You realize you’re coming to our event, right? Wiz can do what he wants, sure, but EVO was started as a Capcom fighting game event and will still have Capcom fighters in it until Wiz kills the Cannons or the event shuts down.
I just love how you spin what happened into a positive. “They left to free up seats for SF players!” No, they didn’t. They left because they didn’t care to watch the main games of the event. Meanwhile, they blocked access to fans of other games to watch from up close.
And before you even say that, you’re up there jeering them for not coming early. Which one is it? Or are you an asshole who wants to have it both ways?
Well, I guess it doesn’t matter now. Floor seats are reserved and I made sure to pay for an entire front row. I will let ZERO Smash players sit in those seats or sit in front of them.
Second, I personally watch Marvel and some Street Fighter along with Smash, but you’re implying that we actually come together as a single FGC. Someone said it earlier that there is no FGC but rather multiple ones that, at the end of the day, prefer to do their own thing. Not much else.
Besides, you should be happy when we leave. You’ll actually get to breath the air again.
You think whatever you want, i think it is but thats another argument
You complain because they got there first and have a seat. Why should they get up? They got the seat, they have rights to it. They cant guarantee that a sf or other fg fan is going to get up just so smash players can watch their game. You snooze you lose. They got their before you, suck it up.
You guys already have problems with smash players and you want them to stay longer to watch something they dont care about. Just like a lot of you dont care about smash, no one is forcing you to watch it. There’s 1 main stage with the games for finals basically. Smash goes first, it ends, smash fans leave, sf goes on. I mean, its not their fault smash was on first. If sf went on before smash, the riot would be outrageous
If we’re going to have Smash players, I’d rather they try to be part of the FGC. Yeah, we all have our games and shit but we still come together as one group. It’s much like the United States in that way, I like to think.
The whole “come in, do what we want, leave” attitude is ugly and not really in spirit with what the FGC was about from the start.
I never understood why the Smash community tries so hard to be accepted by the FGC. It’s not like they’re poverty; Smash has plenty of events and a relatively large backing. This whole “please notice me FGC senpai!” thing just makes the Smashers look really needy and annoying. No one’s stopping them from doing their own thing, and it’s not like the Smash community is interested in the other games anyway.
Because nobody can understand your communities need to force yourselves on us.
You guys developed independently and worked really hard for what you have. Your game is hard as shit to play too. I respect all of that. The need to seek validation for yourselves by using our events on top of using our tournament infrastructure for your meed with properly reciprocating is some bull though.
You’re just ignoring a lot of what I’m saying and going on into wild tangents.
Yeah, a lot of us don’t think the game is a true fighting game but if it’s in EVO we aren’t gonna set the stage on fire when it’s on. We have respected Smash being on and stayed to watch. You guys just don’t want to return the favor.
And either way, you’re right. Chairs were open to first come first serve. It’s why I’m happy they changed it this year. It allowed SF players to buy their chance on the floor. Or do like I did and buy an entire row just to make sure seats are open for myself and whomever I want to sit there.
This was what a LOT of people wanted. I should go on Twitter and even find the long as threads about it.
“Smash is on finals day. Fine. Let’s make it the very first two games and then move on to our community’s regular games.”
Then people fucking whined about it.
Who did? You goddamn know who did.
Smashers on these very forums (Hax, can you find these threads since you’re better at search than I am) were foaming at the mouth wanting their game to replace our two mainstays: Marvel and Ultra. The HUBRIS to ask for that at a mainly Capcom event. No other gaming community has ever even tried to displace EVO’s main event games before even when Capcom wasn’t making any new SF games.
The main line I remember reading was “well we have this many entrants and raised the money so we’re owed to at least replace Marvel.” They didn’t even want to hear that EVO is a mainly Capcom fighting game event and wanted to force their game on the stage.
So yeah, go argue with your community instead of coming in here making bullshit posts. We offer solutions and you guys want it your way or to burn the house down.
This shit really needs to be regulated (the fgc and competition, not the forum) so shit like this doesnt happen
I probably should have looked more up on that bit. I mean. I also think EVO needs to look for a bigger venue soon cause the entrant numbers are ridiculous
Can we get an idea of who (as im what kind of players) bitched about smash not being in the final two slots? As in was it players like mango, hungrybox and the like or players like me, who are scrubs.
There’s also going to be slight bias here because this is mostly a capcom fighter forum just like if the same thing came up on smashboards, there is gonna be general bias towards smash (just the opposite)
It mostly comes down to free reign to do whatever with no overlooking head
Why do you think you ever needed to be a part of it? The smash thing developed independently of this. I dont ask the world series of poker why they dont have an mtg side event.
Member names? I haven’t the foggiest. There was a rush of Smashboards members who signed up during the whole charity run who haven’t really posted since. Shit, I even joined the smash boards to see why the hell so many had joined SRK.
And we are doing larger venues. This is the first year EVO is going to be held at a convention center instead of the hotel’s ballroom. The difference in space is astronomical. The finals are going to be held in an arena. An ARENA. There are 12,000 seats there.
It might be a thing of legitimacy and the fact that smash does follow a lot of the same rules as other fighters do
Bo3 or Bo5
Character selection
Stage selection (3d fighters have variable stages to choose from)
Mano e Mano gameplay
Yea obviously they’re different, they dont want to be left out when smash is about as different from SF as tekken is and tekken is a part of the fgc when smash isnt.
Kinda of similar to the fps community with cod and halo
Problem is that tekken isnt a 4 player clustefuck that had its rule edited to make it a thing. That said a couple of things: 1) it was nonsense to have brawl at evo but not follow the community rules for how they play and 2) you dudes terrorized a teenage kid because he beat ken.
But that’s just it, why are you guys so concerned with “legitimacy”? No one’s stopping you from playing your game and having fun. Stop looking for acceptance from other communities, it’s pathetic.
