MLG Anaheim's Hype Tournament Moments - Discussion Thread

Everyone, calm down please.

What's happening at MLG is ridiculous, but I will not tolerate this thread devolving into flame wars. Take a deep breath and approach this thread again with a clearer mindset.

Another match is going on right now, so let's all enjoy it while it lasts.
We're just trying to do somepass the time between matches
 

chores

bad at things
Real quick cause I'm on someone else's phone. For hours no one was allowed to watch matches or even hear the matches being called. We're getting corralled like cattle. Except fucking Floe and Chris G. You're god damn right myself and others called out this horseshit. We're all standing around without answers and floe or anyone else blowing it up can gtfoh.
lbsh this is how floe vs 16bit would go:

The amount of infighting, whining, and finger-pointing this community has been tossing around lately makes the Capcom guys look like the Smash community. The egos on some 'top' players in this niche community (sorry, it's true), is absurd.
Come on now, are we going to pretend like Chris G and Ricky Ortiz have no ego? They've done so much collusion and asked to float brackets so often the capcom community lost count lol.

I don't remember 16-Bit getting to top 8 then playing Shazam all of a sudden because he suddenly doesn't care about playing his best. Or 16-bit arriving 2 hours late at a tourney then expecting to be treated like a diva. 16-Bit always gives everything he has when he plays and cares about bringing hype to the people watching.

I'm just saying it's not like NRS top players have a worse ego than Capcom top players.

Also jamessmk is obviously drunk and just hyping himself up for his next show. :)

Honestly, Every MLG has had hella hella hella commercials, this isn't new, them starting super late and treating the players fucked up, is the real problem here.
I know they did. But I remember watching mk9 and they would show like 3 Matches and then commercial. This time around it's getting ridiculous

I could go for some Pizza Hut right now
Yeah, pizza sounds good right about now. Not sure about Pizza Hut, though. The one around the corner doesn't skimp on ingredients, but they make the crust too greasy. Maybe Papa John's or even a Domino's would be better.

As for Injustice, I've liked all the matches so far. Does anyone know the legit reason for why they have been taking so long to start?

True, I used to like the comercials cause you could have a piss, go outside for a smoke, grab another beer and then matches would be up again, watch a 3 then repeat lol.

Arturo obviously had Much more influence on those other events then we ever new it seems.

Too bad, hopefully this isn't the end for MLG NRS fighting games, cause that would be a shame.

i guess everybody is trying to be positive man, but then a comercial is on...
I've lost count of how many commercials have been run, LOL.

We also have to remember that there were Internet issues, something that I don't think MLG could control, though I could be wrong.

The handling of this event definitely needs to be re-examined, and no part of me will ever argue that. But it's not like tearing ourselves apart with more arguing will heal the wound.

So ad block plus has been great this weekend. No commercials. Just music. It was a very chill weekend for me. Also random injustice matches. I was surprised. So for those of you who got commercials get RECKT. #MUSIC STREAM.
I don't know. Some of these commercials sound interesting.

Something that is definitely lacking.

Really.. Not at all. I never blew up a event on my own. Even UFGT last year was done because you guys "the scene" were unhappy, and then threw me under the bus when stuff got real. You guys really need to cut down on gaming. it has certainly effected muscle memory. As far as this event you were told MLG is the promise land again and fell for it hook line and sinker. Ego's are Ego's you guys play games, that wont gain money, prestige, or power... only a job and taking care of yourself accomplishes that. You guys need to stop comparing Capcom vs NRS ego's they are the same. Don't tell another player their opinion means nothing based on how they place in an event. When people get frustrated enough and stop traveling we will have 10 man major and nobody to blame but us. As far as "The On Blast Show" damn straight this will all be brought up, as well as the positive in scene like ECT_McFly
