[MrDaravon]

Yo who the fuck is this guy playing Flux right now, I have never seen some of this shit

 

[MiniBossBattle]

No Hori discount on their PS4 stick? 300 dollars?! woof.

 

[jbug617]

Has not been revealed, other than there is 30 or 32 participants, and some gimmick likely

It's single elimination (rounds are 3/5) in Edition Select. Winner stays on and the next person goes up.

Yes please

 

[Jigolo]

$60 down the drain because I can't find coverage for work :/

 

[TheChits]

Ryo's Ike is real nice

 

[Exile20]

This Smash 4 stream is freaking hype as shit.

 

[chronosic]

Any madcatz fight stick discounts going around?

 

[Seiniyta]

Holy fucking shit, that combo into the KO punch. My god O.O. That was amazing!

 

[RedEther]

This Smash 4 stream is freaking hype as shit.

Yep this Ike/Little Mac team is pretty dope

 

[StriKeVillain]

That smash room is HYPE. Haha, damn.

 

[mStudios]

Smash 4 is hype as fuck

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

LETS GO SMASH 4 this stuff is amazing

 

[Revven]

I didn't think I'd ever see Little Mac and Ike get far in a doubles tournament. Impressed. They practiced a lot together.

 

[Chase17]

Little mac and Ike team is so much fun to watch.

 

[theprodigy]

Melee commentary is antihype, let's check out Smash 4

 

[phaonaut]

Any know what the rules to the Royal Rumble event are? Random pick, stay on sticks to you lose or win it all???

 

[Sojiro]

Fucking glued to the smash 4 stream, sooo good.

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

20k people watching smash doubles between melee and 4. That's insane.

 

[Boombloxer]

SF IV, MKX, UMvC3 and some Tekken.

Everything else is a food break.

 

[phaonaut]

20k people watching smash doubles between melee and 4. That's insane.

Its probably the same people multistreaming

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

Its probably the same people multistreaming

Still crazy numbers, even if it's only like 13k unique.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Wow that makes even umvc3's stream count look even worse since there's probably multistreaming between that and USF4

 

[Ultra Numb]

20k people watching smash doubles between melee and 4. That's insane.

Yeah, it'll probably get a bit higher.

It'll reach really high numbers on Sunday though. I'm guessing 80kish for the Melee stream alone. Smash4 should have similar numbers.

 

[joe2187]

Wow the Xbox twitch app is being super ass today, cant watch shit

 

[mStudios]

bruh, use livestreamer on your PC

 

[Anth0ny]

20k people watching smash doubles between melee and 4. That's insane.

yeah, crazy numbers for a friday.

singles top 8 on sunday will be insanity.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

It's not just Smash.

SF4 was at 11,000+ earlier (basically the same as Melee right now)

Divekick is currently at 9,462...more than Smash 4 at 9,190.

Like I said, lots of factors affect stream numbers.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Is there anything going on besides Divekick right now?

nvm looked at the front page and found the Smash 4 doubles

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Is there anything going on besides Divekick right now?

There's Smash. I think in a half hour or so, USF4 Battle Royal starts.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Is there anything going on besides Divekick right now?

nvm looked at the front page and found the Smash 4 doubles

Divekick is already over.

 

[SloaneRisette]

THAT BUCKET

DAMN

 

[theprodigy]

It's not just Smash.

Like I said, lots of factors affect stream numbers.

Melee is at 12,000+ now though

 

[FSLink]

VanishBucket is so dumb, lol

 

[Tripon]

Again, Team Spooky and vgbootcamp are the most mainstream FGC and Smash channels right now

 

[KidA Seven]

Yeah, it'll probably get a bit higher.

It'll reach really high numbers on Sunday though. I'm guessing 80kish for the Melee stream alone. Smash4 should have similar numbers.

Is this the biggest Smash tournament since Apex?

 

[Chase17]

Here comes the little mac and Ike hype!

 

[TheChits]

Is this the biggest Smash tournament since Apex?

Without question, at least for Smash 4

 

[Ultra Numb]

Is this the biggest Smash tournament since Apex?

Yeah, for Smash4. Not only in terms of entrants but just hype.

Melee too, but "I'm not yelling" was also pretty big.

 

[FSLink]

Poltergust using Luigi? Was expecting the double Yoshi. Good stuff so far though.

 

[smoothj]

I love watching these tourneys on the weekend. Slowly I've been more drawn to the MKX fights. Like seeing Sonicfox whoopin ass.

 

[jett]

What happened to the Ultra Royal Rumble?

Why am I watching animu

edit: oh it's after this

 

[Rice-Eater]

Anybody know if Melee and USF4 hit the 512 cap? I figured Melee should easily, just wondering if USF4 did or how close it got. FR went from 350 to 476(last official count but it was a little higher) with late registrants. So I was curious to know if CEO could beat that to become the biggest SF4 tourney ever outside of EVO.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

yes for FGC events, not so much for Smash-centric events (which is why SmashCon is mildly interesting)

Typically no. The $500 bounty for knocking Zero out plus a recent movement by the 4 community to develop a community infrastructure are mostly to owe for that. This is 4's biggest tournament until Evo happens so for them it's a proving grounds.

At FGC events (NCR, Texas Showdown, KSB, Spring Fighter, etc.) Smash 4 usually gets more. At Smash events Melee usually gets more.

Also Ryo & Sol. OMG.

No. Melee usually beats it out on all fronts, from entrants, to stream numbers. I believe this is the first time for a national.

This is good for Smash4. But it's not too surprising because the main event of CEO 2015 is clearly Smash4 with the whole "undisputed, undefeated best" ZeRo in attendance with people that can legitimately beat him for the first time since Apex. A bounty has even been put on his head, whoever eliminates him gets a bonus. There's a lot of hype for it.

Although Melee singles could end up reaching the CEO cap too as late registrations are being allowed and the Melee community is notorious for late entrants. EVO 15 is where the hype for Melee will really show, with the whole "Mango 3VO" coming into play.

What am I supposed to believe

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Dat finish tho

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

Ryo with the IKE IS HYPE!!

 

[Mr. Thee]

dat Aether doe

 

[Moonlight]
