What's new

Injustice topped out at 23K or 24K viewers at WB8? Marvel/SF didn't hit 25K

Your friendly neighborhood cynic
Serious question, is there a reason why WB has so much viewers? I wasn't there to watch it, but 24K is alot of fucking viewers.
I was thinking the same thing. Twitch did have Team Sp00ky's stream on the main page, maybe that helped?

For once we're able to say that Injustice can hold its own against the biggest fighting games. I think the wording is just fine. ;)
saying it like that more comes across as "capcom players suck our balls" more than anything. you could have just said that it had similar views as capcom games instead of "hold that you didnt get 25k"

Top-tier at everything but the characters I choose
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

AE definitely did top 25k at one point. Marvel I'm not sure. Injustice capped at like 22.5k

It's Sp00ky of course (who told haters to suck it, Injustice is gdlk in the chat), so everyone was tuned in....and WB8 was promoted by Twitch. Front-paged and all.

The real thing here was that when AE top 32/16 finished, and Injustice finals started there wasn't a dip in viewers. Initially, we lost about 3,000...but we gained those back and another 2,000 on top of that. That is the real accomplishment. Injustice is defnitely holding it's own -- ON THE BIG STAGE FOR SURE.

We're here. Mufuckas are slowly but surely starting to accept it.

HYPE! See you at SCR!

There will always be viewers as long as there is players.

Nobody is goig ti watch a game where there are 10 entrants. It's the communities responsobility to support the game.

It's so great to see online dudes.coming out and making waves.

Keeps the game fresh.

This is the power of sp00ky. He said he's starting to get big numbers at every event lately for main events.

I think more and more people are starting to get interested in tuning in to fighting games, and the numbers are starting to go up. There's still a lot of room for the audience to expand.

My fave was seeing all the the fanbois in the chat say the only reason why the numbers were so high was because they were waiting for Marvel :D

That's always the case and it'll never change because some people simply won't let go of past prejudices or wanna follow the crowd and only like the "good" games which is pretty much SF, Marvel and, at times, Tekken.

you wouldnt have to know a single thing about fighting games to tune in and be entertained if you caught some of those top 8 games. now tell me the same thing is true of marvel where, to a casual observer, the whole round looks like a game of Geometry Wars. Even the announcers were calling Zero's corner loop "Marvel the Movie"

I'lle never understadn the hype behind Dive Kick it just looks goofy, but to each their own. Another I think this game has gotten much attention is that its based on DC characters some of the most iconic and original comic characters that even pre-date much of Marvel's stuff and as a FG it is much more inviting to the casual where as Marvel has ginormis learning curve and takes a paticular trained eye to get good with.
