If the commentators could go five secs without saying "sponsored by ps4" etcs that would be great. What do you guys make of the quality of sfv matches thus far? Maybe the amount of entrants means that we are seeing "lower" quality matches???

 

[Xeteh]

A little bit. I can't win with him online tho

Keep at it, Necalli's personality kind of sucks but he's one of the most fun characters in the game imo.

 

[shaowebb]

Super Sonico on stream!

The cats that walk around her do all her attacks. The one that sleeps is used for supers so she can setup Ms Fortune style Head mixups, and she summons characters behind and above you like Vajra Assist in Marvel and a behind the back hitting WALLBOUNCE!

Plus those cats...they stay on the ground when she jumps meaning you have to read overhead, crossup OR A LOW ON JUMPIN!

Shit is crazy plus you can summon 2 assists at the same time in this game!

You have to tune into Nitroplus! Its nuts in here!

well it is an open tournament and there are 5000 players, but this is how pools usually are (not great quality).
Its not till after pools are done that things start to ramp up, so sometime tomorrow if I had to guess.

The entire day today for SF5 is just preliminary pools as far as I know.

 

[Hazzuh]

Ridiculous they have Melee on one of the projectors at the event considering round 1 pools of Melee are the most boring thing ever. No upsets, hours of scrubs getting bodied.

[Salty Hippo]

Sorry if this is something stupid to ask but is there a way to follow the full brackets in real time?

 

[FSLink]

Made it out of loser's in Smash. Kamemushi sent me to loser's. My brother McButt (Wario) made it out of winners.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Is it me or they took the Paul breaking the break wall from another game?

I think their decision to not put any finals on Friday is going to bite the streams in the ass. Today is basically going to be low-level play for most of the games, and then tomorrow, when several games have to grind down to the top 8 all at the same time, some games will get the short end of the stick for airtime.

Aris will be commentating the Tekken semis at 4 PST.

 

[jett]

Confirmed:

Daigo has come to EVO to play ESPORTS, not Street Fighter.

(Daigo live interview at Evo)

 

[sf2fanatic]

Poongko on now in Tekken

 

[Skab]

As long as it's not as bad as last year with melee players flooding into other games areas then that's fine

Paging LaFarebear for his French Bread fix.

I've seen MIka on one of the two streams at least 75% of the time I come back to watch.

Sorry if this is something stupid to ask but is there a way to follow the full brackets in real time?

The brackets are run on paper, so the online versions don't get updated until much later, unless things have changed this year.

Aww I wanted to see more Ibuki

 

[Rice-Eater]

I haven't been keeping up with the thread. Any good crowd shots to show just how massive the venue is and how many people are there?

 

[Hands of Stone]

Xian vs Edward Snowden.

Capcomfighters stream has a decent view of the crowd from one of their cams. UltraChen have pointed out that the venue extends further out to the side and that maybe a little less than 50% of it is visible from that camera.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol Poognko trolling. Did the U1

 

[shaowebb]

My God an insane Vermillion is guttin folks like its Marvel lvl 3 Xfactor or some shit in Melty Blood tourney right now

I think I just pooped myself watching this pressure from Half Moon style Vermillion.

For those that dont know every character in Melty Blood has 3 moveset variations called Full, Half, or Crescent Moon and each style has MAJOR changes. Means the game has something like...I dunno...90-ish movesets or something. This person is goin in with this style.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

That's some good F.A.N.G.

50%, I'd say 25%. And this place is packed.

 

[Xeteh]

Xian is awesome. He seems like a cool dude too, hoping he does well at Evo.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Xian's F.A.N.G play is so godlike

 

[HoodWinked]

fang fits xian so well. remember when he exploited gen's matchup unfamiliarity in the same way.

 

[Primus]

God damn, EVO-level Melty action at non-potato quality? I have died and gone to heaven.

EDIT: Len with the kitty KO? Fantastic.

 

[Horseress]

T7 looking sooooooooooooo good

Xian does things with FANG that no one else can. I hope he never gets frustrated with him and keeps playing him because he's one of the most entertaining players to watch.

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Just wanted to add. T7FR felt soo good to play. Cant wait for the console release.

I know right? This game is fucking AMAZING at high level play! Its like the fastest fighter I think I've ever seen and my god is its amount of movesets ridiculous. We aint talking just specials changing between character styles...normals change entirely and get replaced with all new animations and properties constantly between styles!

Such a huge game.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Pretty ass Chun-Li combo.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Charli went up in that ass!

 

[SmackAttack]

That dropped combo

 

[SargerusBR]

YO DAT COMEBACK
