I'd seriously donate if Catherine was up for grabs. My other horse is already in the race(CF), so I'm good.

Or you could donate regardless because proceeds go to the Make-a-wish Foundation.
i mean
you could donate your hard-earned money to a charity that offers more than feelgood human interest stories

Not to mention that I'm a little skeptical about how they operate. Massive charities like that aren't necessarily all sunshine and rainbows, especially when they strong arm retailers into getting donations for them.
This is a bit of a tangent, though.
i don't like donation events for charity in general
they exist to convince you to spend money so that the organizers can get positive PR from it
it's actually really dumb that everyone is alright with evo exploiting communities' identities and exacerbating their tensions by tying donations to the incentive of getting their game to the main event
the only thing i can do about it is vote with my wallet, though

It is interesting to muse about an alternate timelin where Skullgirls won over Melee but the notion that the Melee community owes something to the Skullgirl's community is preposterous.
Really though the bad guy in all of this is EVO for pitting communities against each other under the banner of good faith. No one likes this kind of thing, it feels exploitative even if it may not be intended as such.

Steal a credit card and donate, how do you think Marvel has that much money already?
The man got me hooked back on Let it Die. He must be freed.
The CEO of Lab Zero mentioned how one of the reason they didn't do a poll for which Incarnations would be playable in Indivisible is because of how nasty it got during the vote for the the community picked Skullgirls characters.
I wonder if some of this vitriol or competitiveness could have been mitigated by letting people choose their Top 3, so that they're not so attached to one camp and defending it so passionately.
They were allowed to pick their their top 32, and reorder between rounds!
Heck, in the polling for the second character they employed an instant runoff voting system and things still got toxic.
You voted for whatever four designs you liked, if I'm not mistaken.
edit: what he said.

Fish doctor, fish moe, and thousand year old
The Skullgirls community in general is pretty pissy about that article. They give zero fucks and just wanna do CB big.

I've booked a nine hour round trip on a coach to play at the first revived WSO SFV tournament in London and I just found out there's a local down the road on the same day.
God dammit.
God dammit.

That's the best outcome. He's UMvC3's undisputed number 1, even by only looking at EVO results.

I2 has pretty nice graphics, but even I'd get bored of that eventually
You would think that this thing is what you see online only but it happens every week IRL. There is ALWAYS some heated Smash 4 vs Melee argument going on where I hang out at locals. Melee players legit hate Smash 4 more than any other game that isn't Brawl which everyone hates. Like they don't even want to acknowledge its existence.
Which is a damn shame because combined they could propell one Smash game through the stratosphere and secure #1 spot at EVO.

Unlike other FGCs Melee players are completely against moving on to the next game. I mean I can get not wanting Brawl, but 4 is super solid and fun. Me an my friends were glad to move on, but it seems only a quarter of Melee players were willing to do the same.

That would require the Melee player base to be mature reasonable people. Everything they have shown is that they are not.

Wizard didnt mention the seating huh? I think a problem with the reserved seats up close is that it gives no incentive to arrive early which kind of ruins the atmosphere for the morning games.
That could also be due to the way the stage is set up too. It makes the audience look so removed from the players compared to pre-arena EVO top 8s.
I hope both of those things change.
edit: I forgot to mention the sound. I think it's important for EVO to be able to show the stream audience how hype these top 8s can be. Those stream viewers are potential future live attendees and EVO is an important event to capture new fans of fighting games. Last year's sound was whack. I know I enjoyed past top 8s much more than last year's top 8 because I could feel the crowd was hype. I know people who went to the event felt the hype as they have all said the atmosphere was great, but you couldn't feel that from home.
In general, a lot of the huge events suffered from sound problems last year. Capcom Cup, EVO, and Tekken NA finals all sounded like crap.

And those are the players that confuse me the most.
They are not interested in seeing Armada vs random mid tier player because everyone knows that's going to be a boring blow out. What everyone really wants to see is the top 8 or so Melee players play each other. Melee seems far more suited for long round Robin style exhibitions among the best, sort of like Marvel 2 in its last few years. At some point you just have to be realistic about yourself. Maybe they enjoy beating lower tier player than them or just contributing to the pot.

It's like if the Street Fighter community rejected SFXT and went back to playing SFIV
Different game series, SF4 was played concurrently with SFxT.
No one going back to SF4 after SFV.
More like if they rejected SFV and went back to SFIV.
No way SFXT was replacing a mainline SF.
Capcom did try though with SFxT being their main tour game that year in a tournament series celebrating SF anniversary!
