Support NeoGAF

[Bluewind098]

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.

It's funny you say that because in the finals at one point Tonosama a Braxien player did a combo to take like 20 percent and he had to sacrifice his support. Whereas Buntan a Suicune player did one move and that did about the same amount of damage.

 

[Sayad]

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

He's guaranteed at least third place, he can still win it all.

 

[BassForever]

He can go for 2nd still since he's in loser's bracket. Nobody is beating SonicFox

FTFY

 

[LiK]

SonicFox is too strong. kid is gonna take it again this year.

 

[Immortal Technique]

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.

I think he's doing it because he likes MKX.

He loves MK, he never commentates SF Top 8 because he prefers to be in the crowd.

 

[Tizoc]

he can still win the tournament..

>_< good luck bro&#9996;&#127999;

 

[DZ_b_EZ]

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

WHAT??! Lord Aris has the BEST commentary next to Seth Killian. Especially when they BOTH commentate together!!

I woke up FOR Aris lol

 

[Quenk]

FTFY

I originally put he could go for 2nd. I should have kept it. SonicFox is just so good.

 

[BadWolf]

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

Tbh it seems to be more an issue with the game/play, they seem to be trying their hardest to hype something that doesn't at all look exciting.

 

[SDBurton]

I remember when we first saw him in MK9. We were all like "man.. this little kid is good, he's gonna be a beast if he keeps this up as he gets older."

Now here we are, and guy is basically the King of Kings of MKX.

 

[Baleoce]

I think he's doing it because he likes MKX.

Yeah, I didn't mean any disrespect to MKX. I just meant for him personally. But if that's the case that's completely fair enough.

He loves MK, he never commentates SF Top 8 because he prefers to be in the crowd.

Aaah, now you mention it I do recall him saying something along those lines before.

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

In house commentary so ultra trash here :/

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

They need to pipe in some WWE crowd sounds for the MK finals

 

[Foggy]

MEGA awkward

 

[M_A_C]

Wow they got some sound during the intros at least.

 

[Ricitor]

Seriously, someone get the Sound guy some coffee cause he is hungover, or more likely still drunk.

 

[Menitta]

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.

Oh man. Suicune and Chandelure I'd imagine. Watching a Chandelure match is just as annoying as playing against one.

 

[Revven]

You're close buuuut I'll just let you watch it and not spoil it lol.

 

[Mugy]

exactly my point. Im not saying commentanting on Fighting games its bad, but they do sound boring in my ears while the players are playing MKX

 

[jett]

To be fair it sounds like they have a crowd mic separate from the casters

They still need to fix it.

 

[LiK]

they should fix the audience audio before GF or this is gonna be some anticlimactic shit.

 

[lazybones18]

I bring death

 

[Baleoce]

Presumably the in-house commentators voices are being projected into the arena? Would that create feedback issues? Not sure how you'd go about managing that.

Injustice too.
The 13-0 should stand as some type of tutorial how to not talk shit after getting rekt 10-0.

This is a good match, I think that if Scar loses this, he'll pick Smoke.

that 13-0 was one of the best things I have ever seen on a twitch stream.

 

[Askherserenity]

Best match so far!

 

[SDBurton]

Scar's Sonya... my god!!

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Go Sonya

 

[lazybones18]

it's over Jarek. Shinnok is dead ;_;

 

[Immortal Technique]

Scar. save us from Sonic Fox!

 

[Indignate]

Moms.

 

[TheChits]

Scar <3

 

[FTF]

That was a damn impressive Sonya

 

[wheeplash]

I can't hear the audience ...

 

[Xater]

Evo attendees sleep long. Wonder when this arena will start to look full.

 

[Boombloxer]

Nades yo.

And down goes Shinnok.

Scar. save us from Sonic Fox!

They played each other at CEO. Sonic came back against Demo Sonya, and Scar switched characters twice in GF, got rekt. He's really good, but the gap is pretty large when SF is on point...and it looks like he is, bunch of 3-0s.

This Ermac and Takeda matchup is like watching a Jedi vs Sith fight.

 

[jett]

So who made the Mandalay/ESPN happen? Mr Wizard all by his lonesome, or did Sony pony up the goods and the connections?

 

[olympia]

big d!

 

[El Sloth]

In house commentary so ultra trash here :/

Is it just super warbly inside the arena?

 

[LiK]

So who made the Mandalay/ESPN happen? Mr Wizard all by his lonesome, or did Sony pony up the goods and the connections?

i'm guessing the latter.

 

[M_A_C]

Steve and his white skinny jeans... Yikes.

 

[Xater]

ESPN has been doing eSports for a while. Wouldn't even be surprised if they approached the Evo people.

it was thanks to the playstation 4. the console of choice for street fighter v and sponsor of the capcom pro tour

 

[Eleuin]

Well.. I wouldn't say "never". Everyone had Daigo/Justin at EVO 2009 and Momochi was the odds on favorite last year. Nobody was too surprised that Gamerbee was his opponent.

yeah never was a big exaggeration, more often than not the top 2 don't make it

happy we have at least one american in sfv top8, go joe

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I'm sure things will pick up later, but considering the new venue, I'm pretty underwhelmed by the presentation/production. I figured there would be more fanfare, more in the way of player intros and whatnot. The tiny spectator crowd just adds to that.

 

[sixteen-bit]

the choice of 8 frames

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I like this stage

 

[Revven]

Evo attendees sleep long. Wonder when this arena will start to look full.

I mean, even previous years (in the smaller venues) the 8 AM game didn't really have filled seats either. I wouldn't really worry too much about it.

The Cannons have Riot money now.
