The best American players have incredibly hard opponents out of pools before top 32. Strider has a run back with Mago, Smug has Infiltration, PR Rog has Xian, Dieminion has Luffy, Snake has the winner of Fuudo/Poongko. Juicy match ups.
There's gonna be some blow ups
Why does Juri cosplay as a cat?dont spend mental energy thinking about the dumb alts in that game. its not healthy, and too many questions arise

Does anyone know what pool Shinakuma666 is in?
One of my favorite commentary moments in EVO history
Iwata was not just a passing CEO figure that many companies go through. His statements was a large part of why I began listening closely to the business side of Nintendo.
It was Iwata who said, “The only person who has the right to be selfish is the customer.”
It was Iwata who said, “The programmer does not get to tell the designer what the game cannot do.”
It was Iwata who heralded the revolution. None of us really know what goes on inside Nintendo and its inner workings. But it is clear that Iwata was a big factor behind the DS and Wii. I love Iwata standing before game developers telling them that things need to change. I loved his Heart of the Gamer speech.
Honestly, I’m so shocked by the news that I cannot summon up words to say things. Anything I imagine I could say would seem so inadequate. It’s all such a damn shame.
When I think of Iwata, I think of class. I have read nearly every word Iwata has said to the public for almost a decade. Never did he say anything disparaging of another, never did he sound pessimistic, and never did he crap on anyone. As gamers, Iwata represented the best things we loved about Nintendo. But as a businessman, he represented the best things about business.
Why does it feel that we lost a friend today?

I'lll miss you Blaz Blue. For those that missed it...Galileo vs Dogura. Probably one of the longest emotional rides in EVO history.
Even Maximillian puts it up there as the #1 moment last year
Due to this moment last year, I will cheer for Galileo in whatever he appears in period forever.
I will watch everything except Melee.
I wish someone would tell the rednecks I work with at the plant this. God I am so sick of hearing about "getting fucked up", "cock", and dealers choice of graphic discussions about ladies. Every 2 fucking seconds...its like a damned high school locker room full of 14 year olds.
*mumble grumble* Works with skanky industrial workers *mumble grumble*
*shudders*
Gets back to working on character select graphics.
What I do pays very very well, but nothing comes for free. I'd love to hear some intelligent conversation and see people genuinely interested in technical skills, art, and music again. My career lets me pursue my passion, but who knows how my sanity will hold up to redneck-pocalypse.

A clown suit bc the character is a fucking joke

It's one of the most diverse Marvel tournaments character-wise probably since the game broke out. There were definitely quite a few hype moments. Worth watching IMO.Did anything notable happen in the Curly this weekend? Should I bother going back to watch it or nah?

BTW man, I remember you were asking about PS4 sticks. Kane, one of socal's Tekken players confirmed that there will be MadCatz sticks available for people to use at each T7 station. If you want to use a pad you have to bring your own DS4.
Yes in casuals with Chris G and Angelic IIRC, Yes and Yes.Any Iron Fist, MODOK, or Arthurs?

The latter two get significant competitive use. IF...Any Iron Fist, MODOK, or Arthurs?
That does not count man, they were playing random select.Yes in casuals with Chris G and Angelic IIRC

MODOK has been awake since that Mexican player (Fruitsy?) rocked him in Evo. People realized he has a ton of potential since Ultimate came out - even Floe said he was top tier. Folks just don't like to play a character that looks that ugly.Thats because Modok and Arthur are sleeping giants where as Iron Fist is just comatose.
MODOK is a legitimately good character that just has some painful match ups (ie. Wolverine/Vergil). Arthur is a good support and a usable anchor thus gets used (like Akuma but a bit worse). That's at least good enough to be on a team that can make top 8.Thats because Modok and Arthur are sleeping giants where as Iron Fist is just comatose.
Absent? KBR and RayRay both play him and get top 8. He's certainly not absent. GCYoshi plays him as well still.The real surprise is how Sentinel is completely absent from the meta these days.
Are you really good at this game?Also heads up for those heading to EVO, gaf member Rotanibor is hosting the Vampire Savior side tourney again this year!

At this pace, it's looking to be the biggest VSav tourney outside of Japan. I'll be playing and so will Haitani and a bunch of other killers.

Ah, I haven't heard the name "Rayray" posted in a long time. Glad to see he's still played. Forgot about KBR.MODOK is a legitimately good character that just has some painful match ups. Arthur is a good support and a usable anchor thus gets used (like Akuma but a bit worse). That's at least good enough to be on a team that can make top 8.
Priest was the first MODOK I had seen in a while that was using MODOK solidly. Most other MODOKs try to get in, do fancy stuff and try to get his set play going but Priest was playing pure space control and defense with the character. So many time outs by him. Flashmetroid actually plays really well with him too.
Iron Fist is just plain bad. He just has a usable assist but you can't play him down the order because he lacks any other supportive tool (no safe DHC). He can't open up people for shit, throw game is wack, no air mobility, no zoning of his own, no real way to get in, normals aren't good enough... the epitome of "high damage isn't everything" in this game.

Absent is Wesker. LOL!
He was shown wearing this during Juri/Seth story mode

Does Knives still run him?

Absent is Wesker. LOL! Last time Wesker was in a solid top 8 was when Scamby was using him with Chris and Nemesis... I guess Unknown as well as he plays both Wesker and Sentinel.
Not at all lol. I'm only passable but I just really enjoy playing it.Are you really good at this game?
Even if Knives doesn't place, it's interesting if some people try and use Sentinel.Doesnt matter, knives is irrelevant these days. But yeah, Rayray is pretty much the only sentinel, and Kbr i guess.
Ah, gotcha. Who do you main?Not at all lol. I'm only passable but I just really enjoy playing it.

Yeah he's been choking it up for sure in some of those matches but there are quite a few situations where he needs to bring in Viper but can't because "lol bad/unsafe DHC".Hasn't Unknown just been making poor choices in his matches rather than getting his char outplayed? Then again, that's probably like a lot of what Marvel is, fucking up slightly and dying as a result, rather than cleanly outplayed.

Mostly Sasquatch and some MorriganAh, gotcha. Who do you main?
Just come to watch the finals then!i dont know if i want to wake up at 11am but I do love me some vsav
I can't even count the number of "top" Weskers on one hand that have a chance at even making top 16.nah, he gets his char outplayed alongside poor choices. in the sense that 'wesker has serious issues against the top tier characters and has to rely on hard reads alongside significant outplaying in terms of spacing to do damage to them' puts him in bad situations, especially given his team composition
a few other weskers come to mind in terms of being dangerous but none of them are really the type i'd expect to crack into evo top 8. more like top 16 at most.

It's a supremely valuable tool to be able to bring in characters safely in a game like Marvel. Order wise it makes more sense to have Viper start the game and have Wesker either 2nd or last.
Even if Knives doesn't place, it's interesting if some people try and use Sentinel.
Also, I had never heard of Priest before. Where did he come from?
