Mind linking the tweet? What's this about?

https://twitter.com/MrWiz/status/886420453195108352

basically, HBox broke EVO ruleset by having Crunch coach him during his game with SFAT

he was issued a yellow card but not DQ'd on the grounds that "SFAT got coached too" except the fact that G-money didn't coach SFAT at all and was clearly mocking Crunch's run onstage after the previous game.

Likely nothing else comes of this. Hilarious as far as the ignorance involved goes though...

 

[mreddie]

I will still argue that this is the most balanced NRS game to date but GODDAMN their failure to make Aquaman a fair character is embarrassing.

Red Hood
Aquaman
Superman
Black Adam
Atrocitus
Flash
Catwoman

Honestly it was a fairly diverse top 8.

Yep and I thought Hood was cheaper than Aquaman.

 

[enzo_gt]

LOL he's frustrated by the pop off

 

[roflwaffles]

Yo Prodigy played clean as hell right there.

 

[RecRoulette]

LMAO

I guess G$ trolling just cost SFAT a DQ victory

Hahahaha holee shit. That's a hell of a thing.

 

[patchday]

Yeah pretty much this. Flash makes one mistake he gets punished ANYWHERE on the screen, leading into a high damage combo. If Aquaman fails to punish that mistake with his own mistake, he just pops the trait that refills faster than his opponents and drops himself out of the combo. B123 D1 MB Trident Rush is a ridiculous blockstring and even when guarded, still chips a dumb amount of health away. Honeybee did look free as fuck in the end there though which was heartbreaking. I wish we could see the button log for dragon:

DfDf11r21Df11r2Df1

Probably would have looked something like that.

I don't know how anyone could have watched this tournament in full like I have and say Dragon and Honeybee are on par with each other. Honeybees biggest downfall was attempting to mirror him despite not playing Aquaman AT ALL today. Overall, Dragon did indeed make the better decision by picking the most broken character in the game. That's not opinion, the proof is in the frame data lol.

LOL! Fully agree btw

Agree'd!! I really enjoyed watching this tournament.

 

[Unlucky]

UMvC3 top 8 winners

ChrisG
Joey D
Prodigy
winner of RyanLV vs Terry Bogard

 

[Josh5890]

All these great melee songs with no chance of the stages they represent being represented here.

I know. That kills me inside

Multi man pop off lol.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Aquaman next year

I honestly think a Spongebob fighter would be pretty damn popular. At least for one year anyway.

That's a pretty big fail on EVO's part. It's clear only one player violated the rules.

 

[Arcana Wiz]

Better Arakune than Azrael.

I began to watch the stream 1 or 2 hours ago, i didnt see much Azrael yet... I think

But i think my biggest problem is that i stopped playing BB on CS extend, so i dont have any bad experiemces with the new characters

If the chat is correct, the current top tier is Izanami, Azrael and Arakune?

And it seems that the ragna players really dropped since then.

Also that animation is super bland too so looking at it all match gets boring

Melee top 8 starting! WITH Prog on the mic!

 

[Velcro Fly]

As if people needed more of a reason to root against HBox

 

[Revven]

Melee Top 8s is a go!!

 

[Neoxon]

Welcome back Prog, we missed you.

 

[Immortal Technique]

LMAO

I guess G$ trolling just cost SFAT a DQ victory

That's the story they're telling now, but I don't believe it. HBox wasn't getting DQed any way, any how.

Oh I agree IJ2 was hype.

 

[CommandThrower]

So, Injustice 2 finals was an Aquaman mirror?


Something tells me it won't be at EVO next year.

can Arc make it?

ROFL What the fuck at that Smash drama.

Evo fucking up so hard this year.

I know what Top 8 I'm skipping tomorrow. Embarrassing that an open racist continues to be sponsored and featured predominately in tournaments.

Anyone, i mean ANYONE but FraudG please!

 

[bryt]

LMAO

Does that mean someone can just randomly rush the stage and "coach" hbox now to get him DQ'd?

 

[MotionBlue]

You all hating aquaman and i'm here hating arakune on BB stream.

I dont really know advanced stuff, but when >50% of the matchs involve a certain character in a 30+ rooster, things can get boring

How i chose the one i root for

Any player against Arakune
Any player who uses an unusual pick

Arakune and Grant are the only reason Japan isn't dominating the top 8.

 

[Mass Effect]

ROFL What the fuck at that Smash drama.

Drama and issues everywhere this year it seems

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

I'm gonna miss Marvel 3. Literally the best Capcom fighting game released in the last 15 years.

 

[Wallach]

But it's not like SFAT could have done anything about G-Money running up on stage though? So he didn't really break any rules.

I'm not sure that's any different on the other end, it didn't look like Hungrybox called the other guy up.

I feel like they may have done the right thing here. Unfortunately both SFAT and G-money were clearly exchanging words, whether they were being "serious" or not without them being mic'd I'm not sure you want to make a subjective call.

 

[JAXXX]

Bum boys( house of chaos /crack ) got another one. RayRay,Coach Steve, now Prodigy
Congrats...top 8 at EVO

 

[hydragonwarrior]

can Arc make it?

LOL nooo, let's use the Injustice engine! I would laugh so hard at the animations

 

[Lucumo]

The worst casters for this, great...

They will bend over backwards to find ways not to DQ notable pro players. This will continue for as long as the FGC is the FGC.

 

[SDBurton]

So, Injustice 2 finals was an Aquaman mirror?

Initially it was, then Honeybee switched to Flash.

Easily.

<3 MVC3.

Something tells me it won't be at EVO next year.

It will stay, it's ESPORTS friendly. If anything, Melee will get axed for DBZ

HBee went Aqua for two games then switched to Flash and almost brought it back.

And Injustice is gonna be here next year.

I can see one of the Smash games getting axed.

 

[Envelope]

oh boy more arakune ResidentSleeper

yep

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

DBZ will take out an arc sys fighter

 

[Lucumo]

I'm not sure that's any different on the other end, it didn't look like Hungrybox called the other guy up.

Not entirely sure I remember correctly but HBox looked back after the first game which could count as calling someone up...dunno.

 

[roflwaffles]

Storytime?

 

[mreddie]

I tried Blazblue Shift. it was too much even for me, sold that back 2 months later.

 

[thepotatoman]

Damn, all 4 of the melee gods are in the winners semis. Will anything mix that up?

 

[SargerusBR]

DBZ will take out an arc sys fighter

DBZ is either taking BB or KOF spot.

 

[Professor Beef]

Anyone, i mean ANYONE but FraudG please!

i tore up my chrisg stan card, but i don't think i could stop the tears if chrisg won 2 years in a row

 

[mreddie]

DBZ will take out an arc sys fighter

BB or GG?

The not recent one?

DBZ is either taking BB or KOF spot.

KOF? Nope, if it gets more support, it'll stay.

 

[Korigama]

On the bright side for BB, another entertaining match from that Mai player (Jona, IIRC) I saw play earlier.

 

[Arcana Wiz]

Arakune and Grant are the only reason Japan isn't dominating the top 8.

Like i said before i stopped playing BB on the second game, so i maybe have some anti-Arakune bias

Buut to be fair, i'm not american so i cant share some of Gaf exciment for USA players
