EVO 2013 Melee Info Dump! - FINAL DAY: TOP 8 STARTING AT NOON: http://www.twitch.tv/srkevo1

Is Marvel worth getting into? I read the game has some serious problems that Capcom both can't and doesn't want to fix... though it looks fun. :/

 

[lordvaati]

Shuma Hype!!

There's some infinites but people generally have come to accept those in Marvel (mostly because it's part of tradition by now for the franchise). Aside from that, it really boils down to balancing issues such as Zero and such.

 

[Mithost]

Speaking of Marvel, they currently have around 20k less viewers than smash. Obviously, marvel fans are complaining

 

[ph00tbag]

The problems with Marvel's punish game are really part of why people like the game, so there's not really any reason to fix them. But I think Capcom has an interest in fixing neutral game problems like Zero.

stream monsters gonna stream monster
then again they still have several matches to go, i think melee had less during winner's semis

 

[Ussi]

Marvel is fine to watch. Frustrating to play when you lose a character in 1 combo :\ (its not fun when you are new to the game)

 

[All_Characters]

Can't really compare stream numbers. They probably won't hit as many people as melee, mainly because Europe is asleep, and East Coast has to get up for work tomorrow morning, will probably hurt the viewers later in the stream.

 

[Mithost]

I'm not 100% sure. It's still something to think about.

I hear some rumors that EVO officials are thinking of bringing melee back next year?

that's street fighter that gets bodied by time zones, but yeah

 

[Giygacoal]

Is training stage mandatory? Doesn't say so in the ruleset, but it's what they're using.

But yeah, Capcom needs to get its legal s*** together if it's going to do Marvel 4. No more "licensing issues" that hold back the game.

 

[smashmachine]

BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE CLOUD

 

[ph00tbag]

The implication has been that they're open to having Melee in next year.

At the very least, they could try to put in smash four and actually listen to the Smash Community for input on the ruleset.

 

[Blistering Speed]

Look at Armada's face. Is that the face of a man content with retiring?

 

[smashmachine]

FRAUD CHAMP JUST GOT OMNISLASHED /kappa

It's not mandatory, but no one likes to play there, so Training Stage is where everyone goes.

 

[t3h Icy]

Shhhh, don't give context.

 

[Mithost]

On top of that, I hear that in the PS3 version, other stages can lag.

 

[smashmachine]

evo 2013
where we root for a dude playing Zero and Vergil
HELL YEAH

 

[ph00tbag]

Our Lord, Christ Geezus, please bless us and bestow up on us a bounty of SOUL FIST. In your name we pray, Amen.

but can Chris G handle the power of the Cloud

 

[The Real Gamer]

Look at Armada's face. Is that the face of a man content with retiring?

Short answer: no

Long answer: Hell no

 

[ScubaF_ingSteve]

Guys can someone get a gif of mango beating armada, jumping whilst taking off his shirt. I want that to be my new reaction gif for about everything

 

[ph00tbag]

That was the closes **** I've ever seen. Good ****, Jwong.

 

[Mithost]

I don't watch marvel nor play it very often, but that was hype. I wanna pick up marvel now D:

 

[BSP]

Never give up.

 

[smashmachine]

wong factor vs the power of the cloud in losers semis
who saw that coming

 

[goodnight_goodfight]

i think its fair to say armada should be considered the best from 2011 - apex 2013. and upon armada's retirement, armada being considered equal with mango as best players in smash given armada still has beaten him more times.

unfortunately armada did not win evo, if he had, he would be considered the undisputed best of all time no questions asked.

saltybox! good **** wobbles

has the fire been rekindled? perhaps.

 

[Habefiet]

Am I really the only guy who thinks Armada looks bored as **** rather than particularly salty

 

[goodnight_goodfight]

m2k should have went puff against hbox for his best chance of winning

 

[smashmachine]

m2k should have went young link against hbox for his best chance of winning

yeah i know

damn wong factor, i think flocker has this though

 

[ph00tbag]

Justin Wong refuses to go home.

 

[BSP]

Never give up.

Insane

 

[noobird]

honestly mango WRECKED that loser's bracket but WOBBLEZ beating hbox was SO HYPE.

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

Tore up a little bit at the "One more year" chant at the end

Wish I was there to spam it on stream chat

 

[.Ðempt]

Anyone know what the prizes were for whoever placed/if there even was anything? Haven't seen any discussion about this so I'm curious.

Evo had a pretty sick opening for Melee.

That opening was so incredible; it should be like the alternate (or new) Melee opening.

I came so close to bursting into tears when the entire EVO crowd started chanting one more year, we should all be really proud after what we have done and congrats to Mango and everyone else who attended

It was the most beautiful moment in regards to a video game tournament I have ever seen, heard, or felt in my life. It was really moving.

If I was there at Evo guys... man tears might have been shed. That was a truly inspiring event, especially after all of the Melee competitive scene has been through!

Smash bros community we did it. We finally did it. We actually did it. Congratulations guys! Now let's get to training and DO MORE MELEE!!!

#MeleeNeverDies

 

[~automatic]

Does anybody have the EVO 2007 DVD? There's an interview on that DVD with Mango after getting 3rd place but it's not on YouTube.

 

[mixa]

Yes, I wanna see that interview too.
