Calling it now, he's gonna win EVO

Calling it now, he's gonna win EVO.

I bet he has a sextape

WASHED

UP

ain't even gonna get close to top 16 like any Europeans. It's not me that knows, its the greater power.

The brackets are stacked. He's gonna lose to Tokido again.

He's in the hardest bracket, top 16 for sure but top 8 isn't looking too good. I wish he'd switch to Ken.

What happened to him anyway? Too busy being a celeb and not enough practice?

More people going to tournaments than ever = More good people at tournaments = Greater chance of not making it to the end

He's been top 16 in every tournament he's attended so far

daigo
more like DROWNo because he is dead in pools

How is xiaohai and infiltration doing?

Infiltration is literally the best in the world, with only tokido aproaching him
Xiaohai, just like in sf4, has days were he is unstopable, and days when he is ok, so he might win EVO or loose in top 32

Whatever marn. Clearly the only thing to do is to learn from melee and let fan favourites skip pools.

What makes you think he'd do better with Ken? Ryu is a better character overall.

>Daigo wins EVO
>Mango wins EVO
>Snake Eyez plays Gief
>Pokken is a trainwreck shitshow of a tournament and is never brought back
>Sm4sh fails even harder than last year
>an Aganos player wins KI

Could it be the greatest EVO yet?

Yeah, no. This isn't Daigo's game. It's gonna be either Infiltration or Tokido. Most likely Tokido.

If all those things happened it would be, but I kind of doubt it

FGC illuminati rigs fights.

He hasn't won Evo in a long time. Like a really long time.

I just hope that Melee community proves once again they are toxic by ruining a grand final or shitting in the pool once again so TOs decide to drop support for them in favor of another game.

>Daigo will win Evo
>he hasn't gotten first since 2010

>Mr. Jewizard ever dropping the second highest viewed event at his tourney

So, is anyone here going to be there tomorrow?

>smash 4 fails even harder.
I hope so, the game just keeps getting worse and it's so RNG based it's sad

Nah dawg. Take a shot for me though. I'll be there in spirit.

I'm a Daigo dickrider and I'm not sure he has it anymore, he can make top 8 for sure but with his age I don't think he has the edge that can give him that win. It's not impossible but there are much more favorable players.

Daigo doesn't have anything to prove. He's also getting up there in years.

He just plays the way he wants to play.

Sorry OP, but Daigo is that guy that gets beat by some young up-and-coming nobody at EVO now.

Infiltration, Tokido or Sako will win.

life is not an anime (unless you ask meleekids)

he will never be the man again

...

Tokido will win.

He won CEO. He's on fire. The momentum is with him.

But the main reason is Ryu. Ryu is a strong character, and parrying is very OP.

They should bring back Third Strike. And balance it.

>Only perfectly balanced games are good!

Fuck off

...

>I like seeing the same 3 characters in top 8!
This is you.

>Two characters that shit on absolutely everyone is good design!
Go back to Marvel.

I know this would never happen but if Xian could win I'd be so happy. A fang winning evo would put shitposting into overdrive

>I want Chun, and Yun to dominate forever!

Kek what was even going on here?

...

nah, say it with me
THIS IS LOW

I remember the evo that xian won. I had never seen him before and I christened him the stress monster because he looked like he was about to have a panic attack every time the camera was on him. I took a liking to mr stress monster and I followed him from pools to the finals. I was very happy for him.

He won a tournament in China, thought he won a PS4 turns out they just wanted a picture of him holding a PS4. Classic China.

I wish some literal who that's never even played a local tournament would win.

Just buff everyone to keep it fun. And nerf genei jin, that shit is retarded

>His age
Sako is older and he's still strong.

Age means piss all for fighting games

JUST

TIER

>with his age
He's like 34, dude. Most tops players are in their 30s.

All of the top players are around his age. Tokido just turned 31

When is Zangief getting buffed?

Th-they're not just gonna leave him are they Sup Forums?

I hope Haitani wins because his necalli is on some next lvl shit. dont even know how he plays like that with 8f

That's hilarious

Just gotta live in the future, pal.

What the fuck does age have to do with it? It's not dance dance revolution. He doesn't have to hop around and twirl like a retard.

You think being fucking 34 affects your reaction speed?

what grand final did they ruin

That's not even true in Marvel. KBR shat on the top tiers because of a bullshit strat last year. Someone got in the top 8 with fucking MODOK.

i have the same feelings for Tokido Ryu

>watching tournaments that are rigged in favor of americans
why?

>
GAWD

BIG

All I will say about this matter is, fighting games that are ACTUALLY balanced and not "balanced", are boring. Balance is not the key, things like counterpicking makes for a much more fun experience.

EVO is rigged and DSP called it

cant believe I just wrote that down

dont worry, an american still wont win evo.

Balrog is just a better Necalli.

>ACTUALLY balanced and not "balanced"

Literally what?

When did DSP say that?

It just makes it funnier when there's one burger in top 8. 0 eurodogs in top 6000.

EVOs won by Europe: 1
EVOs won by America: 0

I think old man Alex Valle vs bonchan was my favorite match of evo last year.

americucks everyone, if they cant win they cheat
>mfw even an european won fucking evo

>things like counterpicking makes for a much more fun experience.
For the person countering, maybe. I'm glad you aren't a developer.

It's a CPT event and J.Wong is #1 in the CPT

So he gets the best seed.

I don't see a problem with this.

I don't really care since fighting games are for babies but here you go

ACTUALLY balanced means just that, every character has an exact equal chance of winning. There's no tiers, no counterpicking, no matchups.

"Balanced" means that there's at least measures put in place to prevent bullshit 10-0 matchups. CAN Q beat Ken when both players are the best out there? Yes. WILL he? Ehh probably not.

*EVO's won by America: 3

Does EVO start Friday or Saturday?

Boss isn't here this Friday, might work from home to watch the boring ass group stages where nu males get trashed by trannies

>CAN Q beat Ken when both players are the best out there? Yes. WILL he? Ehh probably not.
How is this a good thing?

I'm not American, I don't care. I'm just shit flinging. Gonna go ahead and call L-dawg a fluke though.

How can he win if he doesn't even play Melee

I'm more excited for Revelator
>More then a thousand entrants
>All these Jap lords

Hopefully FAB doesn't drop the ball again. SFV is a boring ass game anyways. Top 8 is almost always the same 5 characters nowadays Ryu Ken Chun Li Nash Necalli with sprinkles of Karin and a rare entry of others nowadays.

I think SFV is a decent game but fuck am i excited to see it polished at the end of the year. It needs work in alot of areas to be great and its a shame a faggy esports level tour is dragging the game itself down from being better.

Nah. Having 7-3 be the worst matchup in the game is better than having 9-1s and shit.

>grand finals jwong vs diago

a man can dream

There's so much wrong with this I don't even want to start naming it

...

you talk like xrd is any better in top 8, probably may get the rare johhny but I expect the same characters. People are there to win after all.

>jwong
>grand finals

Because while there is a considerable gap in terms of mechanics, it is still something that's capable of being overcome with skill or proper mastery of the character.

You want actual unbalanced on a level even 3rd Strike never dreamed of? Fucking Akuma in 2. He is banned from literally everything tournament-wise because you simply can't beat a player that uses him. He crushes the meta so hard that if he was allowed, everyone would play him no matter what.

The people who want 3rd Strike to change are the people that never played it competitively when it was THE game to play.

How are seeded pools bad? It prevents retards such as DSP from getting a weak pool and getting out. Why does he act like playing specific people is a automatic loss? If you entered and expected to win you should expect to face them eventually.

Seeded spots just allow for less shit matches outside of pools. Besides SFV has so many entrants this time around we will surely see some no names get out of pools them lose a few rounds later easily and wonder how they got out.

>To say i suck at ST
Well you obvious aren't a pro if those were automatic losses you fat fuck.

Is that Daigo's book? That's deep as shit.

no way jose

tokido will win

deepest lore.

I don't need TS to change. TS is fine and ended up good despite the balance issues, but to say games shouldn't bother balancing is just dumb. Do the best you can to make every character good, and then tune as needed once a year or so.

Guilty Gear at CEO I believe.

...

>SF is the only thing at Evo

Man i love this meme. Just as bad as the GG is dead meme. SFaggots really are ruining the genre. Whenever someone tries to get into fighters you point them to SF like its the only option whether they like it or not. The Western FGC is a cancer sore in many ways. From the drama aspect to the biased towards Capcom games aspect.

Japan plays everything and excels at everything well America plays for the money and sucks pro cock.

>A fat spic and a chinese are now considered americans
>Memelee being revelant to the conversation at all

So who are the best players of their respective games at Evo? I'm only aware of two being Street Fighter with Infiltration and Guilty Gear for Machaboo.

>yfw SF5 will be entirely casted by UltraChen because it needs to be PG for ESPN
