Tomorrow is the beginning! Are you hyped? Are not hyped at all?

Who will win SFV? Infiltration or some literal nobody who started playing a few months ago? It's impossible to know!

>>383823120
I don't think Infiltration has a chance this year. Too many good players this year. I just hope my boy Snake Eyes makes it high

>>383823008
I'm working all damn weekend and the only finals I'll be able to catch is Blazblue. The one I'm least interested in actually watching.

I'm going to watch Injustice and Guilty Gear. SFV at EVO was stale as fuck last year. Fucking esports posers.

I'm tuning in for Guilty Gear, but that's it. Can't bring myself to care that much when the game I actually play isn't even going to be there.

Do you think it's because SFV is headlining the whole thing or just the line up of games this year?

>>383825030
it's the line up, the lack of hype or effort is killing everything.

Shroomed is winning Melee, you heard it here first

Why are they making a RWBY game again? Tumblr landwhales can't play fighting game.

This is legit just going to appeal to a very small fanbase. I rather have Persona 5 arena.

>>383825030
BlazBlue on Sunday makes no sense
Injustice 2 is another NRS kusoge that paid its way in
Marvel and Melee are both played out
Smash 4 is boring as shit
SFV sucks

The only things worth watching this year are gonna be GG, KOF, and Tekken.

>>383823008
Just Gg. Probably watch melee and sfv too just because I'm bored

1. Nintendo money.

2. With melee on Saturday and being the second most viewed game every year, Mr. Wizard now gets a giant viewership spike on Saturday so he can sell Saturday advertising slots for way higher than normal.

It's win win for the Wizarding Jew.

The money given by Nintendo directly to Mr. Wizard to put the game they want to advertise because they still make money from it on Sunday as well as the advertising and sponsorship money handed over by Nintendo for having Sm4sh there.

Civil War was a pretty transparent and desperate inauthentic attempt to fabricate "muh narratives" for the Sm4sh community because the game itself isn't interesting to watch. Sm4sh as an esport suffers form not only having gameplay that is simply not intriguing from a viewership perspective but also having no top players that act as characters and narrative generators outside of ZeRo and his win streak, which is now unfortunately history.

Civil War was nothing but a pathetic hurrah by community organizers to try to drum up some fake hype and rivalry and it failed. Upsets are not impressive in a game where they're the norm and "fast" doesn't only mean the time it takes to eliminate two (TWO 2 only 2) stocks which should be fast inherently, but the speed at which actions are performed and characters move, etc.

Sm4sh will never, ever be Street Fighter where the top players are characters unto themselves that people want to see them and it's got the added handicap of being a game that people generally don't want to see either. This is why the FGC hates Sm4sh at EVO. It is just so openly a business deal between Nintendo and Mr. Wizard, and yet the Sm4shfags still hine and complain about their treatment instead of being thankful for being there on Nintendo's dollar at all.

Which is why I probs won't be watching it at all outside of waiting room for SF. If it makes you feel better though you can at least pretend your waiting room numbers are some sort of jump in interest in Sm4sh when in reality Sm4sh viewership has been on its slow death since TBH5 despite the life support from Nintendo.

>>383832181
Did you not read the post or what it was in response to?

Civil War was more concerned with the personalities than the game itself, because the Sm4sh community is more concerned with personalities than the game itself, because they know that the game itself is not enough to draw in the viewership that they need to sustain their esports life. Civil War was an attempt to make personalities compensate for the viewership draw that the game lacks, but that failed because Sm4sh simply doesn't have personalities either.

I'm definitely going to be flipping back and forth between it and UNIEL tomorrow. I'm not going to lie, as the E3 impressions have been properly compiled in recent weeks, my hype has died down considerably.

Hopefully seeing it in the hands of people who know what they're doing properly will reignite the hype. But at this moment, it looks like Persona Arena 2.0 as far as depth goes.

What else is even on here? There's no real reason to watch if you follow any of the games' scenes. It's all stale meta or just straight up boring due to the same players being there and no new players because people just don't care much about fighting games nowadays to get good and beat the top players.

The one game that had a constant change in top players was SFIV and that was only on its last two years.

>>383833612
>You keep implying that the viewership is low which it isnt.
It is. Sm4sh has even lower viewership than another entry in the series which is 13 years older than it. And it keeps going down. It even got less views at EVO last year than the year before. This isn't a controversial statement, it's just facts that you can observe yourself. The viewership is shrinking, especially since while it was propped up by patches and DLC for a while on life support but is now going the way of its predecessor.

>Scarflard losing that streak give people reason to watch top 8 since it isnt lol zero wins hoh hah
Except that no one gave a fuck about Sm4sh outside of that streak and wanting to see it end, which is why viewership has declined steadily ever since his streak was ended.

People have no reason to watch top 8 for the basic insurmountable reason that people don't find the game visually entertaining.

In my high school anime club, the guy showed the first 2 seasons of RWBY for respect of one of the creator's' death over the course of a month or so. It was so bad, it killed the attendance from like 20 or so people, to single digits. And during that time, we had our yearbook photo of the club, which made us look like even bigger losers than we already were.

What I don't get is why people don't want to see smash at EVO. Is it really just because it's taking a spot that could be put to better use? Or is it the smell?

>>383835402
If they were smart they would, but it probably wouldn't come until December regardless, but that gives them 6 months of marketing opportunity assuming they still know how to communicate things like back before SSFIV launched.

>>383834687
Even with my barely intermediate skill with fighting games, I can't come up with any defenses for SFV's direction and design philosophy. The most optimal combos are easy as fuck and require no execution or leave little room for error, the roster is streamlined as fuck and every character fights at the same range and uses the same strike/throw or shimmy/throw mixups to open people up, v-triggers are either a "use this after your stand HK to extend your blockstring or hitconfirm" or "use this during a combo to get a reset to win to potentially stun and end the round." The game's simplicity makes the game get very stale to both play and watch, and the resulting apathy makes people depressed because SF is something everyone wants to always be good. I know there are competent players that enjoy the game, but I still think that the people enjoying the game the most are also the ones the least experienced with fighting games.

I mean, I know that I'm probably in the minority of people that like seeing and performing difficult combos or fast reactions, but did they have to gut that completely in SFV? At least have like one or two characters that need some decent execution to be played well. Like why did they completely remove negative edge from Juri's moveset? I didn't even play her in IV but I would have in V if she turned out to be the character that requires that kind of practice. There's only one character that really excels at the mid/long range too. I was a vega player before, but now I have to play sim if I want to apply some pressure or even check people from half screen?

Why the fuck would Nintendo make a hard cash payment to get Smash 4 on the main stage instead of ARMS, the game that just came out for a system that's actually still alive? Why the fuck did they only do it this year, instead of once during the last 3 years when Smash Wii U was actually relevant from a sales perspective?

You people who insist everything is because of moneyhats make no sense.

Oh boy, I can't wait for no zoning allowed Sagat with only one tiger shot height and a fuckton of recovery on it. God forbid SFV get a character that does anything other than the same old shit, let alone one that excels in projectile pressure. Can't wait to pop that v-trigger after my stand fierce and confirm into a 50% tiger knee into tiger genocide combo that's impossible to drop.

We have two smash games at EVO because they bring more money than almost all FGC titles put together.
How is it that you fuckers dont get this yet? Smash alone is bringing 150k in venue fees alone this year.

With EVO expanding do you fuckers really think they can or will drop all that sweet money to include 2 literally who dead fgc communities?

>>383838740
I find smash 4 boring to watch cause I can do everything the pros do

When I see melee its a technical display I literally can't do so its cool. (hands are fucked from sc2) The personalities are more interesting, as well. You better believe if its hbox armada im tuning out then

dont know where to ask this since /v/ never has fightan threads but

is sfv worth it if i can get it for $20 with no dlc? i heard it was a bad game, but all i heard on why it's bad because it's too easy. i play anime fighting games so im used to easy inputs.

Melee is there because the viewership for Melee is fucking insane. Mr Wizard can then go to advertisers and say, "This is how many people will see your ad for your gay lootcrate during Melee blocks" and price them accordingly. While it did get in on its grassroots support, it's now there because it's a viewership juggernaut.

Sm4sh is there because of Nintendo sponsorship.

Both of these games pull money in for Mr Wizard in a couple different ways far better than Anime Loli Fight Simulator Steam Exclusive Indie Title #546543645.

How is your explanation more simple than "Smash 4 got a Sunday slot because it's really popular"? And that explanation, unlike yours, makes sense.

Based Sm4sh.

>>383839441
Because Sm4sh entrants did not get it the Sunday slot last year, so that explanation does not hold water. It is based on a provably nonsensical premise that entrants = Sunday slot. Nice try though.

I'm excited, but my excitement has definitely dwindled. Last year I didn't enjoy it as much as I did years before, but that's mostly because I find SFV very boring to watch. Excited to watch Tekken and KOF though. Also not happy that Sm4sh is on Sunday, I dont really like or follow Smash yet I don't really mind watching Melee but I find Sm4sh boring. Guilty Gear is fun to watch too, so excited for that, nothing else really though, Marvel is always fun but I don't really get invested.

20 bucks isn't bad, but no DLC means you're going to be missing a lot of the roster.

I'd say hold off for now and just watch some SFV at EVO and see if it tickles your fancy. I play animu games mainly too, and I don't particularly care for SF. If I want a more footsie oriented game I just pop in UNIEL

>>383840050

Once again you make a self-contradictory statement, rendering it nonsensical. These two things are in direct contradiction of eachother. If Mr Wizard just liked to mix up the Sunday slot games, then Melee wouldn't have been on Sunday for its entire tenure at EVO.

At this point you've simply used up your (You)s from me. I'm not going to listen to a word you have to say about "making sense" when you make statements like this that are literally internally nonsensical in and of themselves.

>>383838947

While this is true, you say it as if it's a good thing. The FGC only tolerates smash because of it's size and the money it brings in, that says a lot about smash and it's community.

>>383840972
That it's a ton of people all looking for a piece of the pie but instead keep getting bested by the same 5 people?

>>383840972
Nobody is tolerating anybody.
Both communities hate each other, but EVO brings a lot of exposure to smash and Smash brings a lot of money to EVO.
Thats the end of the deal.

From a meleefag side, EVO is the worst major of the year. It has no doubles tournament, its bo3 until top 3 ( making top 32 extremely fraudulent), and the venue is overpriced.

Frankly smash is there for that EVO prestige and fresh blood exposure (which really grows the scene) but thats about it.

>>383825449
this would be amazing actually. Shroomed was the only reason I watched smash n splash top 8

>>383840775
Nope. Sin's gonna win it all (again). With any luck you'll see some Johnnys and Sols at top 8 but Machaboo is just so much better they might just mail him the trophy already.

>>383840972
kek, "the FGC"

You shitters on reddit and twitch chat aren't "the FGC" and "the FGC" doesn't "tolerate" shit anyway since that implies they have any fucking say in the matter whatsoever. Smash is more popular than every FGC game outside of Street Fighter. Pretending anyone "tolerates" a community that fucking dwarfs their shitty anime fighter is hilarious.

If the entire FGC (the actual players, not shitters on the internet) decided they hated Smash and wanted it out of EVO and CEO, they'd be fuck out of luck, because the organizers love it. They don't tolerate it, they have to fucking accept it up their ass whether they like it or not.

Even the FightCade and other online oldschool emulator community is more present on your mustard race machine.

you said dissidia twice

I really hope Kayo and the ARMS tranny show up, i'm usually very anti-degenerate but i love those two

>the Sm4sh community is more concerned with personalities than the game itself
Sounds more like the Melee community, to be quite honest. Melee fanatics are constantly fellating over the 5 "gods" known as Armada, Hungrybox, Leffen, and Mew2King, and the Tangerine that constantly wins it all.

>>383847312
ARMS tranny?

>>383847340
Did you read the post?

Do you know what Civil War was?

Do you have anything other than "I know you are but what am I" tier shitposting instead of constructive content when literally no one in that post chain even mentioned Melee once?

at leat they nerfed the damage. epyon could kill an unit by the end of the first attack cancelling combo ended.
GVGN+ was fun

Um.... reverse image search? You know that a feature of 4chan X right? I suppose a /r/kappa cuck like you wouldn't know, huh?

The good fighting games are too niche and hard.
The popular fighting games are pure garbage.
Will DBZ save the genre?

I only watch games with a high skill ceiling, 0-frames input buffer, 200+ APM minimum, actual mind games; like the one and only Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube. None of that FGCuck crap.

Fuck off FGCucks

At least I'll get to watch finals

I don't know if I've ever been less hype for an EVO. Other than wanting to see how Gief does this season I find nothing all that much I'm looking forward to. I guess there's the small chance that may arise that someone other than Hbox and Armada may win Melee, and Injustice 2 and Tekken can still be good background watches (to me), but unless something unexpected happens this feels like it's gonna be any other weekend.

Maybe something cool will happen though. I'll still tune into BB, GG, KOF, MvC, but I'm not all that invested in them. Still fun to watch though if nothing else is seeming all that exciting. At least Sunday has a long break period before SFV.

I want him to win so bad, but face it anon were just gonna get Armada vs Hbox again

>Smash towers above the FGC in terms of numbers
So what, should EVO start selling tickets to Call of Duty and League of Legends? Because that would multiply the scene by a large amount.

>>383846645
Know where I can watch the game being played? They have a stream anywhere?
