now if only the same 2 people weren’t winning every year
mbaa we got sidebets (go see nec stream)
we got hype (again nec)
while sf4 was dead quiet we were hype with a megaphone getting cake
MBAA FOR EVO, SHOW YOU HOW THAT ANIME DOES IT.
BB CT had more attendance than Marvel at SB4.
Came for the money match? Daigo was a bigger draw.
SF4 was the main event, not Marvel.
Results are not changing. Same good players. Best are still the best even though they don’t even play it anymore and instead play SF4, where they can make more money.
If Marvel isn’t a featured game, doesn’t mean there can’t be hype money matches.
Evo aint doing Dreamcast anymore, so if Marvel were to be played as a featured game, it would have to be on PS3. Still a touchy subject with Marvel players.
All I would like to say about having an “all female tourney” is that it will frankly just be another excuse for me to get completely freaking wasted and make a mockery of the whole thing. Having an all female tourney to showcase and bait out any females that are “too shy” to play street fighter with anyone on a competitive level is a completely moronic idea.
So if a small majority of EVO attendees are physically (excuse me for saying this) retarded, are we gonna have a showcase for them too? I mean because they might not be confident enough to play with the other kids, so its totally awesome right?
I’d rather have a game like HNK or some random ass Vampire Savior be the event. :yawn:
Yeah I gotta say I’m with Watts and UD on the ladies tourney. When Wiz first dropped it, I thought “Wow… that’s an interesting idea. Maybe I can get my g/f to fly out to Vegas with me and participate!” Then I thought about it for about 10 seconds and realized what a disaster this is gonna be. Even understanding that it’s not an official event and not taking the place of 3S/Marvel/whatever else, I can’t see any good coming from it.
I get that you’re trying to broaden the horizons of the community and bring in new players, but this isn’t the way to do it. What do you think is going to happen when a group of hundreds, if not thousands, of drunk/high/hyped dudes (many of whom have never been laid/rarely get laid) are spectating a small group of ladies playing at a comparatively lower level? All I’m saying is that some horrific shit is going to be said, this will never happen again, and it will be a black eye on this community. I will bet any amount of money on that.
I’m all for trying to widen the player base and females are generally an untapped market, but this idea is mildly sexist and more importantly, a PR nightmare waiting to happen.
The worst part about this whole girl tournament, as I said on irc, is that if, say, chocoblanka came over, she’d almost guaranteed walk away with the $37 in prize money and pay for 1/25th of her plane ticket.
I mean, why not just have a “scrubs only” tournament if we’re doing that?
That still gives off the wrong message. Less insulting but still insulting.
fly over 32 of japans best cvs2 players and hold a tourney for the best versus game ever ie CVS2
it would totally own
mr wizard doesn’t care about black peop…er, marvel players >:O
For my state, Marvel is dead. The last time we held it, only one guy entered thus prompting me to close it. It’s dead here.
Melty on the other hand is making big strides and is also picking up big in the midwest. There’s at least 14 tournaments featuring Melty Blood alone; seven for just February.
Final Round has it, and so does Extravaganza 14, a traditionally Tekken-oriented tournament.
Capcom vs SNK 2:smokin:
At least as a consolation prize, she’d have creepy fucks asking her for pictures the entire time she is there. win/win/win
now if your game actually made it to evo and lasted 6+ years lol
Feel were you coming from but no game aint doing what marvel is doing. Sowwy. It just aint. And I think that side tournament idea was good. Have all the retro games as side tournaments and have the finals or grand finals on big screen. That would work…
Somebody aint doing something right over there. Texas, Cali, New York, Etc have huge scenes that still play the game like a Full-time job. Sad to hear that your state is not 1 with a mvc2 community. All good though cause mvc2.tv will be released in about 3 weeks and we shall see how much of a dead game marvel is…
I usually never quote entire long posts, but I agree 100%; there are simply too many GREAT posts for me to quote ( regarding the Female-Tournament).
I am HIGHLY offended and somewhat discouraged by this idea…One part of me still believes that it is a joke-- perhaps because I WISH it was a joke. No offense to anyone, but there are far too many attention whores who pose as gamers already (when playing competitive fighting games, why not be a GAMER first, and a female second? There is no need to announce you are a female gamer), and this tournament is another excuse to give them the “fame” and attention that they pathetically long for. As everyone else had stated, females should feel free to compete with everyone else, improve, etc; and having such an event would only bore, disappoint and anger the vast majority of the gamers, who travel to & compete at EVO to be truly ENTERTAINED-- to see the best of the best.
This is not really about me, but I have been trying to find time to learn SF4 since I moved to AZ, but things such as this awful idea of a tournament almost discourages me from learning the game (are you not trying to attract more players?)-- I am probably not the only one who feels this way. There are already quite a few attention whores who make the game “taste bad” in the first place, therefore the few females who WILL compete in this tournament will hurt the reputation of female SF4 players even more, IMO…However, I am not saying that most female SF4 “players” are attention whores, but it is UNDENIABLE that they DO exist (in every community/scene, of course), and they should be pointed out/seperated from the serious ones.
I, along with others have supported EVO for so many years, yet the staff ended up slapping women in the face and insulting us like this…I am certain that others feel a bit betrayed, as well. I am just saying that females have been very loyal & supportive of EVO for years, so ladies should be treated equally in every possible way-- not exploited like animals or disabled people trying to compete (manner of speaking).
I understand that the EVO staff supposedly had “good” intentions when they came up with this idea, but if it is not too late, I truly believe they should consider replacing this with a more worthy special event. There is a reason why 80-95% of people so far seem to be against this idea-- this is a bad idea.
Not trying to be rude or whiney; I am simply stating my opinion. Also, no Marvel and/or GG FTL…:sad:
Peace.
While I wasn’t fully confidant SC4 would be back, I’m a little offended by what bumped it out. TvC and BB AND a fuckin female only tourny…
W T F
There’s no way in hell SC4 should be bumped off by all 3 of those. Kinda sucks that another SF game will probably take the final spot. Disappointing considering how great SC4 was last year.
On the note of the female only tournament, it would be fine if it was a side event. Making it a huge event expresses females are lesser players, needing their own league to compete. While sure it can promote attention whores and what not, it would be perfectly fine if it were just a harmless side event. Simply because it pokes fun at the male/female ratio and is kind of a thing we can all enjoy if taking it lightly…knocking out games that deserve a spot and promoting as a big event makes it more than that and is just insulting to the females and the gamers of both gender.
DO NOT take a gag event and make it a main event at a high level pro tournament. If we desperately need to drool over females and spotlight them, we’re in vegas…and our girls all play stick.
Maybe, but there just isn’t an audience for it here. Not much can be said, unless you’d like to come to our humble state and enlighten us. Me, I’m just stating a fact for my state alone. Marvel really is dead, sadly.
I’m no tourney player, but I follow the US scene, so PUT THAT MELTY!
I’d advise voting against MvC2, purely because it would be on PS3 and none of the top players want to play that version.
I’m voting Melty. Its a hype game and they deserve it.
I agree with UltraDavid et al. on the women-only tourney. Let’s keep the Evolution Championship Series a meritocracy.
Marvel
You aren’t going to place in either game. So get the fuck over it already dude. They’re 99% the same.
