Just as a heads up, Mike Z was on Cross Counter Live last night. Here's the interview: http://thestream.tv/mike-z-lead-designer-of-skullgirls-304/ Of course they screw up details for melee as usual, but Mike was pretty good about it (he didn't mention anything negative at all, etc. etc.)...

I'm pretty sure they'll have a good amount now that there's a guaranteed $1000.00 in the pot. Of course the players who would have gone to play Skullgirls regardless of this announcement will probably sweep the floor with them.

Looks like Skullgirls is getting additional EVO support (http://shoryuken.com/2013/02/04/skullgirls-gets-cash-exhibition-support-at-evo-2013/), so it looks like we don't have to feel as bad if it can't make it into Genesis. Still, it would be nice! And the $1000.00 added to the pot sounds...

http://shoryuken.com/2013/02/04/skullgirls-gets-cash-exhibition-support-at-evo-2013/ Looks like their ability to crank out a pretty impressive number for donations (considering their population) has turned some heads, and EVO's stepping up its support. I'd normally say "hopefully enough...

Yyyyyeah, I wouldn't be surprised if nothing came from it. At this point I'm so used to living with the contempt of Nintendo that it doesn't really bother me that none of them really give two ****s about anybody who wants to try and play it competitively. The news of Namco-Bandai helping out...

Yeah I'd totally be willing to play SG there... too bad if doesn't get miraculously moved to New York City I'm.... well, probably not going. And I'm sure if it did get moved to NYC, then there wouldn't be any SG players for sure, because apparently most of the SG fans that can actually...

I think this is a good point. Personally, I think that the SG community is only going to start expanding from here (even though they didn't win, they certainly attracted a boatload of attention, and their upcoming DLC and PC release is sure to get a new crowd... and of course the eventual...

They said they were going to investigate all the funds for all three games, I believe. I think that's why as of right now Melee's considered an "unofficial" winner, to be made official once they're done. I'm sure there won't be any issues for us :)

I'm going to get a MIKE Z tattoo somewhere nobody can see.

Aside from one or two trolls or salty players (or both), I haven't seen all that hate on melee. Actually, I think we've been showing them a lot more hate, and I really wish it could be toned back because they're a damn tight community. I can only imagine how our players would act if we...

Agreed, no reason to overreact to one salty troll. I've been interacting with their community (even created an account for them) and they've been absolutely amazing about this. All of the responses I've read on their forums go something like "I would have been happier to see SG on EVO but...

I'm pretty sure if Mike Z got put in charge of the next smash the world would end There's no way Nintendo cares enough about us to the point where they'd give us a guy in charge that actually listens to his fans :(

I absolutely agree about how lowbrow games journalism has become these days (and this might be against popular opinion, but I actually despite Kotaku because I find them to be one of the sensationalists and refuse to visit their page for anything whatsoever), but I just want to say that I wasn't...

And for the sake of Palutena, please shave all our beards!

Yeah, as much as I do like brawl (never bothered to change my sig from 5 years ago after all), I don't think Sakurai himself is very interested in the competitive melee community in North America. I have high hopes for SSB4 though since it due to Namco's involvement. I think it would be a lot...
