Melee 4 EVO. There's your controversial post.

It would be a good addition. Better than the other options, at least.

It's a motto for a football team. So freaking clever huh?

Well if it's a Harbowl then at least either you or CrimzonFlame will be happy, now that me and Rice-Eater are in the suicide club. That's what I'm going for anyways....

I am not kidding when I say that I've barely seen any Mahvel since EVO 2012. This was one of my biggest pet peeves about Chris G's Morrigan play. He constantly tried to aerial exchange into Doom and it really messed with his momentum against smart players. It was so good watching him play again without any unnecessary exchanges.

If you run Doom second, it's kind of expected that you'll TAC into him. Now that ChrisG has his Vergil team he doesn't need to do that anymore.

Bet you 30 days, winners choice that you do

I also predict MLP isn't getting any donations right now and will not get any more after a couple of initial joke ones. If Melee can raise a couple of million to balance out Kadey they are in.

Nothing surprising here, I am not sure what F Champ was thinking when he tried to use Dorm/Doom/Phoenix against Chris G. He might as well swapped out Dorm for Thor who'll probably make a better meat shield.

Donate $160 and it'll be in the top 10!

Who knew MLP fans had so much money laying around...

And I don't see why MLP being taken out is BS. They talked with the guys making the game, and it seems likely that this was their request.

This is.. interesting. Strange, even. The rapper parodies got me, and I even think it's catchy. That first chick tho >>> *.

I may have not been completely focused, but how was there no WSHH in the entire video?

Yeah, I understand why it had to be done, don't get me wrong. Still sucks, though.

Read the article, still can't believe it. Skullgirls is coming for Melee's head with this recent change. Also, how the hell did MLP get that kinda sponsoring that quickly? I sense trolling, but knowing that this could all be legit just leaves me going "wat.son".

Of course it is trolling. 3000 trolls with $1 each would do it and the fgc has no shortage of supply.

If you can believe the transparency of these figures...
