Street Fighter V EVO finals to be televised at ESPN2
- Thread starter crash-14
- Start date
And the Splatoon 2 Splatfest Demo is Saturday :/
Glad to know that EVO gets to make a return trip back onto ESPN. Let's hope that we get to see another Lone American or two make Top 8 as before. Definitely was the highlight to have Joe walk out last year and somehow make it take a set before getting eliminated.
We are slowly working our way up in the world of Television boys!

All the Nash matches made it even worse
Now that may make me skip the EVO stream.....for Saturday, at least.
Is the Splatfest only conflicting with Melee Top 8?
Makes sense considering the Disney/ESPN connection, yeah.
The world is still not ready for yipes commentary on national tv.

Well, it's a sport, so of course it would be.
This is why I'm thinking that MvCI may be right before SFV next year rather than either of the Smash games.

Saturday 3 - 7 pm PT not sure what is going on that time haven't kept up with the EVO schedule.
AW SHIT first time this has happened.
Sorry Mr Wizard, geeks aren't going to give up GoT for this.
The EVO site isn't exactly specific about the Saturday schedule, at least not on mobile.

Ugh. Default Mika (in green or purple) is her best costume though. Similar story with Cammy too.
all american top 4 breh
It is a possiblity for sure, but the first thing that needs to happen is to make sure Infinite actually gets showcased well enough to warrant the TV spot (let alone a spot on EVO). Of course, chances are that it will get an immediate bye and will be included in without a second thought, but part of me just wants to just have the game in front of us so that we aren't trying to use the speculation time to try and bash the game for the visuals, roster, or whatever else that has been used to downplay the game since at least the gameplay itself has been the only thing promising (or at least to some since others still hate the gameplay being demonstrated).
Yeah... Would have been bad if the Splatfest conflicted with the Sunday Schedule, but the worst it will do is probably get in the way of the Melee (to which I'd imagine it shouldn't affect it too much).
It's the American way!!

They'll probably reveal the new CPT stage at EVO this year.

Wonder if Ed's alt will be too BDSM.
Probably the reveal trailer for Abigail.
Maybe a new character. The alleged SSFV will most likely be at Capcom Cup.

Maybe? He's been getting better at learning when to hit that Mika YOLO switch, but I don't think Bo5's benefit him at all the way he conditions players.

No, GoT started much later this year. Usually the season begins in March/April and is over by Evo.
Marvel
could never
That would be tight.
Gonna re-buy the game soon, I am starting to miss it.
Great! enjoy xD
Hoping it's way more exciting than last year. Last year's SFV finals were boring as hell. Only a few unique characters used and not a lot of variety in tactics.
I say that as someone who's been playing fighting games on and off since SFII, and who has enjoyed watching EVO streams of many different games before.

Fortunately that only conflicts with Smash I think, lucky me
Oh, well shit. They probably can't start sooner thanks to Smash 4 being right before SFV.
Abigail's existence actually got leaked a few days ago on the CFN site. Typing in his abbreviation on the web address took you to an open page that was already titled "ABIGAIL | CHARACTER INFO" or something like that. Capcom has since taken it down.

I hope the sound quality is better this year. It was pretty rough last year and in between then and now I've seen some pretty slick FGC stuff.
Outstanding.
Outstanding.
that was a one time thing for Joe. It was just his year last year.
Damn it... You got me to laugh...
That said, I completely forgot that Mika wasn't in her basic outfit during the grand finals. Thought it was just a preference choice and not because it was banned (which is weird considering you can watch beach volleyball, but I guess there is only so much booty that can be shown off before you somehow make the censors sweat bullets apparently...)

LOL that Mika.
I fell off SFV hard so hopefully EVO will make me interested again. Really wanted to see Tekken broadcast since I feel like its been the more entertaining game recently in and outside of the game.
Looking forward to this though, last year was entertaining so heres hoping people with personality make it into top 8 again... full offense to boring ass Kazunoko victories lol.

I don't think people want a that, they want a less shitty outfit.
Is her every other costume she has that because its better, no they are better outfits.
