This^all i can say is this

Nobody watched that stream and thought "how dedicated we must be to watch." Lets just do nothing but garbage streams and show them that we are even MORE dedicated! People already posted examples of the opposite happening, gamers tuning in, and then thinking lesser of the smash community after watching. We wasted an opportunity. People who tuned in to this and saw us acting like this was acceptable quality will probably never tune into a smash stream again, unless they want a headache and a stream that can chop their tomatoes.If people are so bothered by the stream, they are free to tune in to a "more promoted one." Look at the facts here. This wasn't on the front page of Twitch. This was mainly promoted on SWF and through social media of Smash users. This was directed more to Smash users than anything else. And if people would take a moment to see what we were dealing with, I think they would be content with the output (quality). And in the end, it was VERY watchable.
What isn't excusable, is when people have good resources like proper internet and such and just make awful technology decisions and poor stream management so it looks subpar that way, but that's for another day.
And for whoever wants to say that this is bad for the Melee community, you need to look at the facts. This stream despite it's shortcomings peaked at 756 viewers and had an average in the 400s. That's insane. As the matches got more hype, more people came in. At one point it was the 6th most watched channel currently on Twitch, and when it wasn't it generally floated around the 10th. If people see that so many people care about the game with a subpar quality stream, they get to see the dedication we have. And even if you want to shake a stick at the video, the audio was fine, and the commentary was legit.
Imagine what it will be like when we take all the followers I got an exposure to a more proper stream like I did for Sudden Death 4. Imagine what's going to happen for Apex. It's the start of something big and I think this goes a long way in showing our dedication to the game, which is something you can't put a price on, even $8.95.
x funking poseditt: People who never travel to tournaments get salty that stream quality wasn't good at a venue without internet.
I'm sorry but in a grassroots tournament without any company sponsorship or community donations people do the best they can to give a stream and video coverage of our major events.
Melee isn't a tournament scene that is going to pull people in with big streams anymore as much as i or anyone else would hate to admit it.. It pulls in players thanks to it's amazing community and all together great gameplay.
People like the 2011 strife who we all know so much about that get mad and speak for the entire community about stream quality is hilarious.
You've been here for so long dude you must know how to change smash.
Peef you're clearly arguing for the sake of arguing. The streamers did their best with an adverse environment and all of the disrespectful smashers who couldn't have bothered to come out to the venue or show our community as being something to be a part of rather then just a bunch of self entitled pricks when watching a stream of their peers with technical difficulties is more detrimental then poor stream quality in promoting our scene.
C'mon dude, not once did I actually complain about the quality of the stream. I was fine with it. I could make out what was happening and that was good enough.People like the 2011 Strife who we all KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT that get mad and speak for the entire community about stream quality is hilarious.

From TwitchPS: Where did you get those numbers Chibo?
You are incredibly obnoxious, i think more people hate you than me and you didn't even have to "steal" any moneyC'mon dude, not once did I actually complain about the quality of the stream. I was fine with it. I could make out what was happening and that was good enough.
You know I've been nothing but cool to you and you insist on being disrespectful to me so I've had enough of you. Alex Strife....you need to shut up now. You had better stop disrespecting me like this otherwise you and I are going to have a problem.Strife...please shut up.
Hmmm......I can't tell if you're being serious or not. If I wanted to come to rom4, people would not be hitting up Alukard saying they don't want me to go. That kind of resentment is reserved for you and you only. And honestly it's not realistic for smashers to despite anyone as much as you when they haven't stolen thousands of dollars from the community.You are incredibly obnoxious, i think more people hate you than me and you didn't even have to "steal" any money

this times infinityGreat tourney, and while the stream quality was frustrating, you can always just wait for the vids if you don't like watching poor-quality streams.
No, I must crush everyone before I ride on top of a unicorn on top of a rainbow.That's a big problem with us humans, always wanting more. Can't you just be content with what you have sometimes, you know?
