WMAC Masters... talk about a throwback, lol
Click to expand...

I loved that show back in the day. I was so excited about the new season to, same with MK Konquest. This was back in 1997 or 98 before everybody had the internet. So if something was canceled and you were only a kid, it was kind of IMPOSSIBLE to find out. So we waited all summer for the new season, and it never came for either show. Both ended on a cliff hanger that still haunts me till today.

As for WMAC and MK, one of the fighter on WMAC, Hakeem the Machine, was the first guy that Liu Kang fought in the Mortal Kombat movie. He lost and got his soul taken by Shang Tsung.

I was curious and did some quick googling. Bracket will probably still get moved around, but this is what I got so far for potential character matchups.

Lich- Relius/Hazama
IcedMilkTea- Kokonoe
SRKU|Shaka- Azreal
Thedon323- Litchi
Rawr- Rachel
Mackenzie Clarke-?
Steb- Hazama
Duggish- Hakumen
Abegen-Tager
ReliusC- ?
Mecha macgyver- Bullet
Miracleknight- Taokaka
Crossx14- ?
Rylander- Taokaka

Your first match is against a bullet and Abegan plays Tager so you aren't doomed. Good luck.

So sunday Finals going to be KI, BBCP, Melee, Marvel, USF4. I think even this will be the order.

While I love watching KOF as a European I'm admittedly also kinda glad its not on Sunday, least that way the whole schedule won't be delayed by a whole hour+...maybe this year I'll get to watch most of the SF finals.

Ultra Street Fighter IV has less stream time than Super Smash Bros Melee and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.
That's weird.

Why is Super Smash Bros Melee getting streamed in its entirety, but there're no Ultra Street Fighter IV pools.

That's probably just for the primary stream. EVO generally has 3 streams and we can probably expect Ultra pools in one of them.

Great write up! I used to groan at having to get a MadCatz controller at a friend's house, but man, you guys turned it around with the fightsticks.

Do the company heads adore you for redeeming their name?

I don't know. We don't talk about it, but a lot of people within the organization don't know what we do on a day to day, but the people that matter/make the decisions know for sure that we are in it to win it and that's enough for me.

Remember all USF4 pool play is on Capcom Fighters stream. After pools it switches to the main EVO stream.

I hope Blazblue pools are streamed. There are a lot of matches I want to see. For example, I can't wait for DawnHikari to make a huge upset by putting Yoshiki in losers in his first match. :D

This is only for IGN. What I'm guessing is that their will be multiple streams on Twitch like in the past. And IGN will host some of these streams on their own website according to this schedule they put out. As for USF4, Capcom Fighters will stream it all day on Friday.

i remember my first Mad Catz controller was an orange one for the GameCube I use to play Soul Calibur 2 with it. It broke in 2 days... From then on I hated Mad Catz and always thought of them as a "knock-off" brand. But you guys turned things around, thanks for your quality products.

OH MY GOD, IT WAS THE SAME FOR ME! I got a blue see-through mini-gamecube controller. The A button got banged up after a while but man, the memories. Got it at Blockbluster too! Remember when that was a thing?

My first MadCatz controller was for the Xbox because my dad got a deal on two of them.

All I have is a memory of me playing Halo 1 on Blood Gulch and suddenly my spartan starts aiming down, spinning around and shooting shotgun shells into the grass, with me only having limited control over which direction I was spinning in.

Their fight sticks singlehandedly changed brand perception for me, and made me actually consider buying the MLG controllers too.

I have that one too, but mine still works well surprisingly.

Madcatz sticks are great but the pads (at least the SFxT ones) still leave something to be desired as a pad player.

Every time I play Melee at my buddies house, I get stuck with this bullshit. God I fucking hate that thing, the C-stick is so bad.

Related: here is a picture of the Xbox controller i'm talking about.

Yes, that is a swollen Duke controller. I don't even know how my 10 year old ass managed to use it.

Madcatz, never go back to transparent shells plz

I like Injustice top 8 being on Saturday on the main stage. Better than MK last year where we were on the secondary stage and it was a one day tournament.

I got an 8 AM pool. Sucks lol.
