Support NeoGAF

[El Sloth]

Wait, why is Marn not EG sponsored any more?

He asked to be released from his contract for personal reasons.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Wait, why is Marn not EG sponsored any more?

He left for personal reasons including stress and being treated unequally.

Didn't like being in the Ricky/Justin shadow?

 

[Busaiku]

Didn't like being in the Ricky/Justin shadow?

Well, he did say that.

 

["God's Beard!"]

MOTHERFUCKING MARN KEPT THE PROMISE

 

[Busaiku]

Great job Marn.
Would've loved a Double KO though.

 

[jman2050]

Oh god this is the future of AE isn't it.

 

[hitsugi]

Yun and Yang.. so fun.

seriously, they are.

Oh god this is the future of AE isn't it.

no, this is the beginning.. but they're both definite forces to be reckoned with

 

[Threi]

man that really....drained my anticipation for AE.


But yeah OFFENSE FUCK YEAH GUILE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NERFED EVEN MORE

 

[black_vegeta]

That win was a statement by Marn. Good shiet!

 

[CO_Andy]

Kinda glad Marn won. Don't think i could stand another set of Yun & Yang.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Oh god this is the future of AE isn't it.

you just can't be happy with your buffed makoto?

 

[El Sloth]

Damn, I didn't even consider Marn for winning the whole thing. Good on him.

But would have preferred it if it was a Yang that won, not feeling the Yun domination.

 

[jman2050]

you just can't be happy with your buffed makoto?

Makoto top tier but loses to the twins?

It really IS third strike all over again!

 

[jlai]

No doubt Yun/Yang are good, but I wonder how much character unfamiliarity also played into it. That is, not to take away from the great fundamentals Marn/J.Wong already have

 

["God's Beard!"]

I'm gonna be pissed if we don't get a Marn interview.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Congrats to Marn for winning. This was a great start in his post EG era. As for the twins domination, bring it on. They're good but I don't think they're going to be that good so hopefully other character players can step it up and not have the top 8/16 dominated by these two characters(Yun especially).

 

[EviLore]

Didn't notice until it was too late, but next time, make a separate thread to discuss a tourney rather than throwing hundreds of posts into a megathread. That way people actually know what's going on.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I wanted an Oni to win.

 

[Infinite Justice]

a win after the EG thing? interesting.

Congrats

 

[Mars]

Aww, no Marn shit talk?

 

[Nabs]

dang. guess i missed it.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

We usually make threads for majors. This was just a local.

 

[KidA Seven]

I thought the Yun vs Yang match was fun to watch. Very fast paced and hectic. A lot better than rog, zangief, and guile mirrors.

 

[Corky]

._.

yun vs yang finals? .________________.

 

[Conceited]

I passed out after the first round, glad Marn won though, seems like he really needed it.

 

[cHaotix8]

Yun is very strong. I expect a nerf come console release.

 

[Krackatoa]

I'm pretty sure Justin just wanted the big Domo-Kun.

Just kidding.

Anyways, you couldn't have asked for a more resonating grand finals for the tournament. With Marn leaving EG, it really set a tense tone for the match. It was a great win for Marn. Justin got his Domo-kun, so I'm sure he's happy with himself.

 

[Kadey]

So I guess Marn won. Good for him. Being part of something takes away from you being yourself. Many people don't like Marn but he is who he is.

 

[Windom Earle]

<3 Marn!

 

[esbern]

were oni and evil ryu unlocked for the tourney?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

._.

yun vs yang finals? .________________.

Two of the top US players in the finals of a local? -___-

Is good to hear of drunk Marn winning, clearly EG were locking away his true potential by barring drinking at events.

 

[sixteen-bit]

were oni and evil ryu unlocked for the tourney?

nope

 

[hitsugi]

Yun is very strong. I expect a nerf come console release.

I would put money on that not happening for quite a while..

 

[entremet]

were oni and evil ryu unlocked for the tourney?

Didn't arcade owners relock those characters at Capcom's behest?

 

[notworksafe]

Didn't arcade owners relock those characters at Capcom's behest.

Yeah. Probably best to stay on Capcom's good side.

 

[SouthernDragon]

So, was this recorded?

 

[sixteen-bit]

So, was this recorded?

It'll likely be available on levelup's YouTube channel in the future.

[prodystopian]

So, was this recorded?

I think this is the finals: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/12498736

You can find some more videos on their ustream page.

 

[hitsugi]

Didn't arcade owners relock those characters at Capcom's behest?

A few didn't.. people just stopped uploading footage.

 

[SouthernDragon]

Thanks guys.

Also, I am conflicted. I like the fact that Marn won, but I wish Yang had come out on top.

Excellent match. Also, wow at 6:35ish. Cammy's DP hitbox/active frames are still crazy.

 

[nilbog21]

is AE DLC? When is it coming out?

 

[SouthernDragon]

We don't know. People speculate June.

Also, UStream is simply not working for me. : (

 

[nilbog21]

do we know how much its gonna be ?

 

[Lost Fragment]

Why is Bipson so boring to watch, but so fun to play as?

 

[DryEyeRelief]

do we know how much its gonna be ?

my guess is:
-balance changes are free
-$10 for yun & yang
-$10 for oni and evil roo

Crazy!

Also, I saw Sanford was wearing an Empire jersey, besides him and Yipes, who else is left in Empire? Is Diemnon still Empire even though he's moved to Europe?

But it's going to happen.
