I like how 80% the comments are crying about Spawn and Link not being in the game - two bonus characters who were trash tier and weren't even viable in competitive play - and virtually no hype about the fact that this is, quite possibly, the best 3D fighting game ever made and it's returning with online play. If you…

I hate to be that guy since it seems like you can't critique anything on the internet these days without someone saying, "Well lets see you do better!", but I'm surprised by just how many of their stunts failed to trigger. The 3rd pyramid didn't fall, the (what appeared to be) "Dominos" sign didn't roll out, the 2nd…

I love how people act like this is some form of abuse. It's a DLC expansion for the game. When did the public perception shift from "there are both good and bad forms of DLC" to "all DLC is inherently evil"? The game came out 5 damn years ago. This isn't "on disc DLC"; This isn't "content ripped from the original…

"I know someone that works for Riot."

Did you not even read the post you're replying to? I'm not comparing a game that's free vs a game that isn't. I'm comparing one competitive gaming scene to another. Secondly, the numbers aren't faked. I've already mentioned in another comment that the numbers have the evidence to back it up. That leaves the burden of…

When your game is supporting 300+ players in professional leagues, most of whom are pulling down 6 figure salaries (before you even factor in their prize winnings), clearly someone is watching them play. You also don't rent out arguably the most popular event venue in North America to host your tournament or have the…

Pointing out how stupid your logic is doesn't make me angry. I'm just letting you know your shitposting is pointless.

Football is a wonderful sport and League is a great game. What's that? You have a different opinion than I do? Clearly you have horrible tastes. I bet you eat dog shit for dinner and masturbate with a cheese grater . Look at all the 100% accurate conclusions I can make about an anonymous person on the internet who…

I'm not sure where you got your information or if you even play LoL, but it's entirely false. There's no way to directly view their stream through the LoL launcher. The launcher will link you to the LoL eSports page that does contain the various streams where you can watch, but no - there is no inflation or false…

I'm comparing competitive gaming statistics as a whole. This has nothing to do with Smash in particular, but rather EVO/FGC as a spectator event.

LoL is the most popular game IN THE WORLD. You're entitled to your opinion, but clearly most gamers disagree with you.

OP's statement showed surprise that competitive gaming as a whole was pulling down so many viewers; not Smash specifically. Thus I was pointing out that other competitive games pull down much, MUCH larger audiences.

130k seems a lot less impressive as a competitive gaming statistic when League of Legends events are pulling down 18+ Million viewers.

130k is nuts to you? League of Legend's All-Stars event back in May pulled in 18 Million viewers. That's more than most primetime tv shows and even surpasses the average viewership of NFL games.

The prize pool doesn't really matter as much since pro LoL teams make yearly 6 figure salaries before you even factor in their prize winnings thanks to having a professional sports-like league in each of the 5 major regions. Prize pools matter more with other games because tournament winnings are their only income.…

A similar concept that I'm quite a fan of is movie barcodes:

It's easy enough to infer all this information from that insipid drivel you called a post. Also, your condescending tone is hilariously misguided. Nothing in my post was even remotely angry. I just enjoy telling you what a giant fuckwit you are. It's okay though. I'd pretend I'm better than other people on the…

Boo hoo. Go cry some more. You would chop off your left nut to get paid to play games. Stop being a whiny douche because these guys pull down 6 figure salaries doing what you can only dream of while you flip burgers for pennies on the dollar.

It's just the vocal minority effect. When the majority feels a certain way, they really have no need to justify their opinion whereas the minority group feels their opinion is under-represented thus having a desire to speak up. That's why you'll see so many comments to the effect of, "Does anyone else think ________?"…

Look, I'm not saying you're toxic or an idiot, but if you can't progress up the ladder, then clearly there is something you're doing wrong and some area where you can improve. Maybe you don't make ALL those mistakes, but I'm sure you fall prey to more than a couple of them. Most people think, "I lost the game, but I…
