Meleefag delusion/salt mine thread

Mr. Wizzard can probably buy the entirety of Mcdonalds with the money he got from French Bread to have UNIST at Evo

>hasn't been on sp when the Argentina meltdown happened
I feel bad for you, desu.

To be honest, BBtag shouldn't be at evo. And GG should've been in instead.

I think they would have kept Melee if it wasn't for the logistical hell of getting CRT TVs and hauling them around just for one game.

What's ZeRo's reaction to this?

I'd rather have GG over babytag.

So was the whole CRT thijg actually a big enough deal?
I'll never fully understand all the ridiculous requirements smash players have for their decades old game

It is a collosal pain in the ass to even get CRTs given no one makes them anymore, and they're heavy as shit on top of it. But not having them means adding a shitload of lag to the setup as the TV runs upscaling calculations before showing you the image.
In reality though it's more because the Melee scene is falling apart, much as Meleefags will tell you otherwise. All the top players are mostly or only playing ultimate, leaving just Armada Mang0 and Hbox to win every single tournament, and by that I mean Hbox to win 90-100% of tournaments. There's no new blood that could even hope to compete on the level of autists who've been wavedashing since launch so the meta's stagnated to just watching Fox get camped out by jiggs on the ledge for 8 fucking minutes while everyone else wobbles for 4th.

Ok two sides of the argument.

>Melee is an old game, it should leave so newer games can get a chance to get a slot.

it's only "sandbox" when you play with a ruleset so autistic that even the autistic creator of the series hates you

Can't melee just have a side tourney?

All these literal who’s of the smash community doesn’t represent us. But I mean if you think your twitter screen caps are the peak of humor please by all means

I’m beginning to think the shitposters are more autistic than the meleefags themselves. This entire shitstorm has proved that the fgc/smash community do not deserve to be taken seriously among the likes of ASSFAGGOTS, CSGO, and even Madden/FIFA. Fucking Overwatch is better than this right now - and that’s a marina trench deep bar to limbo under. Congratulaions, Fighterfags, you are now the laughing stock of competiuve vidya.

melee fags think fighting games started with melee just like final fantasy started at 7

You’re proving his point, user.

You cant have a game be competitive when only 2-3 people keep winning

>smash made evo

what do you expect from retards

is there a fanbase with a bigger victim complex than meleefags?

>Meta eventually falls apart because the game isn't balanced for what you're trying to do with it
>When you get shown the door it's everyone else who's autistic

One thing you've gotta admit is that the melee pros are smart for keeping their game alive for as long as they've done. If everyone moved onto the Next Big Thing, like with normal fighting games a lot of them would be left behind and made irrelevant. It's the same with normal fighting games, for every Daigo and Tokido there's five nobodies who fell into obscurity.

Cease your autism, the patch is coming.

>Some Meleeniggers actually think French bread and SNK have enough money to throw around for bribing people

The chinks that owned them have done so since before KoF XIV was released and they didn't even give them shit for that, otherwise they wouldn't have mentioned having a shit budget for it.

Don't bother trying to reason in a sea of shitposting.

It was a repost, you're not very smart.

You're literally in the same boat since everyone was just as glad not to see Marvel at EVO last year.

Post the original

The only problems with these adapters is that they can be a bit pricey ($85 or so at minimum) and they NEED the original Gamecube models since they have a digital AV port.

The GCVideo tech also works on Wii with some further modification but there's no plug and play solution there since the Wii didn't have onboard digital AV output capability.

Unist is a great gane, but I agree about sam shodown, no one cares about that game and it'll die the moment it comes out, so why is it even at evo? It also looks like ass, like sf4 with swords.

What's funny is that this got shat on the year after when Melee went back to Sunday.

If Ult had a good Event Mode and the same importance to unlocks (I don't mean more time but I mean there should've been batched unlocks that didn't feel formulaic) I'd 100% agree with this but for now I partially agree by gameplay feel and the pull it has on my friends and even siblings. It really does call back the magic of early 00s casual Melee play again

stop regurgitating garbage opinions. if you ever played melee you'd understand that the ruleset is comes almost NATURALLY if you want to see who is better at the game i.e. competitive play.

We finally.....have the...true successor. Melee can die peacefully now. Rest in piece

>generic samurai fighting game
Stinky meleefags have gone too far

>comes almost naturally
>took decades to form
?

if you have to cut out 3/4 of the game and also ban multiple tech options to make it that "perfect" competitive game then maybe it's not really a perfect competitive game?

I liked watching Melee, but I'm glad it's finally dying. Armada moved on, PPMD basically quit, Leffen is way more focused on Ultimate, and so is Plup.
I'm more tired and bored of watching tournaments be "if Leffen/Armada didn't beat HBox in Winners Semis/Finals, HBox will win" or a variation of that than I'm sad that Melee will likely be dead soon.

Honestly, for me if I miss a day of showering (I shower at night so sometimes I get lazy) I feel hesitant to shower the next day.

Now granted if I am going somewhere I always shower first butt if someone who doe shower daily like me can get in a rut of almost not wanting to shower at all because I did not the day before I can see how some smelly boys might just not want to shower. Still makes it gross though

Melee is sick*

*If it conforms to my perfect ideal of a game where people don't play slow characters or basically anything but spacies so we can keep thinking of players like Dragonball Z characters (buy my shirt) and "gods" and villainizing everyone who does something different

This is what bamboozles me most, why do they care so much?
The entire point of something like EVO is supposed to be people who genuinely like fighting games watching high level play of various other fighting games, like a showcase of where the genre is
But Meleefags themselves point out that a clear subset of people tune in when Melee starts and then tune out when Melee ends. There are like 7 or 8 guys who seriously compete in Melee so why is it so important they show up at EVO? It almost just seems like an ego thing

>took decades to turn of items and play on he more neutral stages
no, the tourney scene took decades to get this big. but people played like this since way before.
case in point: me. i played like this with my friends long before i knew of the us smash scene.

you don't have to "cut it out". it's not like a mod. and yeah, i don't agree with bans

For competitive, Brawl and Wii U felt like the other Smash games compared to Melee. Now Melee feels like the other Smash game compared to Ultimate. The newest Smash is no longer a Weenie Hut Jr game.

this, melee has just gotten worse and worse the past few. the old gods have gotten lazy and won't commit to playing "lame" to beat hbox, and there isn't enough new blood improving fast enough to be a threat.

I think it's finally time to let it die

Don't be sad that it's likely dying, be happy that it's defied the odds for almost two decades and managed to be so prevalent and relevant (although let's be honest, Melee coasted for so long mostly thanks to Brawl's gameplay being incredibly polarizing and WiiU having a pitiful userbase on a pitifully low selling console). Also be happy that Melee's prevailing nature meant that Sakurai finally had to cave in and (at least on the surface) meet Meleefags halfway with Ultimate's gameplay.

it's so fucking dumb how subborn the players are to not adapt to hbox's style of play. I don't like seeing hbox win either but it's the fault of the other top players for letting him get away with it for so long. very disappointing

Oh for sure, what I meant was that I was barely even sad about it dying, actually. I think it's pretty good that people can move on and it's not with a sudden cut, but more like a natural progression towards death.

>so why is it even at evo?
money? probably a sponsor deal

The only "adaptations" to Hbox's "style" are equally passive, spammy nonsense.
It's nobody's fault that the highest level gameplay for an unpatchable game turned out to be achievable with 2 TASbots.
And it's nobody's fault to just admit Ultimate would probably be more fun than Melee featuring Hbox and anti-Hbox.

Who was it that got bullied?

That's a good way to put it. This does feel like the most natural death for Melee. If it got buried for the sake of artificially pushing Brawl or 4 then that'd be preposterous.

Even if the death isn't natural: of all the talk of conspiracies of UNIST or SamSho killing Melee at EVO, I'm surprised more people haven't considered that Nintendo themselves could have wanted it gone. They're taking eSports more seriously with Switch plus they've finally got a Smash game that's sold well AND has widely agreeable gameplay, so it wouldn't very well do to have it compete with its own 18 year old thrice-predecessor at a venue with precious few game slots.

who's getting revealed for Ultimate at EVO? Ten bucks says Heihachi or a Dark Souls rep.

It happened a long ass time ago, well before Brawl came out. It was a like a 12 year old that went by the handle of Whazzo or something like that?

The Marth player was Ken, I remember that much. Also that user was slightly wrong, it wasn't because of items (they were off) it was because the kid counterpicked a stage that was starting to get banned by the rest of the Melee community, but for that tournament at the time was perfectly legal.

It was true that the message boards and rest of the Melee community ganged up on him and got him to forfeit his winnings and his trophy to Ken though because of the counterpick.

>losing to a kid because of a stage
Pathetic.

What stage?

He's my dream rep for a second fighting series in Smash for sure. Only problem is that he'd need the Castlevania treatment for music (i.e. a metric fuckload of music) to be done true justice. They could probably get away with a lot of game rips, especially if they pull from ASTs, but at the very least new Smash covers would need to be done for the following tracks at minimum:
>Kurikinton
>London March
>Arashi no Saxophone 2
>maybe Ketchaku R (Omega Rugal's 98 theme)

Honestly can't remember either. Some people claim it was something really wonky like Big Blue, but I can't remember a time when Big Blue was ever allowed in any tournament.

I *think* it was Green Greens? There was some leeway with that stage when the competitive Melee scene was just starting

The Melee community has an insane cult-like view of its top players. Whenever I'm on Twitter and a tournament is about to come up, some of my Mele fanatic friends always retweet like dozens of fan art works of the fucking players.

To be fair, there's hero worship in all fighting game and competitive communities, but none of them are anywhere near as servile and worshipping to the top players as the Melee community.

Yes

He's a twitch streamer. Their whole careers is built around over dramatizing and pandering.

I know Melee had some serious leniency in its early ruleset.

Because SamSho is a better fighting game than literally any other fighting game, SNK just has no money for a good artstyle now.

Hello underage twitch zoomer, taken any money from daddy's wallet so that MadDickSucker69 can say your name on stream?

Get fucked and cry more, arrogant GG nigger. Karma is a bitch, isn't it?

Why is it that Meleefags are so quick to make accusations (on the basis of no evidence at all) that SamSho and UNIST devs paid to have their games get slots at Evo? Like, do they realize how completely retarded and ignorant they sound when they make those allegations?

Whatever Chinese company bought SNK did so before SNK made KOF14, and we all know how much in the way of high-budget production values that game had (which is to say, very little). Furthermore, Meleefags cite games like SNK Heroines getting PC ports, which is fucking dumb evidence because nobody bought the port. It currently has barely 30 players online now. So, no, they're not rolling in Chinese money. Applying the allegations that French Bread paid for an Evo slot is even dumber, because French Bread is as poor as a company can be.

The way so many Meleefags immediately accused SNK and French Bread of paying their way into Evo was just so jarring. Everyone of these drones reflexively came up with the exact same argument. It's like a hivemind.

someone explain the appeal to me. is the gameplay just that unique?

It is even sillier when you realise other games could easily outbid UNIst for the spot. The list didn't read like an attempt to maximise profits. They simply don't know these series, and when they realise one fanbase is getting too defensive attack another game.

Honestly I could even accept they did pay to get in. But why would I be upset about a classic game reboot getting a chance at EVO? Especially when it looks good. If it turns out shit and melee skipped a year then that is hardly the end of the world. Melee has huge tournaments every month and is always going on about how they don't need EVO. Seems to just feed into their overall bad attitude.

The funniest thing about all of this to me is that as soon as Meleefags and their “muh grassroots” were faced with UNIST, a game that has spent the last few years clawing its way out of poverty, they immediately target it. I understand they’re autistic but can they really not see the irony?

It's just EVO, why are they so mad? There's like a million other fighting tourneys

because it's the biggest tourney from an outside perspective, so it's by far the best for getting exposure.

>they immediately target it.

It really does prove the divide in the community. I haven't seen mad GG players, DoA are a little upset but generally amicable and not even anything from MvCfags. Even if they don't know or care about the other games it is what it is. Yet a game with 5 years of being a main game, and I think a sunday game for most of it throws a fit.

>is the gameplay just that unique?
Yes actually but it'll porobably still die, doesn't have the normie appeal of SF, MK or Tekken

I wish 2D sprites weren't dying out, Samurai Shodown would look better with them. Nothing about the cheap looking 3D graphics make it stand out

Melee was never truly a part of the FGC.

This, the only one who pays for their spots are NetherRealm. I don't like their fighting games but WB bucks really help set all these tournaments up.

>Fnaf
>toby fox's games

This.

I don’t think kingdom Hearts is anywhere near the other three. KH fans are typically pretty chill from my experiences, even on here.

It's not a fighting game. By definition, it can't be part of the FGC, no more than competitive Quake can be part of the FGC.

Not necessarily all in the same direction. I’m entering a Tekken and SC tournament this weekend but my main game is Calibur, I just like to support other games. I’m 100% pot monster for Tekken.

Her sprite is new like the RWBY cast? gdi arcsys it looks fucking nice.

Replace KH with Final Fantasy 15

I've said this before but Melee is more like the WWE than actual wrestling. It's about the drama, the bullshit the way the characters interact. Sure they are talented and do some impressive stuff but its all for show and nobody -wants- to be in the WWE, just watch and be a part of the hype.

Melee is the WWE

Also ignoring this, melee has a cancerous fanbase. Remember when meleefags stunk (literally and figuratively) up some other fighting game tourney by booing it and chanting "melee" or some shit? And before you think that its just the young crowd who did that, the game is almost 18 years old. These people are grown fucking men who can't bathe, bitch and moan and just wanna watch their video game WWE simulator. These are some of the most mentally damaged, pathetic, smelly chromosome collectors in the world. Which is sad because melee, the game itself, is obviously good but it attracted the worst of people.

AH4 will be at EVO 2020 or 2021.
CTB is gonna promote the fuck out of six stars and 4.

>>when every single good thing about the game can be traced back to design decisions from Melee, and then brought back by pleading Melee fans so that Smash could be good again
such as? most of the improvements over 4 has take more from Brawl of all things

I'm sure Wiz got a paycheck either way, but I'd imagine MK11 would have got in with or without a paycheck since it's the first year it's out.

they are.
the problem is probably that they've always been too large to MERGE with the fgc. melee doesn't need to and the fgc didn't want to take in such a large but different game.
so they kept each other at arms length

>using a fucking picture of a girl as evidence that they paid off Mr. Wizard

Reaching rock bottom here, Meleefags.

SamSho is a classic, but it is weird to me that a game that doesn't have a release date is going to be at Evo compared to something that'll have been out for a few months DoA. I guess the real question is why the fuck is BB in it again?

Day of Soap on a Rope

Didn't the same fucking thing happen with BB Tag? It wasn't out yet but months before it was on Evo 2018, it was put in the roster of mainstage games.

Imagine being one of the meleefags that actually make it to tourneys. HBox, Armada, Leffen(or did he ragequit knowing he is washed up?) and having to tell your mommy who still pays your bills at the ripe age of fucking 35 that your video game tourney was cancelled and having to hear her yell at you for not going to college or getting a real job.

I don’t understand why meleefags are such retards. Like I never talked to a hardcore SF fan that thought 4 was better than 3, and not many like 5 more than 4, but it’s the new game and people like playing new shit so they go play new shit. And if the new shit is an abject disaster like MVCI they evidently would rather play nothing at all than the old shit. Yet Melee fans exist in this world where everyone should be lugging around CRTs and 20 year old consoles to cater to their tastes.

Hi barry

Brah the game got a 5 year run, most games do not get that. Melee players need some fucking perspective.

Is there a large EVO-type event for arena shooters because i would drop 1k on a plane ticket in an instant for that

Yes. It could be argued that it was to curry favor with Arcsys over DBFZ support at Evo, but at this point I almost feel like they are fellating Arcsys a bit too much.

I don’t know what the restrictions are but evo has a room where people can run whatever the fuck they want

Might just be restricted to just fightans though.

Because you can't win by just using a broken controller

Cause DoA has never been a big competitive series. If it wasn't for the core values incident no one here would be pushing it and calling it SJW trash reeee. SS still has tournaments and there is a bigger chance it will have some presence for a while.

I think they make plenty from twitch subs desu
tourney winnings were only substantial income before twitch really took off now it's just a tasty bonus
Isn't sitting back and collecting sub money why zero stopped competing?

As someone that loves to play and watch Melee, I could give 2 shits about EVO dropping the game. The people getting pissed off about this are just generic sheep that follow whatever there is to get pissed off about anyways. I love how so many people are saying that SNK bought their way in with this unreleased game without knowing that they just came back from bankruptcy.

Here's an idea, Mr Wiz and the FGC in general don't really like the Melee community and decided to drop it now that there's a Smash game backed by Nintendo bucks that isn't as boring as shit to play and watch. Maybe the samurai game got in to help out a dev that has fallen on tough times and as a way to thank them for being such an integral part of the FGC? No, obviously they got paid off. Lmao, fuck Meleefags. Such a fun competitive game ruined by the most autistic loudmouthed fanbase

How does it feel that your entire community abandoned MvC3 to suck on corporate dick and play MvCI? You don't have the right to talk shit.

DoA5 had tournaments up through like last year m8

It’s not huge but there is a core scene

I thought that the whole point of 6 was to make steps to move it toward a more competitive scene?

>Melee players need some fucking perspective.
well true. they are extremely entitled when it comes to evo and a small part of me enjoys seeing them suffer after their constant retarded comments shitting on evo and saying that they don't need it.

>they just came back from bankruptcy
With a large backing of Chinese money, so of course they bought their way back in.

People like HBox won't make it on twitch because nobody wants to watch that shit crusted prolapsed anus. With melee finally being put down these guys will be forgotten. They don't have a 401K, they don't have PTO, they don't have consistent income. These man children will run out of money just as fast as that Wind Waker guy did and he was pretty set from twitch until he went full tranny.

Let the man children throw their fucking fit. They know they are going to go broke soon -and- their twitch career will die since they have zero personality unlike the younger crowd. Nobody wants to watch a 40 year old man sperge about some game older than you.

>tfw a huge chunk of UNIST players are also melty blood players, the embodiment of poverty

The UNIST main stage will probably be them playing on a really fancy trash bin

>I love how so many people are saying that SNK bought their way in with this unreleased game without knowing that they just came back from bankruptcy.

Exactly. This is what the NPC meme is used for. All of the Meleefags who just immediately and instinctively reached out for this excuse and allegation is basically an NPC. None of them even thought about how dumb these arguments sound. They just instinctively blurt them out.

Because Meleefags want to feel like special snowflakes. They want to be the only one with the 'grassroots community' backstory, so when UNIST shows up they feel threatened, like a territorial animal.

I really hope top players like Crow and Hishigata make it to Evo. I would totally contribute to a donation drive to help get these players tickets to the US.

You clearly haven't been on /khg/ or any of the Yea Forums threads. They're pure autism.

Then why didn't they try to get KoF in last year?

Like a cornered, dying dog really.

>DoA5 had tournaments up through like last year m8
And SS2 launched in like 1994 and still gets tournaments. I don't think DoA6 was completely undeserving of a spot, but really the only advantage I see is it is releasing earlier. But not even early enough to see if it has a lasting scene. which could also drop off before EVO

The marketing has been a mixed bag

>smash made evo
lol this is the brain of someone who plays nintendo games

Isn’t Hbox an engineer
Or was that Mango

I don’t follow these chucklefucks but I rememeber some comment about it at E3 or something

HMMMMM

ofcourse the subhuman smelly unwashed neets of Yea Forumsintendo love smarsh

So is anyone actually going to EVO this year?

I plan on participating in SCVI bracket, but fully expect to go 0-2, I haven't had the chance to play for the past 2 months because I've been ultra busy with work. It'll clear up in 2-3 weeks, so I'm hoping to get back into it and catch up.

Fighting games don't normally last that long at EVO, especially when there are new iterations they just end up replacing old games for the new games.

People who actually watch EVO know this, so it comes as no surprise that they chose the new smash game over THE 15 YEAR OLD ONE. What Smashfags have to realize is that they're lucky their game even lasted this long in the lineup.

If they manage to maintain a community with a megacorp like Nintendo and the entirety of the FGC seething and behaving adversarial for the majority of the game's lifespan, it should be praised. Props to them for giving an example of what you can do when you don't want to suck corporate cock all day.

I'm personally looking forward moreso to Samsho.

It'd be nice to have a SF4 technical fighting game again.

Its a Disney/FF crossover with edgy OCs, are you blink to the tism that attracts?

>Being this retarded

That's not how it happened at all. The melee scene was HUGE before it hot into EVO, itngit even bigger once it got in though.

I think what annoys me is that Melee has been on the main event stage for a good few years now. Even new games get removed after 1-2 years, so I don't know why they're bitching about melee finally leaving to give some newer games exposure. Like fuck, there's still your majors and there'll probably be someone hosting a melee side tourney at EVO itself if they really wanted it.

As someone that has been in the Smash scene since like 2010, Melee and Smash in general hasn't been a grassroots thing for years now. Hell even after the EVO donation drive/documentary combo that brought in an influx of new people it was still fairly underground. It wasn't until around 2015 that esports really took over and the community was irrevocably fucked into what it is today

The entire modern community is based around the celebrity worship of these "gods" (a term directly ripped from the FGC lmfao) of Melee. Everything that goes on in the scene has to be WWE/anime in the eyes of these gormless nerds. Most of them don't even play Melee they just like to laugh at Hbox popoffs, call Leffen a "cool anime villain", and dickride everything Mango says and does.

GUYS Im back from an alternate timeline! I just watched the final match of melee at EVO 2019! It was Hbox puff vs. Armada Fox on Battlefield! WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN?! I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED THIS WOOOOOOOOOW Hbox loses to a technically. He got coached midmatch

Sorry your timeline didn't get melee EVO but I hope this news surprises you and shows you how the meta would have shifted and all the new blood that would have came of it. Also the venue smells like 18 year old garbage mixed with Leffen's tears.

you're looking forward to it but all the rest of comments from nintentards online and even here in this thread are silly and honestly embarrassingly ignorant regarding samurai shodown

It's pretty fucking bad. People actually give a shit about that contrived plot that spans like 8 different consoles and won't shut the fuck up about how KH2FM is the mona lisa of action games

SS probably did have some behind-the-scenes dealings, honestly. Not something as clear-cut "here's some money get us into Evo and KILL SMELEE" but as far as brand awareness/marketing goes SNK benefits a lot from having a brand new game at Evo. An extreme example would probably be MvCI, where what was left of its competitive community basically evaporated after it didn't get into Evo. It's not scummy the way Meleefags make it out to be, it's just the way things are. Plus even if SS was rejected, I'd say that DoA6 and GG would have had priority over Melee anyway.

This is honestly one of the most admirable things about the Melee community. They recognized that the first couple sequels to their games were shit and Nintendo could care less about them, so they stuck with the game that they actually found fun. I guarantee you if Nintendo actually backed Brawl tournaments with big money like Capcom does with SFV everyone would've moved on from Melee years ago and Melee would be a well-remembered legacy game in the same vein as 3rd Strike CvS2 or MvC2

It was actually reposted. Check the archives

I mean you can have a job and also a hobby

Smash is not a fighting game, and most importantly not part of the fgc. By that i dont mean its easy or not competitive, it just doesnt follow the same game design and basics of fightig games, the community has its own memorable moments and the number of exclusive smash players who started with smash but also ventured into other fightan seriously are a handful, the only reason its on evo its because of what they can get from the massive playerbase

*image of 23 sora cosplayers of varying ages, genders and physiques sitting in a circle playing spin the bottle at any con from the late 2000s*

if you post this 10 more times maybe it'll become true

Kids don’t remember that everyone DID move on from melee or dropped Smash when Brawl came out until the doc revived them. Y’all were having 12 man side brackets at regionals.

I’ve got nothing bad to say about the game but melee players should appreciate how lucky they’ve been this far with their game and getting a second shot instead of acting like they’re an immortal god.

>smash made evo
I mean I hate the Melee scene just as much as anyone else, but I never got the "Smash isn't a fighting game" shit, why the fuck are they so butthurt about this?

What's wrong about what he posted? Smash isn't fgc, there's minimal crossover from top Smash players into fighting games. (Name 1 person besides Leffen) Its a platform fighter/brawler that centers around stage control and movement

I'm not a smash 4 player.

Chris G was a Brawl player. It’s where he learned to run a clock.

Not arguing with your point though.

Don't bully him. he apologized

Is this fool implying Nintendo didn't pay for their Smash slot? Why the fuck would anyone want two Smash games in the main lineup? Meleefags are entitled manchildren.

I mean yeah if you were he would probably need to be actually near you to smell you

This whole debacle is crazy. Theres like two retards on twitter saying dumbass shit like "what's sam shodown" and everyone is just blowing it out of the proportion. They're so insecure about the fact that people prefer a older more technical game that they are filled with genuine excitement from this. None of these people care that theres no marvel, no KOF, no guilty gear. They are just casual fucks who are the reason evo is so shit nowadays. None of these fucks have ever gone to evo and just parrot some shit mcrib said on twitter about melee fans wanting BO5 in pools and a reddit post from fucking zero. I've seen a 9/1 ratio of people talking about how salty melee fans are and how butthurt they are too actual melee fags talking about the situation at all.

Brawl is not a smash game

Didn't this guy drop his career as engineer to be a Melee pro? How big of a financial hit can this be for him?

It was heavily hinted at previously, too, but a lot of Melee players have gone bonkers.

I'm so hype for this game. SamSho is the one fighting game from SNK I love.

No worries meleechads I just happen to be hosting a tournament the same weekend as that shitty evo. Located at mangos house, the summit .5 house guys! Team beer!!! Itll have all the big boys armada, dr pp, mango, and yours truly. And dont worry I definetly won't win its PPs turn! We'll have melee themed decorations and everything. And the best part?

Considering he would be the favorite to win he just lost out on thousands of dollars so that Evo can host a game literally no one plays (because it's not out yet)

this is absurd if you know A N Y T H I N G about evo or the fgc.

exposure for what though? the stale gameplay of melee, the toxic community behind it, or the same top ten dominating the tourney like the autists are?

EVO Japan's GG tournament was hype as fuck, it didn't really matter that a lot of familiar names where there. The game still has plenty more excitement and room to grow, far more than something like Melee.

Next time, read the thread before making your “hurr durr twitter” post.

What is incorrect there?

I said smash players that started with smash, almost everyone in the fgc tries smash at some point, but no classic smash player try fighting games

This, there is much more competitive GG scene overseas, they have streamed tourneys you can watch all the time. I'm surprised GG had been at evo that long honestly

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AND YOU'RE TO BLAME, YOU GAVE MELEE A BAD NAME

yes, just watch him winning evo

yeah he dropped his engineering job because he thought melee would never die

Salem got kicked out of liquid lmao. Melee is on the right side of history.

I'll assume for the moment that you just phrased that question very poorly and aren't actually as dumb as you look. Not counting roster or gameplay, Ultimate is:
- Easier for audiences to follow (while still requiring mastery of the game to perform well)
- Doesn't require a ton of very old and sometimes difficult-to-procure hardware to be hauled around whenever you want to host a tournament
- Fresher (and the game is newer, too)

You have to be seriously delusional to ignore the history of the event this hard.

Armada actually just cashed in while Melee was hyped and invested into Alliance and other things making a bunch of money to live off comfortably. The rest however are idiots.

Whew... do you smell that?

I'm pissed that Hungrybox, the biggest faggot on earth, will go down as the ultimate Melee champ and the reason that entire community died.

>it got replaced by the game's devs paying for a slot
Do these fuckers not realize that Nintendo was paying for Melee to be in EVO for years now?
Don't bitch about "buying slots" when buying slots the only reason why Melee was around to begin with.

well unist playercount has doubled since the announcement. can't imagine what the actual tournament will do for them

I love SamSho but let's be honest, it doesn't have a lot of life ahead of it.
It's not SF, DBZ or the latest ArcSys game so it will never gain traction beyond this first EVO.

It takes a massive lack of awareness to think melee was just gonna get to be in evo forever

Nintendo kept Melee alive during Smash 4's lifespan because they understood that 4 was a mistake that was still held back by Sakurai's anti-competitive tendencies, so they needed something to complement it on a core, competitive level.
Ultimate on the other hand is being pushed as a competitive title by virtually everybody behind it, so it makes sense that Nintendo would try to consolidate their competitive presence in EVO onto this one game.

What about the 9.7k people who liked this tweet?
>They prioritized games that paid them to be there instead of viewership or community support and thats sad but its also reality.

For the most part they've been pretty understanding, since Melee's been on its way out over the past year, and Ultimate is fun enough that a lot of top players are getting ready to move on. Hungrybox's response is hilarious though because his playstyle hasn't translated well to any other Smash game and no one likes him enough for Twitch/Youtube to be a viable source of income like it is for guys like Mango and Plup, so the death of Melee means his career is in jeopardy.

Is this the highest IQ match ever

First off, that's a fucking stretch. A huge stretch.

Second, Nintendo was still paying for a Melee slot.

Third, Ultimate clearly has multiple nods to Melee gameplay and builds off of it. How much more pandering do you want?

The mindgames on display here are on a level you will never fully grasp.

Hahahaah jesus christ melee fags really are autistic. Take a shower my guy

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up low, but that is SNK games in general. They are smaller communities. But I think a big part of the FGC is giving those smaller communities a chance. Cause really we are all small. EVO should be expanding to give more of them a big presence.

Like why not create a sub main game category which has slightly higher limit than side tournaments? It could really help some series out

Nintendo did not do anything for melee besides allow the game to be played, which they almost didnt until the donation drive.

Fuck leffen, hes a retard and one of the biggest dumbasses in melee. Any tweets he makes about evo is stupid and is always used as the voice for the scene when lots of people disagree. Also for you fucks, no one thinks uniel payed to get in, just that theres a chance Sam Shodown may have because it is interesting that there wont even very a playable demo for a month yet the games there. If anything I think it's worth discussion at least.

>yeah he dropped his engineering job because he thought melee would never die
I viewed him dropping to the floor as "Oh fuck, how am I going to make money now? I made a huge mistake."
Maybe I'm reading in to it too much, dude is prone to crying

It's essentially fundamentals:the game. Depending on the swing, the defensive posture of the other player, and the character, a single heavy attacking special can destroy most of a health bar. Samsho is tense as fuck and can have massive swings in momentum.

Basically this. It doesn't really have combos like most fighting games and instead relies mostly on mindgames and spacing.
Which of course can lead to shit like this but hopefully the new game will have systems in place to prevent matches like that.

Ultimate is better than melee in almost every way possible.

Melee was my first Smash but I will not deny Ultimate is better and I would rather play it.

For me it's
Ultimate>Melee>>Brawl>Sm4sh>>Smash64

>Any tweets he makes about evo is stupid and is always used as the voice for the scene when lots of people disagree
Apparently 9k people doesn't represent anything but okay. I guess none of your top players do when it is inconvenient

>just that theres a chance Sam Shodown may have because it is interesting that
Prove if smeleefag instead of going around accusing games. Also how come they didn't pay to get kof in last year? There was even DLC to advertise.

Multiple local guys LITERALLY arguing that French Bread paid for their spot and are currently spinning absurd narratives about how it’s possible, there really are people that stupid.

But that limits the competitive roster only to the fastest and hardest-hitting picks, because everyone who moves slower is just going to get bounced around and everyone who relies on counters is ultimately going to get blasted every game.

You know, it's kinda funny, the stuff that Meleefags want more of us the exact same stuff that everyone else doesn't want.

Anyone have that webm of the Melee autist throwing the EVO trophy away after being awarded it?

Except it's meleefags who are huge manchildren that sperg over the tiniest changes even if it's good and makes for a more balanced game.

I miss before esports and it was just niggers stabbing each other because of MvC2 money matches.

A ton of slow characters would greatly benefit from ground-to-air momentum.
I'm a Kirby main and lemme tell you, if Kirby could move at the same speed in the air as he does on the ground, he would jump up at least two tiers. His air speed is ludicrously pitiful and drags him down substantially. And the same applies for other slower characters.
Ironically the faster characters in the game would probably benefit less from this change since their ground-to-air speeds are much closer to eachother than the slow characters'.

user, I've just turned 38, and I thought that competitive video game playing had passed me by since I grew up in an era where tournaments were mostly local. But when I saw a new Samsho, and at EVO no less, it lit a fire under me like nothing I've felt since I was a young man. Hyped as fuck.

This feels really good.

Nigger what the fuck are you talking about? The melee community is literally the exact opposite and you're just proving his point.

Melee fans could be given a new Smash game that is just Melee with a bigger roster and new graphics and they'd still complain that it's not melee and that melee is the only true Smash. Then they'd bitch that melee pros aren't taken seriously, even though there is literally no change in the pro roster over the years. You fuckers even lost Sky Williams as a commentator because he got bored with the scene, and that nigga still plays League.

That's fine, but the comment i'm responding to is him describing guys who say SF4 sucks and SF5 really sucks, but they still move on and play those despite thinking those games are trash comparison to Third Strike.
If you think the new game is actually bad, why the fuck play the new game? Just because it's new? Because it's what everyone else is doing?

I dabble in melee, and I do like the game, but the absolute delusion that they don't need Evo or Evo will come "crawling back". Evo gave them a huge platform to grow and essentially gave their game and community a second wind, way to show some fucking appreciation to the tournament that gave you a chance. They even got a send-off; not even super turbo (also 6 consecutive years) didn't even get that.
Leave it to a bunch of autismos to take a respectful good bye as an offense. If you didn't need Evo then why are you so fucking butt blasted?
God I don't know why it triggers me so much.

KHfags can't take any criticism

I'm not saying Melee deserve to be at Evo

But UNIST certainly doesn't and the same goes for SamSho which is only going to release in like June or some shit

did they finally bring back running momentum when jumping? that was a major problem with every smash since melee.

>Guilty Gear X
>Soul Calibur 1
u wot

They also just output a lower res image which is upscaled by the monitor/TV, which will usually introduce fairly noticeable lag. Not autist-tier "muh half-frame" bullshit but something average players can feel. The Gamecube only outputs 480p at most, after all.

>the same one player

ftfy

Obvious bait idiot

>they even got a sendoff
It was a "don't let the door hit you on your way out"
Don't fucking pretend that shit was respectful.

>But UNIST certainly doesn't
how come

Fucking THIS

Never did

unist absolutely deserves it. it's been on the up and up and this is a great help.

I don't follow FGC shit too closely, why do competitive fags prefer GG and cross tag or blazblue?

yeah, for people that don't like skilled games. hopefully they just have bb first so i can skip that trash

over cross tag*

I personally don't like guilty gear, x or otherwise, but I equate it with all of the more modern anime fighters. I threw soul Calibur in because it was a big deal when it came out.
Forgot Virtua Fighter 4 though

Going from 30 players to 40 players is still "up and up" but that doenst justify you being at fucking EVO

Because it plays differently. I wouldn't expect every ST player to want to move on to SF3.

The self-entitlement is crazy though. They deserve this tarring and feathering for that.

GG only started to get relatively popular with Accent Core and SC2 made a bigger deal because it was multiplatform and muh Link.

blazblue is just different, but bbtag is a watered down game (simple imputs) and elitists don't like that. haven't played it myself though

I was a TO for a SmashU launch party, and we had Project M and Melee set up. We ended up getting 900 attendees.

Anyway, these fucking faggots are absolute monsters.

First of all, the Melee players were absolute cunts. They were rude as FUCK and I wanted to remove a handful of them just for being so disrespectful.

Dont fucking piss off the people who organized your precious autism tournament.

Another thing that was wild, we ended up with 8 broken gamecube controllers by the end of the night. Fucking 8.
These idiots would SLAM the analog sticks left and right and the speed of light during the fucking loading screens, and in between deaths. Like, guys, what the FUCK are you doing? And why are ALL OF YOU doing it?! You're literally not playing the game at the moment, so why the fuck are you slamming the analog sticks like god damn crackheads?

And yes, they smelled like shit.

I will agree with you about SS on the grounds that I genuinely believe any game that is not already released by the time the announcements are made should not make the cut for EVO. There will be other tournaments for it. However there is no real reason UNI[st] does not deserve to be there.

well that's lame. i couldn't enjoy brawl partly because of that and partly because of dumb shit like tripping. it just makes the games shallow and less interesting.

Stinkies go homu lmao

Unist 100% deserves it

It plays vastly differently.
From Melee to Brawl and later games is a huge change, that took out a lot of what makes smash so enjoyable as a competitive and spectator game.
Seriously, there is not a single match-up in Brawl, Smash 4, or Ultimate that's exciting as to play or watch than Fox vs Falco in Melee. Not a match-up that even comes close to it.

Nope, Guilty Gear started picking up steam with X and was really big by #Reload, which was more popular than Accent Core ever would be.

Ààààaaa

>These idiots would SLAM the analog sticks left and right and the speed of light during the fucking loading screens, and in between deaths

Dunno about melee, but at the locals and majors I've been to for sf and marvel people would often tap buttons or wiggle the stick a little in the middle of supers, in the middle of the opponent's combos, and between rounds.

Partially psyching themselves up, partially getting themselves into a rhythm. And probably a few people who mistakenly thought it would mess with their opponent's execution.

This accurate in terms of competitive play but Ultimate still lacks the soul of Melee/Brawl

Low-tier

Okay, I never really kept up with guilty gear or soul Calibur but 2 was the last one I played specifically because of muh link/spawn. Either way, I'm not sure why there isn't a side tournament with older versions of the games on the main stage. I mean, of course I understand the main point is to promote new games and sell copies; but the way companies re-release and rehash old games these days you'd think they would be interested in pumping old games. It would even serve as good data. Maybe if a bunch of people tuned in for bloody roar matches, Konami would take note and think about remastering or releasing a sequel.

I never owned a Nintendo or care about Smash but holy shit, Melee players have to be the most pathetic race on the planet

And dont even get me started on the token "Smash player" when I used to work at Home Depot.

He was some cart pusher who got paid to sit in the computer room and look at fucking freaky hentai. This fucking guy didnt even know how to spell his own fucking name. He actually wrote his "L" backwards.

Anyway, he would look up Kirby x Jigglypuff hentai, "thicc kirby", "nakad starfox," nana x Ness and other freaky fucking shit.

He was literally paid to look at hentai for 4 hours. And managment knew, too.

Holy shit that was great.

lol
Ever talk to him about who his "main" was? Did he pop a tard boner slurring out "Kirby"

Meleefags are upset that more of the 90% of the cast is viable and it doesn't have exploitable bugs

I completely agree.
It's actually weird how, despite claiming that Melee is a fighting game, they never seem to play any other games.
Do any top melee players ever stream or even try other types of fighting games? SF, Tekken, FighterZ, anything?

SF occasionally, FighterZ yeah, though Leffen is the only notable Melee player to have a presence in other fighters.

>low tier

Patrician argument
>Melee's competitive scene is dead and boring to watch and should be replaced

His few months before leaving his last position is in his resume. If he includes it, that's one hell of a death knell.

>Fucking Overwatch is better

How to discard your argument in one sentence

what about literally any sport?

SF has always been the main game at evo. How long has each iteration been there?

It's absurd to think that any other game - especially one with a fragmented and very particular playerbase - should deserve as much or more time and presence than the headlining title.

>not wanting to shower at all because I did not the day before

That's some fucking weird neurosis.

That reading comprehension

No, because he was fucking horrifying.

Managment told him to go sweep for a change (after teaching him how a fucking broom works) and he went into the recieving area and literally tried going Super Saiyan. I never seen someone scream with such fucking determination.
Then he was mumbling to himself saying shit like "Wait until you see my true power. This is fucking bullshit. I will destroy all of you."
In one of the many times he locked himself in the bathroom to watch anime (all lot associates did this. Every single one) and he would talk to himself like "I. Am one. With the moon!"

So, fuck that. I wasnt going to paint a target on my dick when he came into the store with a fucking shotgun.

does anyone else have the issue where the first 10 seconds of the audio on a twitter video plays, but then the rest of the video is muted?

>they never seem to play any other games.
So the same as the majority of other fighting game loyalists, then. Only ones who play multiple games at tournament level are rarities like ChrisG, SFox, Wong. All the others, read: the majority, stick to one company or game.

You guys see this shit? How the fuck was it disrespectful?

LMAAAAAOOOOOOOOO

Another game would if EVO's organizers were honest. Instead, for years, the fended off criticism with SF HAS THE MOST ENTRANTS. WHATEVA HAS MOST ENTRANTS IS MAIN STAGE. END OF STORWEE. Well, that turned out to be bullshit. (DBFZ). Should've just said it's all about SF, regardless, from the beginning. Now they're full of shit.

This game looks exactly the same as Super Street Fighter 4
They didn't bother to make it look better?

Toooons of people play different fighting games. Most of them not well but at least proficient; most of them being people you will never see on stream except as the lucky sod who gets to start their 0-2 run with a beatdown by a pro.

In all the weeklies and regionals I've been to, I've yet to meet an anime fighting game player that only plays/has ever played one anime fighting game. Except for those where it's their first fighting game.

I hadn't heard of it. Read a short plot summary. Sounds like a SMT:Persona ripoff. Hollow night? Midnight hour. Voids? Shadows. Only select people perceive them, and are in more danger for doing so? Yeah it's a fucking persona rip. Gay as fuck

>Instead, for years, the fended off criticism with

Entrants will always play a role, as will money from the developer, sponsor interest, etc. Entrants are a reflection of community interest as well - and it's something mcrib made pretty clear is not lacking from the melee community.

These are all factors, but not individually deciding ones.

SF has been a core focus and probably will be barring a major fall from grace for capcom. SF was "the" fighting game and it still has that title, for all of SFV's woes and blunders. They have never, ever shied away from saying that the legacy was part of the reason.

This is the tournament series that enforced console-only rules instead of cabs for SF2 because "we're a console tournament", a tournament series where even mvc wasn't welcome for quite some time.

WAIT A MINUTE.
There's a new Samurai Shodown? Fuck I missed that.

I think a good amount of them play other games casually but as far as I know Leffen is the only top player to compete in other games.

>Why keep playing melee when the superior and complete package is already played?

Because Melee has better gameplay than Ultimate.

This

The trailer has Haohmaru doing a 75% combo too. Attacking backturned opponents, universal parry and a few other things.

Canceling into supers appears to have been added.

Leffen played a fair amount of SF4, Marvel and SF5 but never did particularly well at locals.
He did good in DBFZ tournament placings-wise.
Going the other way around, there's a couple videos of Daigo playing Marth and seeming like he knows what he's doing. Or just really good at imitating something he's seen before.

as a meleefag who didnt enter melee at the last local to focus on ult, this is true

>Japan has HnK-themed body soap ads
Why the fuck did I have to be born on this shithole?

That's because Melee actually requires skill and practise, you can't just pick it up and play it like you can with all those other casual games

Lowest quality bait.

Honestly I would love to see top FGC players pick up melee, maybe not to compete but playing on stream would be fun.
Justin Wong also fucking loves Melee, he sees it as one of the best competitive games of all time.

That was literally samurai fighting IRL in a game

I think it was 2012 or 2013 but yeah, Melee raised just under $10k for the donation drive to get one of the EVO slots.

I'm confused as to how a community raising money is the same as a dev/publisher paying for a spot. I'm speaking of SamSho, not UNIST. Those fuckers have paid their dues for a while now.

>I'm speaking of SamSho
It's like you meleefags just want people to dislike you.

Motherfucker the game isn't out yet.
Why are we putting a game that isn't out yet into EVO?

you do realise that nintendo wanted to ban melee from being played at evo in 2013.
but the headlines that would create was not worth it.

Cause it is SamSho. Post proof if you are going to make a claim.

> that isn't out yet
So are other games on the list, yet you didn't complain about them. Almost like you fags just repeat each other

It's a nostalgia pick, not a paid one.
The TO liked SamSho in the past and is hyped that it's back, so he's putting it on. Likewise, DBFZ would have gotten a spot no matter what.

Learn the difference.

Straight up, I don't think MK11 should be there either, but it will at least have been out for four months before August. We don't even have a release date for Samurai Shodown yet.

The city I live in does not have locals and fightcade is a pain in the ass at times. And the last local I went to in a city that had them it was max autistic.
Doesn't stop me from playing SS2, 4, and 6 (honestly never cared for 5s) with the few people I know who play fighters.

The scariest thing for me is the idea that SNK will try to rush SamSho out the door in time for EVO, forgoing any further polishing to make it in time for the 'holiday season'.

Think about how the gaming environment is now, this can happen.

>Straight up, I don't think MK11 should be there either
Yet that isn't the one you jump on. Lets be real, you went for Samsho cause it seems like the safest target to shit on and not because you believe anything you write. MK has a vocal fanbase, UNIst backfired on you guys hard so you go for the next target.

>We don't even have a release date
You must be new to EVO.
ppl in the fgc are full of shit. what's new.

>The scariest thing for me is the idea that SNK will try to rush SamSho out the door in time for EVO,
I was thinking the same thing. Thats exactly what killed KOF14. Not because it wasn't a good game, it was a great fighter, but the lack of visual polish deterred many from checking it out and only the diehard fans bought it.

>No, because I enjoy playing this game a lot more.

I love how fgc fags always say this but then turn around and bitch about SFV and wish they could just keep playing super turbo

I think it's more imitation, but Daigo is a really quick learner so I wouldnt be surprised if he internalized all the stuff just by watching it, JotarovsDarby style
Leffen sounds like a pretty flexible guy though. Honestly, fighting games aren't SO different that oyu can't move to another unless it's something super esoteric.

It feels like the filter is an attempt to work around lower quality assets and character models.

They've made the right choice.

Yeah, but they can still enjoy it. They can host their own tournaments. It just means they either have to get a real job to help support themselves or learn a new game to become a pro in

> tfw my toaster can't play KOF14 so I didn't buy it
I at least bought 2k2UM as soon as it came out on GOG, as well as XIII.

Was it that long ago? Fuck it then, let it be there. I just hope that when they said Summer 2019 they meant June and not July.

Items were on though, and they played a game on Skyworld of all stages.

Meleefags are autistic as fuck

This is the only fighting game I've wanted to by since 2015. MK11 has good graphics, but they're making the same mistakes they made before. No one cares about the fucking special forces.

It really isn't. If your play Rivals of Aether for a while, the switch to KOF 2k2, the transition is not nearly as jarring as one would assume. Getting used to the movement in Smash and a Tradition game is the biggest barrier to entry, after that combat itself is easy to link and associate.

Or they can keep going to the same tournaments that haven't gone down in payouts. Smash Summit 7 had a payout higher than the 2GG series for Smash 4.

I'd recommend picking up XIV when you can. Sure, it looks like a high res PS2 game, but its really solid.

The picture was the payment user.

The people who play fighting games "competitively" are subhumans.

All of them

cringe as fuck

>Didn't this guy drop his career as engineer to be a Melee pro? How big of a financial hit can this be for him?

Small. Melee has other big tournaments already

melee scene has never been big at any point of it's existence. it's hardly even a real esport.

As opposed to the living gods that are FPS players obviously.
youtube.com/watch?v=R7HbCkU_-cM

"New" as in it's probably from the new AH game they were making already, yes.

If I were to be honest: I'm actually fine with games not being the prettiest graphically. If a game is good but has weak visuals. Sure, PS1 Andy is funny to make fun of, but I'm not going to cry a river over the game models if they still do the job.

Excepting SNK Heroines that game is just ugly 0/10 'no way fag'

UNIST is literally just melty without the type moon license.

It's somewhat big compared to Fighting games and even most fps

That certainly explains why Melee gets the second most views at EVO.

if that's your stance then the fgc as a whole is hardly a real esport. As is melee is objectively bigger than than everything except street fighter and sometimes tekken

The entire FGC has known Wizzy takes bribes since Injustice 1 got in several months after the EVO games was announced, but now that Meleefags are the one saying it /vee/ will pretend like it's a conspiracy theory.

>esports
>real
But still, nice multilayered bait

I agree. And I like fighting games. The so-called "pros" are trash and are killing the genre. Them and their followers. Some of funny and insightful. But most of them are autists. I'd bet they don't even like the actual games, 'cause if you listen to them talk about gameplay it's in a robotic, datarized way. They don't even say kicks or punches; they call them by number.

how much does an evo slot cost? Mr. wizard isn't a millionaire business man so it's probably not alot. If smashies really want their game at evo they should crowdfund themselves in.

>they call them by number
I'm sorry, what? How is using number notation, which is by far the easiest way to talk about combo inputs, showing that you don't like the game?

Deviation from a set schedule can cause anxiety and irritation in people with autism. Despite the stereotype, this varies heavily among people with clinically diagnosed autism and most of those that suffer from autism don't mind change at all or only feel a little uncomfortable. It's not a phobia. Read a book before trying to sound like a smart ass.

anyone else remember the time they had mario kart. I remember.

I dare you to translate any anime combo into whatever the fuck notation you have cooked up.

hbox deserves it if so. imagine ditching something you have worked to for years and a stable job to play a nearly 20 year old video game all day. what little money is in it will run dry eventually
