THE IMMORTALS LETS GO.

 

[Revven]

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.

They've started essentially 15 minutes late.

 

[Tidd]

It's 8am there and SFV was over at 11pm? Of course it's empty. lol

 

[Amedo310]

Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to record on that side of the stadium?

Nvm. Shit is just that empty.

 

[ScribbleD]

Wow that room is EMPTY for MKX

It's 8am. A lot of us haven't even made it from the Westgate to the new venue yet. Last night wrapped up around midnight

 

[Kouichi]

This theme always gets me hype

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Evo intros are always quality and hype. Speaking of which, did Pokken and KI have intros?

 

[Lulubop]

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. :/

Well not a lot of international players showed up in 2009 and 2010. In 09 the only Japanese players there were daigo and his boy. They both made top 8.

 

[BY2K]

Jesus, it's empty.

 

[IronLich]

Holy shit. Enter that stadium full of pre-show Wrestlemania attendees.

 

[RecRoulette]

Reminder, it's 8am there.

 

[racketpunch]

Is the srkevo1 stream the same as the ESPN feed?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

That stage will be so cool tonight for SF V

 

[BassForever]

Evo intros are always quality and hype. Speaking of which, did Pokken and KI have intros?

Yeah they were both pretty hype

 

[SRTtoZ]

Can't blame them for not waking up at 7am to be there at 8am after they probably stayed up all night and partied a bit.

 

[bman94]

Mortal Kombat X now looks as empty as it did yesterday.

 

[fr0st]

Jesus, it's empty.

Riki crowd

 

[MrDaravon]

Its 8am there, and let's be honest it's MK and virtually everyone was up watching/attending SFV last night. To be fair though people are probably still being let in, and I imagine by the end of this there will be a lot more people in there.

Edit: Plus a lot of people were probably staying at Westgate so there's traveling involved for most folks as well etc. Not surprising this early.

 

[lazybones18]

I can barely see the stage

 

[pixelish]

1080z TVs hahaha

 

[Sinatar]

Oh shit Aris on commentary, good shit.

 

[Soulstar]

My god this stage. I would have the worst case of stage fright going up on this stage.

 

[TheStig88]

Lord Aris, yesssss! He's done woefully little commentary this year.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

God it looks like a TNA taping

 

[ldcommando]

sfv tonight is going to be nuts

 

[BY2K]

Should start filling up for Marvel.

Nice venue, all things considered.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

What's happened to the right side of hagrids hair?

 

[Master Thespian]

Secret best commentary duo.

 

[Lulubop]

It's almost like it's 8 o'clock on a Sunday morning, in Vegas...

 

[Dartastic]

Does anyone have a link to LI beating Kazunoko? Didn't get to see it.

Nevermind https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r4S1XT-AuzQ

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Yeah they were both pretty hype

Are there any links to them now, or do I have to wait a couple of days? They're not on the twitch archive for some reason. It was Srkevo1 right??

 

[Horseress]

God it looks like a TNA taping

LOL

 

[RecRoulette]

Tekken buried.

Its 8am there, and let's be honest it's MK and virtually everyone was up watching/attending SFV last night. To be fair though people are probably still being let in, and I imagine by the end of this there will be a lot more people in there.

Hell, MKX itself didn't wrap up until close to midnight

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

LIJoe and Justin were in the same bracket apparently. Real talk though, LIJoe is honestly the best choice for an ESPN-friendly American top 8 player. If Justin had made it instead, the whole top 8 would be Asian, and your average ESPN random viewer would be making a lot of Asian nerds on TV complaints. We're going to get those anyway but LIJoe gives them somebody to cheer for and makes it look at least a little bit more diverse.

Im going to be positive and look at it this way.

 

[SDBurton]

Still can't get over Li Joe making top 8. So happy right now.

UltraDavid and Aris commentary? Yessss!

 

[BassForever]

God it looks like a TNA taping

LOL

 

[Papercuts]

Lol, twitch is really trying to push this bit cheer stuff.

 

[lazybones18]

Go Shinnok!

 

[Tizoc]

Yo trekker is from bahrain?
Best of luck bro!

 

[Neoxon]

Still can't get over Li Joe making top 8. So happy right now.

UltraDavid and Aris commentary? Yessss!

It's amazing, & Urien's not even out yet.

 

[ldcommando]

if li joe wins, capcom releases urien tomorrow

 

[RecRoulette]

The crowd can hear the commentary, that's a nice touch.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

I didn't know they rented out a stadium for the homeless to sleep in.

 

[pixelish]

mkx has no bgm?

 

[Syntsui]

They really censored Tekken Master name? FOR REAL? A mistake I see, but how the hell do you confuse this? lol

 

[BassForever]

There we go now it's fixed lol

 

[Envelope]

trekker LUL

 

[Tizoc]

They really censored Tekken Master name? FOR REAL?

They fixed it now

 

[Spacebar]

They really need to make EVO 4 days and spread out the play. Games should wrap up around 10pm so players can go get some rest. Hopefully the play today doesn't suffer.

 

[IronLich]

My girl D'Vorah is doing so much work. Love that f+1 pressure.
