Our next event is this coming Thurs - Sat at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. Between 6 - 10k people will be in attendance! Update! 12:27 PDT: Thanks for so many great questions guys. This has been fun but I have a few things to polish off before tomorrow. See everyone at Evo! For those watching at home, please buy an HD pass if you have the means to do so.

We believe that if something is in the game, let it rock unless it makes the game literally unplayable. To me items are what make Smash unique and fun over other kinds of fighters. The Smash guys see it differently, and would rather distill the game down the most fair, balanced version they can. Rather than fight over who's right and who's wrong, we just decided to leave them alone and go our separate ways. permalinksaveparent[+]1338h4x 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (1 child)[–]1338h4x 4 points5 points6 points 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onCouldn't the same reasoning apply to gems in SFxT?

I think it's complete horse shit and fake excuse that the founders of Evo think that items should be in the game. If you want items in Smash Bros. to be at Evo, then start throwing other random shit in Street Fighter, because the game will be playable - just not at a competitive level.

Obviously you can't answer 100% because you don't know my own or the tournaments situation but am curious on if you think it's a worthwhile addition to a smaller tournament? We currently have 6 games for a two day event, with about 30-50 people expected to attend. Smash bros would probably bring at least 20 people in which would go a long way towards filling the venue fee with no current competitive outlet for smash players to get involved in.

Although as a smash player, I can assure you that items are not fair. If a bob-omb spawns right next to you, and the other player is at 25% damage or more they're screwed. Besides that items like the fan rack up damage very easily and quickly and all you're doing is pressing A. There's no skill there. Although I do see what you're saying about keeping them in because it doesn't break the game, you really have to be active in the smash scene to understand why it shouldn't be allowed. permalinksaveparent[+]inkblotSRK[S] 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (10 children)[–]inkblotSRK[S] 6 points7 points8 points 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onI agree items aren't fair.

If the luck evens out over time, tournaments don't show who was the best, they show who was the luckiest. I actually believe the same about poker. People can be dealt amazing hands all the time, and end up just getting lucky the whole way. As long as you know how to play the game, you can win. That's not true with games like marvel and street fighter. Those games people have to get very technical, they practice combos, you can't do that in smash, and items just remove the technical component. It devolves into a game of get the pokeballs or get the hammer. It takes the fun out of the game, and it takes the fun out of watching it.

Also, at the level the level that smash (melee) has reached today, one star on any competitive smasher would lead to a free stock. Yes, items are fun, and they do make for a good time but on a competitive level it would be way too unbalanced. For a few examples, edge guards would be ridiculously easy using any item to throw. Secondly, there wouldnt be a battle over a majority of the items because the delay of obtaining the item or the usefulness of the item would not be worth sacrificing the normal a attack. Thirdly, the invis item and metal box would just be gg.

If brawl was taken into account, assists and smashballs would have to be taken out for sure. However, the ability of endlessly air dodging might make some items feasible, if just barely. However, I feel that any fighting game would be ruined by items on a competitive level. However, I do respect your point of view. I just strongly desire melee to comeback onto the EVO scene, which is why I said my fill. Anywho, I hope melee online will increase the melee population. permalinksaveparent[+]lostasian2 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)[–]lostasian2 0 points1 point2 points 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onWell shouldn't you let the community decide on things like that? Especially since a game's community will know the game a lot more than everyone else. Also, items actually reduces the amount of options and skill in the game. Like, most items are used exactly the same by every character. In the early days of melee there were a few tournaments w/ items but eventually we decided the items off offered the most accurate assessment of skill AND depth. This wasn't something the community decided over night, it was discussed, debated, and executed for years... permalinksaveparent[+]lostasian2 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)[–]lostasian2 0 points1 point2 points 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on"It was just a difference of opinion over items. We believe that if something is in the game, let it rock unless it makes the game literally unplayable." By that same logic you could say that being able to turn items on and off is in the game. "To me items are what make Smash unique and fun over other kinds of fighters." There are plenty of things that make smash unique. In fact, items might be the least unique thing about it. Items are in other games like in the powerstone series. Things that make smash unique: How to KO Directional Influence Stages and Stage Control is emphasized more in smash than any other fighting game, like 50x more than in soul caliber. The game's physics and mechanics "side scrolling" Combo system Smash's Shielding system Smash's many Advanced Techniques not found in any other fighting series. Also, everything I listed above is different (sometimes drastically diff.) in each smash game. So even each smash game is unique from each other.

A couple of the things you mention have already been embraced by the FGC. It would be nice if the conversation could shift away from "eSport bad!" to "here are the things we are not going to lose" which for me personally would be a couple of things. Maintain a large and growing player base. Lots of eSports explicitly setup a pro vs. fan dynamic. I think it's better for the game's long term health and better for the community to have as many people playing as possible. Keep it more like poker, less like football (or Starcraft). Keep some perspective. Competitive gaming is a fantastic hobby. For 99.9% of gamers though, it's a terrible career choice. I think eSports way oversells the "go-pro" aspect to a lot of impressionable young kids. It's disturbing to see kids quitting their jobs, and foregoing higher education chasing after eSports riches. Can fighters embrace eSports while still holding on to what has kept us strong in the past? If so, let it rock. permalinksaveparent[+]genei_djinn 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (1 child)[–]genei_djinn 7 points8 points9 points 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onI had an amazing time at several smaller tournaments in Tennessee and Alabama this year (especially MWC!) and met a lot of great people and played a lot of excellent matches.

My question is, what do you think is important for attracting people to come out to events instead of sitting at home stream monstering or playing online?

Here's the short version. Sunnyvale Goldland introduced me to hardcore competitive Street Fighter and tournaments. After learning the ropes there, I decided to hold my own tournament (B3) to settle some internet grudges. A few years later, Peter Kang approached me and by brother about doing another tournament (B4) as the subject for a documentary, Bang the Machine. After B4, we figured we were pretty good at this sort of thing, so we started doing it every year along with MrWizard. B5, our next tournament, was our last event held in arcades. At that point we were just too big to fit in an arcade. We moved the party to the UCLA convention hall and rebranded it to Evo. Evo 2002 was still held on arcade machines. We had to rent every single machine in the city to run the event, and swore we'd never do it that way again. In 2003 we made the super controversial decision to switch to consoles. Many accused us of driving the last nail into the coffin of fighting games. I think it worked out pretty well. permalinksaveparent[+]pattheflip 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)[–]pattheflip 1 point2 points3 points 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onWasn't 2003 still on cabs?

Capcom (accidentally?) created a nearly perfect spectator game in SF4. It's simple enough to "get" on first viewing, deep enough to hold interest, and has great pacing and climactic moments with things like Ultras. This balance is so delicate it's amazing Capcom got it so right with SF4. SFXT shows us that small things like the length of ultra-like cinematics have a big effect on the watchability of the game. permalinksaveparent[+][deleted] 1 year ago (3 children)[–][deleted] 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on[deleted] [+]inkblotSRK[S] 11 points12 points13 points 1 year ago (2 children)[–]inkblotSRK[S] 11 points12 points13 points 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onI like button checks.

I played at UFGT and did somewhat well: 3rd in KOF Character Auction, 13th in SoulCalibur V, and 4th in my Skullgirls pool. However, there is simply no way I can devote the amount of time that it takes to play at the same level as some of the players who are able to practice 40 hours a week. I have a wife and a career that take precedence, but I still wish to be able to compete in tournaments. In other games and sports, such as tennis, car racing, boxing, and golf, pro/am splits are not too uncommon. permalinksave[+]inkblotSRK[S] 11 points12 points13 points 1 year ago (1 child)[–]inkblotSRK[S] 11 points12 points13 points 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onI don't think so. I'll go back to my old standby and say this is yet another case where fighters are like poker. An amateur poker player can maybe consistently win his weekly game, but isn't going to win the WSOP. The challenge for us as a community is to continue to grow the tiers of events for players. We need more local leagues like WNF, and a much bigger focus on regional events instead of calling everything a major. I actually think it's counter-productive to have the top 10 players in the US flying around the country every week. It stunts the development of local talent. permalinksaveparent[+]AuhsojSivart -3 points-2 points-1 points 1 year ago (0 children)[–]AuhsojSivart -3 points-2 points-1 points 1 year agosorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onI definitely agree.
