[QisTopTier]

The lens flare.

Tasty Steve doing the ESPN intro.

 

[ScribbleD]

People in this thread complaining about Abigail are weird. Meanwhile I'm surrounded by folks here hype for him.

 

[BitStyle]

Smash 4 payouts are hella poverty considering how many people entered lol :

1st Salem : $9,048
2nd ZeRo : $3,016
3rd Larry Lurr : $1,508
4th Tweek : $603.20
5th Nairo : $301.60
5th KEN : $301.60
7th VoiD : $150.80
7th Dabuz : $150.80

Nintendo sleeping on the competitive gaming scene. It's pretty sad.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

A well-known character from a well-known game that half the thread is apparently too young to have played.

Seriously? I don't think Geese Howard is well known outside of the FGC. Nobody gives a shit about Abigail and his look isn't going to convince anybody to do so.

 

[Hazzuh]

Smash making SFV late 😭😭😭

 

[firehawk12]

Is there some sportsball game on ESPN that's causing the delay? Blergh.

 

[ZangBa]

the fuck? none of ya'll played Final Fight?

I guess I'm old.

No, Final Fight sucks. I played Streets of Rage.

 

[Wallach]

Thought that was supposed to be Abobo at first. Remember that guy?

yeah, that's double dragon though

poor abobo with his fucked up face

 

[gunstarhero]

Abigail's critical might be the funniest in the game

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Tasty Steve made it to the big time!

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

I'm not really into Smash but just watched the grand finals, pretty fresh stuff.

Abigail looks terrible, smh. Should have brought in Damnd.

[NoctisVsStar]

If people associate Cody and Guy with SFA and not FF.. Some of us are old lol I'm 29 btw.

 

[Nabs]

Seth Killian and Tasty Steve on the ESPN mic. I'll be watching this over Chen and Sajam if there's no major delay.

 

[Neonep]

I do enjoy being right.

 

[Trey]

What's top 8?

 

[Dubz]

Is ESPN pissed this ain't starting on time? I don't have ESPN, so maybe heir doing some kind of intro. Get this shit started, EVO.

 

[Nemesis121]

[enzo_gt]

[SargerusBR]

Yooo what did i missed? Or it hasn't started yet?

 

[skLaFarebear]

tfw when skill unironically uses the word heel on ESPN

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

The ESPN Feed is pushing the American angle hard.

 

[LiK]

man, no cable here for Seth.

 

[Village]

I mean, i'm young enough that if I wasn't into reasrching and going back to play old games, I would associate sf with them too.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

No Futuregootecks

 

[Tekniqs]

LI Joe!

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Is ESPN pissed this ain't starting on time? I don't have ESPN, so maybe heir doing some kind of intro. Get this shot started, EVO.

It already started with ESPN/disney (they have the same feed)

Haha they brought back Li joe

 

[DrDogg]

Both Seth and Steve seem a bit nervous. Can't blame them. I'm sure they'll warm up once matches get started.

 

[Josh5890]

Wasnt the stadium more packed last year?

 

[Nabs]

No Futuregootecks

He couldn't be playing the same role as last year.

edit: Yep. He's doing the interviews.

 

[Carlius]

espn 2 baby..we did it again

 

[pooptest]

Disney XD stream is fine.

Tasty / Seth

 

[HardRojo]

So that's why I haven't heard Tasty Steve on commentary. Love him on the mic, dude's great! Who are we getting on the poverty Twitch stream?

 

[crimzonflame]

the fuck? none of ya'll played Final Fight?

I guess I'm old.

I remember Final Fight. The main characters were Haggar, Cody, and Guy...

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

They aren't getting started on time due to the NBA Summer League Game running late.

 

[pizzacat]

[EndlessSky]

Yeah, in general I think someone said attendance overall is down something like 50% this year. SFV took the biggest hit in attendance iirc. A combination of EVO ticket prices increasing a huge amount, and that last year was a crazy outlier in attendance.

 

[GeoNeo]

Wasnt the stadium more packed last year?

Was more packed last year.

 

[redmetal86]

Damn, Gootecks' suit.

 

[racketpunch]

Seth on cable?! Damn

 

[Exile20]

Smash 4 Top 8 on ESPN with D1 and Vikki on the mics

http://www.espn.com/watch/player?id=3122091

 

[purg3]

wait is this still going to be streamed on twitch?

 

[trixx]

Also just seen Abigail trailer.. hahaha wtf

 

[mas8705]

Given akuma looks diferent
Ed looks different
And Now Abigail looks different don't take story mode models or online art seriously untill you see the character in game

Akuma got a new hairstyle and Ed got a bit older.

Don't really know how you go from a guy with a leopard shirt and chain to a giant monstrosity who wears tires are sweatbands. /sarcasm

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I remember Final Fight. The main characters were Haggar, Cody, and Guy...

He's a random goon that's the issue, Lucia would've been a better choice.

 

[Neonep]

Yeah, quite trash.
