Melee is a legit game, but holy poo poo am I tired of every top 4 being made up of the following players: Mango Mew2King Leffen Armada HungryBox The tournament scene has become stagnant since no other players can challenge these guys. EVO is no different than any other smash tournament, save the size of the pot. No new players ever win, or even show up in top 8. Just the same handful of dudes every time. Compare that to SFV 2017 vs. SFV 2016. 2017 Punk Itabashi NuckleDu Kazunoko Moke MOV Tokido Filipino Champ 2016 Infiltration Fuudo Yukadon GO1 LI Joe MOV Eita Nemo Just nice to see new players, new story lines, and new characters.

Tae posted:There was complaint that SFV was too random because there was always new people, you can't please both parties Yeah but you can go back and look at Ultra SFIV and see similar changes to top 8 from year to year. If it was truly as random as people like to complain it is, you would see some real rando's making it to top 8 more often. Instead you see the very best consistently making it past the trash, and then fighting it out in top 64.

NecroMonster posted:the best are just more consistent in melee because the game is far more matured than anything else in the realm of fighting games That's a fine opinion to have. My opinion is that the game is fine, but the playerbase needs to either step up or move on. If your name isn't Armada, Hungrybox, or Mango (and m2k or leffen on the rare outside chance), I have no idea why you're still wasting your time since you are never going to win.

Tae posted:You can say the same thing to like 90% of sports leagues I live in Pittsburgh and really only follow hockey. You might say I'm spoiled. Edit: But in keeping with what you're saying, I don't think the Sacramento Kings of Smash has any fans. You either like a god or live in perennial disappoint with no chance of that changing. Actually, it's starting to sound a lot like being a sports fan in some cities.

Ventana posted:Maybe the players still just enjoy playing the game and competing in it, enjoying the struggle to get better? I'm suggesting that if your goal is to win the tournament, you should stop playing. If you like to go 0-2 outie, play to your hearts content!

Yup. If you aren't trying to win, there are a ton of good reasons to enter a smash tournament.

Dias posted:I don't have anything against Melee per se other than the memes and the fact that dudes be a bit entitled. It is one of the hardest games to grasp as a spectator tho, and it runs long as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I would love to see the round time cut down to 5 minutes or so. This year they did run most of top 8 as bo3, and that helped speed things along.

When they say easier to get into to, do they just mean they want new players to be able to do flashy moves? Because there's no way some chump is going to take sets off a pro unless you dumb the entire game down to literal rock paper scissors.

Zand posted:they did this for sfv soooo And again, you don't see dudes like me beating Xian or NuckleDu because the game is SOOO EASY now. You still need to have drat good execution, knowledge (general and matchup specific), footsies, and all kinds of poo poo. The guys who were good are still good, and the new players who are good have put in a ton of work and practice. The meta continues to grow and change. You can't even complain about Ibuki since she isn't in top 8. Or Balrog, Urien, etc.

Smash4 is so slow. If the game ran 1.5x faster it would be very exciting. At the current speed I get bored halfway into the first match.

Jiro posted:Its better than the almost 10 minute matches melee has. Whoever made those house rule standard should get kicked in the balls. Smash4 shows mercy in being way shorter in time and stocks. I would be totally fine dropping to 3 stocks/4 minutes or something similar. But at that point, Hungrybox would run every match he got a lead on to the clock limit.

People hate on Bloody Roar, but if that series came back it would be a day 1 purchase for me. The transformations are very fun, and the character design gets really out there. It's like Animorphs the video game.

Is Kilff still in the game? I always liked him. Also, thank you HBO/EVO for putting Game of Thrones during Smash and not Street Fighter. I appreciate it.

We Know Catheters posted:I've never seen Blazblue before and the characters are indistinguishable from other games. If you don't watch animu, it is understandable that it all looks the same to you. When I used to put League of Legends tournaments on my TV, my wife couldn't even tell what was going on. It was just blobs to her.

Keegers posted:I would say more punk than Du. Du used to do shade taunt but they removed that so all he could do was tbag. And he didn't do it every match like punk did. The shades weren't just a taunt though. Du hid flash kick charges with the shades and used them to throw off his opponents timing. The teabagging is all just teabagging and mostly done during stuns.

Veib posted:Being able to win a match with a double ko is kind of dumb imo, should be that neither player gets a round I think there is historical precedence for awarding rounds on DKOs. Also, it's way more hype than 50 seconds of fighting followed by 'nothing happens.'
