I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
XRD got less entrants because people are scared of Machaboo, who is going to win without losing a single round to anybody and after grand finals he will float above the arena and absorb everyones souls in order to become the greatest fighting game player who ever lived.

is street fighter the only modern fighting game that people seem to think is getting worse with each release? Tekken people who post here seem excited about Tekken 7, all the anime games I follow seem to get better with each release barring the occasional bad one or at least stay solid, etc.

Maybe the only unanimous one. Other series have their holdouts who dont like new games

I'm fine with Smash but I don't like that they have to include both Melee and 4.

If EVO wants more money they should do a full-on "EVO Classic" with all the old poo poo and stick Melee in there.

it's funny too because it's not like he's gotten noticeably better, he's always been really god damned loving good, but now he's switched to Sin.

I hear that Omito has been able to beat him, but I'd still peg Machaboo as the favorite to win this year.

Bad move, because then they're all in one place and all he's gotta do is eat you to get at every McRib in Vegas.


Also I like Smash and I still say force those fuckers to play shorter timed matches irregardless because fuuuuuuck that poo poo drags after awhile.

Not to dogpile on Melee further, but has anyone else here been following Jebailey's Twitter? Apparently a 'top' Melee threatened him with the community dropping the event over dropping Melee doubles.

Not just them, but several complaints from all sorts of players like Armada/Hungrybox/Zero cause Jebaily also brought up the stupid things like floating Top players out of pools or asking for special VIP areas.

Though apparently the Smash 4 players were more kind in talking to Jebailey, just Melee players who are crying about it.

If you mean 3/5, that's okay I guess, but it's stupid to expect doubles to be run at every tournament. No SF5 player is asking for SFXT to be at every similar event or they won't show (I hope?).

well no one wants to play sfxt but even when it was played no one made any ultimatums about not having ONLY 2v2 as it was played at the end because again no one cares about the game only the cash money for winning in it

I think the Melee scene takes way too much poo poo from everyone else, and I also think they should be appreciated if only because they're keeping a 15-year-old game alive AND competing with the New Hot Stuff for number of players at events. However, motherfuckers are myopic as hell. Smash sets run stupid long already, running 3/5 all the way is impossible without a hell of a lot more structure, and adding another tournament format to an event already running 8, 9 games is insanity. If they can't make concessions, gently caress 'em, they already host their own Melee-centric stuff. Just don't complain when you're isolated from the FGC - it's not like this is a "items on because gently caress you" issue.

I remember people complaining but quickly dropping it as they realized "oh, I won't have to take this poo poo seriously from now on, great".

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't Nintendo have a lot to do with Project M being dead? Like, they (directly or indirectly) kept people from playing or streaming it alongside the real games at events and that's one of the major factors it got dropped by the modders and everyone else?

Project M isn't dead, those guys are making their own game which is honestly very cool. Even if it's not my cup of tea working that hard on a project for so long, having it shuttered and then deciding to make your own thing is super respectable

There were apparently rumblings of a major lawsuit that was going to get filed against them, which is why you can't even download the latest version of the mod from the site anymore
