Super Smash Bros. Melee: http://www.twitch.tv/Srkevo2

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: http://www.twitch.tv/Srkevo4

An upset that happened earlier is Nietono, top Japanese Smash 4 player who got Top 8 at APEX in Feburary, got knocked out in pools.

USA DA BEST  :american :punch :japancry

Watching Smash :zzz

Fun seeing the stuff people are doing in Tekken 7.  Waiting on Street Fighter because of how random the pools are.  Lots of shitty players at the start.

Watching Smash :zzz

Every single time I see this comment (and it's quite prevalent in the FGC) I just don't get it. Melee is way faster than games like MKX and P4A. ??? The player storylines are great (http://www.goldper10.com/article/1940-evo-2015-storylines-to-look-at.html) and the gameplay is legitimately fun and varied to watch. How is it :zzz?

The acrobatics in Smash seem really reflex and execution based, so much so that mindgames seem nonexistent, at least for casual Smash fans/casual Smash watchers. I also think MKX is really boring to watch.

Some people think Street Fighter is an insanely boring game to watch. For me, its one of the most exciting games on the planet to watch. Comes down to preference of mechanics, mindgames, what the fundamentals look like, even character selection.

I can see that. Street Fighter is often boring to me outside a big tourney's top 8 or 16. But I can definitely confirm the mindgames are running wild during high level Smash play.

The fact that it's so reflex-based is a point in its favor for me. It's kinda like a real sport where physical dexterity and muscle memory have a huge sway over the results of a match.

Smh, Smash has been awesome. Never cared for the hate that it gets here. I'm not watching Melee cause I've moved on from that. I wanna see people do shit that I haven't thought to try with the characters I use.

As lyte edge said, SF is pretty random now. I'll watch the finals.

Watching Smash :zzz

.

P4U's pools are going on too long. Way too long with button checks going on. People REALLY need to know their set-ups and make those binds quicker without having to load into the game to see if it works.

In fact, Virtua Fighter 5 had the PERFECT way of checking that by binding your shit and then seeing PKG pop-up to allow you to press a button to see what keys light up to show the bind. Muuuuch better way of going about it than most other fighters.

Is there a schedule of when specific people are playing? My friend is out there for SF and I'd like to watch.

edit: nm. found him.

I wouldn't take brackets as gospel. P4U's pools are going on still and they said they were apparently on the last one in the UI for the stream about 2 hours(!) ago.

Anyways, Zero will probably take Smash 4 but the Top 8 should be diverse and fun to watch (same as CEO.) If someone beats Zero or even sends him to loser's that'll be a huge upset.

I'm pulling for Leffen or Hbox to take Melee. Never been a Mango fan. Leffen's transformation from not making it to top 8 at Evo last year, to taking CEO, FC Return, and WTFox in the last month has been incredible to watch. 4-stocking Armada?! Dude is truly the God Slayer.

Hbox always comes so close but can never seal the deal. He's such a cool, down to earth dude (plus he told Reggie to his face "You suck at Smash Bros" (http://kotaku.com/reggie-plays-smash-gets-owned-talks-mad-shit-1711302099)) I'd love to see him take Evo. Was really pulling for him in Grand Finals last year. :(

I can see thinking that about Brawl or Smash 4, but Melee? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrSR_0_K6Wc) Crazy combo shit happens literally every 20 seconds in a top 16 match.

Different strokes I suppose.

106K Street Fighter viewers versus 55K Smash

You were saying? :itagaki

As a post-script, what I was saying with the entrant numbers wasn't that "Smash is the most popular fighting game," because it clearly isn't. In context with the rest of that post my point was that not only is Smash a "real" fighting game (which it clearly is), but it deserves the same reputation and respect as any other. The FGC has spit on Smash's face over and over and yet the scene continues to blossom in spite of the haters. Nearly 15 years after release, Melee's popularity has snowballed such that Evo 2015 is its biggest tournament ever. Better get used to it, because Mr. Wizard says Smash at Evo is here to stay for a long time (http://www.dailydot.com/esports/joey-cuellar-evo-2015-interview/). Quite the turnaround from only two years ago when Melee had to claw its way into the tournament by literally raising more money than Skullgirls.

Anyways, this argument was beyond overdone a decade ago, so I won't comment on it again in this thread. Let's all enjoy EVO, it's clearly diverse enough to cater to many different tastes.
Title: Re: EVO 2015
Post by: Kara on July 17, 2015, 10:02:24 PM
Melee's longevity is really cray, I would have thought it was a solved game by now. Closest thing I can think of is Super Turbo. (Mahvel has had legs but 2 had broke ass balance.)

Static Manny playing a campy+stally Sonic in Game 2 only to have it turned on him by Ally (as Mario) in Game 3 was so, so satisfying. Thank goodness he was eliminated, that's not the type of playstyle I want to see in Top 8. Everyone in the Twitch chat was posting Canada flags. :lol (Manny is American, Ally is Canadian.)

So many good marvel matches not being streamed  :maf

Evo gets how much funding? You'd think they'd have capture software and like 1TB drives to survive the day for the setups and then just upload those the end of the weekend or something.
Also charging 12$ for source quality smh

Not enough set-ups. They're streaming side stuff (off stage, non-main events) and have like 3-6 set-ups. Problem is, their stream schedule suckssssss. Evo3 wasn't used for Persona 4's finals last night when they could've kept it there ALL day (granted Evo3's quality was SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT for that stream) along with these other channels having "dead air" after the last match of whatever is scheduled that day.

So happy for Hbox though. Amazing play using a mid-tier character against a top-tier character and player. No 3peat for Mango this Evo.

Hungrybox is the guy standing and playing Jigglypuff. He came in 2nd last Evo.

Armada is the Swedish guy sitting down playing Fox (though used to play Peach.) His technical game is insane.

Both are one of the "Five Gods of Melee," the others being PPMD (eliminated by Hbox), Mango (won the last two Evos, also eliminated by Hbox), and Mew2king (who is not at Evo due to hand problems.)

Evo really needs to either get two main stages (didn't they do this once or twice before, or am I thinking of something else?) or find a way to do more finals on Saturday, to stop stuff from going on so late on Sunday.  Really if they just started on Thursday instead of Friday, there would be no problem.  Finals could be comfortably spaced-out between Saturday and Sunday or just go late Saturday night and nobody would mind staying up late.

It's worth checking out since it's so batshit crazy.  You'll get matches where someone like Justin Wong will have one character left, with one pixel of life, and still manage to win the match against the other guy's three characters.   :lol  Probably the hypest game to watch the finals for, I think.

Why?

A digital upgrade should've been there, but added characters in a fighter is always a good thing. MVC3 needed the SF4 treatment when it came to balancing and adding new characters in every year or every other year.
Title: Re: EVO 2015
Post by: bork on July 19, 2015, 07:56:36 PM
SF should be pretty soon.  Marvel goes waaaaaay faster than Smash.  SF4 is scheduled for 9:30 PM EST since they'll have a presentation before the matches start...revealing the next SFV character.  But it could be earlier at the rate this is going.

How is MvC3 top play? Haven't played that game in years. The Ultimate MvC3 thing pissed me off and I dropped that game like a rock.

Why?

A digital upgrade should've been there, but added characters in a fighter is always a good thing. MVC3 needed the SF4 treatment when it came to balancing and adding new characters in every year or every other year.

They promised no new discs and all DLC updates, IIRC, then dropped Ultimate like nine months later.  Himu isn't the only one who felt this way.  I know a number of people who felt ripped off and stopped playing after that.  Some say that the reason this happened is because the 2013 earthquake fucked up production and they rushed to get out the update, but that makes no sense to me.  Wouldn't it be easier to get DLC out than getting a disc produced? 

Anyway, the biggest problem with Marvel is Marvel.  They made it hard for Capcom to balance the game, add new characters, and even get characters colors set up.  And now with the license gone, nothing can be done.  I really hope that after SFV, Capcom releases a new Vs. game that's either all Capcom characters or with a license whose company will allow for a better game.

SE would be better than Namco.

SE has Parasite Eve (Ada uses guns), Chrono franchise (EVERYONE uses magic in that), Dragon Quest (lots and lots of MAGIC and fireballs and potential for non-traditional characters like a Slime. Slime could be the games Servbot). Mix in the western franchises, Final Fantasy, stuff like Xenogears (mechs), Front Mission (mechs again), stuff like Einhander (2d shooter) and you got a damn nice lineup with probably as much potential if not more than Sega vs Capcom.

Didn't they announce Ultimate like a mere month shy after MVC3 even came out? I don't remember if that was the SFxT debacle or the Ultimate MVC3 one.

It wasn't a month later, but it was within a few months.  Just an absolutely nutso short amount of time later.  Another argument is that all of the added characters in UMvC3 would have been $40 anyway, but it's kind of the principle of the thing.

The SFxTK debacle was A) all of the "DLC" characters being found on the disc, 99% finished and ready to go (people with modded consoles were even using them online) and B) the gems, because originally you could buy gems that made characters  much better.  Some of them were even game-breaking.  The gems were a stupid fucking idea that they nerfed in the 2013 patch, which pretty much fixed the game, but it was way too late by this time.  It's too bad, too, since the game is fun.  I played it quite a bit right up until Ultra came out last year.  Still play it every now and then.

Namco fighters are all melee focused, don't know of any characters from Soul Caliber, Tekken, ect that have projectiles.

Eh, didn't seem to be a problem with SFxTK.  It's easy enough to modify character attacks to suit the games.  Plus if it were a general "Namco" roster it would be more than just Tekken and Soul Calibur characters.  I want to see more than just one company.  Like we already have a game that has Capcom/Sega/Namco...but it's a strategy game.  Make it a fighting game!
Title: Re: EVO 2015
Post by: Himu on July 19, 2015, 08:20:11 PM
Namco would be great. Like, you fight as Pacman and he uses pellets as a projectile. Or the Ridge Racer girl and she attacks with a megaphone and summons cars and shit. Or the dudes from Time Crisis. Or the guys from Point Blank. What about fucking Galaga?

Namco would be a good contender here. They have a great historical line up. Konami would be another fantastic choice: Gradius, Parodius, Suikoden, Metal Gear, Goemon, Silent Hill. :lawd

Mix in the western franchises, Final Fantasy, stuff like Xenogears (mechs), Front Mission (mechs again), stuff like Einhander (2d shooter) and you got a damn nice lineup with probably as much potential if not more than Sega vs Capcom.

You make very good points, but for casual fighting game fans, they'll have no clue where most of these characters came from. While the Marvel versus series has had really bizarre marvel characters, the big name heroes have usually been in every Marvel game.

Capcom Vs. Sega would have Sonic and tons of characters or franchises that were heard of, even though they never played the games that had those characters.

I dunno Mormapope, if Capcom can make Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, they can make anything. 

Namco would be great. Like, you fight as Pacman and he uses pellets as a projectile.  Or the Ridge Racer girl and she attacks with a megaphone and summons cars and shit. Or the dudes from Time Crisis. Or the guys from Point Blank. What about fucking Galaga?

Namco would be a good contender here. They have a great historical line up. Konami would be another fantastic choice: Gradius, Parodius, Suikoden, Metal Gear, Goemon, Silent Hill. :lawd

Yup, plenty to choose from.  Hell, Pac-Man was already in SFxTK.

But a lot of those characters are huge in Japan. Plus, I don't think most casual fighting fans know SNK fighters and there was Capcom vs SNK so :yeshrug Surely, most gamers have an IDEA of Dragon Quest and those games. Fighting game fans tend to be weeaboos, they'd know.

There's already Smash.  I'd rather see them do something else.  Like go full-anime and make a Capcom Jump fighting game or something.

What really needs to happen is another Jojo 2D fighter made by capcom.

Although I do like what Namco-Bandai is doing with their upcoming PS4 game.  The new demo is much-improved over the previous one and even has online play.  Not a 2D fighter though.  Not a traditional fighter at all, in fact.  More of an arena brawler.

I never did get that either, but that's OK since I have it on PS1 and Dreamcast.  The PS1 version is my favorite because it has a story mode added with various minigames.  I have the PS2 JoJo's game that Capcom made too.  It's based on Part V and is a weird single player action game where you run around large areas and fight other stand users.

Real talk: I liked Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom more than Marvel 3, although I was not a fan of the the two huge single characters (Gold Lightan and the Lost Planet mech).  Remove those two and you have an awesome game.  Also put it on a real system where you can actually have lobbies, send messages and easily join friends online and that would help immensely.

I thought the two huge characters were a neat idea, dunno how they balanced but they couldn't be paired with anyone.

And yeah the online wad doo doo. Hard to motivate myself to get better when there was literally no one locally I could play with and online was mostly a crapshoot.

Oh, balance was fucked in that game, but it's a Vs. game so that's kind of the norm.  If you watched UMvC3 on the stream tonight and saw all the shit with Zero...that stuff came from TvC.  The Lost Planet mech in particular was OP, IIRC.  I remember seeing some absolutely stupid shit in tournaments.  Playing against those characters was like playing against bosses in a platform game or something.  Just didn't work right.

And yeah the online wad doo doo. Hard to motivate myself to get better when there was literally no one locally I could play with and online was mostly a crapshoot.

This too.  I got the first version of the game from Japan in 2008 (it had less characters and also one character who didn't make it to Ultimate All-Stars, this weird cartoon genie) and nobody locally wanted to play since they didn't have copies to practice on.  It also had no online so it sat on my shelf.  This version of the game had individual character themes and mini-games for every character, BTW.

Then they announced Ultimate All-Stars.  More characters and online play?  Awesome!  Got it and found that when I played it on my Japanese Wii...it would match me up with Asian and European players before U.S. players.  That sucked.  But I was living at home at the time and my folks had a Wii, so I played it on their system...and still had problems finding games.  The best way to play with friends was to message each other on PSN or XBL and then load up the Wii.  I remember even using XBL to chat with people when we played, lol.

But it died really quickly for me.  Sucks that Nintendo still didn't get their shit together with the Wii U too.  I hope NX finally has a proper account system, friends lists with messaging/match-making, and all that stuff that should be fucking STANDARD now.

Evo really needs to either get two main stages (didn't they do this once or twice before, or am I thinking of something else?) or find a way to do more finals on Saturday, to stop stuff from going on so late on Sunday.  Really if they just started on Thursday instead of Friday, there would be no problem.  Finals could be comfortably spaced-out between Saturday and Sunday or just go late Saturday night and nobody would mind staying up late.

I agree. Evo should just be Thurs-Sun at this rate. Too many games (which is great) too little time (which is bad) or they need to SERIOUSLY ask Microsoft/sponsors for recording software for their setups. It blows my mind there's so many "off-stream" matches that aren't recorded for people that want that. People were pissed Wong was knocked off yesterday off-stream in Marvel.

Additionally, if they make a game stay on one Stream for the whole day (Persona 4, on 3) they should just keep it on that one. Not every game needs to be on the main-stage for their finals. While nice, it's impractical if they can't set-up quickly and have people ready to go to stay "on-time." Keeping the tournaments on one stream works muuuch better for keeping things rolling. So many alternate streams, too little use after a certain day/time and they're just dead-air/offline.

TvC was just barebones as fuck.  Like, you could register friends (and rivals too, IIRC), but if you wanted to play with them, both players had to go into their friends list and choose to play each other.  Zero ways to contact them in-game.  Amazingly, Nintendo, I don't have phone numbers for everyone I might add to my video game friends lists.   ::)

Same reason they kept playing the Tron Bonne stage in Marvel.  Has the least amount of slowdown/lag.  There are other stages like this too, though, so I always wondered why people went for training.  This is why you get people who go for training non-stop online, too, BTW.

Reasons are mostly:

-Colorblinds (Volcano stage is bad for some color blind people)
-Input lag (Training Stage has none, same reason Training Stage/Danger Room for Marvel on PS3 was used at past Evos and why Winter Wonderland in Marvel was used for this year on 360)

That last one being the major.

It's the kind of lag that nobody but these top players are going to notice or even be affected by, PS3 MvC3/UMvC3 aside.

That hair was scust.

 :crazy

That was a cool take on a "tribal" character.  I figured it would be a Maori type after that stage reveal.

Dude also totally reminds me of Cars from JoJo's.

That dude's moveset is cool but the only taste you have is in your mouth if you think that hair isn't scust. :itagaki

He was my favorite new character in 4 (as someone who plays grapplers I really liked the twist by giving him mobility that wasn't just running) but like I said in one of the SF threads he felt like he needed just a little more dev time.

Apparently it's closed right now. And I've never been to a gay club. (Been to a club on gay night, and gay bars, but never gay clubs or strip joints.)

Anyways I'll be a wingman for any str8 places we go to. It's well known gay men make the best wingmen cause we get girls to open up and shit. :noah

This EVO pretty much showed once and for all why Street Fighter is THE fighting game: the drama, the tactics, the match quality. All of it is there. The only game series I think is even close is Virtua Fighter and even I wouldn't say VF is better than SF because it has a higher barrier and is way too advanced for its own good. Sega really needs to make VF6 and show it off at EVO.

Eh, SF allows the basic building blocks. But the matches can be kinda boring to watch to people that don't want to see people empty "poke" their "footises" for hours. But there's a reason it's the granddaddy of the genre in a fashion.

I still feel 3rd Strike's parry-- as broken as it is-- is better than Focus Attack. I don't really care for the Focus Attack mechanic too much. But that's just me.

Yeah, I agree. It's a more versatile mechanic but the skill level barrier it adds isn't worth it imo.

It's a shame no one really played Garou, I wonder if just defend was actually any better than parrying.

Because it has no drawback other than player skill which creates a death spiral of risk aversion in competitive play.

K-Groove in CvS2 was absurdly strong with some characters with Just Defend and Rageburst. Some of the more defensive characters like Hibiki could basically wreck you and get their life back.

Also yeah, this Evo was fucking nuts. Shame MK X and Sm4sh had boring grand finals because everything else was great with the death of the old gods in Marvel and that amazing top 8. GGXrd being intense (Poor Woshige). Killer Instinct having a ridiculous BlazBlue in 2014 style grand finals and Ultra SF4 being amazing. MKX, Melee and Sm4sh were kinda forgettable (Nintendo's gonna have to make a very convincing argument for 4 to come back next year). Great year this year

Don't think this was posted in the thread but it's doing the rounds elsewhere. Probably the comeback of the weekend. Volume warning because this shit is loud.

Ugh. I'm still salty about that disconnect. I feel like they did the wrong call (despite the rules) and should've reset the match at 2-2 for both to be on even ground for momentum sake. I feel like it's the wrong judgement call.

We already got that when SF4 dropped on home consoles.  I don't think things are going to get bigger for a while.  While stream numbers may be up, I don't think that other fighting games have sold as well as vanilla SF4 did.  Plus SFV is only going to be on one home console this time around.

No, his joystick stopped working.  The game will automatically pause if a controller is disconnected or breaks.  We know he didn't cheat because the Xbox 360 stated that a controller had been unplugged when this happened.

So many people are still bitching about that. It's an annoying gimmick, but nothing breaking. It just makes the other player have to work harder. Besides, if you rewatch the matches Infiltration pretty much knocked Elena's healing off 2/3rd of the time Elena would pull that shit. People need to stop crying about her getting proper setups (distance, really) to allow her to pull that to it's max.

Huh. The way Infiltration would punish it (if he stopped being passive) to where the heal was basically only 1/10th of the full heal Gamerbee got off, it seemed like it'd be EXTREMELY easy to punish to me. :yeshrug The Elena has to commit to the healing (thereby setting you up) and if they do you can go aggressive (whereby the stop healing) and you punish (removing the heal) off them.

I mean I can see the dickish/trollish nature of it. But I don't think it's as powerful as people are complaining about. If anything, it's Ultra gain seems WAYYYY faster than every other Ultra in the game.

Nah, definitely not...but we can see from those Evo finals just how insane that ultra can be in the right hands.  Typically when I play against Elena my goal is to stay right on her.  Of course in Gamerbee's case, he was waiting until he had a successful knockdown to heal most of the time, so that wouldn't matter.
