I think it might be a good idea. To pass the spirit bomb to skullgirls. Their effort combined with ours would be might be enough to close the deal for em. ONE guy is shouldering the entire thing. If we can clear 50k we'd have it. Let me say I really like st but it has nothing to gain by getting another evo. Ideally it would be melee but just think about this, wasn't the whole point of melee @ evo to get the respect of the FGC? This is how we can do it. What do you guys think?*

No lmao the point was to get a big *** tournament with a big *** crowd.

Why would that make them respect us anyway

This will never happen. For one thing, we both strongly believe that we have more than the other side. You could not convince the huge number of people in this community to help out with that spirit bomb for someone else. It wouldn't be nearly as effective. Now, if we could somehow get Number 13 to reveal how much their community actually has hidden for sniping (in addition to the surprises that are in store for the Skullgirls stream and the amount he expects to get from them), maybe we could make a decision on whether we can hope to match them. Or we can convince him that his hidden snipe is too low and it's doubtful their donation drive will be enough. But I don't think that is going to happen. Close the thread. This is only going to get worse in here.

maybe if it looks hopeless with 5 minutes from the clock

itd be funny if 10 minutes from the end sg and ssbm independently decide to send each other their own drive money in hopes of beating out st and ultimately cancel each other out

At this point unless we pass 50k by a fair margin it won't mean anything. If we combine the total from the SG drive and our own, skullgirls could have it. There is no way we could get them to cover us. Personally I see melee as the most deserving, but we might not get anything by sticking to our guns. Backing skullgirls would almost guarantee the win for them. If the melee community sat back and helped SG that would speak volumes about how mature we are.

Just drop it, dude. Nobody is going to do it, and nobody cares about seeing Skullgirls instead of Street Fighter.
Also, it ain't over at all.

Well as much as I hate seeing people say they prefer a old dusty game that's already lived it's life like Super Turbo over a fresh new title that can kick off it's own franchise and create new memorable characters like SkullGirls, they are right. You guys are tied with ST, you have no reason to give up.

We can fight our own fight, you can fight yours. In the end, only one will come out on top.


That's all that matters.

All I just want is a happy ending. Harmony and Peace between our two communities...no matter what both our ideals are. Just no more personal attacks on each other, that's all I hope for in the end of all this.

It'd be baller as **** if we brought this back, but remember they have 50thousand on top of what ever the FGC throws in.

Look, personally, I just don't care about neither of them. But I could answer you and say that we'd have a SK tourney at Genesis, so you guys should help us instead of letting ST win. But you won't do that - which is fine of course.

@ Vkrm: then I'll make sure they spend every single damn cent, at least it goes from their pockets to something useful

Well to be honest, I'm not sure what to think. I would love to have a SG's tourney at Genesis, but I don't want to by being bribed. I would want to legitimately talk with the TO's themselves and my own community to get it into Genesis.

Even though I don't really want to see ST win.
