EVO WORLD - Fighting Games Finals (August 24 - 26) OVER $10000 in Prizes!!!

[The Game II]

wow, 1 match sucks. i know they have to shorten things somehow, but i really wish there was a better way :/ and it sucks not only for melee, but for the other fighters too

I think it speaks to the truth that these type of tournaments are getting bigger and bigger every year. And that's a good thing because more people are trying to get into the competitive scene.

After EVO West, I really thought there were going to be less than 100 Melee players because there was so little talk here and on other forums. To get 270 (and it could have been more but people were doing sleep johnz and travel johns), that's great.

SoCal should be reppin this ish. Numbers 1, 2, 3 and 5 all in the finals, three of them unbeaten.

IMO, they should've had online registration and no on-site. That way no one can john about 1 Match DE.

 

[$ick]

**** yeah, go Socal. Get some revengies for OC3. ^_^

yeah, i agree.
also, i thought ken retired? and go mango you got this ****.

 

[P.c. Chris]

what a weird day.. lol

 

[TheManaLord]

I just had an idea... three stock matches. Still best of three.


That would be better than one match imo :O Maybe even two stock matches if time is REALLY low.

 

[WhiteOblv]

mango....good god...bro. socal represent!!!

 

[NeighborhoodP]

Anyone have any other updates, like who DSF / Hugs and such went through?

 

[Hirsine]

Wow,.................just wow Mango.
That's totally awesome!

Would be even more crazy if Mango beat M2k in a best of 3. =)

 

[Maverick's C0CK]

[Rickety]

Yay! Go Chris! I hope you and Chu represent Team Kirra! <3

Hmm, Ken, PC, Chu, DSF/Alex, Hugo, Mango<3, Eddie.... too many loves!

Go chris your fox is too **** smooth!

 

[TAK$]

Chu/Chillin you guys got this **** ! bring it home for VA, yayhuzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!

They tried that once...and ended up having large masses of people not show, and then had to redo the entire bracket on the spot.

 

[CAOTIC]

Go everyone!!

 

[araknophobik]

lmfao half of the top 8 is socal
ahahaha
too good

edit:
if the bracket on getyourtournament.com is correct im thinking alex or hugo has a good shot at top 3 if hugo takes out pc's falco
ken will most likely win unless he meets up with pc
so pc has to get past hugo and chu ahaha cuz if he doesn't ken is gonna **** chu or hugo

 

[EdreesesPieces]

Good Job Hugo, Mango, Dsf And Ken!!! My apologiies for not repping socal this weekend but you guys did more than enough!! hehee =)

 

[AlphaZealot]

1. PC Chris
2. Ken
3. ChuDat
4. Mango
5. Hugs
5. DSF
7. Chillin
7. Eddie

Assuming the bracket on GYT is correct. I don't think it is though because it isn't sending the person from round 2 winners (who loses) to the opposite side of the bracket. So, if the bracket is wrong it could look like this:

1. PC Chris
2. Ken
3. CuDat
4. Hugs
5. Mango
5. DSF
7. Eddie
7. Chillin

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

wow best of 1 set.... what a cluster****...

 

[Omni]

PC is so rich.

 

[Eggm]

Yeah if pc wins... hes the vegas champ 15,000 in prize money off smash from there too good. xDD I would have to say that the majority of the time whoever wins r1 wins a best of 3 anyways since you get to counter pick stage AND character, but yeah best of 1 sucks. lots of pressure.

 

[The Game II]

If people missed it ... I copied the bracket as it was being played out on Saturday and then put it to TIO (no photoshopping done).

Again, it's only scheduled, it could change.

I'm leaving in 30 minutes to begin work, and I won't likely know who is really playing who until that game begins.

For those who didn't see the notice, if I can get internet access, then I'm going to update throughout the day, and I'll post the links. If I can't get internet access, then I'm going to update the Melee tournament right when it's over.

[slikvik]

best of 1? evo is ********

 

[kiwiii]

hahaha
i wonder what retirement really means to ken

best out of 1 set.. too good!

where is mew2king

 

[Vegard]

Mew2king got knocked out by Mango and Chillin >_> didn't make top 8.

 

[NusCirtap]

That is pretty crazy...

But yay, go PC!

 

[AzN_Lep]

Fabian ya gotta remember, PC's everything *****, he might not even go Falco vs Hugo. Either way I'm pullin' for HugS though. Go SoCal!

edit: Mango for top 3 at Evo!

 

[The Game II]

As I used to say back in Salinas - It's on like light switches.

The updates will begin in a few minutes.

yeah didnt he use sheik + peach at 0c3 when he won?

 

[AlphaZealot]

Please tell me they have switched to either best of 3 or 5 by now...

 

[nublet06]

Please tell me they have switched to either best of 3 or 5 by now...

they already did that yesterday. the single round was only for some stupid *** first bracket.

for instance mango played mew2king FIRST....and it was only one round.

but then mango played chillin later on and it was a best of 3. because i know that chillin used tried to counter pick with marth.

 

[AzN_Lep]

yes they did, it's double elim. best 2/3. People with one loss from qualifiers start in the losers bracket, Game II has it all up on his site, brackets included.

mango mango, mango mango mango, mangooooooo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8OMQuKKdnM

 

[The Game II]

They just ran VF5 in its entirety (2/3, 3/5 only in the finals).

Uh ... by the way they're on the verge of DQing the Guilty Gear XX teams that are not here.

Those who can alert the final 8 melee players should let them know that they're not playing when it comes to being punctual.

[Adi]

Eww even first round matches shouldn't just be 1 match per set, that's just ********..

 

[NeighborhoodP]

Eww even first round matches shouldn't just be 1 match per set, that's just ********..

Time.

Restraints.

 

[The Game II]

Eww even first round matches shouldn't just be 1 match per set, that's just ********..

For those who didn't know, Melee wasn't the only game hit with the 1-round rule. They did 3s 1-round matches.

= = =

I thought the tournament would be running late, but thanks to some guilty gear teams not showing, the tournament is ahead of schedule.

[The Game II]

They're at the CvS2 finals, so Melee is about to begin very soon.

Get hype, as they say.
