[Dahbomb]

Top 8 Marvel 3:


Kaneblueriver: (Hulk/Haggar/Sentinel)
Angelic (Wolverine/Dormammu/Shuma Gorath)
Dual Kevin (Deadpool/Dante/Hawkeye)
Priest (MODOK/Magneto/Doom)

Justin Wong (Wolverine/Storm/Akuma)
ChrisG (Morrigan/Doom/Vergil)
Apologyman (Firebrand/Doom/Skrull)
Paradigm (Haggar/Arthur/Raccoon/Dormammu/Doom)


Highest character variety in a Marvel top 8 EVO yet.


Dual Kevin would be my dream win. Dude's match with ChrisG was peak Marvel 3 performance in terms of pretty much everything.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Aww. We love ya Kaz

It's okay. He's still playing on Sunday.

 

[SmackAttack]

I literally watched EVO all day and what an incredible day it was. From Smash 4's epic road to the Grand Finals (THAT MEGA MAN) to Street Fighter V, just wow. So many great moments, upsets, surprises, etc. Tomorrow should be quite a show itself. See you all there!

 

[SDBurton]

Anyone know the artist who did the remix of Karin's theme during the highlight reel? It's so good

The Classic

 

[I-hate-u]

ice cold!

It's true though. First TV broadcast of EVO and no American player? He is going to be the poster boy of the tournament.

 

[Kadey]

For those who don't have ESPN2. I may be able to provide a link tomorrow. We'll see.

 

[Lulubop]

Is Marvel still on tomorow before SFV or did they finally bump it down the card?

what? marvel is the earliest game. No way is a game going to be on after SFV...

 

[Rhaknar]

Deadpool / Hawkeye whut?

what? marvel is the earliest game. No way is a game going to be on after SFV...

Did you even read what I asked? Lol

 

[fr0st]

Bruh, the clash again?

Losses side too lol.

 

[mbpm1]

LI Joe the only one to make it. Who would have thought haha

We all thought Justin was our only hope. Or PR Rog

 

[PureYeti]

What happened to Tokido?

Lost to Eita I think but idk who sent him to losers

 

[MrDaravon]

If you'd told me that LI Joe and Hugo101 would be the only americans to make top 12 2 days ago I would have laughed at you. Good shit to Joe, can't fucking believe it.

 

[Alucrid]

Lost to Eita I think but idk who sent him to losers

lost to a japanese nash, then eita

 

[Mass Effect]

KBR is gonna win Marvel again isn't he

Is Marvel still on tomorow before SFV or did they finally bump it down the card?

No.10:30AM PST

 

[Anth0ny]

i have a question

how the fuck did we fill out an entire evo thread last year before sunday

 

[Romars202129]

All my Necalli bros got wrecked. Anyone know what happened to Haitani? I missed his matches.

That would be hype from Infilitration.

Who esle does he play?

 

[LiK]

For those who don't have ESPN2. I may be able to provide a link tomorrow. We'll see.

thanks!

Cheering for Apology and Angelic. (Firebrand and Shuma hype)

 

[Gunslinger]

Man I would love it if Joe won EVO. but its probably going to be a free win for infiltration. 3-0 Grandfinals. something like that.

 

[I-hate-u]

Losses side too lol.

And winner most likely has to face Apologyman. Hard luck there.

 

[Exr]

why?

Mad they got placed on Sat instead of Sun

 

[Rhaknar]

KBR is gonna win Marvel again isn't he



No.10:30AM PST

So whats before SFV this year then? Its Smash isnt it? >_>

 

[A Pretty Panda]

So ESPN2 is gonna have Mike and Seth? The twitch stream will have James and Sajam?

Thank god for television

Esports saves the day

 

[Biolink]

i find nash extremely hard to play against, but what would they be able to nerf without destroying him as a character?

Nothing really stands out besides that they should mess with(Without neutering him) besides Cr.Mp.

Great all around tools, but the guys using him make him just make him look that much better IMO.

 

[skLaFarebear]

So we got 3 Nashes in SF and 3 Zatos in GG

And one of the Zato's is American (and the only American in Top 8).

 

[Dark Ninja]

For those who don't have ESPN2. I may be able to provide a link tomorrow. We'll see.

Put me on the list!

 

[Vena]

why?

Because it was apparently run like ass.

 

[Venfayth]

Damn i gotta find a way to watch the ESPN version

Wish I could. Vastly prefer the ESPN commentary duo.

 

[sf2fanatic]

LI Joe has been playing great ever since the game came out.

 

[fr0st]

i have a question

how the fuck did we fill out an entire evo thread last year before sunday

Smash hype I think?

 

[El Sloth]

Remember, y'all, don't judge a character's strength from a single tournament result. Even if it's Evo.

 

[mbpm1]

I don't really care what nationality people are, personalities and characters are more entertaining. Instead we get to watch 3 Nash players. Yay.

It's great. It's just like when people thought elena would plague USFIV last year.

But this time it actually happened.

 

[mitchlol]

I wish we saw some more Alex in top 64 I didn't even get to see 1 match with Alex. It was awesome to see Ita flying the Gief flag though.

Personally I don't enjoy watching Chun matches

Gief
Alex
Laura
Mika (filthy)

Are probably the most fun to watch. (Oh and throw in some Ryu parry why you at it)

Biggest surprise was how much I enjoyed watching Xian play FANG

 

[Unlucky]

They're great players, but I don't like repeat champions so hoping neither Fuudo nor Infil win SF tomorrow.

Same with Justin and KBR in Marvel. They're some of my favorite players, but I'm hoping to see someone new triumph.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

i have a question

how the fuck did we fill out an entire evo thread last year before sunday

Discord didn't exist

 

[Alucrid]

wait. now OHOHOHOHOH will never be mainstream

 

[I-hate-u]

All my Necalli bros got wrecked. Anyone know what happened to Haitani? I missed his matches.



Who esle does he play?

Honestly don't know. He hasn't been streaming as of late. But he is a guy I would expect to be proficient with half of the cast by now.

 

[Finalizer]

no karins in top 8 makes me very sad.

need to have an honorary audience ohoho for the espn viewers

 

[XenoRaven]

Remember, y'all, don't judge a character's strength from a single tournament result. Even if it's Evo.

Nah I prefer to overreact instead of considering all available relevant data
