Melee finishes at just under 700 for EVO

Dwam. 12 more years. 12 more years.

I wonder if that makes it the 3rd largest after AE and Marvel. Maybe it will get the 3rd slot on Sunday?

Calling 700 at most.

Most likely 500-600 though.

If someone makes a Moons Evo avatar I will totally wear that.

Also, guessing Melee probably got like 650-680 and is probably the 4th highest game for registration.
 
That last match was drop city. Both players making drops after drops. Them nerves. If FChamp plays like that at EVO he won't make top 8. The video didn't show the first two matches so I don't know what happened there.

It's obvious the monitors are to blame.
 
Ugh, post the pools already. Also don't give me another 8am AE pool while also making me play someone from my local scene, thx. :B
 
I normally play Tager myself in Blazblue and he looks pretty good in this version. I was also interested in Bullet since she seemed kind of fun but what seems to be her main issues?

Im sure you can spot most of them in that set.

But she requires heat in order to be good, this requires her to be on the offensive and land her drive attack *or charge it* This means her first attacks in combos are on the low end of damage *sorta like cs1 hazama* After that she will be in heat up mode and she's a lot better, but unlike cs1 hazama if she doesn't keep landing hits she loses it, and if she wants to do any real big damage she has to dump all her heat as well.

Mix in the fact she plays like a easy to play hybrid of tao/mak with almost none of their perks and you get bullet. She can still win though with solid fundamentals she's basically the CT bang of the game
she even has his overhead and jump cancel normal mix ups lol
. Being low tier in an ARC sys games doesn't really mean much, unless they are in a low tier of their own. This is pretty much why theirs dont drop below B tier in BB with a few exceptions like rachel in CS1


But yeah she's far from sucky

In other news, Mix Up Night will be hosting the Japan qualifier for Shadowloo Showdown 2013 in Australia. Tournaments for SSFIV AE and UMVC3, winners get flight and rooming covered.

Shadowloo Showdown 2013 is scheduled for October 11-13.
Will that be streamed USD?

That's a safe assumption!
 
Floppers in international football/soccer are notorious for being way over the top in order to draw penalty calls. Sadly it makes taking the sport seriously difficult a lot of the time for me.
Soccer is probably the sport I'd love to watch most, but this ruins the entire thing for me. I'm not sure what the current penalties are for being caught doing this shit, but I'd only want them made even more severe.

NBA has started to charge players $5000 per flop. but when they make $10,000 a minute...

It's a yellow card. And yes, this happens, but it's not that frequent, and players are being more and more punished by doing it nowadays

It's part of the sport, man.
That's the moment you go "booooooooh!" if this is a player from the other team doing it, or "well, I mean, it was clearly a fault to begin with, so yeah he overdid it, but hey..." when it's a player from your team doing the big jump.
Plus it provides funny gifs afterwards.

Also: football! ^^
 
ChrisG answered this about the monitor while he was playing momochi:
Christopher Gonzalez I asked jebailey before I lost, and mind u, I was winning. He said no. It wasn't that big of a deal, but I was just mad cause it wouldve took was a minute or 2 tops. But whatever. Doesn't really matter

Basketball's the same way.
 
Ugh, post the pools already. Also don't give me another 8am AE pool while also making me play someone from my local scene, thx. :B

This. I will go up to Mr. Wizard, offer him a McRib, and when he bends down to reach it, I will fucking kick him in the nuts and Stone Cold Stun his ass if my first match is someone from my same state. Seriously, fuck the zipcode method. At least this year we planned ahead and made everyone use the same zipcode. :/

This probably just needs to be the way to do it - everyone local to a scene (I.E., 8ontheBreak, Xanadu, Next Level,etc.) just uses the store's zip code. Not perfect, but nothing will be.
 
They really should group the zip codes that are close to each other into a single area in their system then distribute it.

I didn't get anyone from my local area in my SCV pool last year though so, I kind of lucked out.
 
Wasn't it tied up 2-2 when he did that then Chris G got bopped by Momochi the last round?
Just watching the archives of this, like, now, because I've missed it yesterday.
He started bursting out in anger at 2-1 for Momochi, and he then lost the next match and went 1-3 for the set.
To be honest, there are some funky things going on in the first round of the grand final right after it, like Xian eating two fireballs while clearly mistiming his focus attacks. But he doesn't complain nor moan. He adapts and carries on with his play.
 
I am really really tired! Got an hour and a half sleep before my flight back home this morning and been mostly napping or zombified since then. Great weekend though. Hope the commentary was alright!

Unless he told Jebailey before that, you are correct. Seems like Perfect Legend had a similar claim that no one noticed. Chris should learn to voice that correctly, at least he didn't blow up on twitter this time. I've had my share of tv/monitor problems back when I played so I'm kinda partial on this but I'm still on the fence on this one.

Are you going to attend the Curleh this weekend? I think you missed the first one.

Would dope to see James Chen vs Ultra David exhibition. First to 5 in Marvel.

Considering it was pretty much 1am when they were playing, it wouldn't be surprising to find out they were actually tired and couldn't focus as much as they could have.

Good shit this weekend, as always. Thanks for putting IRC chat in the ring too. We didn't provide enough energy for Sai though. =(
