Huh
>>334476615
Is that good or not? I know nothing about the Fighting scene, or any scene in particular
>>334476721
It's good.
>>334476615
patching games fast actually please customers, who knew?
>Pokemon game at center stage and not relegated to anime evo despite being an anime game
Explain this
>>334478274
It's Pokemon, do you know how many kids will be dragging their parents to Evo?
I really hope Marvel bites the dust this year even if it means Pokken stays.
>>334476615
I wasn't expecting that

>nintendo smash fags
>real fgc entering because why not
>Flavor of the month game
>Need twice the setups to actually being able to play it
This makes the entrance barrier so high that small locals and TO won't be able to afford having Pokkén in their tourneys. This will be dead soon after EVO.
>Tfw entering EVO for my second year now
I'm more hyped/scared for this year because of the amount Pokken by itself will bring. I mean, there's going to be a shitload of kids holy shit.
>>334479875
FYI, most of the registrants for Pokken were under the age of 18.
>>334479867
There's no local play?
>>334480204
There is but it turns the game into 30 fps
>>334480204
There is, but the second player would have to play on the GamePad at 30fps.
Will the Sm4sh allow custom like last years? browsing around on the EVO site, it's always difficult to fins the ruleset for each games.
>no all stars battle royale
how much are nintendo paying evo for this joke?
>>334480308
>>334480347
WiiU can handle a 8 man match in smash with stanle 60 fps and 1080p but can't handle it at a 1x1 fighter? Bullshit
>>334480412
They talked general ruleset for this year with PEOPLE WHO HATE CUSTOMS to decide if they're coming back and sadly they're not.
>>334476615
Is that a lot? Never watched EVO before, but as a shameless pokefag I might tune in just for Pokken.
>>334480557
>optimization is a thing
WHAT
>>334480617
Is that official? What the fuck? EVO was the only big tournament allowing Custom, why remove that?
Especially as the implementation of custom turned great last year.
>>334480308
>>334480347
Pretty sure EVO will use the LAN connection
>>334479494
There really aren't those many Pokemon characters in Smash to make it a Pokemon game. Is SFV a Chinese game because there are two Chinese people? Is MvC an X-Men game because there are some characters from it?
>>334479360
>>334480773
>Especially as the implementation of custom turned great last year
So you did not watched EVO.
>>334480557
Because it needs to render the entire game twice since they refused to put a fixed camera mode in.
>>334480617
>PEOPLE WHO HATE CUSTOMS
I never understood why the HATE for the custom. That one prefer the 1111 setting is one thing, but why refuse an opponent to play with a different setting?
Especially for character like Miis or Palutena.
>>334481048
Because customs are fucking broken?
>>334480961
I actually watched it and it was quite fun.
Especially Abadango's Pacman.
In the end, there were customs in the Top 8, proving their usefuleness, but the winner didn't use it, so it's not like customs make 1111 unviable either.
>>334481146
Except on EVO 2015, it was a non-custom user who won.
all customs do is make more characters more viable.
>>334476721
It's fun and underrated, but it lacks content. Bamco better be working on the sequel.
>>334481161
Only like 2 people in top 8 used customs. People bitching are afraid of something new.
>>334480557
Even an 8 man fight in Smash only has to render a single screen.
Pokken needs to render two.
That's why.
>>334481261
>Only like 2 people in top 8 used customs
It still prove its viability. It also prove at the same time Customs are actually not broken.
>>334481251
DLC mons when?
>>334481239
It trivializes everything further.
Every DK just used Wind Dong Punch.
Every Villager used the same setting, making a salty who faggot getting really high just by waiting out a opponent.
ZeRo won because the motherfucker was 10 levels above anyone at that time.
>>334480683
Considering we're still 2 months away from EVO, and the game's barely a month old, it's quite a lot.
For comparison, here are the numbers from last year:
>SF4: 2227
>Smash Wii U: 1926
>Smash Melee: 1869
>MKX: 1162
>GGXrd: 968
>MVC3: 816
>Tekken 7: 458
>P4AU: 437
>KI: 397
>>334476615
>all those little kids wasting their parents' money so some asspie manchild can win it all
>>334481341
>Wind DK isn't broken
>Time-out villager isn't broken
And many more. jank and cheese like that means it's broken, not that it's overpowered you dumb-nut.
>>334478274
>anime game
by that logic no capcom game would be allowed either.
>>334476615
Why did you say "huh" at the end of your post?
Did it add anything?
>>334481614
Wonder how KI is doing this year.
>>334481746
Huh
>>334481569
>ZeRo won because the motherfucker was 10 levels above anyone at that time.
In the Top 8, 6 didn't use customs. if Customs were broken, much more would have used it.
The real question is, Will EVO will cockblock video quality behind a paywall out of nowhere in the middle of the broadcast.
>>334481864
Broken =/= Overpowered
>>334480617
>This year they consulted D1 (who loathes customs, let alone plays the fucking game) and among others about this years ruleset
>Customs aren't coming back
I'm fucking mad.
>>334481614
>Pokken already got more than KI
man ki is such a failure
>>334482056
Customs objectively help the high-tiers more than anyone else
>Pikachu/Captain Falcon get cheap stunlock kills
>Diddy/Mario/Rosa get better tools
>Sheik's Side-B becomes useful
Meanwhile
>Ganondorf's recovery gets a little bit better
>Miis go from 'garbage' to 'almost not garbage'
>Marth/Lucina get a %-specific f-throw follow-up that might kill maybe
>DLCnewcomers still high tier because of their highly unqiue (yet not technically broken) moves
>>334481672
I honestly would've loved to go to such a huge tournament if I was still a kid. The atmosphere must be amazing.
>>334480882
>Is MvC an X-Men game because there are some characters from it?
MvC2 was pratically X-Men vs Street Fighter 2 ft. Marvel and Capcom chucklefucks.
>>334481037
Because the game doesn't work like that.
Pretty excited to see how it does competitively, especially since the Pokemon Company is pushing this game in the FGC a lot, like with pic related.
Also just seeing people do shit like this is pretty fucking cool.

>>334480882
SFV is a Chinese game because it's online-heavy and the community is cancerous.
>>334482495
It wouldn't be if it wasn't an Xbone exclusive.
>>334485046
I don't see how any of those things are fucking cool. What's the point of making a combo video when you drop out of combos after like 5 or 6 hits?
>>334481048
>>334480412
>>334482056
Customs didn't come back because most of the scene hates customs. Most top players hate customs, not just D1.
It also has nothing to do with customs being "broken", customs were just the definition of jank and Smash 4 already has too much jank bullshit for people to be adding more. They weren't that harmful at top level but customs weren't healthy for low and mid level play. Low/mid level players relied on customs and some of them let you skip fundamentals completely because you had one move that you could just keep spamming.
>>334480617
>>334480773
Customs turned out to be some seriously broken shit.
>>334481746
>Why did you say "huh" at the end of your post?

what did he mean by this?
>>334482495

I don't follow
Current entrants for Melee?
Damn, I wonder if Xrd broke 1k entrants. It was so close last year.
guess evo will have a lot of milfs now
>>334485578
It wouldn't be if xbone didn't shoot itself in the foot at the start
>>334476615
>Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 still on the roster after 4 years
Weird
>>334488341
>Capcom
not weird at all
>>334478274
Die already piece of shit.
>>334485668
>drop out of combos after like 5 or 6 hits
git fucking gud
>>334485668
>dropping out of combos after 5 or 6 hits
Clearly you didn't even watch the videos or know jackshit about the game. Stay ignorant shitposter-kun :)
>>334485046
>combos
>>334476615
its almost like the smash kids want something to do after they go 0-2 in their game.
>>334476615
Watch it get 4k next year.
As someone that has no idea of fighting games, do they have a big scene or it's mostly a niche stuff?
>>334480773
there's a reason no other tournaments were allowing them, cupcake.
>>334487402
also over 1k. So is SmashU. SFV is over 3k.
Now, this doesnt mean "just over" any of these numbers. Maybe Melee is at 2k by now, and SFV is over 9k, who fucking knows. But those are the lower limits at least.
>>334479867
>Small locals can't afford having 2 Wii Us and 2 TVs
I don't believe you.
TVs and Wii Us have become extraordinarily cheap these days.
>>334494027
considering SFV current state I wouldn't expect the applicant to stay that high. Cancellation is possible and is gonna happen for many people.
>>334494704
every tournament for SFV since its launch has been biggest than last year's edition. It flopped huge with the casual and general gaming crowd, but the tournament-going folks are all over it. Remember that people are gonna be showing up day-of to register, and of course the numbers I quoted were like a month old, so there's potential for even more people to pre-reg.
>>334494704
Nothing that's wrong with SFV currently will have any effect on the people who are going to EVO. The actual base game itself (everything after the character select screen) is fine.
>>334476615
>no SG
>shitty Tekken clone gets in
At least people who like real fighting games still have UMvC3
Because it's a somewhat new game, meaning no one has yet gotten the chance to be absurdly good at it, unlike every other game in the list.
>>334495374
you realize that Tekken 7 has yet to release, right? And might not technically even be released by the time of EVO, right?
>>334495374
SFV is like a month older than Pokken.
>>334495374
>umvc3
>mid-tier team wins
I'm actually interested in this right now. I hope that we won't see Doom, Zero or Vergil on new champs' team.And for the god's sake I hope that KBR won't win again. Nor FChamp.
>>334495794
Just watch, it'sJWongNearly every match goes to timeThe final round he wins with chip damage from Ice Storm
>>334482704
Mii Brawler is broken as fuck, getting kills off down throw up b at 60%.
>>334495794
I have no hope for that, but I'm interested in all the top32-top8 play. When you see people who know how to play the game, but everybody who dared to play mid-tier hasn't been eliminated yet.
>>334476721
Pretty good. Could be better but much better than anyone expected.
>>334496196
Mii Brawler also has short reach, mediocre specials, is easily gimped, and has no way to deal with campers. They're too slow and have no reflector.
>>334496192
>JWong
I fucking hate him because he's the reason why She-Hulk got nerfed in UMvC3. Fucking whiners and Crapcom.
>She-Hulk loses low L spam, gets less inv frames during taking out the trash, senton link is narrowed to 2 frames
>meanwhile OP characters like Zero get buffed
>Pikachu and Mewtwo are in the same amount of EVO games this year as Ryu.

>MK10 still in the lineup despite being trash (at least it ain't Injustice)
>Tekken 7 despite not officially being out
>UNIEL and Blazblue relegated to AnimEVO aka the "special" event
>Sm4sh and Melee taking up two slots
At least SF5 might still be buggy as fuck when EVO rolls around so we can see funny shit happen live
Also, how much do you wanna bet there will be someone at the Sm4sh tourney that picks Bayo and gets flooded with shit both at the event and in the live chat?
>>334493480
It depends on your definition of big. EVO maxed out at like 225k viewers with almost 10,000 total in attendance, which isn't as big as stuff like Dota2 and LoL but still pretty big. Smaller-scale tournaments usually only have maybe a few hundred to a couple thousand in attendance but frequently get up to 100k viewers if it's a Capcom Pro Tour tournament being streamed on the CapcomFighters channel (that only happens for Street Fighter). Capcom Cup at the end of the year also gets big viewership, 2015's used the theater PlayStation Experience was held in the day before and the place was almost full by the end of the day (only the most dedicated people sit through like all 9 hours of brackets, most only watch top 8 (a couple hours)).
Smash has also had a lot of success with non-EVO tournaments lately, namely Melee, getting 1,000–1,900 entrants per game in a few tournaments per year. Genesis 3 which is Smash-only had 3,500 total in attendance and peaked at 85k, which is pretty amazing for something so grassroots.
So, they don't beat out the big eSports by any means but they're doing pretty well for themselves considering how far they've all come.
>>334497026
You don't even know what real suffering is like
