purple_beard Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/07/arms_to_feature_in_inaugural_evo_japan_tournament Cool for ARMS. Will fanboys cry about no Melee? Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 As someone who knows basically nothing about fighting game tournaments and whatnot, is the infatuation with Melee purely a western thing? Quote Link to comment

TKrazyO Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Both games had a pretty good reaction. Just watch up to the 1 minute mark. The video starts 25 seconds in with the game announcements for next year's EVO. Quote Link to comment

It's 16 years old. It's always the same people at the top. It will always be those same people at the top. This will not change. Fanbase is really REALLY obnoxious and whiny. Quote Link to comment

This will not change. Fanbase is really REALLY obnoxious and whiny. I see. Yeah, I don't watch tournaments often, so when I do I still find Melee interesting. But even as infrequently as I watch even I recognize that there's only like the same 3 people who are ever in the tournaments that have a chance to win. What game would you have preferred taken Melee's spot at EVO? Quote Link to comment
Mocha Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The game is running on borrowed time either until they intentionally break all of the gamecube controllers and/or until they can't lug around a bunch of CRTs anymore. The cult of personality around Smash pros is also really fucking obnoxious. Running both Smash4 and Melee was always kinda dumb imo, but I don't like Smash so lol. Give Melee's slot to a real fighting game. You know who deserves it? ace and inx 2 Quote Link to comment
Kezay Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Looking forward to seeing how high level play in ARMS works out so I can watch in awe. Quote Link to comment
ace Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Skullgirls is amazing and deserves so much better than it got. It's my favorite fighting game for sure. Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I would be in favor of replacing Melee with Skullgirls. Quote Link to comment
