This tourney has been great so far but I did miss Smash 4 top 8.

Why do people care so much about FGC viewer numbers anyways? A couple thousand viewers isn't something anyone in any sort of position of influence cares about, especially with the sort of numbers major esports or even individual variety streamers are pulling.
People just want a sign of growth for the scene. That there's still an audience for grassroot, community run events.
Sponsors. People wanted high counts for big sponsors to put big money up.
A couple of thousand isn't a lot if we're trying to stack up against eSports, but within the scene it counts for a lot. It doesn't always make sense to measure the scene's progress or growth against MOBAs
Smash 4 Top 8 was yesterday at NWM. For whatever reason, they did a one day tournament.

Indeed. Makes me appreciate the OTs that usually get made for these.Is this the first tourney event we didn't have a thread for? I had a hell of a time following this and knowing streams, etc.
Shouta was Dogura all along

I guess they wanted to divide sunday among communities. One airdash game, one NRS game, one Smash game, one capcom game and UMvC3 even though marvel's turnout equaled the games that finished on saturday.

Can we have sf4 already?
Some people paid a lot of money and came from along way away and it makes no sense for them to be waiting to play it

Then make it before the final 2 top 8s to allow more time for the stream to gather momentum/viewers.
I don't think the audience would automatically leave btw. There are plenty of people that would show respect to the awards in person. Yeah there probably wouldn't be as big of an audience, but there would still be enough people paying attention to the awards after the entire tournament is done.
Some people came from halfway around the world to play other games too.
Yes, GAF already won anime.

I can't recall viewer counts ever being a big factor for this, atleast with viewer counts under 300,000. I mean, EVO had a Toyota sponsorship back when they were selling the matches on DVDs, and the metacritic numbers for DriveClub and Order 1886 had more to do with that Sony 500k than the stream numbers for EVO last year.
Yeah, omitting P4U2 haha I think Jose posted here once many moons ago but oh well.
Same, even if I'm deep in the KartGAF vortex.
It counts!
GAF is all anime all the time.

I wonder if Ogawa is going to realize that his reason for not going overseas is dumb when he holds the easy money in his hands.
