Alright lads, it's almost that time of year again EVO
>predictions
>hopes
>bitching and moaning about brackets
Will this be the last evo melee is at thanks to top players being divas?
Do yuo think armada only wants red m&ms in the candy dish located in his luxury hotel suite?
No one cares about fighting games or shit fighter 5 thx
My hopes is melee gets dropped for next year along with that Poken trash.
>>345003667
>no leffen
>no fatality
>no amsa
why do we care?
Where my Tekken boys at? Excited to see 4+ Akumas in top 8?
>>345003667
>no Leffen and aMSa
Melee top 8 will be shit
And I hope for more Tekken.
>>345003901
>less and less smashshit
I care with each passing smashshit stain on EVO's roster.
Justiiiinnnnnnnnnn
WOOOOOONNNNNGGGGVV!!!!
>>345003901
>>345004004
No macd, silentwolf or pp either;_;
Is there gonna be a /v/ restream?
Official is boring because they turn on subscription mode to avoid """problematic""" comments about SonicFox, Ricky Ortiz and pretty much any black player.
>>345003887
melee probably wont get dropped due to its popularity.
poken will definitely get dropped though. its only there because its a new fighting game but its already fucking dead.
>>345004106
nah they generally don't. i only for top 8 chat was definitely open.
either way who gives a fuck about twitch chat.
>>345003901
you smashfags really need to stop worshiping your players. It's fucking distasteful as hell how much cock you guys suck
>>345004090
Damn no silentwolf? I knew about PP and could care less about MacD.
At least Hax is going r-right?
>>345003667
Hoping Armada wins Melee andHbox in GFs
also hoping Ice gets top 8 and our guy Chu
for SFV Daigo winning would be great.
don't care about Smash 4 after it was found to be a RNG based game
>>345004004
>thinking amsa would make top 8
kek
Leffen is a true loss though. I just want....M2Kto win.
>>345004362He's going, but scar said recently that he's not competing
>>345004362
Hax is still signed up, remember his hands are shit tho and can only play melee for an hour or two at a time.
He's probably not making top 32 but he even if he does it will only set up for disappointment
>>345003901
Fatality isn't even that good, he lost to Hbox in Smash 4
>>345004427
>wanting chudat to make top 8
literal cancer
>>345004453
I'd love for M2K to win. Too bad he's seemingly and sadly past his prime. When's the last time he actually won a big tournament anyway?
Will street fighter on espn have a positive response?
>>345004453
I just wanted aMSa in top 16
>>345004598
>>345004090
PP should just go anyways. The guy wasn't feeling great last year either and he wound up in winner's finals.
>>345004459
Scar said that but Hax is still in bracket I'm pretty sure. Not like he stands a chance of making more than top 16 anyways, though even that would be pretty impressive.
>>345004598
>hating on Chu
literal troll and our guy.
not to mention Chudat chronicles is a masterpiece
>>345003901
Why are you mad that you'll see different people in top 8?
Great Interview with our guy DaBuz - about Sm4sh's meta, upsets, and his chance to win EVO 2016
http://www.thescoreesports.com/smash/news/9008-dabuz-i-think-any-of-the-top-16-players-could-win-evo-but-any-of-them-could-get-49th
>>345004640
If poker is a sport, then esports are sports
>>345004640
Probably cause most normies at least have a passing knowledge of sf.
People will complain still, but there will be a lot of "oh shit I played this game when I was a kid there is a new one?"
reminder
>>345004636
probably the 6-0 over leffen was the last big thing he did. Despite that he has the tools to beat literally everyone in the top 8 so it's theoretically possible.
>>345004262
shut up dude. your argument is "I hate people liking things because they like them a lot". why do you care what other people think? it makes your life pathetic because you aren't focusing on things you like, but focusing on hating other people's interests.
Is it sad to have your entire life dependent on other people liking things?
Isn't it more pathetic that you need other people to be earnest in the things they like for you to have passe bullshit opinions?
>>345004843
it's actually precisely the opposite. Leffen and Amasa have been to like 3 tourneys each in the past year, we precisely want them there so there are upsets and shakeups. Not that they won't happen anyway because it's fucking evo and everyone else is there.
>>345004908
>our guy DaBuz
Please actually kill yourself.
>>345003667
I just want matches as good as Infiltration vs Gamerbee last year or the Blazblue finals in 2014.
Pokken top 8 - more or less than 50k views?
>>345004732
>>345004476
has Hax posted anymore updates on his recovery?
Also as a smash shitter who dabbles in anime fighters what else should I be watching? I watched SFV at CEO and that was alright. Any storylines I should be aware of going into this?
>>345004908
i hope he wins.
never got the hate for him.
>>345005173
with darkrai reveal, probably more
Can't wait to see
>>345004946
rlly makes you think
>>345005178
just watch everything. it's EVO. every top 8 will be hype.
the only thing i'm skipping is Pokken because it's just not a good game by any metric.
>no leffen
Looks like evo isn't worth watching this year.
>>345005260
yeah
WHO LADS WHENS MARVEL
>>345005313
>every top 8 will be hype
Until hbox shows up and turns it into a snooze fest.
>>345003901
>why do we care
>we
Tismo
>>345003795
Literally the only one bitching is Leffen and he can't go anyway.
>>345005378
>melee is free form jazz
What?
>>345005468
>hbox
>lame
he's one of the most aggressive players now and relies on god tier punish game.
stop posting twitch tier shit
>>345005580
it was a viral video from a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1wLshtOWsg
>>345003667
>JWong wins SFV
>FChamp wins UMvC3
>ppmd takes smash
>zero takes smash 4
>>345005580
this was really hard to google.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1wLshtOWsg
>>345005468
In the old bracket there was an offchance hbox would have to fight first wizzy and then Leffen if M2K beat leffen before he could even make top 8. Without leffen he's probably locked to top 8 now but there was a chance he wouldn't make it at all.
>>345005668
>JWong wins SFV
>>345005727
This is why top players need to be floated.
>>345005378
bing version
>>345005791
No, it's not.
There's a reason we have open tournaments and not just invitationals.
>>345005668
>JWong wins SFV
def. wont happen
>FChamp wins UMvC3
might actually happen
>smash
lmao
>>345005668
none of those will happen except maybe FChamp
>>345005668
ppmd isn't going
>>345005791
If he was floated he has less to get through making it easier for hbox.
If your game has so little real competition that there is no threat for top players it should die
>>345005912
>Capcucks
lmao
I only play SFV and KI, as much as I like Tokido and Infiltration I hope someone else wins SFV and as for KI hoping Bass or Thomphson pull through.
Interested in Guilty Gear though, I have no local scene for anything except Smash however. Is Revelator active online of am I fucked in that regard?
GG, SFV, and Tekken are the only things I plan on watching
>>345005313
>every top 8 will be hype

>>345006152

>>345006273
Watching scarflard lose and cry about it later is fun.
will he cry on live TV?
>>345003667
>mfw JWong doesn't even make top 8 despite having a free ride
>leave evo to me
>rigging brackets so they can have Americans on ESPN
>>345006424
he always cries at the end of evo. james is a very emotional man
>>345006424
yeah, finals day and give a hug to seth killian. Its tradition motherfucker, embrace it
>>345006416
I'll just shitpost on v and wait for someone to post the reaction webms and tweet caps. No reason to waste time with that snorefest.
>>345006635
>>345006642
i know man, but he's gonna be on espn2. i wonder if he'll try to rein it in.
>>345006424
most likely because hes apparently a "male feminist" now
>>345006569
I hope someone gets physical. The best part is if they both can't fight and use moves from the games. I want to see someone try some zangief shit.
>>345006751
he better not. I want to see HD tears on my 8 year old 1080p plasma tv

>>345003667
>hopes
Wizzrobe or M2K for Melee.
A non-top-10 character player for Smash 4.

Armada for Melee.
ZeRo for Smash 4.
>>345006424
I hope so. Without James' love tears, next year's EVO harvest will be barren.
>>345006137
>rooting against our guy Infiltration
Get the fuck out
>>345004640
>listening to normies at all
I'm telling you now if a US player beats literally any JPN player, twitter will be full of cunts saying
>Thats for Pearl Harbor, Mr. Ching-Chong Ping-Pong!
>>345005178
>Any storylines
>smash babies only follow smash for the drama and personalities
as expected of that cancerous community desu
very similar to league in that most of the ""fans"" have no idea what's going on in what is already a very low skill game and are only there to dickride popular players and fit in with their friends
>>345007046
The Japanese players are going to take themselves out. Look at the brackets.
>>345007045
You mean SonicFox :^)
>>345007046
pearl harbor was 9/11 50 years before 9/11. Just as staged.
Not staged like they were all actors, but staged like the US baited that shit and knew it was coming.
>>345006569
>someone takes an unflattering picture of Justin Wong
you can already mark that spot since every picture of him looks terrible.
When does it start?
>>345007195
Smash tried hard to be pro wrestling for a while.
Even making leffen out to be a "heel" and encouraging some of his antics out of earshot from people.
>>345006635
He's got passion for the games
>>345003667
when will tekken starts?
>>345004640
Street Fighter doesn't belong on ESPN, but then again neither does Poker so whatever.
>>345007276
SonicFag has MKX on lock, he's fine
>>345006569
Unflattering picture of Justin should be the free space desu
>>345007443

The difference is that WWII was already going on and was an impending threat to everyone's sovereignty.
9/11 effectively gave an excuse to start a war that ultimately created ISIS.
>>345004106
shut up /pol/
>>345006935
>ZeRo for Smash 4.
Scarflard has been on a losing streak. He didn't even make the top 8 in CEO.
>>345007640
9/11 brought us ISIS, and pearl harbor brought us weeaboos.
Which is the greater threat to humanity?
>>345007705
I know. He lost out to LarryLurr. I think he's going to win EVO, though.
If not ZeRo, then probably ANTi.
>turn on Street Fighter V this week
>I get in-game notice reminding me of EVO and how I can watch it on Twitch or fucking ESPN, of all things.
Remember when EVO was just a weird thing that barely anybody cared or knew about?

>>345007195
I just wanted to know the favorites to win, players with momentum, and any rivalries. Why'd you have to go full nigger senpai?

Another Infiltration vs Tokido final. With a lolinfiltrationwins ending.
Also JWong will choke in every game he gets in and Daigo will not be in the top 8.
>>345003795
I don't know how I'm going to sit through their 4 hour finals holy shit.
>>345008296
That's reaching really hard.
That's like blaming the inventor of the transistor for shitposters.

Hasn't this only happened the year it made its EVO debut?
>>345009119
Perhaps only 8 people signed up for it?
If Svampen makes Top 8 in GG, it would make this weekend perfect. His road there is incredibly hard though since he has to beat some japanese killers to get there.
For SFV, I'm hoping for Tokido or Xian to win. Tokido because he's been working harder than anyone else, so not getting 1st would be incredibly unfortunate. Xian because him as a player is incredibly entertaining. His attitude towards competition is an ideal that would be great if more players had.Sonicfox making Top 8 would be incredibly nice, but I doubt that will happen.
For Sm4sh I want Dabuz. Easily the most consistent player right now, and he can earn a top spot. He's finally been getting some positive attention after the Sm4sh playerbase stopped bitching about anything other than constant aggression, so this is a nice oppritunity. But again, the same was for G3. Melee is looking mighty boring this time around so Sm4sh redeeming it would be nice.
Other than that, I'll be making sure to catch UNIEL and BB on the AnimEVO stream, along with some BBCF demo casuals on Jyosua's channel. Also AH3LM since I want to get into that game.
>>345008997
yeah man there's a lot. I'm not sure if I'm going to watch SFV first day because it's just gonna be Daigo vs. Alan from the deli.
>>345008876
post the evo one.
ANNOUNCE THE BLAZBLUE CENTRALFICTION DEMO. MORI YOU FUCKING HACK JUST DO IT ALREADY I WANT TO PLAY IZANAMI NOT WAIT FOR ANOTHER 3 MONTHS FUCK
>>345009086
I'm guessing it's going to be the console version, so not 2.0.
What kind of scandals will Justin Wong get himself into in Vegas?
>>345009119
That's a stream schedule, so pools might just be offline.
>>345008997
5000+
Makes you wonder if they will have to extend the event at some point.
>>345009387
He'll tell everyone what grease he smears all over himself before showing up anywhere.
LTG will mention its what he uses in his hair.
>>345008997
5000+, so the biggest amount of entrants yet

The Skullgirls stream hasn't been announced yet, but from what I've heard they're holding their own. The google document isn't entirely updated so there are probably one or two things missing on it.
Pokken is a waste of space. Doubly so because BB, KoF, or Ultimax didn't get spots because of it.
I remember TvC being at EVO once as well, but that game wasn't terrible
>>345007589
Why there's so much time between finals the last day? I don't think they actually use all that time just for the losers and winners finals.
>>345010393
It's a buffer period since they need to have SFV start on time because of the ESPN2 broadcast
>>345010342
It won't be there next year, might as well take some Nintendo bux and put it in. Marvel would be taking the hike too but it still has players coming to events.
>>345009815

>>345007946
Zero has proven that he needs crutches to win. His only real chance is picking up Cloud by Evo, and even then Cloud isn't as abusable as Diddy or Sheik were.
Anti could take it, but I wouldn't call that a certainty.

You do realize that the Grand Finals not being Kokonoe vs Kokonoe wasn't the reason for it being exciting? The gameplay was at a top level with all of their options clearly having been practiced before, along with intense comebacks in high-risk situations. Trying to claim it as something else is just being bitter for the sake of it when the match was clearly amazing.

Last year's USF4 finals were so hype. I don't think 5 will top it
>>345013667
F-Word not being able to make it to EVO was really unfortunate. On top of that, Logan-sama is only there as a player to enjoy himself.
>>345013797
This year? Definitely not.
In about 2-3 years? Maybe.I don't think it'll ever top it but who knows, maybe more characters and 2nd vtrigger will bring some satisfaction in watching it.
>>345013797
It's gonna be ryu vs something. Jchen and David screaming about no effort parries and 60% no effort combos, false hype everywhere. Exciting.

Also he hasn't tweeted since March
