Has Infultration being so unbeatably ruined competitive SFV as far as character variety? The announcers mentioned people called Nash the best character after seeing Infultration also Joe said he studies him?

i dunno, infiltration was even more dominant in Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition 2012 with Akuma and no one was picking up Akuma then

 

[udivision]

He was in earlier matches way way earlier. Ibuki and Balrog were both legal for this.

All the DLC chars are legal. None of the top 8 use them iirc.

Oh, okay thanks. I kinda wanna see him...

 

[Dark Ninja]

Wow looking at the Twitch numbers, Melee is going to have more viewers than Street Fighter V.

That's gotta be the ESPN 2 effect, right?

Why would you watch the inferior Twitch version

 

[Slowdive]

nvm

 

[Hugstable]

So why have they been using this stage

Special EVO stage.

Plus it has a bear cheering you on

 

[Domstercool]

So why have they been using this stage

Look what it says around the banners of it. It's the official stage of the tournament finals.

 

[lazybones18]

Boooooo

 

[Qvoth]

nash and chun are undeniable top 2 characters atm, they must get nerfed
just buff the characters at the bottom, the other A-A+ characters can stay the way it is and it should be perfect

 

[Tripon]

190k. Lol, people didn't like MOV vs Go1

 

[Inmolatus]

6 am here in EU, damn all these mirror matches are getting tiresome.

Infil is our only hope after Joe got eliminated.

 

[Neoxon]

Wow looking at the Twitch numbers, Melee is going to have more viewers than Street Fighter V.

That's gotta be the ESPN 2 effect, right?

Yeah, a good chunk of the viewers went to ESPN 2.

 

[Kid Ska]

So why have they been using this stage

Because its special evo dlc for ps4 by capcom and it costs TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS

 

[Ultimadrago]

What do they mean by main character?

Bald Space Marine

 

[Avallon]

Why would you watch the inferior Twitch version

I don't have cable.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Wow looking at the Twitch numbers, Melee is going to have more viewers than Street Fighter V.

That's gotta be the ESPN 2 effect, right?

Yes and multiple streams on twitch.

 

[SSReborn]

They need to nerf this wack ass character. Get er outta hea!!!


She's BORING TO WATCH.


"SPINNINGU BOD KYAKKU" "KOKEN!" "BLAHBLAH" SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET DIS NERF

Are you mad???

 

[Matsukaze]

Adios, MOV.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

[Exr]

Zzzzz

 

[Xeteh]

nash and chun are undeniable top 2 characters atm, they must get nerfed
just buff the characters at the bottom, the other A-A+ characters can stay the way it is and it should be perfect

Chun-Li has barely placed in tournaments until Evo. The only consistent Nash has been Infiltration.

 

[Talon]

lmao Tekken ad.

 

[RedEther]

GO1 pls win it all your the last chun left

 

[Gren]

I wonder if anyone none the wiser thinks the crowd noise from the stage is real-life banter.

It's thrown me off a few times, lol.

 

[Tripon]

nash and chun are undeniable top 2 characters atm, they must get nerfed

Yes, give my Ryu buffs.

 

[rec0ded1]

Sam jack is yelling at me

That's gotta be the ESPN 2 effect, right?

Twitch audio feed is garbage compared to what's on espn.

 

[wamberz1]

Oh, okay thanks. I kinda wanna see him...

Watch PR balrogs match against bonchan, it was fucking crazy

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Bald Space Marine

ok that was good

 

[Finaika]

Because its special evo dlc for ps4 by capcom and it costs TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS

wat

capgod pls

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Bald Space Marine

Hahahahahahahaha

 

[Platinum Mad]

They should have saved the stage for Grand Finals. I'm sick of looking at it.

 

[Secret Character]

Finals need more Laura

Get out.

 

[SolarPowered]

Can you blame them? The one reason for American casuals to watch just got eliminated. Hell, even my own mother called and said she was going to bed after Joe lost. No one wants to watch foreigners play.

I'm embarrassed by this as an American. I didn't even like SF4, but I'd watch for the OP international competition. This ain't a Rocky movie lol.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

They need to nerf this wack ass character. Get er outta hea!!!

I miss Joe... :c

He lost to a Nash

 

[Dubz]

$3500 for 5th place? Where's all that TV money going? There were 5000 entrants....lol

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Wow looking at the Twitch numbers, Melee is going to have more viewers than Street Fighter V.

That's gotta be the ESPN 2 effect, right?

Duh.

 

[Line_HTX]

So sad that Joe is gone.

Job well done. How much money in bits did he make?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Get out.

Lol is Laura not liked? I'll exit stage left....

Go R Mika than

 

[jwhit28]

Too bad they couldn't save the Tokido vs Infiltration storyline for EVO. Infiltration is such a cool guy though that I never feel like "man, he won again". The crowds usually like cheering him.

 

[Moaradin]

nash and chun are undeniable top 2 characters atm, they must get nerfed

Pretty widely considered that Ryu is the best character in the game. Chun and Nash are definitely top 5 though.

 

[Requeim]

They should have saved the stage for Grand Finals. I'm sick of looking at it.

It is much better than training stage, trust me

 

[Tankard]

Wow looking at the Twitch numbers, Melee is going to have more viewers than Street Fighter V.

Don't forget Europe was lost.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

Chun li has barely placed in tournaments and Infiltration is pretty much the only consistent Nash.
If anyone gets nerfed, It'll be Ryu. He's very easily the best in the game.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Finals need more Laura

i don't disagree

 

[LiK]

Because its special evo dlc for ps4 by capcom and it costs TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS

$10 for the stage itself.

[salty_Josh]

These tekken adds. After Hirada and Ono were together on stage

 

[Avallon]

Yes and multiple streams on twitch.

Twitch numbers are split between two streams as well

I was comparing total SF viewership to total Melee viewership on Twitch, actually. It was 220,000 for Melee, currently 197,000 for SFV.

 

[Alucrid]

Chun-Li has barely placed in tournaments until Evo. The only consistent Nash has been Infiltration.

R Mika needs a projectile

 

[VariantX]

I think its more that they were focusing on him so much and interviewing him multiple times

This. There's 8 people playing, but no one else gets interviewed but Joe nor do they go into their backstory of why they're here. Of course it's probably because the others can't speak English well enough for network TV and need translators too.
