yeah, that's double dragon though

poor abobo with his fucked up face

Yeah I thought they were going for crossover appeal for a split second before i remembered Double Dragon is dead and Capcom sucks.

 

[Dubz]

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

This is just egregious. How much are the payouts for SFV and T7. We've got a few hundred thousand people watching, and 4th-7th get a few hundred bucks....LMAO

 

[Nemesis121]

Over 40 mins since Smash ended, and no matches yet sheeeeesh..

Man international audience getting screwed again. Am I gonna have to find some awful ass-quality ESPN2 stream again.

 

[Falchion]

I get that Zero is probably getting a lot of hate in his mentions right now, but just don't go through those right now. You don't have to delete your account......

 

[LiK]

The ESPN Feed is pushing the American angle hard.

they always need an angle for the broadcast. same thing last year.

 

[ColonialHawk]

They did the same thing last year with Joe.
It probably helps a casual audience connect to the players.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

wish I could Seth's commentary without ESPN

Man international audience getting screwed again. Am I gonna have to find some awful ass-quality ESPN2 stream again.

Why? Nothing has happened yet. Just pre-game stuff

 

[disappeared]

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

that'd be awesome

 

[enzo_gt]

FINALLY

 

[Immortal Technique]

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.

Those numbers you're talking about are for tournament entries, not arena tickets, though there would be some correlation of course.

 

[Order]

We live

 

[StriKeVillain]

They did the same thing last year with Joe.

Agreed. They're the pros.

 

[Neonep]

That SFV character looked bad. They could have used that time to make Sagat or somebody people actually wanted.

 

[SDBurton]

I'm back!

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

they always need an angle for the broadcast. same thing last year.

I know, I hate the modern sports broadcasting scheme of pushing "stories" instead of just showing the damn sports. NBC's Olympics broadcasts are awful because of it.

 

[purg3]

NVM stream just kicked in. HERE WE GO

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I hate this Evo already.

Also it's Japan.

 

[Syntsui]

Less goaaaaal!!!

 

[KZXcellent]

RA

SHI

DO

 

[DrDogg]

ESPN is behind Twitch by a good minute or so.

 

[Immortal Technique]

Yeah, quite trash.

I mean.. it's a pretty big angle, isn't it? The home country never having won the main event? Worthy of being pushed, I'd say

 

[enzo_gt]

RAA SHIIIII
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[mas8705]

That Rashido hype!

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Didn't Lupe have a song for the intro last year?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I miss the Mika shenanigans from last year

 

[sixteen-bit]

Dat Rashid theme remix

 

[Dahbomb]

LMAO Rashido hype!

 

[ChamplooJones]

People here are acting like they've never seen or heard of him before, fam. Blowing my mind.

Goddamn shame aint it.

Real talk I can't get over how bad Abigail looks. Like I understand wanting to give him a unique look but this is bad even by Street Fighter standards.

 

[TheChits]

Rashidooooo

 

[Shadow_Lord]

This remix is my jam

[JayEH]

Rashido theme on ESPN. wut.

 

[creatchee]

[mrmickfran]

RASHIDOOOOOOOO

 

[Mass Effect]

RA SHI DOOOOOOO

damn, the venue still looks empty....

I guess those price hikes really did affect attendance

 

[StriKeVillain]

Love these clips. Last Evo was so cool. This one has been kinda whack (for SFV).

 

[Gr1mLock]

Thank god no Red Rapper

 

[loli pantsu]

[Rawr Its Ry]

Lehgoooo Punk

Ewwwww those empty chairs

 

[RecRoulette]

RASHIIIIIIIIIIIIDOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Dahbomb]

Alpha incoming boys.

 

[galvenize]

Rooting for the underdog Japan. Sorry gaf.

 

[Codeblue]

Thank god no Red Rapper

Last year had a pretty sick Lupe track.

 

[Forward]

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

He was a stage boss that looked like a random goon. But considering that we've already gotten an actual random FF goon in SF, in the form of Hugo, your point kind of stands. Except Dean would have been far better than Low-Tiercia. Heck, Carlos would be better. Carlos.

 

[Syntsui]

Punk is serious, no Pokémon shenanigans. He will will easily unfortunately.

 

[Exile20]

This is just egregious. How much are the payouts for SFV and T7. We've got a few hundred thousand people watching, and 4th-7th get a few hundred bucks....LMAO
