I'm really disappointed in the American players. Every year they talk up a big game and never show up for the big stage. I'm a big LI Joe fan and I know this is a great achievement for him. After he won the match with Kazunoko you would have thought he just won grand finals. People rushing the stage and going nuts. This is the problem with American scene. Top 8 at EVO seems to be good enough. I'm hoping Joe can pull off a miracle, but I'm sure Infiltration will take home the EVO crown.

" The way they celebrated at the end was unbelievable. Iceland USA fgc don’t try to play, they just defend, defend and defend.
Then they celebrate like they have won the Euros Evo.
This in my opinion shows a small mentality. They are not going to do anything in this competition."

What time is SFV finals on east coast?

10 PM

 

[Parallax Scroll]

If anyone's gonna do that, it's probably gonna be Justin.

I think Justin's gonna be hungry today after getting eliminated in SFV.

 

[olympia]

yeah but Joe is an underdog in this scenario. Like, if there was a huge pop-off for like Justin making top 8, I'd agree more. The huge reaction for Joe is because it was Joe.

Americans sure got beat down though. No arcades in Japan, no early release, and Japan dominated more than ever. 6 out of the top 8!

Not to mention that the way he rallied at the end there was extremely exciting

It's just LI Joe's personality.

He celebrates like that when a 3 second teaser clip of Urien is shown. Chill bro.

So does Marlin stand a chance or will Ogawa obliterate him

 

[RecRoulette]

Exactly, he's been itching to pop Wong Factor.

I mean, that's the Zato god.

 

[Omnistalgic]

10 PM

Tks friend...

 

[dralla]

You could go at the start of Smash Bros and get back in time to catch the top 4, kappa

For real though, invite her over? Watch it together.

I've never met her before and don't plan on inviting over a stranger. She does like Smash tho. I'm either gonna reschedule or make it a quick date during Smash finals.

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

Also just noticed there's no Zero's left in the top 8!

Wowzers

Not too much of a surprise. Zero was figured out a long time ago. No one who actively follows Marvel believes that character is #1 or OP anymore.

 

[RecRoulette]

Add 8 hours. 6:30pm

 

[lazybones18]

Can't wait to see the intro

 

[slightconfuse]

Come on Joe!!!

 

[ldcommando]

in there

 

[Rhaknar]

Add 8 hours. 6:30pm

neat, wasnt sure if it was 8 or 5. so 2 and half hours from now, an that means the MKX finals are on now?

 

[Papercuts]

No, it doesn't really take four hours. It's usually three hours (can sometimes take 20-30 minutes longer than that depending on the MUs) so they gave it some extra buffer time.

The hungrybox jiggly wildcard.

 

[RecRoulette]

Streams live, should be starting any minute now.

Edit: Aris and UltraDavid doing MKX? Okay then, let's go

 

[BassForever]

Start late today good sign already

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

This song has gone through about 4 different genres already. House, funky house, hiphop, electro....

Putting my KRK 6"s through their paces though. Best purchase of the year by far

 

[BassForever]

So people who are far more into the FGC then I am

Is it better for the FGC to see the usual suspects every year in top 8 (like melee for the most part this year) or is it better to have almost all unknown players or people who haven't been to top 8 evo?

 

[Lulubop]

Start late today good sign already

Supposed to start in half an hour bud

 

[ldcommando]

everybody hit the snooze button

 

[Horseress]

Here's hoping for an UltraAris commentary duo for MKX

 

[Rhaknar]

I noticed the Xrd finals are today aswell, o it wasnt part of the Anime Block yesterday? guess its too big for that, thats cool

Here's hoping for an UltraAris commentary duo for MKX

thats exactly what it is

 

[ldcommando]

Supposed to start in half an hour bud

[BassForever]

Supposed to start in half an hour bud

[BassForever]

I see the Melee shitting has already start stay classy FGC

 

[Busaiku]

How can they afford to start late.

 

[gigantor21]

USA has it rough. We need all the support we can get.

You aren't kidding.

Looking at results in past EVOs, American representation in Top 8 for Street Fighter got progressively worse with each passing year.

You had 5 Americans in top 8 for SFIV in 2009 and 2010; Daigo (who won both years) was the only Japanese player to make Top 8 in 2010 at all. Starting in 2011, we never saw more than 2 Americans in Top 8, due to Japanese players showing up in force and players from other countries stepping up in a big way.

As happy as I am that we weren't completely shut out this year, it feels as though the US has fallen further and further behind as the scene has grown. :/

where

 

[lazybones18]

don't know what time they started letting spectators in, but they probably should have started that earlier

Better than Europe!

 

[Durden77]

Does it looks like they're running on schedule? If so Marvel should start around 1:30 to me and I'd like to see that.

 

[BassForever]

Wow the arena is empty

 

[ShinMaruku]

That was nearly the same when Pr ROG beat Bonchan in fucking POOLS. Chants everywhere as if USA just won EVO. That was cringe worthy.

The USA chants makes me want the US to lose. Also I can really go debbie downer on the whole thing let's not get into the myth of American exceptionalism

USA has it rough. We need all the support we can get.

We don't have jack shit rough, you just need a much better practice regime and that would require some people to have a decent salary so they can travel

America is somehow weaker in SFV than they were in SF4.

US is acually the same in sf5 to sf4, they just have less fuckery to fraud their way with.

I'm really disappointed in the American players. Every year they talk up a big game and never show up for the big stage. I'm a big LI Joe fan and I know this is a great achievement for him.

Top 8 at EVO seems to be good enough. I'm hoping Joe can pull off a miracle, but I'm sure Infiltration will take home the EVO crown.

I will excuse Joe because that's as he does and nobody gives him the respect he's due. As for Americans being dissapointing in the EVO showings, it's to be expected the US has more big talkers than anybody but has the weakest average players in regard to the rest of the planet. Never expect them to win unless they regularly go to Japan for boot camp things and learn how Japan approaches the game.

 

[Sinatar]

lollllllll place is fucking empty.

 

[Revven]

Wow that room is EMPTY for MKX

 

[lazybones18]
