Whilst I cant blame you, the top 8 was great.
I was being facetious.

Waiting for the "SFV is Shit" posts to come flying by.
People are also realizing how bad the game is, so they just lost interest.
Inb4 the eternal wars between haters and defenders take over this thread like all sfv threads.

You guys do realize that this sort of commentary is stupidly counterproductive, right?
You should see that "I think it's time to shed the idea..." thread on SFV. Trolls and actual fly-by shit posting galore.
Are you new to sfv threads. 100% probability that a sfv thread positive or negative will turn to a flame war. Haters attack and fans get mad and flame wars start lol.You guys do realize that this sort of commentary is stupidly counterproductive, right?
Surprised the numbers are up honestly. Not to the quality of SFV just that I figured the novelty worn off.
I didn't know that it getting more viewers on ESPN some how makes the game I don't like, how it plays or anything it's doing, somehow better.

Well technically the numbers and up and down depending on context. The ESPN2 numbers actually declined from last year(180k vs 201k). But since it was being simulcast on Disney XD the overall numbers are up(180k+101k=281k). I'm sure the Disney XD broadcast caused a significant dent to the ESPN2 broadcast. Not like it would have had all 101k extra people. But maybe at least half of that.
Like I said, numbers would have been less with it only being on ESPN2. But I would have actually preferred that to get the biggest number possible from only one channel so people can't say stuff like everybody turned all 4 of their TV's on to both channels.
That's about 500k between the ESPN2, Disney XD, and Twitch steams, not bad. Part of me didn't like the fact that SFV was being simulcast on two different channels. Even if it's less than this year's combined numbers, part of me wanted to see SFV top 8 on only ESPN2 so it could improve over last year's numbers.
Not a big deal but it would have been nice to see at least 250k and a better headline for the article about growth instead of decline.
Like I said, Smash 4 was also aired on there, so it's likely that quite a few viewers (myself included) who wanted to see both just stayed on Disney XD.I think due to the overlap of Disney XD a lot of people chose to watch it on there for some strange reason. Regardless, it's still up 80K from last year on TV and in addition, streams were also up from last year with 235K across both Twitch and YouTube.

They made Cammy wear a dress so I watched GoT instead.

Yeah.Did Season 2 address past issues and improve the game?

other FGs just cant compete
E-League went with Injustice for the next season, right? I wonder how ratings will compare.
OK? I didn't read that thread. I'm just saying that if you're tired of seeing that kind of shitposting, preemptively calling it out is in effect simply inviting more of it.

To put it another way, let's assume I crack my knuckles and decide to clean house in one of these threads. I would just as easily ban you guys for shitpost derails for the "in before" crap as I would people needlessly shitting on Street Fighter V with dumb drive by troll posts. They're all bad posts. "I'll see your bad post and raise you my own" is not how you raise the level of discourse.
280k viewers seems low.
What part of the US did it air during GoT premiere? east coast GoT 9pm to 10pm, first top 8 match didn't start until 10:20pm est...
You know I respect you a lot Steve, so I don't mean to be critical about this. But the kind of frustrated commentary you are seeing is a direct result of a lack of moderation enforcement. I have personally been banned before for "shitposting", so I know it's a thing. While I recognize moderators are not doing this as a full-time job, and you can't get everyone, there's rampant shitposting about SFV in any given thread about the game, and it doesn't seem like any attempts are being made to redirect or curb it.
People wouldn't be making "in before" posts if they weren't tired and frustrated with all of the anti-SFV shitposting that's done.
What other fight game has done better ratings on American television?
I'll wait

It would be awesome if next year they could try to get this on the EPSN main channel.

Admittedly, it's a produced documentary-style program and not live tournament footage, but still.
