Fighting Games Weekly | July 1-7 | Heel turns, shattered dreams, broken cages

You guys should totally mail me a copy of that for hyping the game up. :P

Do you have a PS3 dev kit? If not, I'd only be sending you an expensive coaster.

As for swag, it has crossed my mind on occasion. But we really don't have much of it around the office, unless you want a Noel nendoroid...

Not really the number of entrants, just the number of pools times 16 because each pool bracket has up to 16 people. So all of these numbers are surely too high, because some brackets have up to a couple byes in them. I'm just way too lazy to go through all the brackets, count up the total number of byes, and subtract those numbers from the total numbers of spots above.

But these spots numbers give a fair idea of the total and the relative entry sizes among the games I think. MrWizard retweeted them so I figure he probably agrees.
 
Looking forward to Smash since I've never watched much of it, curious to see what it's like at high-level. I swear that every time someone links some sort of hype Smash video I can't tell what's going on because the quality is always like betamax camcorder footage.
 
Just play Mu/Jin/Azrael they are simple enough to pick up and play :P

I don't know if i'll enter. I own Extend (on the vita) and I literally know nothing about the game. I wish there was a yu character in the game where I can just run a train on people who don't know anything about the system mechanics.

Thats not how many people are in each game, just the number of pools x 16 available player slots per pool. Too lazy to count the real number

I'll wait for the official numbers from MrWiz.
 
I don't know why anyone is surprised at Smash's continuing popularity. Kids grow up with it and it continues to hold a special place in their hearts. It's the Pokemon of fighting games.
 
The official numbers shouldn't be that far off assuming EVO structures pools the same way this year. IIRC, they only schedule the minimum number of pools needed, so the count shouldn't be off by more than 15.

smash is also like the only competitive fighting game there is on any nintendo console.

SSBM is off by more than 15.
LOL Problem X didn't register as French, so he's in the same pool as Starnab. Pool A8. Also, Kim1234 is in the same pool as Humanbomb and Poongko. Pool D2.

Welp time for me to go buy a dev kit
Ok not really

Haha you guys don't gotta send me anything I said it as a joke :P

Though it would be awesome :P
 
I really hope I can make it to evo next year x.x/

Me too dude...I'll be getting a visa first thing in 2014 (it's real hard to get a visa to the USA here in Brazil, but in 2014 a consulate will open here in my town, so things will get a lot easier) and then buy my tickets
 
Someone fill me in on the details here.

When you're at the event, you don't have the birds-eye view that the stream monsters do.

rumor has it that rayray slept with noel's girl while noel was out at the pool party. Pool party got closed and noel drunkenly walked in to the two in the room doing the deed.

People are speculating that Ray Ray was the one with Noel's girl.

Can anyone explain why they chose Brawl instead of Melee?

Also those TTT2 numbers are pitiful for a game that hasn't even been out for a year.

The community raised the money for Melee.Brawl was an option during the drive.

Grand boycott in effect.
I expected SFxT being middle on the road.
Finals being at Marvel semis will assist it in being under the radar again unless it ends up with Seth vs Infil again.

Also, Marvel is so dead. How did that start again?
