Farewell, Melee. You had a fantastic run.

 

[JediLink]

Congrats to Mango. Thank you Prog. Now, the question is, am I going to watch Marvel too?

 

[StayDead]

Oh man Prog you're the best. ;_;

 

[Shadow Hog]

I hope somebody makes D1's speech audible. That menu music was drowning it out something fierce.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Farewell, Melee. You had a fantastic run.

Yeah...no. #10MOREYEARS

 

[J@hranimo]

Oh the feels Progducto!!!

He will be back. It's not goodbye...

 

[Tomohawk]

Man prog and d1 got me so emotional.

 

[Kriken]

Thank you Prog for everything you've done. You'll be missed

 

[Neoxon]

Yeah...no. #10MOREYEARS

Smash 4 is coming, & you know Nintendo's gonna push hard for that game to be at EVO. This is the end for Melee for now, unless the final version of Smash 4 ends up not being favored by the competitive scene.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Smash 4 is coming, & you know Nintendo's gonna push hard for that game to be at EVO.

And, if it sucks, you know the community will push against it.

 

[BassForever]

Smash 4 will be the Evo smash next year, Nintendo is going to push it possibly with a bigger award pot the way WB will probably push MKX into the final day

 

[JediLink]

I have no doubt that Smash 4 is going to be at EVO next year, and I have no problem with that. I mean, it deserves a chance.

 

[Parablank]

anybody else tearing up

 

[Dimitri LH]

Man...such an emotional end.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Smash 4 is coming, & you know Nintendo's gonna push hard for that game to be at EVO. This is the end for Melee for now, unless the final version of Smash 4 ends up not being favored by the competitive scene.

If that ended up happening, it would probably be over really early like Injustice or Tekken 6 if the community stays as hostile to it as they've been.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

And, if it sucks, you know the community will push against it.

It'll take time before we get well-informed conclusions about Smash 4's competitive viability.

 

[Hatchtag]

And, if it sucks, you know community will push against it.

Nintys gonna wanna avoid that pushback. I could see them trying to get both Melee and 4 at EVO so that pushback doesn't happen.

 

[diaspora]

IS IT REAL

EDIT: Prog's retirement

He's said he's retiring post-Evo on his Ask.fm and Twitter for a little while now.

 

[Superturkeys]

Man... Prog was the announcer for the first Smash tournament I ever watched. He made watching such an intricate game so much easier. Can't possibly thank him enough for all he's done.

 

[Neoxon]

So everyone wins, but I'm not sure if EVO will allow for 2 Smash Bros. games.

 

[diaspora]

I'm just tired of this old ass shit, I'd take any iteration of Smash over it now. =\

 

[Anth0ny]

Thank you Prog <3

 

[Not]

Not being competitive-friendly doesn't make a game suck

 

[Gilbals]

Batty won his bet against me, so I now post to show his victory.


Also, Prog, you're amazing.

 

[JStein0222]

I'm just tired of this old ass shit, I'd take any iteration of Smash over it now. =

Me too. It's been too long - can't keep my focus at all

 

[Juansho]

Such an emotional ending for this, farewell Prog.

Congrats to Mang0, although I wanted Hbox to win

 

[diaspora]

There's few too many recovery frames on some characters with select moves. 0/10

Spoiler

Prog, pls don't go

 

[PorygonVandal]

What does "No Jhons" mean? Reggie said it on the video...

Also how the hell did mango was able to have more than 4 chars in his name?

 

[JediLink]

So who's going to be D1's new co-commentator? HomeMade Waffles?

You, sir, need to watch the Smash documentary. Also, the name thing definitely isn't normal. It's either a glitch or a hack. Can't remember which.

 

[Spinluck]

No Messi for Smash, only the Mario Strikers ball

Not being competitive-friendly doesn't make a game suck

I agree.

 

[Superturkeys]

So who's going to be D1's new co-commentator? HomeMade Waffles?

My guess would be Scar. Popular enough and fits that 'old-school' slot.

 

[PadWarrior]

So you guys think Greninja will be unlockable or a starter?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

No Johns=no excuses for losing

Thanks Will watch

Nooooooooooo Let's hope not! His voice reminds me of this guy:

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Scar for Melee

I wonder who will commentate for the Smash 4 top 8 next year if it's there.

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

Shulk being confirmed will though

 

[foxuzamaki]

Is there video of what reggie said before the smash finals?

 

[Mr. Smiley]

[Beelzebufo]

"There are new Smash bros games coming out too! Thanks for supporting a Nintendo product. Maybe you'll fight me! No jons."

 

[IntelliHeath]

Thank you for everything, Prog. I wish you a good luck, and Godspeed!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Thanks

I thought Prog was teasing some sort of announcement. Maybe it was D1? Surely Prog wouldn't tease his own winning of an award.

The announcement might have been his retirement, idk.

EVO's not over yet! There still might be something later on.

Probably was just excited for Reggie and hype matches

 

[superNESjoe]

If there was no Smash related announcement during the Smash event, before the finals, or after the finals, there is no Smash announcement.

We're getting a new character tomorrow, there is nothing to announce today.

Was really rooting for Hungry Box in that final. He really made Mango work for it, but it would have been nice to see a Jigglypuff win.

I was moreso referring to Pokken.

 

[georly]

As much as we were all expecting pokken, I don't think nintendo would want the announcement of one fighting game to possibly take sales away from smash. If we get a pokken announcement it'll be next year, imo. I could be wrong though.

I don't think it's nintendo's place to announce Pokken. It's more of Pokemon Company and GameFreak's decisions.
