Like I said....

• It's not like Nintendo would go along with Melee being aired on TV.
• The Smash 4 scene was kinda screwed over last year.

Also, read the thread title ("No Game Whining").

Anyway, Twitch isn't working for whatever reason. Thankfully, Disney XD is going just fine.

Don't bother try in to reason with them. Just enjoy Smash like I am

 

[Chauzu]

Uhm yes, it is:

Smash 4 will end way earlier than that, unless this is the longest Smash 4 top 8 this year. Despite it being mostly Bo3.

 

[Neoxon]

Who is commentating in Disney XD? EE and TK?...

D1's one of the announcers on Disney XD.

 

[TheChits]

Bayonetta is one of the coolest characters to grace video games.

Absolutely

 

[Firemind]

180% on fox

goddamn smash 4 is stupid

 

[RecRoulette]

So they put the unpopular smash on championship sunday? Brilliant...

Smash 4 had more entrants than Melee this year.

 

[EmiPrime]

Bayonetta vs Fox is such a great matchup.

 

[Blackquill]

Uhm yes, it is:

Did you read the last pages ? And did you realize this is 2 stock, BO3 ? No way it'll last 4 hours

 

[Rice-Eater]

Smash Wii U gets far lower viewership than Melee on the regular so who knows.

Their is definitely some truth to that. SFV never got that close to Melee last year. I think Melee got to 230k or so where as SFV peaked at 190k I think. But that was with a peak of 201k watching on ESPN. I'm sure plenty of people who only watched the TV broadcast would have watched the stream if they had no choice.

With the broadcast being split in two there is no way we'll truly know how good the numbers are going to be for Smash 4 or SFV. Just an estimate at best.

 

[Crocodile]

Twitch hasn't been working for me for like the past half hour :/

I had to see all the post Tekken announcements on twitter

 

[Chauzu]

I love melee tournaments, but it's nice to see more character variety in the Switch tournaments.

Wii U actually but yeah, char variety is one of the big strengths of Smash 4. This top 8 has 8 unique chars!

 

[SargerusBR]

I can't open Twitch on anything

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Uhm yes, it is:

It's scheduled that long because like every single year, before the main event , they have announcements and community awards an such. And Ono gets on stage and says stuff.

 

[Codeblue]

So I'm watching evo on ESPN and they introduced this first player...

Wife: "when do you think was the last time, if at all, had sex?"

She's fucking vicious 🤣

The originality is stunning. You married Jay Leno.

 

[bryt]

Damn, lots of empty seats still

 

[jman2050]

Salem blew it hard.

 

[Gnome]

So they put the unpopular smash on championship sunday? Brilliant...

It's going to be on TV. You would have to convince Nintendo they can sell more copies of Melee by showing it on TV, and that's not going to happen.

 

[Neoxon]

SALEM, NOOOOO!!!!!

 

[HoodWinked]

RIP twitch

 

[SteveO409]

Conspiracy that Twitch is trying to sabotage Smash 4 viewer count so it wont be at EVO next year!

 

[Mass Effect]

Why did he just SD like that?

 

[Aaronrules380]

Smash 4 had more entrants than Melee this year.

It has more entrants than Melee every year

 

[Alucrid]

twitch still down for me. anyone have a working link?

 

[EmiPrime]

Not like this Salem...

 

[Ōkami]

Have the finals of Marvel been archived?

It was too early for me to watch live.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Twitch went nuts but went back to normal after refreshing

Uhm yes, it is:

It's a buffer. Also, don't know if SFV is on TV again, which would mean timeslots are predetermined.

 

[Lulubop]

twitch still down for me. anyone have a working link?

seems down unless you already had it open

 

[Oidisco]

Why did he just SD like that?

He had used up his jumps

 

[Zyrox]

Unfortunate SD there. Hopefully Salem can pull it together. Bayo winning Smash 4 would be beautiful

Twitch is still fucked up for me.

 

[SDBurton]

I was lazy and stuck to multitwitch, haven't been having issues there.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Have the finals of Marvel been archived?

It was too early for me to watch live.

I mean you can just access the video archive on twitch to get all of the finals stream today. You don't even really need to fiddle around with timestamps since Marvel was first

thanks

 

[Hazzuh]

Zero vs Larry should be a good WFs

 

[Gorillaz]

Nintendo is going to put it's more modern foot forward in terms of TV deals

Melee looks tragic in some scenes. If your going to try to legitimize it do it with the smash that looks cleaner on tv.

 

[Neoxon]

Dammit, Salem

 

[mamoniadas]

smash x switch wont happen without gc controller support, whats your move nintendo?

 

[Kalor]

That was way better than the first match.

 

[mas8705]

thanks

Happy to be of assistance. Honestly I hope that others share this link too until Twitch gets back up and going.

Bet people are going to use the technical issue to say "Melee had more viewers! see how Smash 4 dropped when it started?!"

Edit: Chat in twitch be like "NINTENDO SHILLING! D:"

 

[Baleoce]

What was the name of that Smash clone for Steam that they showed again? (unless I'm imagining it, or it was a tailored advert lol). Can't see a thread for it.

 

[phanphare]

smash x switch wont happen without gc controller support, whats your move nintendo?

there are enough usb ports on Switch to utilize the gcn controller adapter

 

[JoeInky]

Smash bros. for the nintendo

 

[Codeblue]

What's with the howling?

What does this even mean?

 

[Farsi]

LARRY LEGEND

 

[Dyle]

🤔 Is 🤔 it 🤔 Really 🤔 EVO 🤔 if 🤔 it 🤔 doesn't 🤔 have 🤔 ARMS? 🤔

Icons: Combat Arena

 

[Kalor]

Someone started it earlier and it's been going all day.

 

[Chauzu]

Zero vs Larry should be a good WFs

Larry has one of the best records vs ZeRo, and there was a point in time where they basically traded sets. ZeRo also got to game 5 vs a lesser Fox at a tourney last week, so I hope it'll be a great game. Larry Lurr has been playing great all weekend.
