For those who don't know what EVO is- it's an annual tournament that always comes up around mid July and is probably the biggest major for Smash, MKx, MvC3, Tekken 6, SFV, KI- actually I'll just post the line up:
(http://i2.wp.com/shoryuken.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/evo-2016-lineup-stream.jpg)
There are side events, too, like King of Fighters and some other titles, but these are the main events.
I'm in it specifically for smash, but I do watch the other games regardless.
I'm devastated for Melee that PPMD isn't going. I just want ALL formidable people to be there but there has to be at least ONE god absent all the time, jesus christ. Hoping for M2K or Mang0 (or even PLUP or, or, even WIZZROBE, PLEASEEE) to take it, don't mind Leffen nor Armada, don't want Hbox to take it.
I'm actually as excited for smash 4, too, because everyone who did good last year for some reason is doing worse than ever, specifically Nairo and ZeRo. it seems more and more no-names making upsets and i LOVE it.
Also, it's also odd how Bowser, Bowser Jr., Palutena, Lucario. are actually doing alright. idk if Jade's gonna attend EVO but she was fucking sick in CEO 2016.
sheeit that's this weekend
i cant find the picture but melee for fucked w/ payouts compared to other games
mango is looking strong atm which is cool
man ive wanted to get in Xrd, maybe ill watch some :)
hbox is taking it, puff haters staying salty and it will be glorious

idk hbox hasn't been as in point lately as he was earlier in the year
but seriously hbox grand finals are the least exciting thing of all time how can you remotely think it is glorious

its not tho
wouldn't you rather have spacies v spacies or spacies v marth or spacies v shiek? hell even fox v. armada's peach is significantly more interesting than watching hbox
with how hbox plays it is so not exciting. not hating on him as a player since obviously he is amazing and he does what he has to do to win but christ it is not fun to watch
lol not too long ago
in smash4 evo stream, chu and nintendude (usually play ic's in melee- top 20 easily for those who don't know) were shown to play each other in pools
that was pretty interesting
bayonetta vs. cloud respectively
kinda stoked for r2 pools
i made a schedule that translates all the times to bangkok times and this is like the only part of evo that wont be incredibly inconvenient to watch lol
oh shit smash god almost beat armada in pools
MIB im gonna wake up at 6am tomorrow to watch semis if you wanna chat on fb
or if anyone else is interested and wants to do a discord
>discord
>using nonfree software when perfectly good free alternatives exist
idk it just seems trendy and i dont know anything about those services since i use facebook for everything

i understand pal
glad nobody took me up on my offer i just woke up lol
now i need to wait for the stream to end so i can watch from the start of the archive >:[
:)
dam u ezlo
stopped watching after mango lost to hbox lol
lots of good sets- mostly before top 8. even though i know the players hate 2/3 as opposed to 3/5 in top 8 the 2/3 makes it way more intense

looking through the salty twitter posts about hbox is pretty satisying tbh
i mean you've got to be kidding yourself if you wouldn't rather have literally anyone besides hbox in grand finals
no disrespect to hbox- puff v anyone just isnt as exciting to watch. you'd understand if you actually played melee lol doodella;

i try every now and then but im too disinterested to put effort into breaking to
and no i understand people dislike it but people say some weird shit. its like sports obsessed chads meet odd video game nerds
i really dislike the online melee "community." it's just people who are new to melee making shitty memes and treating top players like they are celebrities
i agree though it is pretty weird how into it people get. i also dont understand those people who just hang out on melee streams or any other vidya stream for that matter

streams i can understand because well theyre entertaining. its a way of seeing players and how do they do stuff in a normal setting. kinda brings them down to earth.
but holy shit seeing people referencing the twitch emotes everywhere else is terrible. its like peolle greentexting in public but the twitch emotes are so much more pathetic

obnoxious tourneyfags with huge egos. its a subset if the FGC as a whole which is pretty cancerous
in facetious terms, it boils down to autism
i know what you mean but it makes sense when you think about melee
everyone and their mom plays melee but nobody outside the scene plays it competitively. hard to talk melee with casual players who think they understand the game without sounding like an elitist asshole. when i meet someone and melee comes up i'm like ya i play melee a lot and they're like "OMG ME TOO DUDE I AM SO GOOD WITH KIRBY." kind of hard to respond to in a genuine way at all without sounding like an asshole
smash games are also the only fighting games that have hardcore casual fans (see: most of boyah) which is why tournament players get so defensive when casual players talk about how the stage list sucks or items should be used. ultimately melee (and other smash games) becomes a completely different game when played competitively so it can be hard to bridge the gap between both sides
like i see where you're coming from but i think the elitist melee player attitude just comes from a lack of respect of the game competitively.
(in b4 triggered lol)
lol pls ive pubstarred plenty of games to see how brutal and disgusting people become once theyre part of the '""competitive'"" scene
tbh melee has been dead for years but a lot of the players act like melee is god's gift to earth. also it has such a weird spot in the FGC just because it has no crossover with literally no other games where players will demand respect and inclusion but when theyre finally headlining evo and yet players leave in droves after the melee grand finals.
nvm you have no idea what you're talking about

hardcore melee players dont know what deodorant is
also i have friends in fgc who play other games (but also like melee, and those who just play melee) and both agree that melee players are just bigger faggots in general
i love melee and think its better than other traditional fighting games but it is what it is

melee damage control is a very confusing one
cheer up lad melee is a great game and i wish i had the motivation to pursue it as a hobby, but generally melee players are stuck-up assholes. and no, casual players being casual is not an excuse
like i said you have a lot of first hand tournament experience to base all these opinions on hocuspocus;
if you loved playing putt putt golf and then were tryna kick it with peeps from the PGA tour do you think it might be a difficult interaction?

>comparing PGA golf to melee
oh you melee folks n_u
skill level difference can be very huge sure, but when a golf player "has a difficult interaction" with a baddie that golf player is usually known as a dickhead or no one cares. if a meleefag "has a difficult interaction" with a baddie it is usually because he is a meleefag

smash games are also the only fighting games that have hardcore casual fans
What is Mortal Kombat (a fighting game franchise primarily played for the story)
What is Marvel VS Capcom (or versus games in general)
What is Tekken (the highest selling fighting game franchise of all time)

i cant tell if this is ironic i kind of want it to be but thats still pretty bad
nah man i was just playin' you have so many first hand experiences to form these opinions i should have dipped out way earlier
gg you are so right about melee
also am watching GFs now and everyone on the internet was right these are pretty damn good sets
10 fold better than last year and just about every other recent hbox grand finals

yee
it is just frustrating to me when people make blanket statements about anything that they don't understand and then you try to explain a different point of view and they just say the same shit
i am just triggered easily
(http://i.imgur.com/eRkZ3dX.gif)
my only experiences with tournament-level melee players have been mostly pretty pleasant tbh. there were some pretty annoying people but i wouldn't say they were particularly any more annoying than most competitive gamers lol
i did watch this but most of it not live because i had work
still fun
pissed that infiltration won sfv though
also i was rooting for hungrybox the whole time so melee was fun
