"Smash is a party game not a fighting game" - some dude who discovered what fighting games were after 2009
Sakurai is an 09'er then?

Nice, looking forward to seeing Kitana's variations.
Party Game = Not an Arcade Game = SF5 is Party Game Confirmed?

you should demand that they stream it during commercials.
These plans and policies are supported by comprehensive monitoring of outdoor air quality, and tracking of emissions.

I just think all the talk about smash is dumb because I remember what it was like before.
Where were these numskulls when I wanted to play alpha 3 and everyone else I knew wanted to play smash instead.

I always thought it would be fun to see NLB commentary on a sports game. Mute the TV, put the twitch on audio only.
Smash is a fg but damnnnn the scenes seem pretty different. Like we meet up for evo or whatever but there seems to hardly be any crossover. Their scene seems to be doing super great atm tho and has a lot of enthusiasts where the fgc would find none. Think a lot of casual people just dig the Nintendo appeal and find themselves getting sucked into the competitive smash world but I'm pretty ignorant so who knows.

As much as people give Sakurai shit, he's the reason the game is so well put together. Also he's trolling the fuck out of people now.
Seems a common trend for fighting game developers.
Ono, Harada, Boon, Sakurai. Maybe that's why Skullgirls, KoF, DoA and KI aren't that popular.

Sakurai never said it wasn't. People misinterpreted him. What he said is that it's not just a fighting game, it's not limited to the fighting game genre. It's a party game, but it's also a fighting game, which is apparent in his very deliberate design choices that are too complex and unnecessary for a simple party game.

Sakurai was an '09er in 2001, like some sort of mythical precursor
he's the Assassin's Creed ancient human of '09ers
LMAO "SF savants" are the new "Marvel minions".

I don't pretend to have experienced the history here, but the tale I am always told is that Smash has been hated on for a long time before SFIV came out. If anything, it seems like the 09ers, being the current generation of fighting game players, are part of the mood swing that has brought Smash to Evo. That's just what makes sense to me, though.

fuckin' called it, man
What the fuck is a party game
Did this ever happen yet? If it gets streamed I'd def like to leech too as I'm in a similar situation to Dahbomb.

Yeah I'm getting a little fed up with all of the whining over the lineup. The lineup is great.
The hate was very real for Smash in the bad old days. If you told fighting game players back in 2002 that SSBM would be the second biggest game at Evo over a decade later and generally accepted as a fighting game, people would have had a conniption (and wondered if FGs completely died).

Shouta and Vulva were great in that regard. Vulva helped get us just about half a row since they were there so early.
As soon as they let us in the ballroom, I remember a bunch of us getting in a mad dash to get good seats, lol. Were way better than last year too.

Itagaki was definitely a troll at times. You may be onto something, as DOA was arguably more popular when he was the lead at Team Ninja

Mike trolls all the time. The only difference is that people confuse his ideas, jokes and criticisms with actual hate when they bother to look his way. Not that he is a saint either. He has been pretty rough on the BB series post CT.
Edit: Not that I blame him. If I were a Tager player I probably would have quit BB a while ago.

"Fatality Maternity"
Hey guys, remember how there haven't been any Darkstalkers, SamSho, Garou, Arcana Heart, HnK, Project Justice, etc. games at EVO? I certainly don't because these series were clearly never significant enough to be included in the only tournament that can legitimize a competitive fighting game.
How the hell did Melty Blood win the vote to get in once?
I mean that beastnote post had a reasonable message under all the salt... If evo is ggonnabe the international tourney and not just catered to the American crowd it should consider what's relevant in other countries... Maybe they should have like a jp representative on evo staff or something
