Support NeoGAF

[Einchy]

Can you imagine if Elena was in SFV?

 

[RedAssedApe]

For sure. This is not fucking Rocky 4.

usa usa

 

[kewlmyc]

This ESPN2 presentation is leagues better than the Twitch one, but that should be obvious.

 

[Dark Ninja]

MOV pass the Oxygen buddy

 

[Already Torn]

So infiltration on lock to win?

Yup.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Mirror matches are the worst.

 

[skLaFarebear]

You know it's gonna be. We should all be used to this by now.
Infiltration will probably take 90% of majors until SF6.

Don't sleep on Fuudo.

As someone who hasn't watched Evo live before, are the top players in SF usually this supportive of each other?

Definitely. Though there is certainly some thuggery here and there.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Is that weird Al next to Mr Wiz?

It's Jamie Lee Curtis in a Weird Al disguise, don't blow her cover

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I feel the urge to support Joe lol great guy.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Did he not know that Urien was announced months ago? Lol

Yes, but many people were concerned about what he'd look and play like. The fact that they unveiled him by immediately showing Aegis Reflector put those fears to rest.

 

[wamberz1]

yippee, another mirror

Better to get them out of the way now so that finals isn't nash vs nash

 

[ajb1888]

lol nice, EVO has come so far.

Yeah, a group walked into the restaurant, and someone was like "is that Street Fighter?!?" haha

 

[Secret Character]

Chun mirror = yawn.

 

[HappyPuppy]

Wait Tokido is not in the finals, so it's more Nash vs Nash action :/. Hope Mika or Chun make it to the finals.

 

[pablito]

If it can't be Joe, I want Infiltration. Clean it up.

 

[tribal24]

I personally love it but that's kinda shitty to only interview one of the competitors.

Agreed that is pretty shitty. I'm wondering if the winner will even get a interview now

 

[Papercuts]

Nash mirror into chun mirror.

Mika being the only hope is a dark place to be in.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Hopefully we beat that heroes of the storm championship lol



What was last year's peak?

248k during the actual GF's. But it peaked at 254k right after it ended. I guess their was one big final rush to watch the match but those guys were a little too late.

 

[Eleuin]

To think, LI Joe could have been sponsored by Brazzers!

he does look like j mac

 

[molnizzle]

 

[WesternHeretic]

Welp I'm out. It's been fun guys!

 

[bob_arctor]

Pulling for Fuudo now, because go Mika players. <3

Hell yeah!!!

 

[ramoisdead]

I rather watch this every week than that CSGOLotto show on TBS.

 

[16BitNova]

Seriously. The idea of wanting to expose the FGC to multimedia to gain more attention, to show the good side of it, they couldn't have been luckier to get a player like Joe in the top 8.

This.

Also, who else is switching to the twitch stream near the end? You know, to watch the traditional Chen tears. Lol

 

[z3phon]

Is there a link to the ESPN stream?

 

[depths20XX]

I like the twitch bits idea after seeing the paltry sums these dudes are getting at EVO. 40k bit is $400 bucks I think?

 

[EBreda]

Why are they almost touching elbows? That's TENSE!

 

[Admiral Snackbar]

Joe, thank you for your humility, your heart and crazy story. I know we'll see you next year.

Now...MIKA'S GONNA TAKE IT!

 

[Hyun Sai]

I hope we'll not see too much salt from other USA players who wished they were on that stage and in that story. Just stay classy.

 

[Einchy]

BIKINI OUTFITS

 

[Femto.]

USA not free.

 

[Maligna]

https://twitter.com/search?q=espn+video+games&src=typd For some fun, check out this twitter search and watch the bewilderment.

 

[Tallshortman]

I think so far the tournament overall has been better than last year at the same point in terms of hype. Obviously it will be hard to beat the losers and grand finals from last year.

 

[XenoRaven]

Who do I cheer for? D:

 

[Xeteh]

Sponsor Joe pls!

I find it hard to believe that someone won't want to jump on the LI Joe hype after this.

 

[SolarPowered]

Anyone else gonna watch MOV vs GO1 with China Vox in the background? This is gonna be max 3S.

 

[RedAssedApe]

i hope they interview lijoe to see what he thinks after grand finals

 

[LiK]

James needs a break lol

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Thats what? An additional $400 on top of the winnings? Not too bad.

480 something.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Joe made more than 40k in bits.

Awesome

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Even as a gamer, I don't think I can be half as dedicated as all these guys to try to be in something as big as EVO.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

I personally love it but that's kinda shitty to only interview one of the competitors.

yeah it's pretty dumb to label yourself the world championship and expect everyone to speak english.

but that's why evo japan is an exciting prospect.

 

[Fitts]

Teasing that cop Chun hype.

 

[jett]

It's just like one of my Japanese animes

[Augemitbutter]

wow they dropped viewers hard.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Next year L.I Joe will....

CRUSH! KILL! DESTROY!

I think Daigo wants to learn Urien too

 

[140.85]

Chun mirror.

Whoever wins, we all win.

 

[galvenize]

Did he not know that Urien was announced months ago? Lol

We all knew. That was the first time we actually saw Urien in the flesh since 3s.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Some great games, but too many mirrors... and I want a some stage variety.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I wonder if Nash will get any adjustments or if they will try to buff other characters.

I think hes got too much utility for his damage. Just slightly. If chun could confirm into her super as easy as him she would be the same.
