Just noticed SCV is missing from this list. So is Skullgirls.

Edit: Or he just listed top 5. Nevermind.

I had a great controversial post, but you took so long that I now forgot it. Fuck you ENZO! I hope Red Rapper is played wherever you go.

Rad, will keep an eye out. With my new job catching any west coast streams during the week is out of the question time-wise, so the only thing I'm consistently watching is Big Two but I'm not even watching most of that anymore (usually just AE and Marvel up to top 3 on both).

Namco at the very top of its game. Played lots of Dark Souls, SCV and TTT2 today. Three of the best titles this generation has to offer.

I think Crucifixion is misspelled? Unless I'm missing a reference to something, which is entirely possible, because I'm old.

Yes. Yes it is. I even looked up the spelling too to make sure it was right and still misspelled it. FML it's late.

Can a mod fix that please?

Gonna head to bed before I cause any other catastrophes.

The division between "Anime games" and other fighting games is maybe one of the most artificial things this scene has going, and there's a LOT of artificiality going on.

What was the peak number of viewers during Marvel? And go Niners, I'd rather not live in a world where Joe Flacco is considered a elite QB. And I was born in NorCal, so it's OK for me to bandwagon the Niners.

I just wanted to pop in to say Southern California Regionals had some really awesome sets.

Good stuff. I should keep closer track of this thread.

28-29k I think? I'm not sure if it passed 30k, it might have. SF4 had 30k+, but I think that was because most people hadn't gone to sleep yet.

The joke is anime = games that are 2d air dasher games.

When darkstalkers comes back if it does, that game will be an anime fighter all the way.

And yes Marvel is an anime game :p

Any game that comes from Darkstalkers heritage is an anime fighter

Ultra Chen said 30k +. I was in full screen for most of the night though so I can't confirm. Or they said lets get this to 30k...

Joe Flacco has a shitty game, but Ray Lewis comes out with 20+ tackles a force fumble, and a INT. Ravens win... Ray gets MVP.

That's my best hope.

Chris G will always be a Reptile player to me as that's when I first heard of him.

And that's why I can't hate on him. CHOMP CHOMP HISS

Apologies then. I guess Marvel cleared SFIV by 2k viewers at its peak. I didn't see the view count clear 29 all throughout top 4, but it musta peaked at 32k before Apology Man finally got his run ended.

SCR was pretty hype. I really enjoyed seeing Apologyman do his thing and Marlinpie as well. Seriously considering building a team around Frank now.
