This is already great. That Makoto player just made me proud. The Viper was really good though. Made me wanna give her a try again.

Some guy named MANGO DICK won pool 11. I hope he wins EVO.

I wonder how many people don't know that "that hot chick KayoPolice" is a dude.

brob · « **Reply #8 on:** July 29, 2011, 07:12:14 PM »

Whether my balls are slapping at some poon or dried up set of testicles is like the difference between eating a mango and a pineapple. Shit's sweet no matter how you slice it breh.

Also, lol at whatever this advertising deal is, I'm getting dead air whenever they cut to a commercial (every two fights or so) - is it US specific or something?

bork · « **Reply #9 on:** July 29, 2011, 07:33:56 PM »

Nope, I'm getting dead air too.

Saw DBJ play and annihilate a Blanka player...good shit...reppin' ATL Final Round!

DBJ wrecked that blanka. good showing.

Poongko is godly

Robo · « **Reply #18 on:** July 29, 2011, 11:18:44 PM »

He really is. They keep mentioning that they think he's gonna get random'd out due to his character choice, but the guy is just coming off winning Shadaloo Shodown and looks SO SOLID right now. I don't see it happening quite like that.

Robo · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2011, 11:41:03 PM »

Mike Ross is out. :'(

Beezy · « **Reply #25 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:44:20 AM »

A lot of Vipers too. I'm not complaining. All three are fun to watch and weren't seen much in the previous years (obviously Yun wasn't there).

Robo · « **Reply #26 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:47:27 AM »

You know it's sad when you want to see a Ryu go top 8.

so many hype moments last night, this evo is hands down the best ever already.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #37 on:** July 30, 2011, 11:05:14 AM »

Thanks to time zones I missed half of yesterday's play, but hopefully I'm gonna tune in for MvC3's play. I also had no idea we have an EVO thread. Greapt OP, my body is ready, bookmarked, etc.

Beezy · « **Reply #38 on:** July 30, 2011, 11:25:45 AM »

I'm gonna miss most of today, not that I care. I just wanna see Street Fighter.

MvC3 & BB > SSFIV

iconoclast · « **Reply #40 on:** July 30, 2011, 11:54:34 AM »

I missed most of the later matches yesterday since I went to bed early. I just watched Valle vs. Daigo, and as usual, it was a great match. Hopefully an archive comes up soon.

I probably won't bother watching MvC3 pools, but I'll check out BBCS every once in a while. I've been meaning to get back into that game ever since CS2 came out. Too much stuff to play. $:-\$

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #41 on:** July 30, 2011, 11:59:25 AM »

I missed Daigo's, and most of the top players' matches too. $:-\$

Post links whenever they're archived please.

Nope.

I really like BB though, but I've barely played the sequel since I got it. MvC3 tourney will just be the battle of the bigger cheese. I don't need to watch that.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #43 on:** July 30, 2011, 12:56:37 PM »

Damn, I had no idea you guys were such losers. MvC3 too hot for you? no wonder you can't get laid.

brob · « **Reply #44 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:00:53 PM »

Khan with the truth bombs. Hope there will be at least one competent Morrigan today. That's my personal goal for the day.

Beezy · « **Reply #45 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:02:23 PM »

I like playing it, but have no interest in watching a tourney of it. I'll watch the BB semis when I get home.

brob · « **Reply #46 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:28:38 PM »

almost all the players on the BB stream all look like stereotypical pedos. god damn. game looks fun though.

iconoclast · « **Reply #47 on:** July 30, 2011, 01:38:59 PM »

There are some great BBCS matches going on right now on the alt stream. Jason D (Rachel) vs. Hateraid (Bang) is hype

Yun seems pretty bullshit from watching that vid

iconoclast · « **Reply #52 on:** July 30, 2011, 03:38:21 PM »

He's basically the strongest character in the game, but he still has weaknesses (like low health, and... uh...). Daigo is just making him look unstoppable because he's Daigo. Strongest character + strongest player =

Robo · « **Reply #53 on:** July 30, 2011, 03:47:13 PM »

I wouldn't expect much more character variation from MvC3 once it starts whittling down. Expect a lot of Phoenix, best friends, Magneto, and Wesker.

demi · « **Reply #54 on:** July 30, 2011, 04:08:38 PM »

I saw some MK stream and how is that remotely tourney level? Matches were done in an instant and no fun to watch. MK will never be a tourney game. It looked smooth and great though, made me want to go buy it.

bork · « **Reply #55 on:** July 30, 2011, 05:44:30 PM »

Daigo effortlessly annihilates Tokido.

If we get to see that match-up in MvC3, it'll likely be the exact opposite.

I saw that live... Tokido didn't try at all (compared to other matches I watched) - but everyone says Akuma was pretty much fucked in all holes versus Yun anyway.

bork · « **Reply #58 on:** July 30, 2011, 05:59:02 PM »

The stream 2 Tekken commentary is embarrassing. I don't care about the cheeseburger playing and one of those dudes is making some awful, awful comments.
