You now have to pay $12 for source view. What the fuck Evo

Wizard getting greedy for those mcribs

Smash 4 is more fun to watch than I thought. It's fairly fast-paced, the players aren't being overly defensive, and it's a nice change of pace from melee. I only just turned it on, but there's lots of character variety being used

I'm glad custom moves are legal, it's more interesting sometimes

(Captain Falcon just falcon knee'd somebody out of a throw and it's still a beautiful move)

yeah, smash 4 is actually doing well competitively, and its still fairly young. my only complaint is that there should be less landing lag for some characters (aHEMmarthcoughcough)

holy shit, thats still possible? time to learn this

[StarSock64]

I don't know if it's normally possible to do it out of a throw because I think there was moving platform antics that let him land the knee (and because I don't know anything about playing competitively)

I stopped watching, but there were so many different characters being used. It was kind of exciting

Smash starts to really bore me when the typical picks start coming out too often. I love Smash 4 up until it starts turning into nothing but Sheik, Sonic, and Rosalinas. That's when I start to tune out. Luckily this tourney has little to no Rosalinas. For Melee, it starts boring me once it turns into nothing but Fox, Falco, and Sheik, which happens quite often.

I've been cycling between Smash 4, Melee, Street Fighter, and Guilty Gear all day today. Gonna be watching the Blazblue side tourney tomorrow.

I'm watching evo right now and yeah this is actually fun

I think it's the announcers though (EE especially) that're really making this worth watching, lol

EDIT: and as soon as I say that, MaxKetchum and Sky end up being really lame announcers

[Keychain]

Sky is great tho. Max is eh.

EE is the best though

YO, ABADANGO VS. DABUZ IS HYPE MATCH.

also damn, ally impressed me with his marth. he did fairly well against a shiek.

[[robo9]]

Dabuz and Static Manny make me hate Smash 4. Their camp game is just so fucking boring to watch, especially compared to someone like Abadango's

[recme]

yeah, dabuz got a lot of hate from the crowd. he didnt really care though.

its a good thing abadango took him out 2-0, especially in the stylish way he did it in.

[Iceman404]

I didn't watch, how hard did ZeRo steamroll? I know he was going to win as per usual, but he said he'd pick up Melee if he dominated EVO too.

[recme]

get this: zero dominated mr. r as diddy kong. yes, even after the severe nerfs diddy got. i knew zero was gonna win, i just never thought he'd go diddy in grand finals.
