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

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
>>
>>345407116
Broadcasting anything on TV means money, do you really think ESPN would broadcast 3+ hours of Melee?
>>
>>345408208
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
>>
>>345407116
Street Fighter is more accessible for old people
>>
>/v/ falls for this shit tier bait
>>
>>345408229
Smash is the most viewed game at evo by far. It should be the main event.
>>
>>345408457
link video lol
>>
>>345407116
Otherwise all the normie tweets about how this shit is for children would prove true.

>SF5 has, right now in losers semis, 20k more viewers than smash Grand finals.
