Much respect to EVO. These guys are making a ton of good moves right now.

I agree, and, with 8 games and a half, I'm almost sure we'll have THREE streams, only two will not do it

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Sorry to interrupt the cereal talk, but this is probably worth discussing:

So instead of having a tournament with prize money at EVO shown on the stream...they are going to have a tournament with prize money at EVO shown on the stream.

lol just name it the 9th game

good on EVO though. Happy to see the Skullgirls community get rewarded for their effort as well

 

["God's Beard!"]

The one EVO I might not be able to make, and it's looking better than 2011 :-(

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So the only guys holding that L at EVO are Virtua Fighter fans, all two of 'em

Spoiler

sorry Tekno

 

[crimzonflame]

Man I hope those KOF on Steam rumors are true.

 

[Stabby McSter]

EVO is stacked this year.

 

[Professor Beef]

Looks like Skullgirls is getting MLP: Fighting is Magic's promised on-stage/stream exhibition!

NOW I'm mad. :|

Scar is doing another episode of The Smash Lab, not sure what he's going to cover but last he had it scheduled it was for more Teams match analysis with Alukard and stuff.

Either way, you can catch it on here: http://www.twitch.tv/bobby_scar if you want to learn what the general thought processes are of players in Melee. Or just want to learn in general on how to improve yourself as a player.

Not sure if he's doing these weekly or not, but so far it's looking that way. I'm going to wait a bit before saying to include it in the OP. This is only Episode 2, Episode 1 was last week and was pretty insightful to say the least.

Episode 1 is here if you didn't see it

Anyway, yeah, he's live now actually as I was typing this out LOL.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Cant speak for all forums, but the sfxt section of shoryuken forums is pretty dry on discussion and I want updated info and conversation about sfxt characters. Is there anywhere I can go for that?

Hm? VF was never a contender for EVO 2013. Do you mean ST?

ST will have it's own tournament again.

Yay

I hope they do this donation drive thing next year with an expanded two slots. EVO would be just PERFECT with six slots and two "player's choice" games.

NOW I'm mad. :|

Tekno, riposte, and uh

that other guy

Fuudo, I think?

 

[Riposte]

I'm pretty sure all VF5 fans are settling for that Sega sponsored cup.

EDIT: Otherwise LA Akira would have sold his house in order to win the donation drive.

Wow that's way more than I expected. At this rate, VF6 will be at EVO3030.

And UMvC3 still won't have an update.

Please, someone who plans to enter Skullgirls at EVO: enter your tag as "Professor Beef"

 

[KingItachi]

Can't wait for the Sega cup.

Hungry Hungry Hippos? Might as well throw me and Western in there for the Football grudge match part of it.

 

[Azure J]

So we got Melee and Skullgirls in the end?

Life is sweet.

 

[Lulubop]

Rog with some UMvC3 today. Running that vanilla team.

Me and Panda vs You and Beef.

Why not? TAG TEAM

P.S How does CrimzonFlame get away when his team ended up beating your team? And how does Big Randel get away when he beat me? This is bull shit 3v3!

Beef, Rice, Rande11 vs Panda, Crimzon, Myself.

Edit :
Panda, Rice, Rande11 vs Beef, Crimzon, Myself.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I want to be on Rice-Eater's team since I also consume rice.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Sure why not. I'll take Beef. But we probably kill each other more than you guys but fuck it!

Beef and I would be like Rock N Sock. Most unlikely team ever... and once it's over we go back to beating each other up.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Scratch Triple H then, we'll play Twister instead. Better work on your flexibility guys.

Fishstix is going to be on The Fray this week to talk about it. Hope they let Honzo on.

 

[Busaiku]

So Skullgirls fares off far better than Super Smash Bros Melee did.
Super Smash Bros Melee isn't at any Road to Evo qualifier, but as a result of the drive, Skullgirls is now a main game at 2 of them, in addition to being added as a main game to some Super Smash Bros event, as well as Da Beach.

Actually it's going to be at WB so maybe they are going to be the only one on the Road to EVO to do it.

Western throws in the towel. We've won Panda, everybody can go home now.

Just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean I'm giving up. Silly rabbit. We doing this shit no matter what!

Any reason why it isn't at UFGT? I've heard about why CEO is passing on this, but not much else.

I really see problems ahead for twitch as streaming becomes mainstream. Everybody is going to want their piece of the pie.

Smash should be the final game of the mystery tournament...with items on very high...and only the most "chaotic" ones.

It's definitely going to be at WB and it can still be at NCR since details of that tournament wasn't really announced

It wouldn't necessarily need to be the final game, but I like it.

 

[Revven]

Actually, it's not set on if Skullgirls will be at Genesis 3. That is just something that some members of the forums were talking about. The TOs haven't openly said they're going to include it.

At this point, given the circumstances, I wouldn't hold my breath for it to happen because of logistics: Genesis 3 is and always has been a Smash major with some international attendance. It all depends on venue size and the amount of interest there is from SG players.

So basically, it's not guaranteed to happen.

Also, Winter Brawl might have Melee. And NCR hasn't confirmed or announced anything, so that's up in the air as well afaik (if it has, link me lol). Melee could very well be at NCR... after all, there is a pretty big Melee scene in NorCal and SoCal. I'm not getting my hopes up or anything, due to logistics etc for NCR but yeah.
