Most of his complaints are valid, the "they don't really care about us" tone is grating tho. Seating is fair, it did look really cramped and viewer-unfriendly even as a stream spectator. Commentary, eh, but the whole "K&D SACRIFICED THEMSELVES TO COMMENTATE AND DIDN'T GET THE TOP 8 SPOT" thing is dumb. 3/5 answers itself: your pools already ran late, mate. Other issues I couldn't comment on.

Not having the twins commentate the Top 8 for MKX was a crime, really. I'm 100% in agreement with Foxy on that. Ultradavid is great and Aris is great on Tekken commentary but for MKX commentary they are definitely outclassed.

e: as for as logistical accommodation I would guess adjusting to setting up multiple stations devoted to multiple games across separate venues played a big part of it, which would just be the growing pains of this new venue setup. Hopefully the EVO staff take away the necessary knowledge to streamline things better next year.

I mean Melee gets a huge amount of entrants (2nd highest) and views so it'd be dumb to dump it irregardless but it'd probably be smart to move it to the last event on Saturday so they could just run on forever as long as they need to and it wouldn't bump anything else. Smash 4 should take Melee's spot since it gets like the 3rd most amount of entrants and is easier to understand and watch and isn't as grognardy in it's rules. Slap some KOF and Tekken on there and swap MKX for Injustice 2 and you've got yourself a Sunday stew.

Smash 4 had more entrants than Melee, and that was also the case at CEO and why they got the prime time spot in the ring on Sunday

Sidelining it on Saturday and excluding it from the big arena stage was probably the one big thing I'd complain about from EVO.

Pokken seemed OK but didn't get a ton of views from what I've heard and the winner was quoted as wanting to win so his main would get more hentai art.

Tekken 7 top 8 was pretty hype, with a Jack main winning. Poongko showed up and beat up people with Akuma. Bob and "Master Raven" were revealed later on Sunday.

Revelator top 8 was amazing, with Omito making humongous comebacks against multiple opponents on the way to grand finals before losing to Machabo's Sin. Afterwards, Dizzy was revealed for free download (available as of right now on PSN) and a balance patch was immediately released, which nerfed the Grand Finals characters as it turns out. :lol:

KOF demo was announced, boss character(?) shown off along with story trailer.

KI top 8 was apparently very, very good but I missed most of it. Sleep, who has been on a tear this year, won with Gargos.

MKX went to SonicFox, but not before Tekken Master forced a reset. Fox ended up actually taking off his ears to take it seriously and ultimately ended up switching to Alien in game 5 to close it out.

Marvel was great, and coincidentally(?) had no FChamp or Zeros in top 8. Chris G eliminated Justin and went on to beat KBR pretty convincingly to win his first EVO.

SFV had a lot of big names losing in pools, including Momochi, Daigo, Tokido (go watch Daigo vs Tokido later, it was amazing), Bonchan, Luffy, etc. Top 8 had LI Joe as the sole American and everything about him making top 8 and his games in it were great; I really recommend watching the whole thing later if you can. Infiltration was actually sent to Losers by Fuudo but clawed his way back to win the whole thing. Juri was announced as the July DLC.

EDIT: No idea how Smash 4 went other than Mario winning over a Megaman player and Hungrybox capped off his dominant year by forcing the reset in Grand Finals against Armada and ultimately beat him, with both sets going 3-2. Finally won an EVO after years of getting 2nd and 3rd.

Oh poo poo, then yeah that's kinda dumb as poo poo that it wasn't in Melee's spot and Melee in Smash 4's spot. It'd be better all around. More fun game to watch on Sunday and all the grognards that never shut the gently caress up about either loving or hating melee can be done with that poo poo on Saturday.

I don't know what entrant numbers are like at big Smash events but I believe Melee headlines most-all of them still. So, I don't have a problem with Melee getting the Sunday spot between it and Smash 4.

People complaining about Melee would likely still complain about Smash 4 anyway

Yeah but they didn't here. Plus slipping Melee into the last spot on Sat where they could just run until they die would solve a lot of logistical problems. Wouldn't have to worry about ESPN CONTINGENCY PLANS due to Melee overrun because Smash4 doesn't take as long.
