>B-B-B-B-BUH MELEE IS THE DEEPEST AND BEST FIGHTING GAME EVER!!!

you capcom fan boys are fucking cancer

And yet meleefags are ten times worse.
Puts things in perspective doesn't it?

Both SF and Smash are covered in espn.com's esports section. No one has the moral high ground.
>>343446307
>implying online coverage matters
SF is going on cable, smash is still a footnote online.
Pretty sure ESPN is choosing Street Fighter because no one wants to see a pokemon or anthropomorphic animals on ESPN.
Game rivalries aside, I'm really happy EVO is getting into cable. The few times competitive gaming actually does make it on TV, it's LoL or Dota 2, maybe CS:GO. I'm happy the FGC gets the spotlight in the public eye for once
>mfw it gets better ratings then the Stanley Cup finals
You're really grasping at straws to get back at the Melee community after Jebailey absolved it of any blame for the supposed incident at CEO. Melee earned its way from outright exclusion to the penultimate timeslot, it's not going away any time soon, and there's nothing you little bitchboys can do about it.
>>343446917
It better, for one it has real fighting.

Why?
Smash already was on TV

>Thinking Je$ailey saying it's okay means it didn't actually happen
You must be both blind and deaf.
Can't wait for the norms to tear it to pieces like they did to dota
Melee is too ugly to be in television
Aged like milk

Thank God.

whats a grid

I think SF will fare a little better on that front than MOBAs.
>top-placing players less embarassing; usually East Asian nationals and pretty normal people like PR Rog, Snake Eyez, Nuckledu, etc.
>fast-paced and a lot easier to get a general idea of what's going on and why people are excited, commentators do a good job of dumbing things down and explaining what's obvious to players
>a surprising amount of people actually recognize some of SF's iconic characters like Ryu and Chun-li, might make them a little more open-minded to the idea of the game
I guess we'll see though.

It'd be a different story if there was an HD rerelease, Melee still looks pretty good with a higher internal resolution, but yeah I seriously doubt they'd want to broadcast a muddy upscaled 480p game.

SF5's training stage, apparently some people really don't like watching that stage over and over but personally it doesn't matter much to me either way.
>>343449301
it's where tron lives
>>343449301
The shittiest stage everyone picked in SFIV

>SF5's training stage, apparently some people really don't like watching that stage over and over but personally it doesn't matter much to me either way.
It's the music that makes it bad. If they had character themes in it from time to time, it wouldn't be as bad.
>>343449085
Open the flood gates of losers blaming the stages saying the background was distracting and that's why they lost
>>343449085
Can they at least not ban Kanzuki Beach? Just because some people have a hard time seeing Birdie's shit in the water doesn't mean Birdie players are going to cause an upset at EVO, that would imply that there are actually Birdie players that are going to make it out of pools.
>>343449748
You really think Birdie is the only problem with Kanzuki beach?
Looking at sweeps range and footsies are important too, man. Come on.
>new and relevant entry in the most well known fighting game franchise gets on tv before 14 year old game
what a surprise
