    I will laugh if those 6 stages are from SFxT and the fifth character is Asura.

    Might pick this up if i can use the $15 update on a new copy of AE.
    Considering Akuma, Oni, and Ryu were all ported into a mode as DLC for Asura's Wrath, and Hugo, Rolento, Elena, and Poison already have most of their work done from SFxT, it's the safest bet hence most people's reaction.

    Someone like Maki (from Final Fight, never in a SF but added to CvS2 as a playable character) is where I'm hoping they're going with it. I'm still betting it's Asura.

    Can't wait to see the name reveal tomorrow. Will they go with '(Dash), Turbo (America)/X (Japan) to follow the SF2-> SSF2-> SSF2T/SSF2X convention, Champion Edition, Hyper, or something brand new? Will we keep the meme going or re-brand to something sensible?

    Also this.

    Very cool. Might be the time to get more into SF4. Still crossing my fingers that divekick gets greenlighted. I'm actually still shocked that it hasn't, yet.

    Rynge, I like watching you play and commentate, especially on NSFW Fridays after Watson's Story Hour. But this is Evo...please tie your damn tie if you're going to be on the stream next time. It's been a nice theme holding strong all weekend.
    Is KOF about to start?
    Yep, stream 1 after the break.

    And with Sanchez commentary, fuck yeah.

    I'm conflicted about her. On the one hand, I really like playing as O.Sagat in ST (who doesn't if you're trying to win?) and can appreciate the fireball game when she's played like a shoto.

    On the other hand, I hate watching and playing against O.Sagat. And the only thing we need less of than "Tiger!" is "Psycho Buuuulllll!"

    Kinderparty gave it a hell of a shot. I think we could see him back out of losers. His Spencer is great.

    Angelic is a phenomenal player though. What a good fight.

  • mxmarksmxmarks Registered User regular
    hell yeah @Kinderparty! I was waiting for an Arthur all day, and so glad you brought him.

    Nice job man! Best of luck in losers bracket!

    I normally don't watch fighting games (more of an SC2/Dota 2 watcher), but I put Evo on my big TV in the living room while I was cooking...just in time to see @Kinderparty. Was really cool to see a PA'er up there! Good luck in the losers bracket.

    I really enjoyed seeing Ren's Athena. I realize that the Psycho Ballgame might not be very interesting to watch, but it's A LOT harder to utilize than in Street Fighter.

    KOF was great in general, and I wish we could have seen more of pools, and all of quarter- and semi-finals. There were a lot of great players we weren't able to see.

  • LucascraftLucascraft Registered User regular
    Anyone able to post the footage of the Injustice coverage? I'm actually interested in seeing those fights.

  • mxmarksmxmarks Registered User regular
    Just heard Kinderparty is still alive.

    Also it is insane that Chris G has had to play 3 matches in a row.

    Divekick is live right now. No Great Name (SirToons) playing as I type this. He's coming from losers, but in top 8.

    SirToons eliminated by another S-Kill player, Adelheid. Good shit to toons.

    Woah, Neo vs. Chris G was intense for those first 3 rounds. I thought Neo was going to stroke out after he lost.

    I gotta admit, all the silly FGC references in Dive Kick make me chuckle when I spot them.

    I did. Solid grand finals. I've been on the receiving end of both Duckator and Severin's abuse, so it wasn't a surprise to see them there. Severin is a combo machine but Duckator has been doing well all year. Also, it was nice to see a solo character in top 8.

    Wow...

    Reynold takes KoF coming from the losers bracket. Great top 8, even better grand finals. If you like fighting games you need to watch that grand finals.

    Not only coming from the losers bracket, but down 2-0 and comes back to win 3 times in a row to reset.

    Man, whoever thought 8 minute matches, 4 stock, best of three was acceptable for a tournament needs to be punched in the dick. I really hope a shitload of matches are off-screen right now or this will take an eternity.

    You're playing Smash...you're doing it wrong period...

    That said, if Smash is your thing, it's on now. As of this post you've missed a Dr. Mario versus Peach. Second match is underway.

    I wish I liked watching the game, because this has been a great tournament if this is your game/one of your games. You want to watch this top 8. The energy from the Smash stations has been great, nice to see people enjoying their game; fuck haters, play on playa.

    Given I know fuck all about smash I'm not claiming knowledge here, but the only thing I've seen her do that other characters haven't is swing completely under the stage. Maybe to try and win via time out, no clue. It also always looks like anything she does another character does better.

    My smash knowledge is playing a lot of 64 with a friend God knows how long ago, a tiny bit of melee with some former roommates, and a lot of brawl with those same roommates because only one of them liked playing fighters. My favorite thing to do was playing Jigglypuff, because no one wants to lose to that, and playing Zelda like she was Guile with explosive, fuck-off sonic booms. I'm assuming nothing in that first paragraph is accurate.

    And watching this stupid ice climbers throw infinite...the idea of smash players ragging on MvC2 is even more of a joke than it was years ago...

    The Smash finals have been fun to watch so far. Probably helps that I don't take it seriously and get my panties in a bundle over ice climbers bs.

    Smash is done. Mango wins, running the gauntlet from losers bracket by channeling left over Charles Bronson energy Reynald didn't use this morning to win KoF.

    Up next is Injustice top eight. Right before that we have a special announcement from NRS concerning a new DLC character.

    Not like Fox has any bullshit at his disposal...

    So who do we think is going to win street fighter? Lotta the usual suspects are already in losers bracket.

    Also, kinda bummed about no Guilty Gear or Blazblue this year.

    So the announcement consisted of Martian Manhunter as the fifth DLC character, his native martian skin or a white martian skin or whatever the fuck some comic nerd can correct me, and a Green Lantern skin that turns Hal Jordan into John Stewart complete with new voice.
