Why cry about Marvel if you remember last year everyone complain of the unwatchable level of gameplay in the preliminary rounds. While AE preliminary round were much more entertaining.

 

[Beelzebub]

This high level smash play is so sweet

 

[Diablohead]

Just got home, smash is streaming

 

[TheChits]

Ultrachen!

 

[JeTmAn81]

This flute music on the Yoshi stage is mellowing me out, man. That's the wrong vibe. And UltraChen's on the main stream.

 

[chrono01]

Stream 1 finally live.

 

[RTSD]

IT ULLLLLTRRRAA DAVVVUUUUUUIIIIOOOOOOO......!!!

 

[SloaneRisette]

A bunch of people with 8 am pools were still waiting in line and Wizard had to get a bunch of them.

Tournament Standard Time forever.

Is this normal speed Melee? I mean, I know advanced tactics will speed up your game, but this much??

This is why there's such a schism between the competitive players and more casual ones re: what the optimal speed for a new Smash game should be. (It's much like, say, playing VS normally vs Turbo 3.)

 

[Tizoc]

Gah I meant to ask: What mIRC channel are you guys using atm?

 

[Revven]

Is this normal speed Melee? I mean, I know advanced tactics will speed up your game, but this much??

The players currently playing aren't even the top echelon of play. This is normal insofar for slightly lower end on the spectrum of high level players.

KEEP WATCHING, in other words.

 

[Anth0ny]

17,410 watching Melee pools

AE pools are always entertaining because you see character variety, same for Marvel but Marvel is loaded with frauds in pools and frauds stand out way more in that game IMO

 

[TheThunder]

Oh god, so Chen will be on Sunday for SF4

Even though I expected it, its still disappointing.

 

[Busaiku]

Let's go Yume!

[140.85]

[dmr87]

[Thing on a Spring]

[Unlucky]

I also don't know much about advanced Melee. Who picks the stage?

 

[RTSD]

omg im so hype to see some sick cammy/seth/vergil!!!

 

[Rocwell]

Welp, there goes any opportunity for me getting anything done this weekend.

 

[SuperSamyon]

Are these streams being rebroadcast on a non gaming site? My work's firewall won't let me connect to Twitch.tv.

 

[Urban Scholar]

Persona!!!!!

 

[Dr.Hadji]

Dang. Non top Melee players look like they close their eyes when edgeguarding. Like they're running through a routine and not even watching whats going on.

 

[Anth0ny]

I also don't know much about advanced Melee. Who picks the stage?

The first game, players take turns eliminating each of the five legal stages until they narrow it down to one they both agree on. Next game the stage is chosen by the loser.

 

[Lost Fragment]

Already like 45k viewers across all 3 streams. Damn.

 

[Revven]

I also don't know much about advanced Melee. Who picks the stage?

First match is stricken to on the Random Stage Select screen 1-2-2-1 order, second match loser counterpicks a stage and winner can ban a stage, winner can switch characters before loser picks their character.

That's the gist of it.

 

[RTSD]

OMG Nidhogg, I played that like 3 years ago at my school

 

[smiggyRT]

Been waiting ages for this EVO,. Me and friends have been playing a fair few fighting games this year so hopefully I can tell what's going on better, at least in SF and MK. I still have no idea what happens in MvC even after playing it for a decent amount of time.

Smoke uppercuts What in the ****

MarkMan announcing he's going to marry Kadey before SFIV grand finals

 

[Anteo]

The first game, players take turns eliminating each of the five legal stages until they narrow it down to one they both agree on. Next game the stage is chosen by the loser.

The current ruleset for Evo is 5 stages choices for the first stage, 6 choices for the other fights?

Smoke uppercuts What in the ****

It's 80% of his strategy.

 

[atomic moth]

lol smash 5k more views than other streams

lol UltraDavid and Markman 1k more viewers than anything

 

[galvatron]

OMG @ dat stick price.

EDIT: WE GOT SHOUT OUTS!

 

[unreon]

I also don't know much about advanced Melee. Who picks the stage?

There are five neutral stages. Players will rock/scissors/paper or flip a coin to decide who bans first. Assuming P1 wins the toss, they take turns to ban stages in the order: P1>P2>P2>P1

The leftover stage becomes their "agreed upon" stage for the first match.

After first match, all five stages (EDIT: plus the one counter-pick stage Pokemon Stadium, for total of six stages) are up for selection once again. The winner gets to select ONE stage that the loser is NOT allowed to pick. The loser then selects from the remaining four (EDIT: five) to play Match 2.

Repeat for Match 3.

Hope that helps!
