People are streammonstering it up pretty hard when they say USA is free. Some pretty big names have had Ls hung on them by American players this year. In fact, it seems like more Americans have been winning over major Japanese players this year than in previous years.

What's the setup for Smash during other tournaments? My brother was telling me Smash fans are complaining that the sets were too short and they should be longer for the whole tournament and that Smash in general was getting screwed over.

I don't watch it at all but I kinda remember/misremember some talk like this last year, is Smash elsewhere a 30+ min per match type deal?

GO1 is a pretty amazing Chun player though, really fun to watch and so solid. In any case he'll get blown up by Nemo since Nemo is an OG Chun from SF4 and probably knows the matchup well enough.

Your brother doesn't understand how much time smash already takes up compared to the other games at evo, smash almost invariably goes over its schedule by a ton and messes up everything needlessly

Entire sfv sets are often shorter than a couple rounds of melee, it will be absolutely hilarious if it goes way over schedule on ESPN and mr wizard is like NOPE TIME FOR SFV and switches the melee finals over to a different channel

It's just SonicFox financing his college education.

edit: I've seen games of Settlers of Catan finish faster than a Smash match. Smash players don't think this is a problem, somehow.

Well, it's partly how he plays Marvel. There's a lot of complaining that he relied on a gimmick team (whatever that means for Marvel) to win Evo, though getting this far twice kinda foils that.

Uh, every game at Evo has best 2/3 until Winners' Finals, Losers' Finals, and Grand Finals, which are best 3/5, Smash is no special snowflake in this regard. This is the compromise of having a game at Evo.

He absolutely crushes people with his team and it's pretty obvious that he's good at it since a copycat team showed up and didn't do nearly as well just because he had the same characters

But kbr is a real human sleazebag which is unfortunate since it was nice to see a good underdog player crushing zero may cry teams last year

I know Smash takes forever, I've been watching Evo for a lot of years and my bro was just relaying complaints from the Smash community AFAIK. I just wanted to know if those complaints from the Smash community were a real thing or just a few crazies I guess.

I hate Smash and would love to see it shut down for SF5 on ESPN, that would be amazing.

Well, every game except Marvel. Marvel is always 3/5 because sometimes you lose off the first hit and the games are super fast anyway.

The gap between Sonicfox and the rest of the field is so absurdly wide when he's using 5th tier pocket characters to 3-0 people in winner's top 8.

It's been a year, and the field seems to have gotten worse somehow.

Im pretty sure evo rules are a compromise for time. in REAL smash i thin kthey play with a few more minutes and one more life. i remember people demanding they play with that when smash came back to evo

also top 8 team compositions are pretty funny

winners side you got:
hulk/sentinel/haggar
wolverine/dormammu/shuma gorath
deadpool/dante/hawkeye
magneto/modok/doom

losers side:
wolverine/storm/akuma
firebrand/doom/skrull
morrigan/doom/vergil
haggar/(dorm/arthur)/(doom/RR)


so 4 dooms, 3 of which are in losers bracket
2 wolverines
2 dormammus
2 haggars

and then every other char is unique
no zero and the only morrigan/vergil are from chris g

winners side literally has no repeat characters

Marvel 3 is the most balanced and fair and best game
