Event - EVO 2013 (Breast Cancer Research Drive) Melee @ Evo2k13 Donation Topic

[Exeggutorr]

What's there to spy on? It's not like I can stop you or anything, but knowing your opponent is half the battle right?

And I will probably still post here, hoping that you guys will at least keep your word that you'll try to support SkullGirls and not backstab us in the end.

And I know nobody cares, I was just asking because your community seems busy, I don't want to bother you guys.

It's really hard to say if the Melee community will support Skullgirls. The Skullgirls community is basically the FGC because Skullgirls is just another 2d fighter, I know some may disagree but it's the same. So really our support isn't going to mean anything compared to the FGC supporting it.

Like Skisonic said on MIOM last night, Melee is a fighting game too. We have no reason not to consider ourselves a part of the FGC other than this dumb inferiority complex that some people have been perpetuating. That being said, I think supporting/collaborating with the SG community, which, like us, is very much a grassroots community, in the future would be super cool. Boback didn't rule out the possibility of having it as a side event at Genesis 3 given that there is enough time to run it.

 

[KoopaTroopa895]

Depends....

Are you spying on us?

Once this is over, Win or lose, would you ever post here ever again?

Dude im pretty sure people our lurking our threads just as much we are theres(I know there is quite a few including me) so I wouldn't worry about something crazy like spying

Please this.

This so much.

We should really support a grassroots community that's practically rejected because of things out of the communities control.

A lot of people in the FGC speak of how legit SG/Melee is, but in the end, there is always something turning them away from the game.

 

[BrandX]

This is what I love seeing. Two rejected communities coming together. I don't really care what happens, I just want Skullgirls to live for years to come lol

[GunmasterLombardi]

Lol somebody donated like $50 to Playstation All Stars.

That's quite a statement even though the game can't win without Sony.

Poor Melty Blood with only $40.

 

[BrandX]

Its amazing how low the other games are...

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

tbh going into this I thought Guilty Gear, Third Strike, and MLP were our biggest competition.

Boy was I wrong. Skullgirls came out of left field...you guys should be very proud of yourselves.

I remember when I was super active on boards and had 120-300 posts daily. That was like 10-12 years ago too back when I was really into Pokemon. ( The board was a Pokemon board named PokeAbode )

I'm not impressed =P

 

[Theftz22]

I kinda wanna learn skullgirls now.

 

[_wzrd]

i too remember when i was 13

[~tgm_Zeej]

I bought Skullgirls a grand total of four times, and if it gets put out on Steam, it'll probably be around six or seven.

But without Melee, I wouldn't have gotten into fighting games at all, and I certainly wouldn't have developed the right mindset for competition in them. So if we've gotta choose one, I gotta go with my first love.

eh, I'm 29. 12 years would have made me 17. Was a huge forum addict back then and met a lot of interesting people too.

Grew in interest in drawing as well, which I'm happy to call a hobby now at least.

[hectohertz]

so what's our anti-sniping strategy?


(assuming that SG will try to snipe with a massive donation rush right at the end)

 

[Kink-Link5]

What the **** is lel

That **** sounds super ********.

Possibly going to throw in another dollar or two now that I have a bit more money in my credit union account.

Does a dollar or two equate to $500?

 

[smashmachine]

You know, I think someone else should set up a 2nd donation stream towards the end of the month

Way ahead of you.

[scientology]

 

[Exeggutorr]

I think there is a donation tournament in San Diego at the end of the month. So that will probably be the last nail in the coffin for the donation drive.

nah, we need another $10000 stream

It sounds like we're going to have a setup at the next No Johns! Plus, SG has an amazing tutorial for all 2D fighters, not just SG. Plus a jazzy soundtrack...monstrous.

 

[VASH]

Number 13 over on the SG boards seems to believe that a last minute "Snipe" donation will throw us into chaos and turmoil. I disagree, most of the people who donated are going to be monitoring the numbers until the end. However i feel we should organize a final donation drive to be held in the final hours. Lets finish this four stock with a spike.

 

[~tgm_Zeej]

I suppose fighting dirty is acceptable when it's actively plotting to bid-snipe a donation drive to cure a horrible illness...but this still seems a little silly. xD;

I love you

S'what I do it for. ;D

^ This. I would like to get learn other fighting games too, though Melee would still be my main game. I mostly understand tradition 2d fighters but I'm clueless when it comes to 3d fighters lol.
