So what happened to Punk? I had to go to sleep.

Spoiler

Tokido owned him in casual sets previously

and the same happened in the grand finals.

This happened

 

[Kaleinc]

Is there sf5 evo top 8 with gf on youtube in one video? Don't want to run into spoilers lol.

 

[colinp]

Salty suites are pretty shitty this year. Wish spooky was still doing a stream.

 

[Wegelius]

Watching SFV top 8 has inspired me to pick up the game again, now I have Tekken 7 for 3D and SF5 for 2D. Fighting games are great.

 

[cackhyena]

I had to go to sleep. So not only did my boy win, he beat Punk to do it? God is good.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

In terms of Top 8s I enjoyed. though they were great matches in all the top 8s, even in IJ2 because of Honeybee.

SF5>BB>Tekken>KOF>GG>>>>>>IJ2

Did not watch smash.

Smash had the hypest final moment in the final set. Like, that shit was sooooo good.

 

[trixx]

why the hell did i fall asleep. WOW

 

[R_thanatos]

When tokido went full mind games to secure his victory.

It was glorious

 

[Rhaknar]

what happened to Infiltration anyway?

Get your kryptonite in the grand finals out of 200+ killers after you put him in losers. That's extremely bad luck for Punk.

 

[plasmawave]

what happened to Infiltration anyway?

Too busy being a family man.

 

[Punished_Snake]

I went asleep before SFV top 8, it was too late here in my country. I watched all top 8 on youtube, damnnnnn tokido, I'm very happy for his win and I main Akuma too in SFV.

SFV top 8 was the hypest and most fun to watch. I hope Capcom release SSFV next year before Evo 2018 to silence the haters.

 

[slightconfuse]

Yesssssssssssssssssss Tokido

 

[PAULINK]

Wow, out of the two evos i've attended, this without a doubt was the best (last one was 2015). I got to meet so many players, not go 0-2 in two games, and the mandalay bay venue was fantastic.

Only shitty part is my friend lost his wallet in vegas and we spent two hours looking for it, he's beating himself up over it

For those who missed out EVO 2017's ESPN / Disney XD broadcasts:

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: http://www.espn.com/watch/player?id=3122091

Street Fighter V: http://www.espn.com/watch/player?id=3121480

(I think they're US only)

 

[trixx]

I heard tons of people from smash 4 community want Bayonetta banned. I mean she is broken but LOL

Zero definitely the saltiest for deleting his twitter. Smash 4 is some good shit

 

[BBboy20]

Anyways:

'TILL NEXT YEAR!

 

[Gunslinger]

How was Seth in espn? Didn't get to see ESPN broadcast this year.

Yeah, I'm primarily a Mahvel and Smash 4 player so it's pretty hilarious hearing some Smash players want her banned.
They wouldn't last a week playing competitive Mahvel 3 lol

How was Seth in espn? Didn't get to see ESPN broadcast this year.

Great as always (posted the recorded versions from ESPN above). He teared up as well at the end.

I heard Yipes and LI Joe were amazing in the arena.

So we got:
Yipes/LI Joe in the arena
James Chen/Sajam for Twitch
SKill/Tasty Steve for ESPN/Disney XD

and for Smash:
TKBreezy/Comey in the arena
EE/? for Twitch
D1/Vikkikitty for ESPN/Disney XD

 

[Baleoce]

Is there sf5 evo top 8 with gf on youtube in one video? Don't want to run into spoilers lol.

Here you go

As soon as the games start it all syncs up. Quality isn't the best but it does the job. There's other versions floating about too but the audio sync in the other one seemed off.

 

[Caipirinha]

Jeez the SFV Top 8 was the most exciting thing I've ever seen in eSports.

 

[patchday]

Well it was pretty nice hanging out in here. In the IJ2 gaf thread there's barely any talk about competitive play so was nice coming here for the weekend.

Man havent watched SFV Top 8 yet. My bad. I probably would've cheer for Punk

 

[MrCarter]

For those that missed it due to the madness of this thread last night. SFV ended one of the best EVO's ever with 235,000 unique viewers across both Twitch and YouTube (ESPN2 numbers will be added later), making it the highest watched game at EVO 2017.

 

[Rhaknar]

Fchamp v Tokido was fantastic

 

[mnz]

They totally made Kazunoko switch Cammy costumes after one match lol

Disney can't handle these cheeks.

 

[SargerusBR]

When is the next SFV major? SoCal?

 

[LiK]

They totally made Kazunoko switch Cammy costumes after one match lol

Disney can't handle these cheeks.

Gief, Cammy and Chun all were forced to change. Saw those EVO guys telling the players on stage something before they picked their characters. So silly. All these classic characters have had the same costumes for decades. Oh well.

Wait.

Gief? LOL

 

[Blackquill]

Monday post-EVO is always depressing man

 

[plasmawave]

Wait.

Gief? LOL

It's funny cuz Classic Gief was in that Disney movie about video games.

 

[Baleoce]

Oh yeah wreck it Ralph xD good point lol

MOV always uses that Chun-Li costume.

 

[Deku Tree]

Did Punk delete his twitter too?

 

[LiK]

MOV always uses that Chun-Li costume.

Did he? My mistake.

 

[mnz]

Did Punk delete his twitter too?

No?

And Zero didn't delete it either, it's back.

 

[WinFonda]

my condition for sleeping last night was "if tokido gets knocked out, i'm out"

really glad i stuck to that, his Akuma is so entertaining to watch, and always has been

awesome to see an OG player still crushing with their main after all these years

 

[Uni on Everything!]

So happy that Tokido finally won. Been watching him for the past 10+ years getting so close in Evo and never winning. Literally shed a tear at the end haha

 

[cackhyena]

How much does one get for winning SFV?

 

[Bizazedo]

I think Itazan also uses that 'Gief costume normally, LiK?

 

[Baleoce]

So happy that Tokido finally won. Been watching him for the past 10+ years getting so close in Evo and never winning. Literally shed a tear at the end haha

Yup same. So happy for him.

 

[vulva]

MOV always uses that Chun-Li costume.

Same with itazan

 

[FaintColt388301]

How much does one get for winning SFV?

About 35k I believe.

 

[cackhyena]

About 35k I believe.

Damn. Kinda pitiful seeing all this production, you'd think it would be a lot more.

 

[LiK]

Found this sweet audience reaction video with Trunks and Geese. Hype

https://youtu.be/v-bNHhT28Fg

 

[BadWolf]

So happy that Tokido finally won. Been watching him for the past 10+ years getting so close in Evo and never winning. Literally shed a tear at the end haha

I was also glad that he left that closed eyes meditation silliness behind.

He acted like his old self during the matches with all the smirks and excitement as in the old days. I honestly started thinking that he could win when I saw him acting like this.

 

[Dubz]

I went to Evo in 09. I remember just walking in and claiming my seat for the final day. Probably about 750 people or so in the room. EVO has come a long way. Feel bad for Punk, but he'll get one eventually.

[Dali]

So tokido won sfv? I went to sleep.

I tried to watch on espn2, but they didn't use the full screen like a bunch of morons, so it was back to twitch. I'm not talking about just the news ticker at the bottom either. It was windowed like playing sf3 on xbox360. Wtf?

 

[Tallshortman]

Character variety was great this year. I think peak was 215k+ on twitch which I believe is a jump from last year.
