Is 4 hours really necessary for Smash4?
I thought reducing matches to 2 stocks made it much faster?

Don't worry, they will somehow still manage to run late as per usual.

Hahaha Korean shirt wall between players tech has been improved upon with Chinese cover over your stick tech on the Kof stream.

Those two play each other on Chinese tournaments constantly. Xiaohu just spent like twenty seconds a minute ago adjusting the drat jacket over the stick. I used to laught at it, but there's gotta be some advantage there to consider it worth the hassle.

e: welp, he still lost but that match was hype as hell

Best evo pools opener is still 801 strider vs a random kid from 2015.

Never forget.

The kid came back one year later (as in, last year's Evo) to get his payback. It was pretty adorable. I hope he's still around improving his game.

the announcers like "yeah, once you get around 40 or 60 hits, this just kinda happens. Nothing you can do, might as well go have a drink or look at the sky."

Welcome to HNK. It's not uncommon for people playing to just grab their phone and write a message or two while waiting.

You don't usually see HNK in tournaments anyway since it requires actual arcade hardware -- the console port is dreadful.

Well, that, and the fact he's been told he can't take his shirt off because of Disney. Fuudo can't even use Poongko's tactics on him anymore.

Oh, and I saw somewhere that Arcsys CEO was playing Injustice in pools? As Cheetah?

How is SF5 by the way?

You value my opinion greatly, so this is why I will share with you that if they grabbed Laura and this version of Birdie and put them on Ultra Street Fighter 4 and deleted Elena while they were at it, they could call it SF5 and everyone would rejoice. This thing they call SF5 currently is very boring to watch and play.

Away all Goats posted:

Is Infiltration still the best SF player?

Infiltration is the best SF player, best fighting game player in general, best commentator, and best life role model there is!

Tae posted:

That reminds me, Team Youporn is now known as Team Yummy Pepperoni so their players can be officially sponsored at EVO.

The Arcsys guy played Supergirl and got beat by a Cheetah iirc. The Square-Enix CEO just played but I can't remember anything about the match lol

That game is attracting the most unexpected people somehow.

I can't believe four years later people still feel a need to wax poetry for or against Melee. Nobody cares at this stage if it's a fighting game or not, if it's good or not, or even if you watch it or not. Any sane adult who doesn't like it just tunes into any of the other main events or side tournaments. Life is too short, have fun, etc.
