Haven't seen the top8 yet because Europe, but it would have to be completely, absurdly insane to have a hope of topping Big House 4.

BRUH

Someone used Falco's shine intentionally to clash with the most immaculately spaced Fox upsmash punish ever after recovering onto the stage with Falco Phantasm (side B).

Leffen took home most of the tournament's souls despite the one true Smash Tournament protagonist taking the whole thing.
Spoiler:
PPMD Kreygasm

And a Marth won. Scratch that, a Marth circa the year MMxx took the tournament. Come to think of it, there were two 20xx Marfs in this tournament. PewPewU really deserves applause for his perfomance versus Hungrybox.

Where's the moral outrage for the KOF stabbings in Hong Kong? Isn't this the paragonic event of the FGC not just tipping, but outright knocking the whole PH scale into acerbic territory? Did Alstein forgo an opportunity to demonstrate just how dangerous FG culture singularity is? And that it's best to stay home and peek through the venetians (whilst they cast parted shadows on a lone Virtua Fighter 4 cab in the background of his apartment, noir-style) until the snake eats its own rattle?


...huh.
What moral outrage? Everyone agrees that stabbings are deplorable and shouldn't happen under any circumstance.

Where can I get some quality footage of Wii Fit Trainers and Meta Knights?
Best resource for finding specific characters/matchups: https://vods.co/

Definitely keep an eye on it for whenever Paragon and especially Apex vids start going up. Apex is the first really huge Smash 4 event, so footage from that will probably expand the breadth by a lot.

Edit:
Final Battle top 8 was a lot better than Apex top 8, and had a deeper field than Paragon
lol m2k
Forgot all about that one! I saw it and kind of ignored it, thinking it would just be a tease before Apex. Which, I still haven't gotten to go back and watch top 8 of either.
 
See, I don't agree, because it has positive implications for the American FGC and shows the hilarious lack of perspective some people have regarding its recent "issues".

But I'll drop it, because I know judges will drop their gavel just because their arm is getting tired.

Do we even know what happened apart from there being a stabbing that took place in the arcade?

125k for melee i believe, 96ish for sm4sh

I thought I read earlier that it was 115k for melee? In any case, the grand finals for melee was at 93k.
 
yeah might have been closer to 115k . it was late at night and i wasn't at my full capacity after those riveting pacman/rosalina matchups

PP played out of his mind but I was really rooting for Leffen. The bad guy will have his time in the sun again.

Just caught Mango's post-Apex interview, apparently he and Leffen agreed to put another $1000 on the line the next time they meet in tournament. XD I like this rivalry.

Apparently the dude might've died?


now if it was Marvel.. I could understand but..over kof?


Seriously though, I hope the guy will make it.

Not sure he was in risk of dying so much as Mr. Fruit Knife saw the blood and thought he might have killed him.

This isn't the first time I heard about violence happening over KoF in China. Don't know if the other stuff I heard is true, but it isn't the first time :/

From the pictures, no matter where he got hit, he could have died from bleeding if the wound wasn't taken care of in time.

Evo registration is up it looks like. 70 bucks for the 3 day package then 10 per game it looks like. No shirt either. >=(

How is EVO as a spectator event? Was considering not entering anything tbh.

And what's the difference between the two Hotel's: Bally's and Paris?

It's a good spectator event if you enjoy watching fighting game matches.

Ballys' and Paris are in the same complex but Bally's Indigo/North tower should be closer to the venue.

Ok, cool.

Also, what would be a good time to schedule a flight leaving from LV after checking out: Morning or Afternoon?
As you might guess I've never scheduled flights before. :p

WTF happened to LiquidKen? I remember a time when Ken was THE Marth.

...it was around 8 years ago

He retired, went on Survivor, ran a food truck, came back, doesn't really go to tournaments outside of majors anymore, doesn't really have a top Melee and Smash 4 person to practice against like Zero and M2K have against each other.

I'm honestly wondering if Team Liquid will keep him beyond this year.
 
Looking into getting PS4 money, and I realized I can sell my old 360 TE Fightstick for around $200 on Amazon. I know I haven't used it forever (I don't even have Live anymore) and I'll never use it in the future, but it still makes me sad :'(

Hopefully something good comes out with SFV.
