Post-EVO Thoughts

TLDR of my take: it was fricking garbage, SF6 top 6 somehow redeemed it

Darn, what a ride.

I'm gonna fricking obliterate anyone that I see shilling for UMVC3. What a way to start the day, with a fricking terrible kusoge that looks horrid and must be even worse to play. Seriously, frick Sajam and Max for shilling that heap of dung. It makes me worried for Project L, because they said they like and they're very vocal about how much they love UMVC3.

Also lmao at a Granblue announcement after UMVC. Good announcement though, they released the date and made a good decision in having the game have some sort of free trial. Now if only that BIPOC FKHR could get his head out of his butt and revert the motion changes. Real talk, if they removed block button, brought back Universal Overhead, removed cooldowns and added more specials/normals and... pretty much rolled back all changes they made, Granblue would be unironically the best current fighting game and one of the best fighting games of all time. I'll die on this hill. but i'll leave this for another thread

Then we had Tekken. Tekken was mostly fine honestly, I'm just kinda tired of T7 already. Mad respect to Arslan though. He's a based paki king

And it turns out the 4chan leak was true, so we already know a bit about the new characters that are coming. Harada must be furious. Harada probably wants Total Leaker Death

Grand finals were a bit shit with the mirror match up and all, but the earlier games were cool.

Strive... darn. Johnny wasn't a surprise, hope people like him in Strive. But I seriously don't get what's the point of hiding the next characters? Why not reveal them all at once? Fricking straggy shit

Don't know what to think about the new strive mechanics, will have to play to form an opinion on it.

That mk1 trailer was sick. Reptile literally looks the best he's ever looked, it's fricking perfect.

But they took two more females and made them ugly... why? sigh

Strive top 6... what a disgrace. I hate HC, I hate leffen. I hate Nago (though NBNHMR is sick). At least Umisho didn't make it to GFs. If the GFs was Umisho vs Leffen I ...

Now, on sf6...

What a top 6 my man.

I'm not the biggest SF fan and I absolutely despise SF fans, they're usually unbearable.

But I'll have to give them this. SF6 top 6 carried and redeemed EVO.

All matches were insane, most of them going 2-2 and 1-1 setpoint.

I really don't have anything to say about it. It was just some incredible games.

Now, on other stuff...

AKI looks bad. Real bad. Of course Capdrones will eat it up like they ate Marisa and Manon, but AKI is some NRS ''women MUST be ugly'' shit. Also no gameplay on her trailer... literally just some sfm of her teasing some poor neighbor

Now, EVO itself.

EVO was fricking garbage. At least compared to my expectations.

They changed from top 8 to top 6 and... for what? I stole this from kappachino, but Melty blood finished 50 minutes early. If only they could have had two matches in there somwhere...

Top 6 instead of 8 sucks. There was so much downtime in T7 top 6, it killed me slowly.

Also a shit ton of ads. Announcements were garbage.

They had SO MANY PEOPLE in there... they should have gone ram and made an EVO to remember. Instead they just the frick out of it

That's all I can remember for now.
