Lost Fragment

Obsessed with 4chan
I haven't played it yet because I've been cracking on Path of Exile, but from watching PR Rog's stream, the 2013 patch seems like its done wonders for SFxT's watchability.

That's good. I was worried that SFxT was gonna be an albetross around the neck of the IPL deal.
 
I would go as far as saying that no other OST in gaming comes close.

Plus it's theme >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Melee's theme. Sorry Smedwicks.

I was going to post the Brawl theme but figured to post Melee's since it won and feared Brawl backlash.

I Yomi'd myself :(
 
Smash > SFxT

Definitely.

Brawl has the best ost of all time

YUUUUUUP.

Yoshi and Kirby tracks alone could demolish 99 percent of what's out there.

Melee > 3S, CvS2 and MvC2

Because people are still playing Melee while they have stopped playing the so called EVO classics.

Not for those reasons but I agree.

Also, Link. I really hope adult Link is completely broke this time around, needs his shine. Despite being on Brawl, toon Link was fun, and young Link was cool enough.

I think there is a Kuwait event coming up soon because Justin said he is going to that this week.

Does anyone know how many donations Watson got for super arcade?

It was over 6k the last time I saw it. Also posted a picture of a UHaul van so I guess they got some cabs back.
 
Melee > 3S, CvS2 and MvC2

Because people are still playing Melee while they have stopped playing the so called EVO classics.

Well, the Smash community rejected their sequel while the Capcom community accepted theirs. If Smash got a competent sequel, you beat your ass Melee is getting dropped.
