Fighting Games Weekly | July 7-13 | EVO 2014: Putting Q in more games than Capcom
- Thread starter enzo_gt
- Start date
That's cool. BBCP is the game I'm most interested in on Saturday, so I was hoping to watch some pools even if the competition might not be amazing.
Happens on Sunday, around same time as KI/Smash.

Please stop with the Marvel announcement. I want to believe but I can't. I can't even imagine Capcom announcing a fighter at this EVO.

I wanted to see the GAF EVO BB play but without the pools that's pretty much an impossibility now.

That's unfortunate, this always seems to happen to him. :<
I hope someone steps up to the plate then.
I would like to see Q's matches at the very least.
THAT JUST MEANS YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT OUT OF YOUR POOLS Q
Even that is being EXTREMELY optimistic.
Yeah, I'm not expecting it, but expecting MvC3 to be touched is craziness. If you want hope, hope for MvC4 and yell at Marvel about it.
Fixed.

This kinda blows UltraChen's come out & support your game at EVO & you will get respect theory.
Seriously though, might be the worst finals day in EVO History.
1.) If there are no Americans in Top 8 for Ultra (Which is very likely) the hype for finals will be low.
2.) Ultimate has a large chance of being another case of the usual suspects & if it is it wont be that hype.
3.) Melee has the same problem as Marvel. Plus the game drags cause it takes FOREVER.
4.) Killer Instinct...need I say more.
5.) BlazBlue is in the same boat as Ultra but to a lesser extent. It could be a Japan dominated Top 8 but the American anime community has a way better chance against Japan than US Street Fighter.

Unbanned and straight back into being a mizer. Good shit.
Someone should just photoshop ChrisG, Justin, Flocker, PRRog and FChamp on these guys.
I do agree that there's a chance that the finals at EVO this year could be a blow up but there's also a chance that they could be insane (like say someone from USA doing well in Ultra/BBCP, someone outside of top 5 doing work in UMVC3 etc).
You never know until you play it out.

I don't want MvC4. I don't ever want another Marvel IP-based fighter. I want Capcom to have full control so there's no more BS.
I can understand most of this, but I don't get the relationship between Americans in Ultra and hype. I just want to see good matches. If the Japanese bring the best, then that's fine with me.
I knew I could count on you!
Er, what?
Question, lets say ultra sf4 gets some dlc besides costumes, if possible would you like them to rip the color customization mode for sfxt and put in sf4?
Speaking of sfxt, despite how dead the game is
another addition to the " cool as concept art this needs to exist " pile
cody " orange prison jumpsuit" kazuya
If TX SF exists, i hope thats in it

i'd like the bottom left to be dlc costumes

I think Color Edit should be essential for any fighting game, and it's a shame that we're still in that state where people charge for additional DLC colors. It shouldn't be that hard editing a palette for your character.
I'm very confident that there will be a group streaming BBCP pool matches, just like how P4A pool matches were streamed last year on a non-Evo channel.
EDIT: Who's right? I'm right!

People don't like grand finals being played out by two out of country players. Most players have no emotional investment in the players involved (unless they are Daigo fanboys/fangirls I guess).
It's no different from Justin vs ChrisG grand finals in a East coast or Texas tournament. The people there want their home town favorites to at least contest these two but a grand finals without a native player makes them not involved emotionally.
Not everyone is watching a match to see a super high level match especially at EVO which supports the highest view count.

Ultra can be hype without americans in the top 8. That's some top level play there. Of course if there is one, all the better.
Unless its a Daigo/Mago GF.

Jyosua is going to stream BBCP pools. Got permission from EVO staff.

I'm looking forward to both matches played in that time.

YEESSSSS!Wait, there are TWO announcement slots, at half an hour each?
What American players are even focusing on Ultra that have a chance at top 8, though?
No pools since it's an invitational. They may be streamed, but I'm not sure (no clue what they did last year). The finals are scheduled to be on the main EVO stream at ~5pm, after KoF top 8.
EDIT: What jbug said.

So because the marvel patch is being announced, the antichrist is coming (upside down cross tattoo on his head). Guys, I think a marvel patch wasn't supposed to happen...
PR Balrog for one. He has definitely been grinding out Ultra.
PRRog has made top 8 at two previous EVOs for SF4. This time he is coming in with a top 5 character in his back pocket. Not a player to sleep on for sure.
I still say Ricky and Justin have a solid chance at top 8 for USF4 (as they have made top 8 before so they are no strangers to it). It really comes down to match ups and who plays who.

We're saved!
No one can stop the AnimEVO train

the patch will be announced TWICE, because nobody will believe at first

I just wanna say I saw that shit coming a mile away. Really was disappointed in that movie after so much hype.

Remember when everyone thought we were announcing a Marvel patch at ECT? Then I announced my retirement from ECT/TFC. Wonder if someone from Evo is retiring...?

Ricky hasn't done well at Evo since 2010
I actually think rogs chances are pretty low this year, his E. Ryu simply isn't good enough and his Balrog is a little rusty now, he will almost certainly make top 16 or at the very least top 32, but I think Ricky is more likely to make top 8 in all honesty.

Ibuki with a Yoshimitsu costume, full mask and all would be cool in TxSF. That or a Kunimitsu alt.
Also does anyone know of any SFA3 mods? Has anyone ever tried to fix V ism. I was thinking of trying to get rid of infinites and make guard crushes a bit more forgiving.

I fear for that persons life. Also, doing it to a ravenous crowd after marvel GF's? This man has balls of steel.
