Not to mention the fact they boo'd GG Top 8 at CEO.

Yeah, that was real bad form... Lets hope they shape up. However, judging from the recent "Smash Player Did Something Stupid" headlines, I don't think it'll change any time soon.

 

[Doomshine]

Apparently there's supposed to be a Tekken announcement tonight as well

Why Melee and not Smash 4?

dont ask. trust me it's better not to ask

i wouldn't say they boo them, there was some disrespect but the only time they boo was when the announcement that melee was delayed happend

 

[Xater]

I hope Melee takes 6h so I can wake up to SFV at 6AM.

I'm thinking about staying up but Smash will probably put me to sleep.

 

[MechaX]

Also, what if Smash runs over? I doubt ESPN's going to wait.

Smash may take awhile, but they would have to try pretty hard to run over with 3 and a half hours allotted to them.

If it does run over, well... Smash will probably get booted to offstream if that happened.

 

[peter0611]

Sin's the man of the house now.

Well, give mommy to me then!

 

[RecRoulette]

I just wanna go grab dinner, come on Atlus.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

dont ask. trust me it's better not to ask

but...

 

[Lulubop]

Why is Sin's eating so hard to punish? If Tsubaki pulled that, she'd be dead.

That'd just about sum up everything that's gone wrong with EVO this year.

CRT chant broke out when it got hauled up to the stage.

 

[Trickster]

are the smash fans seriously chanting for a crt monitor?

 

[DryEyeRelief]

the crowd is chanting crt

 

[Master Thespian]

CRT HYPE

 

[Rice-Eater]

Over 130k for GG

Nice

I saw 134k during the actual Finals match and saw it go as high as 136k a little after it finishes. Unfortunately the numbers are down all around from last year. I think MKX got to 170 or 180k last year, Marvel did about the same. Smash went a bit over 200k while USF4 went a bit over 250k.

 

[Volcynika]

I just wanna go grab dinner, come on Atlus.

Wrong company bro

 

[call_kotaku]

Viewers are way down this year.
Mortal Kombat and Marvel were way lower than their peaks last year, and Guilty Gear barely met it, despite being a midday game

LCS happening at the same time might have something to do with it, but there's definitely less energy than previous years

 

[emb]

Lol they're chanting?

Understandable, <3 CRT.

 

[kuroneko0509]

>atlus

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

so GG had 148k viewers if you combine main stream with topanga, that's pretty great.

 

[Unlucky]

Ben @ EVO &#8207;@FishStix 18s
Lmao the crowd is chanting "CRT" in unison as the tv is brought on stage #Evo2016

[LincolnTunnel]

I don't love melee, but the crowd here just exploded and started a "CRT" chant when they brought out the TV. It was pretty great.

 

[KingBroly]

LCS?

 

[OVDRobo]

Melee fans. Makes sense when you think about it.

 

[Revven]

Finals started late today and as currently we are 30 minutes late to starting the next game. SFV will be late to start, just expect it, and get your tears out now about it instead of flooding the thread with it later.

MK got way more than Marvel last year. Marvel was like in the 140s. But mk was new.

 

[Neoxon]

So 135k + 13k?

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I respect Smash & the Smash community but it's not my cup of tea. Gonna take a break but might catch Melee grand finals before SFV. Hope it's a really exciting top 8 for you guys!

wtf a mature post

It's Melee fault it's starting over 30 min late tbh

 

[Eolz]

Personally felt less hype due to the meh production values and logistics, and the sunday finals choices, but that has already been discussed to death.
Hopefully they don't repeat that next year.

edit: DIZZY

 

[LiK]

watching Melee is a bit too painful on the eyes

 

[Salty Rice]

Guess its time for Smash what also means its time for a long eat and piss break for me.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

So 135k + 13k?

yes

 

[kuroneko0509]

ishiwatari time

 

[Busaiku]

Here we go.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Oh snap, Ishiwatari on stage

 

[RecRoulette]

OH SHIT.

 

[Xeteh]

Oh, a random trailer appears.

 

[Quenk]

Yeah, that was real bad form... Lets hope they shape up. However, judging from the recent "Smash Player Did Something Stupid" headlines, I don't think it'll change any time soon.

The only booing was when the MC announced that Melee was delayed (by 1.5h IIRC). Pretty shitty but their boos weren't directed at GG.

Also, what headlines are you referring to?

 

[lazybones18]

update time

 

[mooncakes]

Dizzy time

 

[cj_iwakura]

No it won't, Melee has never gotten close to 3 hours let alone 4 the past three years.
