Also, the winner of CM also won Marvel last year, so Dios X is clearly the favourite.

Hopefully I make the stream and some of you guys can check out my matches!

Sad Combofiend can't play. I want that Nova/Spencer/Hawkeye hype.

 

[crimzonflame]

Just hoping it doesnt end so late like last year.

Lowest stream numbers in EVO history confirmed.

 

[Dachande]

Urgh, Skullgirls top 8 on Saturday 8PM? That's like 4AM for me, there's no way I'll be able to stay up to watch that.

Watch it get lower stream numbers because of non-US fans not being able to stay up for it and get loads of people screaming about the game being dead...

[Natural]

Hype. Didn't realise it was so soon, kinda came out of nowhere.

 

[TWILT]

Ah, I remember when my GAF account finally got approved at last year's Evo.

Hyped for Marvel, AE, Melee, and P4A!

If I were the one organizing the Skullgirls side tourney I would have just pointed my middle finger at the EVO organizers and finished the game earlier in the day without any stream.

 

[_dazed]

KOFXIII: Haregoro, Kaoru or KouKou

Overall hoping that the same players as last year don't win again, would be kind of boring.

hah hes in my bracket

Spoiler

I won't beat him

The only thing I really want to see is the crowd's reaction to Chris G getting destroyed by someone's hidden anti morridoom tech kept in the fridge just for EVO.

Boooo.

Are there any other strong Zangief players entered that might make top 32 other than Vance?
I guess Flash might use him as a counterpick....

Skullgirls is like the VF comm in that they'll try to expose their game under any circumstance, just believing that this time people will come, though they never do.

Those two comms are my favorite communities.

 

[Haunted]

I want to see some solid GAF representation on stream this year. Give us someone to support and be hype about on streams.

 

[Lambda Pie]

no stream for TTT2 pools? *flips table*

other than that i'm ok with the schedule.

special presentation is Fighting Layer 2 exclusive for PS4.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

I would pay for the higher qualitylike I did last year, but now that the EU Twitch servers are crapping out I am not so sure.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

LevelUpLIVE has a practice session on at the moment. Mike Ross has grown a moustache. It is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

 

[Takamura-San]

Can't wait for this.

At the same time, the schedule won't hold.

At least there is a chance that i won't miss marvel. I will have to watch AE the next day.

I always figured most of the hyperbolic monsters were American.

I've been under the impression that most of us fans just wig the fuck out any chance we get and the attention/looks are just this pleasant by-product. It's a bit different from the art scene that sprouted around the game and the tournament players that actually do the travelling. The only thing uniting us is this burning passion to toss our money into the raging inferno that is SG.

Weird stuff

 

[Dachande]

I always figured most of the hyperbolic monsters were American.

The 'problem' with the SG community is that it's very online-based, and as such I reckon it has a high international quota. That's where I think the timing for this tournament stream is going to hurt it.

Salty Cupcakes has a similar problem. It's always far too late and starts at like 4AM here, so I catch perhaps the last 20 minutes of it when I wake up the morning and that's it.

I'm always amazed by how many people are still tuning in at 3AM EST. It maxes out at something like 1k and it sits at 700 at 3AM. These people are nuts.

Oh, and this streaming schedule totally works for Japan. Apparently SG finals will be at 1PM in Tokyo.

 

[theowne]

Who I think will win AE: Infiltration
Who I want to win AE: Xian

 

[pixelish]

Boooo.

Are there any other strong Zangief players entered that might make top 32 other than Vance?

I think Itabashi Zangief will be attending EVO. He's a top Zangief player from Japan.

My predictions for Top 8 AE:
Daigo
Infiltration
Gamerbee
Sako
Fuudo
JWong
A Cammy player (Xiao Hai or Alioune)
PR Rog

Will Win: Daigo
Could Win: Infiltration/Fuudo
Should Win: Sako
Dark horses: Human Bomb, Xian, Ryan Hart, Louffy, Dieminion (lol)

Tasty Steeve is playing? looooool

 

[Takamura-San]

Has Daigo showed any significant improvement to merit all this faith in him?

 

[pixelish]

Has Daigo showed any significant improvement to merit all this faith in him?

He's hungry for a win as you can see from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA15tO99T_4

Also, he hasn't been traveling to international tournaments a lot as he has been in the lab practising his timings on PS3.

 

[Lambda Pie]

i hope Eddy Pistons and Aris get eliminated early so they can do commentary.

 

[LordJim]

Has Daigo showed any significant improvement to merit all this faith in him?

Aside from recent performances in Topanga league and charity tourney which were very stellar, him specifically training in PS3 consoles and not attending XBOX events for the sake of EVO prep and making it to top 8 from winner's side for 4 straight years?

Hasn't done a thing to make people consider him a viable contender, no

 

[Doomshine]

no stream for TTT2 pools? *flips table*

other than that i'm ok with the schedule.

The Tekken community is in talks with Commando/IEBattlegrounds to stream some pool play. He's up for it, but it's going to take some work so nothing is set in stone yet.

 

[Venfayth]

I'll be there! Pretty much only playing AE, but looking forward to it.

 

[toddhunter]

I'll be there! Pretty much only playing AE, but looking forward to it.

Best of luck

 

[ILoveBish]

Went to evo 2010 and 2012, skipping out this year due to overly strict training discipline. But will be streaming monstering for sure. My biggest hope is for Nemo to get top 8 in marvel.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hyped for this weekend!

 

[KidA Seven]

Has Daigo showed any significant improvement to merit all this faith in him?

Daigo is Daigo. He doesn't need significant improvement.

 

[SolarPowered]

Daigo is Daigo. He doesn't need significant improvement.

He has a long way to go if your gifs are any indication. Dude hasn't even gone Super Saiyan yet.

 

[Lambda Pie]

The Tekken community is in talks with Commando/IEBattlegrounds to stream some pool play. He's up for it, but it's going to take some work so nothing is set in stone yet.

so they gonna stream SCV and TTT2? i'm ok with that.

how many entrants for the side SCV tourny?

 

[jett]

aw yea
