Why wasn't Smash broadcast on ESPN instead of Street Fighter? It's the most popular fighting game and has more depth/characters
Smash is not a real fighting game
Because it would be unfit for television.
People would change the channel, assuming they'd stumbled onto old Jerry Springer reruns.
>fighting game
Smash 4 on ESPN sounds the biggest embarrassment I could think of out of many competitive games.
Cause it's boring to watch you idiot
kitchen nightmares but video games
Go to bed Zero

Normies aren't ready for the raw unadulterated autism of high level smash play.

It has less of a professional feel, if competitive video games could have a professional feeling.
SFV has the aesthetic for it, smash does not.
Smash babies are lucky to even be at evo alone. Never mind ESPN2

Broadcasting anything on TV means money, do you really think ESPN would broadcast 3+ hours of Melee?

hope nobody's playing ken if that's the case
>smash fans are known to have shitfits and tantrums
>theres a viral video of a smash player have a fucking meltdown because his cheap motel didnt allow him to play video games
>melee players chant melee during other events
>have a meltdown if melee gets delayed
gee
i fucking wonder why
maybe you faggots should stop acting like children. I mean shit SF birthed low tier god, but at least his meltdowns are funny

Street Fighter is more accessible for old people
>/v/ falls for this shit tier bait

Smash is the most viewed game at evo by far. It should be the main event.

Otherwise all the normie tweets about how this shit is for children would prove true.
