OH ****

i guess i have to figure the itunes thing out tonight - people should be able to listen to it on their planes

google it, I think you need to make an itunes account and then apply which might not be immediate. However, if you were to record the audio, cause let's face it no one really NEEDS the video on a plane, while you do the podcast then you could upload the file to a drop box account which be much easier for everybody. Of course they need to put it into itunes and it may need converting but that's easy and google is everybody's friend.

@cake yeah it was super close and intense, really fun set, watch it if you haven't :D

and @krisp that's another great idea, dropbox in mp3 format

 

[V-K]

Is there an episode 3 now? The OP only says 1 and 2.

 

[thespymachine]

Yeah, Scar is really slacking with the OP. lol

Well, the stream issues should definitely be a topic for the next Melee it on me. It would be great to have some more specifics, because it seemed beyond extraordinary circumstances (the usual lateness any tournament experiences) and why Melee had the ghetto stream. Discussing this would further improve the administration of tournaments in the future in my opinion.

If I am being an ungrateful ******* and I completely presumed things incorrect sorry but that was crazy. Seriously.

Edit:

tl;dr

Melee players late, or fail stream?

 

[KrIsP!]

what specifically are you talking about? If crews they had the mains tream, hardly ghetto. M2K and Mango didn't show up on time and PP said he was gunna play friendlies cause they never need him and it's sad because they never do.

If your talking about bracket being on bifuteki today, come on man there are 10 games, let sf top 8 get main stream for a minute.

Today (Sunday).

Next episode (I'm fairly certain) is Wednesday night at 9 PM EST, 8 PM Preshow.

Major topics:
APEX 2013
The EVO Situation

Special Guest: Skisonic

 

[Smooth Criminal]

O_O Skisonic?!

Siiiiiick. I gotta tune in for that.

Today (Sunday).

Gonna make this quick before class:

The other fighting games got the ****ty ghetto stream Saturday, too. There was no reason, however, to shove Melee to the forefront on the main stream because the other games have to get their time on the main stage as well. If the other games were pushed aside for Melee, that would be a lot of lost respect and also really, really unfair to those games/communities.

Why Melee was on Bifuteki instead of ClashTournaments? Because Brawl also needed its own, quality stream. Sucks that Bifuteki had his hard drive crash on him during Melee on Sunday during important and hype matches, but streaming really isn't as easy as most entitled Smashers/viewers seem to think it is.

Edit: Also, HYPED for Wed.! Skisonic's gonna be there? That's a really, really awesome collab. I hope Ski shouts it out on WakeUp SRK.

This. It's not bifu's fault, equipment fails. I'm just happy someone had the awareness to record those matches and upload them.

Oh wait, that was me

for the finish to Hbox vs Leffen and Hax vs PP Sets.

Also, for a bit, I'll be matching donations up to a certain amount during the podcast. Scar hasn't updated it yet:

8 PM EST for the preshow, 9 PM for the show itself, join the FB group.

 

[Scar]

Updated and let's get some topics going!

My impression of Apex was overwhelmingly positive. Here are a few bullets I'd like to bring up - please add to the list by commenting here and I'd love to take call-ins about your topic.

THE GOOD

• 300+ players
• An incredible number of setups
• Amazing tournament matches
• Incredible spectator conditions

THE BAD

• Huge brackets and a slow day 1 and 2
• So many 2/3 sets
• Thieves

THE UGLY

• Bracket Pools
• Scar/SFAT vs Leffen/Ice in teams (promise I won't talk about this too much and FWIW I think Leffen did the right thing)
• MORE DSR issues

 

[Pakman]

Did you still want to talk about Bracket pools or was the ad hoc show enough for that topic?

During episode three I wanted to talk about Project M, it's place in Smash/Melee, and what the future entails (with or without Project M) - can I call in next episode for that?. I have you added, I'm "thespymachine" on Skype as well.
What time do you guys plan on doing call ins?

 

[KrIsP!]

As for apex....ahh i guess you don't need to talk about the secondarys that much, maybe give brawl some credit though, many seemed pleased even after melee screwed up their time.

Should talk about Genesis and Evo being so close together/how it will effect turn outs good or bad and what chance melee has at this point (with all the recent updates). and all the other FGC feelings after apex.

edit: and if you get PP on it'd be interesting to hear if anything went down at IE's house after apex with all those top players packed together. Did they rematch armada or how M2K felt afterwards.

It'll be interesting to see what SkiSonic will have to say about all of these things, if anything at all (assuming he's gonna be there right from the start, haha).

 

[Dr Peepee]

I got more time

kinda wanna get on this thingy

 

[Scar]

Firstly, GDoc Link here. Bookmark it por favor. And, FB group here - join this too =D

What time do you guys plan on doing call ins?

We'll be doing call-ins throughout the show, and once we get through the agenda we always just open it up for an hour or so. This show might not be phenomenal for that since we have so much to discuss re: Apex but if time permits we'll do it for sure :D

Apex: top players have 2+ characters, and brawl
G3/Evo
FGC reaction

Yeah I think we'll discuss all of it besides Brawl, unless someone wants to call in for it. It's a Melee podcast and we are all Melee players so I don't have much to say on that =(

kinda wanna get on this thingy

ya man just call in

 

[KrIsP!]

Checked the google doc, didn't know you could view anything being written in real time..freaked me out until I saw scar put (I might get crazy) and editted it to (let's get crazy). Imaginary ghost wrting to me made me lol

 

[Scar]

That's the beauty of it

I'd like for people to keep it open during the cast so they can see what we're writing down and participate in the stream chat / by calling in with regards to our notes and ideas.

 

[V-K]

Is there a way to download the podcasts? I can't hear them on the go when they are only on twitch.

I'll work on figuring that out!

 

[Vkrm]

What's this I've been hearing about ski sonic?

 

[prog]

He'll be on the episode tomorrow night!

 

[Revven]

Let's hype this episode guys, come on.

 

[Vkrm]

Yeah....

Why isn't on the news section on the front page?

 

[Juggleguy]

I'll be tuning in and donating additional money. Looking forward to this, huge props to Scar and company for organizing it.

 

[GimR]

I'll definitely be donating $50

 

[Scar]

I love it GIMR - that's another $200 towards Melee @ EVO 2013

 

[Atlus8]

Probably best to do the Apex 2013 recap first so we can get more people on the stream until we start donating!

 

[RFrizzle]

I have a hard **** for the melee community right now

 

[Super]

Hmm how has no one posted the evo fund on the major youtube channels yet? waffles,meleepacwest/atlnorth.
