10pm est

Pokken was cool but its clear its not a perfect spectator sport. I was into it though.

No crazy, close matches but it was pretty cool.

I thought that might be a problem. There are some fun juggles you can do but the damage isn't worth it, so there's not much fancy stuff one can really do. I adore Pokken so I'll have to check it out later.

 

[Baleoce]

is UltraDavid only doing MK commentary now? he did the same thing last year. kinda miss the James x David combo.

Is the ESPN coverage going to be Mike and Seth for SFV? If so, that would presumably mean James and David are doing the twitch stream?

I'm assuming a few things there, so let me know if I'm wrong.

 

[Mugy]

Excuse me but commentators are really boring to listen to...

We made it Fam.

That Mike Ross vs Mr Wizard bet seems to be playing out interestingly

.

SFV Twitch commentary will be James Chen + Sajam.

David is doing MKX top 8 so won't be doing any others. They don't double people up on top 8s

 

[HardRojo]

Just tuned in, hopefully I'll be able to catch some Marvel before I gotta head out to the mall with my mom and sister.

David never does SF Top 8 commentary, it will be Sajam and James.

Didn't he play in a SFV tourney?

James and Sajam are doing SFV on twitch. I think they want to avoid anyone doing double duty on finals day.

^ ah ok

[IronLich]

Yeah, Sonicfox knows the Dvorah MU. He's watched this rerun 24 times.

 

[BassForever]

Sonic Fox is unstoppable god damn

 

[Melkezadek]

I really think people are scared enough of SonicFox where it screws up their performance. Nerves are too overwhelming.

 

[crimzonflame]

Just woke up. Is this the GF?

 

[olympia]

the kids a beast

 

[Lulubop]

Excuse me but commentators are really boring to listen to...

what should they be doing? Lol

 

[Askherserenity]

Sonic Fox Jesus!

not yet

The disappointing part of the top 8 was simply the fact it boiled down to the worst possible MU it could at an event the game is trying to appeal to new viewers: projectile heavy characters. I'll try not to spoil it for you so that's all I'll say.

 

[Fitts]

It's assigned seating and across the strip from the other venue, people will only show up for their main games

I don't see why any FGC person would choose to sit through 4 hours of smash as opposed to just enjoying Vegas

I don't give a fuck about Melee but I would still attend and watch the whole top 8 if I was there. When I go to fights (UFC, etc) I'm always there for the whole card -- early prelims and all. Even with a thinned crowd it's worth it for the atmosphere alone.

 

[Tizoc]

If tekken master loses he can still try for 3rd place right?

 

[lazybones18]

SonicFox back in Grand Finals

edit: aww, they should have showed the Fatality

 

[Altazor]

man, Sonicfox looking unstoppable

 

[Shadow_Lord]

How is Erron not widely considered to be Top 5? He has all the tools.

 

[Ricitor]

Damn Tekken Master, why must you break my heart?

 

[jett]

MKX matches end so unhype with those quits on fatality hah.

 

[Immortal Technique]

he can still win the tournament..

 

[wheeplash]

Pew peww

LMAO

 

[call_kotaku]

Because they enjoy Smash? What a weird thought

Jesus. I know opinions and all man but good god can you not let it cloud you? Or, heaven forbid, make terribly uninformed comments like this? Tons of people who actually go to these events watch all the games. Lots of FGC folks watch Smash in-person because hey, guess what, they enjoy it not just because of the game but because of the players.

Hate posts like this.

I suppose we'll see but I'm expecting lots of empty seats for every game (even SFV), since it's the norm at most esports events. I'm not trying to diss smash, it's just unlikely for people to stick around for an entire 12+ hour marathon in the middle of Vegas, especially once their games finish.

 

[RecRoulette]

FATALITY

 

[BassForever]

I'm not a big fan of the commentators either but boring is the last thing I'd call them since the one guy makes tons of bizarre comments about sucking out jelly from donuts and breakfast.

Just because SF makes him look godlike doesn't mean he actually is lol.

 

[Baleoce]

That's got to be a bit tedious for him. I'm guessing he's doing this because there's nobody else. Pretty sure he'd prefer to be commentating SFV. I know it's usually Seth at EVO, but still.

 

[Quenk]

He can go for 1st still. He's in the loser's bracket now

 

[Eidan]

Goddamn SonicFox. The kid is just a fucking monster.

 

[BkMogul]

Wow, I didn't realize they were in an actual arena. Tonight should be jam-packed and a thing to behold.

 

[VariantX]

Didn't he play in a SFV tourney?

He played stuttering craig in SFV in some editor's tourney I think.

 

[shaowebb]

Sonicfox looking good out there. I hope to see him vs Michaelangelo.
