I hope the ghost of Marvel 2 makes an appearance this year.

 

[Lucumo]

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

Won't happen, unless they don't care about the viewers. It had the most last year and the second most this year in the semis (finals don't count as it will of course have the most today).

 

[Maple-Tech]

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

They're not getting rid of a game that has had high entry numbers for years

 

[MrDaravon]

The two Smash games draw way too many entrants with minimal overlap (aka lots of money) for one to get dropped short of some sort of extreme external factor like Nintendo not allowing Melee or something super extreme.

 

[sinkfla87]

So, Injustice 2 finals was an Aquaman mirror?


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

You know who won't be at Evo next year?
AQUAMAN

I do think it's funny though that when the game first came out everyone said Deadshot was broken and needed to be patched. Deadshot ain't got shit on forkman.

 

[MotionBlue]

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

I'm agreeing with you. Arakune is boring to watch, and the crowd feels the same way.

 

[StriKeVillain]

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

The other competitors had nothing to do with what Chris G did. That's like boycotting an entire NFL season because some scumbag did something heinous.

I'll be tuning in to support those other competitors and the hard work they put in. I hope Prodigy continues to kick some ass.

 

[bryt]

WTF is up with BB lol. Every time I tune in there's an Arakune.

 

[robot]

I'm amazed both Smash games get so many entrants with such awful pots.

You'd think Nintendo would throw a few bucks in there or something, especially for Smash Wii U.

 

[mreddie]

I'm kinda wonder what game has drawn the LEAST viewers. If it's KOF, fuck the world.

 

[ChamplooJones]

Arakune mirror? For real?

 

[Korigama]

An Arakune mirror...not sure whether to laugh or cry.

 

[Cody_D165]

jesus the top8 stream for Melee looks awful lol

someone should fix the color settings =/

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I'm kinda wonder what game has drawn the LEAST viewers. If it's KOF, fuck the world.

My guess is it's between KOF and BB.

 

[Lucumo]

I'm amazed both Smash games get so many entrants with such awful pots.

In Melee, it's not about the money. It's about the game.

Also, when will they fix the colors? I hope it won't stay like this for the whole finals.

 

[Neoxon]

DBZ will take out an arc sys fighter

Yeah, DBFZ is probably gonna replace BlazBlue next year.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Arakune mirrors. I love it.

 

[Kadey]

Ohhhhhhhh. Too much food.

Let's go Mango. Become the first triple.

 

[BadWolf]

I'm kinda wonder what game has drawn the LEAST viewers. If it's KOF, fuck the world.

Late time slot on a Friday? Hardly surprising.

Still, over 32K viewers for KOF isn't too bad.

 

[Professor Beef]

I'm kinda wonder what game has drawn the LEAST viewers. If it's KOF, fuck the world.

That one year was an anomaly, to be fair. I'd say it's either KOF or Killer Instinct.

 

[ChamplooJones]

My guess is it's between KOF and BB.

Honestly now that I though about it. One or both of these games will not be a main game next year.

Damn shame really.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Arukune finally lost... to Arukune. Lul

 

[Maple-Tech]

I'm kinda wonder what game has drawn the LEAST viewers. If it's KOF, fuck the world.

It probably is, though I think its due to being on a Friday night

 

[FireBeaver]

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

Just to correct you, there are 5 gods. The 5th god PPMD has been inactive for some time, and Leffen (the "God slayer") was upset and placed 9th.

Also it's pretty typical that the gods make it to winners semis.

 

[Mass Effect]

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.

Yeah, I don't think it's that much of an issue to be honest, especially since SFAT is still in.

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.

Makes me wonder what would have happened if it was the other way around... (SFAT getting real coaching while HBox & friend making fun of him)

The worst casters for this, great...

Yeah... I was hoping Prog was going to commentate (with someone like D1 or TK). Toph is alright, but I really can't stand Scar's commentary.

I thought PPMD was at Evo? I swear I saw him play

 

[patchday]

Yeah that was an Arakune mirror just now ;(

Want to see more character from BB Calamity Trigger get some playtime (since I"m currently playing through Calamity for the story)

 

[Etrian Oddity]

I want Yipes to MC my wedding

Yipes sounds pretty exhausted right now lol

 

[mreddie]

That one year was an anomaly, to be fair. I'd say it's either KOF or Killer Instinct.

Wasn't KI a main game for one year post release and they dropped it?

Yipes sounds pretty exhausted right now lol

He did double duty this year.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Honestly now that I though about it. One or both of these games will not be a main game next year.

Damn shame really.

I think BB is at evo this year to advertise to the Evo Japan audience.

 

[Lucumo]

Yeah... I was hoping Prog was going to commentate (with someone like D1 or TK). Toph is alright, but I really can't stand Scar's commentary.

Would have loved Prog + D1.

 

[thoseAREmySHOES]

I've always loved Scar and Toph's rambling commentary, I didn't realize they were despised :/

 

[SixMachine]

You know what's funny, Izanami, Izayoi, and Carl are generally considered stronger than Arakane (at least last time I checked and read up on it). Also Nine and Rachel are up there. Arakune's weakness is that he uses his OD offensively, so he can be screwed on defense, has low health, and awkward movement. But once he gets the party started, he invites 50000000 friends to the party. Which generally isn't fun to play against and watch.

Storytime?

[Parallax Scroll]

RyanLV is too good

 

[Dahbomb]

RyanLV and ChrisG made it into top 8 winners with the greatest of ease. As expected to be honest.

 

[LiK]

Wasn't KI a main game for one year post release and they dropped it?




He did double duty this year.

I thought KI was 2 years? Or was one of them just an exhibition match?

 

[Wallach]

Damn, RyanLV took that guy's soul with him.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

When is the WNF and NLBC bar fight happening?

 

[Rorschach]

RyanLV is ridiculous.

 

[patchday]

I reckon DBZ will overthrow BB but just a guess

 

[FireBeaver]

Yeah, I don't think it's that much of an issue to be honest, especially since SFAT is still in.

PPMD hasn't competed at a singles tournament since March 2016.

 

[Arcana Wiz]

I'm agreeing with you. Arakune is boring to watch, and the crowd feels the same way.

Oh i undertand what did you mean now
Yeah, it can get really old fast... I was expecting to see some big changes since CS, and when i begin to watch the stream the arakune infestation comes just like before.

 

[Zyrox]

The good news from that Arakune mirror is that one arakune had to get kicked out so that's something at least.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

I bet a lot of Melee streamers were thinking it would be happening on Sunday like last year. They're going to be so pissed.

 

[Mass Effect]

I thought KI was 2 years? Or was one of them just an exhibition match?

3 actually

 

[M_A_C]

So, Injustice 2 finals was an Aquaman mirror?


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

Obviously you didn't watch it and are trolling. Once Honeybee switched to Flash it was very exciting.

 

[ChamplooJones]

I think BB is at evo this year to advertise to the Evo Japan audience.

Is BB bigger than GG over there or are they about the same?

 

[Kadey]

Ryan LV has home court advantage. Go to EVO and go home whenever. Hard to see him lose.

 

[mreddie]

I thought KI was 2 years? Or was one of them just an exhibition match?

Checked

2014-16

Likely dropped to make way for GG

 

[secretanchitman]

RyanLV is too good

Seriously. This is the first time I've seen him play and his team is on point. He definitely has a shot to win EVO this year.
