I watched some of it. It's not too entertaining. The players are really good but the event needs to improve somehow. Unless you follow the fighting game community closely, you won't know anything about the players. They should do more to promote the top players. Also they show too many matches and games. I usually only watch the last day of Street Fighter IV. The others don't interest me too much.

And it's always a disappointment when Daigo doesn't win. He's such a likeable guy you can't help but root for him.

I haven't enjoyed in Evo since I attended in 05 to be honest. I haven't enjoyed the new breed of fighters that have come since SF4's release, but after helping out with Final Round for the last few years it's very impressive to see how far along they've come since Battle by the Bay.

KoFXIII top 8 was amazing. The crowd was insane. Mexico Horse Head slayed me XD

The reason MK9 had so few entrants is because most of the MK9 good players are from the east coast and they played their major tourney in columbus the community for mk9 is actually very large.

It's still a snoozefest to watch. Just not entertaining at all.

You can thank our good friends at netherrealm for that one :P If you don't patch the game people are gonna take advantage of overpowered characters .. Kung lao , Kabal etc.

Until Netherrealm proves they want to make a real, decent fighting game, I won't be buying another MK and I think a big part of the FGC feels the same way. Regardless of the crap Capcom takes for some of their business tactics, they at least fix the game when they release new versions.

AE had 8 different characters in Top 8 and didn't feature 2 of the consensus top 5 characters in the game. There's really only a handful of characters that you can say are truly bad in AE,

I don't think mk was bad by any stretch of the imagination but you hit the nail on the head .. they have to care more about the tournament scene .. this isn't ps2 anymore .. people give a poo now.

oh god more fgc watchers on here than I thought.

KoF was really, really hype. Marvel was too even though I'm still mad FChamp won. SCV was actually pretty entertaining to watch too.

And AE was really good too even though Gamerbee losing broke my heart.

On the Subject of MK9/Netherealms. They don't get it. Tourney/Competitive Players viewpoints. Injustice actually looks solid but the stage hazards look really dumb (although they can be turned off.) It's a shame too. It took a f'ing billion patches for them to finally get things right in MK9. Maybe one day.

That said I really want to try Injustice and might rent it.

also really cool to see fighting bros on the huddle C:

      Panthers Preseason

      Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
