Well Zhu got off.

But no M2k

 

[OverLade]

Stream is back. Choppy though.

 

[Velox]

You sound a little emotionally invested. The Brawl commentary was fine.

don't try and defend it.. it sucked..

melee's on the other hand was amazing and borderline hilarious..
"good coverage.. looking like Verizon!"

Corny if you ask me, but whatever.

Melee's commentary was nothing special until the end.
Brawl's commentary... well, that's just Diem. You either love him or hate him. You get it or you don't.

 

[h!tboxexplo!ter]

hold the phone.... zhu straight beat armada in crews?

 

[Hey_its_YO]

Yeah M2K was our unused man, Europe wanted him in but he was playing brawl friendlies i think, lol.

Edit: Yes he did, he layed the whoop on him.

 

[Cyphus]

there is such a thing as commentating in good taste. when u have humor not constantly relying on the expense of players mistakes. its just bashing.

and when u say the N word, the F word, etc...and insult people in the chat...

and when u voice YOUR opinion of characters and matchups as a commentator, and tell anyone else who has a different opinion..that they're an IDIOT...

no.
commentating is NOT fine. and its not cute or funny. its being a prick.

EDIT:
they weren't paid to comment. they took a position of power and abused it.

so GF is Ally vs. ADHD 0_0

 

[h!tboxexplo!ter]

gotta love zhu.... man i thought zhu had hbox too that first match was disgusting. For that matter i think all top player that use a character that has falc in it, are great.

 

[Melomaniacal]

so GF is Ally vs. ADHD 0_0

Ally and M2K are on game 5 now.

M2K timed out Ally and wins.

LOLWIN

 

[AvaricePanda]

Diem as a comedian was fine, as a commentator not really.

I don't dislike Diem and actually think he's pretty funny, but I get where Cyphus is coming from; a commentator needs to be to some degree respectful and respectable. Constant cynicism and insulting of others doesn't flow over too well with the "VGBootCamp enormous tournament!" vibe. To watch major matches in a major tournament and hear Diem's insults and curses at players/people in the chat, and his major views on the game...it just doesn't flow well.

 

[Lawlb0t]

There was a commentator who said Chu is a nobody, was he trollin? LOL.

 

[Johnny Citrus]

Ally and M2K are on game 5 now.

M2K timed out Ally and wins.

LOLWIN

yeah my b someone said Ally won and it was really just game 4 lol

 

[ETWIST51294]

You know you guys ****ed up when Cyphus posts.

He's a MAD old school Doc.

And I might have to change my tag to Mr Smith.

****

 

[AvaricePanda]

Despite Diem's usually cynical commentary, him and coney have awesome GF commentary right now.

 

[Charlesz]

what happened to crews? =[

 

[Eddie G]

coughwafflesandphilcough

Waffles and Phil have respect for other players. Diem is just an ******* who took (and abused) a form of authority/power. He's an ******* in person too. I was there.

Not really worth defending...at all.

 

[xXx-NoobKing-xXx]

Ally and M2K are on game 5 now.

M2K timed out Ally and wins.

LOLWIN

Wow, I wish I was able to watch the livestream for that. Would have been so exciting. This is just one of the MANY reasons why brawl > melee. That whole captian falcon thing with SS, darkrain, hax, and scar and getting to see SS and Darkrain BEAST in teams along with super hyped singles melee matches just CAN'T COMPARE TO THE THRILL AND EXCITEMENT OF BRAWL! TIMING OUT IN THE GRAND FINALS OF A TOURNAMENT MATCH??? MELEE DOESN'T EVEN COMPARE TO SOMETHING AS EXCITING AS THAT! OH NO! NO WAY!

DOT DOT DOT DOT DOT

 

[Exetus]

what happened to crews? =[

Assuming you mean Melee, USA won by 7 stocks. I hope this works, if not, it's described in post 19875:
http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=9336867&postcount=19875

 

[Hey_its_YO]

what happened to crews? =[

Because of people leaving for flights and just plain leaving and time there was a lack of talent/hype for crews.
USA beat EUROPE (i posted the results earlier) and after that EC and WC were supposed to go on but Mango could not get in contact with Lucky leaving them down a man. Mango tried recruiting Germ but then they decided that they didn't want to do crews.

 

[Charlesz]

lol good **** adam brown.

 

[MK26]

3-0'd

ggs adhd

 

[adhdsoad]

So where will all the vids be?

 

[l0zR=)]

What a freaking AMAZING tournament!!!!

 

[AvaricePanda]

wait I suck, that was TheTantalus and Coney not DMBrandon and Coney.
nvm

 

[M@v]

m2k got the business

 

[Vyke]

EC vs WC might as well have been the falcon tournament, lol.

 

[ZIO]

Good stuff with the tourney.

A little disappointed NC didn't shake the building more than it did. But we made our point.

 

[OverLade]

DEHF vs Chu

Big ups to chu though, really clutch.

 

[Turbo Ether]

Nice use of sarcasm, but Melee singles and doubles Grand Finals was not entertaining at all. JIGGLYPUFF DITTOS HYPE!!!

Both games had boring and amazing sets at this tournament.

 

[Keith_Da_Thief]

Tourney was lots of fun, learned alot of new strats, and happy to see pp and lozr **** all ovah peoples.

 

[AvaricePanda]

umm....MY FAVORITE PART OF POUND4 WAS WHEN HUNGRYBOX B-AIRED MANGO AND THEN MANGO B-AIRED HUNGRYBOX OMFG SOOOO HYPE

On a more related note I'm going to take Melee more seriously.

 

[PassWurD]

Lol, this debate is still going on?

 

[Hey_its_YO]

the only reason they werent hype was because they were just rematches of brackets and everyone knew the outcome lol

 

[Shinku]

Yeah M2K was our unused man, Europe wanted him in but he was playing brawl friendlies i think, lol.

Edit: Yes he did, he layed the whoop on him.

he was doing brawl teams n singles, trying to make dat bread

umm....MY FAVORITE PART OF POUND4 WAS WHEN HUNGRYBOX B-AIRED MANGO AND THEN MANGO B-AIRED HUNGRYBOX OMFG SOOOO HYPE

On a more related note I'm going to take Melee more seriously.

yeah i was really hoping i could see mango use a spacie against hbox, instead of a jig ditto

 

[Kuraudo]

Everyone ride the hype train for Diddy and make him 3rd on the tier list.

...

Only this time it's more legit.

 

[prOAPC]

what happened to Brawl+?

and what was the guy saying at the end on the stream? Something about no more brawl tournies? (i speak spanish, i didn't understand that well)

 

[4% APR]

just got home. Great tourney. Good stuff to everyone i played

did me and drephen vs ss and dark get recorded? Best set of the tourney for me.


ps-the europeans were legit, some of the coolest styles I've ever seen.
