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

[Construct]

Words cannot express how happy I am. This is just unreal.

 

[BrandX]

I see us bonding in a way that we could support each other. Sure each game is different, but by supporting each other we can not only bring in more players for each community, but to create new connections and new friendship.

Personally you can just say its my smash/skullgirls soul wanting us to help each other.

But in one case, skullgirls has built exposure and a bright future for itself.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

Damn, I remember saying "Go for 50K!" in the twitch chat. But this was an unexpected result.....
You, we, are...So Awesome. Awesome job, guys.

 

[Shadocat]

WE IN THERE!!! LETS GO!!!!

 

[himynameisruss]

yeah, just got to worked and checked. i was expecting 45-50k. where the hell did this 90k+ come from? jesus.

good job guys.

 

[Ether]

I was in and out of consciousness. I woke up with one hour to go and Scar telling everyone to donate as much as they can especially if they have a steady job. Then I fell asleep again.

I did not expect our final power level. Damn.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

It's over 90,000!!!!

 

[prOAPC]

i won't read 4000+ messages, just tell me, what is Ken and Armada thinking about this?

 

[Isprayaxe]

It's over 90,000!!!!

LMAO sooo true

 

[Lukahn]

Every last bit has counted.

GG us.

 

[Sedda]

Holy crap... I went to sleep at like 1 am (already at 60k I think). I thought that would be our last stand, but I guess the Smash community wanted to throw another spirit bomb at Cancer lol.

 

[Rlarge]

Wow guys this is just amazing. Really proud of the community, hopefully see everyone at EVO!

 

[*JuriHan*]

I haven't been on here forever, I don't play Smash anymore, but this is wonderful news. I've been discontent with Nintendo and the direction they are taking their games, maybe this is what we need for them to see we have devoted players who are passionate about the competitive side of the game.

Maybe it will encourage them to make a game that satisfies both the casual and competitive players.

Congrats!

 

[Kink-Link5]

Now no one can afford to go to evo because we spent all our money to get our game into evo

 

[Onomanic]

So what's next?

 

[KanyeRest]

waffles for evo 2013 commentary please

 

[Smilax]

Congratulations everybody in the Smash World!
As a Skullgirls supporter, you guys are amazing, thank you so much for your donations!

I can't wait to meet you guys/girls at EVO!

 

[Todd Bonney]

When I went to bed, it was like 63k to 45k. This is unbelievable.

 

[Revven]

Also, big props to Alex Strife and Apex staff for bringing Smash onto the spotlight at the beginning of the month. I don't think the amount of support Melee and Smash has been getting as a whole would be as great as it is on the outside of here now without that awesome tournament. Let's not forget them and I hope Apex staff are aware we love them just as much!

 

[jerflip]

So what's next?

practice for evo

make sure we paint the community in a good light

etc.

so, no splitting/forfeiting/choking

 

[TeeVee]

so you guys pay 90k to get your game into a tournament to be played on laggy hdtvs, to get thrown on the not main stream (with most likely around 1k - 2k viewers), with grand finals at 9 am, in a venue where 95 percent of the people there hate you and your game?



what happened to you melee community

 

[Violence]

I fell asleep at 11:30 pm.

I literally dreamt that I woke up, checked the final results, and it was ST at 78000, Melee at 75000.

When I did wake up, I grabbed my phone half-heartedly, thinking I had already checked and we'd already lost.

When I saw the numbers, I thought I was dreaming.

I have no words to express the shock and awe I feel right now.

Good ****, Smash community, good **** to everyone who contributed.

We're going to Vegas. **** the haters.

 

[-Ran]

Mr. Wizard was on the stream after we won, and stated they will be getting CRTs for us, even if they have to rent them.

what happened to you melee community

The whole point of this was that it will be a main game on the main stream. I went to Evo last year, and although I went as a Marvel player I introduced myself to everyone as a Melee player. There is no majority that hates the game, but maybe a very vocal minority (and one that I did not encounter whatsoever). There were a couple Melee setups in the BYOC section and everyone there was having a blast with no hate from the FGC to speak of.

lol no. they will be played on all crts (that evo staff will purchase/rent themselves JUST to run smash) and it will be a main stream game. As for the 9am and the venue, won't respond to that lol.

 

[DrinkingFood]

Fanatiq is not happy which makes me happy.

One button dash....

...****ing kidding me...

What's wrong with that? Smash has a 0 button dash

Well for one MrWizard said he's getting CRT's for us so I imagine he's got a little more respect for us than that.

 

[Revven]

what happened to you melee smash community

Fixed that for you. It wasn't just Melee, bro.

Thanks, Smilax! Congratulations on your amazing performance yesterday; 31k to 76k is incredible (45 000 for charity in 6 hours? Ridiculous.)

Look forward to meeting you guys at Evo.

 

[BrandX]

Im expecting hugs, hand shakes, fist bumps and smooches when I meet you all <3

 

[Goodin]

Ahah I will be watching Evo from the stream. I want the people there to have extra fun for the players that arent gonna be able to make it.

 

[Teran]

Get back from work to check figure.

94k

My *****s

 

[SophyBer]

Fixed that for you. It wasn't just Melee, bro.

"Whether you play Melee, Brawl, or 64.
Whether you're young or old.
Whether you're old or new.
Whether you're competitive or casual.
Whether you're a tournament player or an avid stream watcher.
We are ALL Smashers; long live the Smash community!"

That you for your comment, Revven.

 

[Calzum!]

Went to bed at 61k at about 6am with 2 hours to go

Look at it with I get up


Sh***********************

 

[Life]

I'm still half-asleep because I have classes at 9:30 and 11AM on Fridays.

I regret nothing.

(ought to take a nap)

 

[NickSF93]

I was up until 4 listening to screaming and DBZ references as people emptied their wallets.

I woke up at 7:30 to go to school and am sitting here feeling like I was hit by a truck, but it was totally worth it.
Go melee!

 

[Habefiet]

Had to go to bed last night before the drive was done, had an important meeting early this morning that I couldn't afford to be tired for. I went to bed not knowing what was going to happen.

This is amazing.

Big, big love for Scar and Prog for being so instrumental in putting this thing together. Big, big love to all donors. Unreal.

Time to start trying to scrape up the money to become a pot filler this summer :D

 

[DrinkingFood]

Real pros slept from 6 to 11 that evening (central) so they could stay up til 3 to follow the results and celebration afterward, then sleep another four and go to 8 am classes comfortably

I was in class from 7-11 EST. Unfortunate timing, but worth it.

LOOOOOOOOL

Various life circumstances prevented this from occurring, definitely a pro strat though.
