Checking some Smash people on twitter. Seems like they found enough setups

It seems more like people just haven't checked in yet. I think its pretty funyn that people were calling out the Smash community for nothing though lol

 

[jbug617]

So that guy I just posted had posted they had 16 setups ready (minimum needed) but he erased the tweet because he wants people to bring more setups.

 

[Duxxy3]

Ps3 is the standard system and Sony is a sponsor. That's why there are no gamecubes or Wii's.

 

[jaz013]

So, in the end, they screw up and decide to try to pin on Nintendo the whole mess-up.

Also, sponsored by Sony. Fascinating.

 

[Tan]

Well that was resolved quickly.

Woops.

Well I'm sure they'll get what they need.

 

[Zoramon089]

Is there a reason why they are playing GCN and not a later game? Are other Smash games trash?

Exactly how many Smash games do you think there are after Melee...

 

[ReiGun]

Sounds like some people who were bringing setups flaked at the last minute. :/

wait. you guys arent playing Kerfuffle?

they planned to play a later game, but tripped up on the way

 

[jbug617]

Everything is all set. They got 19 setups.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I see what you did there

what are you talking about

who is blaming nintendo

relax

It can be hard to predict these kinds of issues.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Did that one release before or after Tussle?

 

[ZoddGutts]

Where's those Gamecube Hut's when you need them.

 

[VariantX]

Ps3 is the standard system and Sony is a sponsor. That's why there are no gamecubes or Wii's.

I'm pretty sure switching sticks/controllers is also a hassle with 360's unlike with PS3 too.

 

[SporeCrawler]

They could use wiius now right?

 

[AhmazingArab]

Sounds like Evo is run by amateurs. They have been doing this long enough to know what's up.

Evo doesn't provide the equipment for melee. The community was supposed to bring to the equipment.

 

[Shimesaba]

16 setups in. It should be clear by now that Melee is going to run whatever problem comes its way.

Not backward compatible with Gamecube, I think.

Holy shit some of those look tiny. It's good they've got everything though.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing. There are a couple more on the way, though, so hopefully they won't have to use the tiniest ones there.

Technically, it can.

tiny tv's. . . sitting far too close to each other just to see, then all the reflection glare. *shudders*/

 

[Kyzon]

It's great that they got everything. I was going to wake up early and bring one of my GCN's if need be. Good thing the weather died down here for the players. Everyone would have died on the way from the airport if it was still 117 like the past few weeks.

Edit: Are these all TV's they could fit in a carry on compartment of the plane? lol

 

[Fox Mulder]

Lol, those are some tiny ass tvs.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

You'd still be stuck with shitty wireless controllers, though.

 

[Resilient]

Bunch of dumbasses can't even get the logistics right after all these months.

lmao. So true.

 

[Poltergust]

And all wireless controllers are banned at EVO.

 

[Westlo]

What a joke, hope his is the final time they get evo

 

[DJ88]

 

[GamerSoul]

Glad they got the tvs. I guess the small t.v.'s may help with the lag? I don't know lol.

 

[Poltergust]

Overreacting a little bit here, don't you think?

Playing on modern TVs lags the game to the point of being unplayable. Same thing for the other Smash games, too.

 

[baphomet]

Smash community not understand the simple instructions so they have equipment to play on?

 

[QisTopTier]

Wut

 

[VariantX]

Welp, never mind then.

 

[KillerTravis]

Just find some Wiis, they can probably find one under the couch.

 

[ReiGun]

Asking around, this is apparently pretty normal for Smashers: don't have TVs > freak > TVs appear. lol

I really think it was just a case of people arriving late combined with some flaking. A setback, but nothing major. Hopefully, they'll be willing to donate some of those TVs and cubes for future use by Evo.

lol this isn't some huge conspiracy to make nintendo look bad. all the fighting games there besides smash can be run on ps3's so they do. they didn't want to spend a ton of money buying gamecubes/wiis and crt tv's just for this tournament so they asked the smash community for help. sounds like they came through so no need to bash them.

 

[KillerTravis]

Solution: Tournament fee waived if you bring something?



Not all Wii are backwards compatible.

There's only Brawl after Melee, and it's not really competitive material.

 

[GamerSoul]

I think I've heard that along time ago from some guys I use to play Smash with. I wasn't sure anymore. But yea it can be really bad sometimes on modern hd ones but it's crazy how over time and repetition they can notice the smallest changes.

 

[Sandfox]

People play Brawl competitively lol

 

[Alfredo]

Didn't a bunch of equipment get stolen at APEX this year? Seems like Smash Brothers players can't catch a break with this kinda stuff.

 

[QisTopTier]

People play Brawl competitively lol

I prefer it cause I main pikachu lol

 

[thekonamicode]

Bet Reggie will send over some SDTVs and say, "That's all we got" and shrug... and he won't be lying.

Pretty sure competitive Melee is only played on SDTVs, so that would be fine!

 

[QisTopTier]

Pretty cure competitive Melee is only played on SDTVs, so that would be fine!

Pretty cure confirmed for wii u smash

 

[w1gglyjones]

Pretty cure competitive Melee is only played on SDTVs, so that would be fine!

so Nintendo would trip their way onto a win!

are all the other games playing on PS3 hardware? is sony providing the consoles and TVs? smash could have been on PS3... this is why Nintendo should go third party... *ducks*

 

[Shouta]

Aren't GCs really cheap nowadays? I don't know why the organizers wouldn't just pay for those instead of relying on player GCs...

 

[Riposte]

Melee confirmed to the be the game with least input lag at EVO?

 

[w1gglyjones]

Aren't GCs really cheap nowadays? I don't know why the organizers wouldn't just pay for those instead of relying on player GCs...

over/under on $99... lol

 

[Kokonoe]

I strongly doubt that them lacking old CRT TVs in this day and age really effected your decision on either or not Smash should show up at EVO.

Aren't GCs really cheap nowadays? I don't know why the organizers wouldn't just pay for those instead of relying on player GCs...

Gamecubes are like 20-30$, and sometimes cheaper.
