EVO Pools Released

[Battlecow]

I heard some rumors about Javi coming, that's not true, I take it?

 

[Revven]

Yeah it's not, I think the Mexicans were joking like always.

 

[XavierSylfaen]

A61-E here. Jesse Ewing where you at?

Also, I'm flying out to Vegas Friday morning and arriving at 7, I hope I can get to my match in an hour from the airport. It'd suck to be DQed first round because of time constraints. Fingers crossed on that one. It wouldn't be the end of the world because I could still do friendlies, but I hope I can get there on time.

 

[LLDL]

if you arrive at 7. it'll take you 5-10 minutes to shuttle from the airport to the paris. the only way you'd be late is if your plane delayed.

 

[clowsui]

Javi isn't coming. 'No voy a ir a evo wey' was his response to me on twitter.

 

[Pawls to the Wall]

Which Dmac is in pool A58, cuz I know there's more than one. Fox main? Ganon main?

 

[smashmachine]

just for fun, here's each game and the number of people only signed up for that game (each game is missing like 5% of entries though):

King of Fighters XIII 114/411 (28%)
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 432/1240 (35%)
Super Smash Bros Melee 394/664 (59%)
Mortal Kombat 9 22/190 (12%)
Super Street Fighter IV 505/1506 (33%)
Injustice: Gods Among Us 69/557 (12%)
Persona 4 Arena 126/383 (33%)
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 134/339 (40%)
Street Fighter X Tekken 36/522 (7%)

Interesting. That means melee brings something proprietary to EVO: lots of players who wouldn't otherwise be there. Compare with a game like SFxT, if that got shafted, it's unlikely EVO would lose many players. With 3rd highest entrants and 59% exclusivity, from a purely business perspective, melee looks like a game I'd want on the roster.

 

[R2_GP]

i was thinking.....does EVO had to notify Nintendo about this?? ask permissions? something?

 

[Revven]

Nope. Nintendo doesn't care.

well there was the MLG fiasco causing Brawl not to be streamed, but nope
(I think that incidence is one reason many don't trust Nintendo with SSB4)

Where'd you find this? Link? I find it hilarious cause all the salty games were saying all the other game players probably entered for fun, its great cause a LOT if our players entered other games when you start looking through them.

somewhere on something awful, dunno how they got that though

 

[KrIsP!]

Well all the information is out there if someone wanted to painstakingly write down every entrants game, I suppose its possible to get a program to graph out all the information but im hesitant to take anything unofficial as fact. Still, it seems believable enough.

 

[t3h Icy]

What else is interesting is that the number of players only there for Melee still outnumbers the entrants of Pound 4.

 

[Revven]

MLG was just stupid about it, thinking Nintendo would actually be mad if they streamed SSBB. When in truth, Nintendo wouldn't have cared (and they didn't as evidenced by them not responding at all). MLG was playing it safe for no reason at all.

 

[R2_GP]

you guys think Nintendo knows about 696 dudes playing their 12 year old game at a widely known fighting game tournament???

 

[Revven]

No, I don't think they do.

 

[Djent]

There's no way they don't know, but only time will tell if they care. MLG didn't make them give a ****, so I'm not terribly optimistic.

 

[michael_li]

why did they put silentwolf in my pool? , shiz pool is before mine

how do i report unfair changes??

• 1. shiz pool + michael li pool are identically free
• 2. shiz pool is before michael li's pool
• 3. putting silent wolf into michael li's pool before shiz pool is unfair
• 4. shiz pool also has a bye
  5. michael li gets screwed over.

this aint a joke. i need help.

^^^^^^ ^^^^^^
Although I am assuming most of the above post was a joke.

yeah that's true (I mean MLG has continuation sets, proof they're stupid #flawlesslogic)

 

[Revven]

If all Sakurai is aware of is some small regional Japanese tournaments, I very much doubt Nintendo of Japan is aware of the US scene either. NoA might be a different story but even then I doubt it.

You'd have to be insanely loud on their social media to get them to notice what their competitive community (the one they shun at any chance they get) did this past year and even then I doubt you would get a reaction from them.

Not proof by any means but I thought this was funny. If you're not aware he is a translator for Miyamoto and has appeared in several Nintendo Directs with Reggie recently, and I could be mistaken but I believe he was the Mario that played against Sakurai's Megaman at E3.

region-free campaign extension
let's do this

It's pretty well known the Nintendo Treehouse group play Melee over Brawl. Doesn't mean much! NoA has like no say in anything (except, apparently, Animal Crossing... but that's the localization team).

That's the fox/ganon from the MW. He mains both.
