The EVOLUTION 2015 MKX MegaHype and Updates Thread!

[Colares]

The seeding part was left to TYM to contribute. There was a thread about that: http://testyourmight.com/threads/evo-2015-ranking-thread.53734/

If the seeding is bad, then it's our fault.

only 16 seeds in a 1000 man bracket

whats even worse than how to stream is run... is the commentary. One guy doesnt know what to say & the other one just talk how bad ppls are. Really sad...

 

[ghostwriteous]

I caved and subscribed to the stream. The watching it in 30 fps just was rubbing me the wrong way.

Tom Brady commentary is godlike. Even though he goes hard on people for mistakes.

Exactly. Nothing wrong with a little constructive criticism.

There is so much Boneshaper mopping going on off stream. It's probably for the best.

90% of streams are 30fps it might be 540p resolution that is bad

Calling someone "just terrible" doesn't seem that constructive (even if they are)

SplitMushroom? He is the Gamefaqs representative.

Yes, #GAMEFAQSPRIDE

Meaning boneshapers are winning or losing?

 

[Laos_boy]

Literally if we can't the high level matches we want. This will be almost as bad as last year. Which was ass.

I felt bone shaper was strong. That hellsparks/amulet combo locks down so much space

Utterly disappointed so far, not with the play, but with the decisions and overall laziness of those running it.

No DLC, skins, or brutalities - really? That's not MKX. They're playing an incomplete version.

The brackets were completely random. That's just laziness. So, we had S Chris G playing an S player, S+ Pig playing an S Ducky, S++ DJT playing S Coach Steve, right after two B level scrubs traded missed combos for three games. Plus, button checks on screen while other matches go on. Seriously, who was in charge of setting things up? Is MKX not a priority at EVO. It seems like it is getting 2nd class citizen treatment.

What about the players that play DLC characters? What about the fans watching getting an incomplete experience? Seriously, I'm angry and I'm not even there. It seems to me that this is an epic miscue.

I'm so glad a tiny tournament like tcw had all of this covered

How much better it is?

Good point, kind of funny that people defend fucking EVO for doing a shitty job but other tournaments manage to pull it off.

I watched like 8 hours of SF4 in the source quality. It was kind of hard watching MKX in 30 fps after that.

 

[ghostwriteous]

The quality is better, but not mind blowing. Definitely more fps though.

You mean they are being eliminated or they are winning?

 

[WidowPuppy]

I'm watching from my xbone console, and the quality is great. Probably the same on PS4.

 

[DevilMaySpy]

Winning. There are too many Cassies on stream too

 

[ghostwriteous]

Yooo, DJT vs Dizzy in the next winners bracket.

 

[ExpiredCodes]

I'm still pissed I didn't get to watch Mr.Mileena.

 

[Pygmy_Potato]

What happened with the seeding where the two players (Dizzy/DJT) who have won the biggest majors are facing in winner's... quarterfinals?

like i said last page...evo is too goddamn big anymore to stream anywhere near the majority of matches with all the big names, in almost ANY game. shit's happening constantly and you always need a match on stream. i've seen stream runners at work and you have to be INSTANT in feeding them a hype match, otherwise they have to go with whoever's right there by the station. keeping the action moving is #1 priority.

i swear every major, people on here think ~the illuminati~ has it in for NRS because scrub matches get streamed over good ones. NEWSFLASH: this happens in every game, even capcom. it's called being human and under time pressure. try talking to SF4 heads about all the nutty upsets that happened offstream yesterday...
