EVO 2020 - Still hatin', still watchin'

[Jefe]

With corona chan running wild and now this mess, what a timeline. The perfect storm to burn the whole thing. Anyway, nothing going overseas? Iirc, Kuroda was arrested for grooming a few years back.

[Weltall]

Kuroda was released, pending trial, and then got arrested AGAIN for another assault on a minor. Dude is probably in jail for a very long time.

[Lokus]

Aside from the online CPT, Japan has the RAGE online tournaments for GBVS. Not really much else going on.

[gaira]

could be the best time for this to happen, with most events cancelled or online. give the cannons a chance to recover and the community to be ok with it. i don't have high hopes, but no reason evo should suffer as a whole just because of wiz dumbass.

[Lucavi]

EVO was suffering enough even if he never diddled with a little boy right now. This whole mess stinks, though. All of it.

[Weltall]

Damn, Zero the smash player got super cancelled over the last 24 hours. Dude went from 1 million subs to fucking done. He posted two long ass Twitlongers shifting blame and lying, got called out by Leffen and others, then made a 3rd Twitlonger just admitting and coming clean. What a shitbag. Good riddance.

These Smash players got fucking problems.

Smash tourneys are a perfect hunting ground for these predators. A ton of unsupervised children who’s parents don’t know any better because they figure a bunch of people playing as Mario or Pickachu in a party game can’t possibly be evil.

Been saying that shit for years.

People from the old DDR community seems to be ousting crackpr0n now:

[Weltall]

I mean it is common knowledge that Crackpr0n has been a piece of shit since day 1. No one from Cali would argue that lol

I hope strive has good netcode. I miss playing fighting games

[Weltall]

Whoa, serious one:

Noel Brown should be fucking done in this community. Forever.

[Lokus]

Seems like an old screenshot or rumor accusing m2k about nutting on people popped up. Which basically led to m2k having to defend himself by admitting something embarrassing about himself.


tl;dw he can't nut.

[Weltall]

That came out a long time ago, when he got catfished by a group of smash dudes.

[Lucavi]

I hope strive has good netcode. I miss playing fighting games

Where's the evidence that it'll be any different from the usual "For Us By Us" JP fluff?

@Welt: Nah man, that's all about keepin' it real. Old school and shit! Classic FGC, baby! You think that shit wasn't happening at those arcade afterparties and shit? Please.

[Lokus]

ArcSys is doing rollback for strive so there's a smidge of hope but it's their first attempt so when I say smidge I mean barely a blip.

[Lucavi]

I'm trying to temper my pessimism at the industry, but its difficult. So many recent games have released with the same problems.

Its fine, though. If EA can release C&C, Arcsys can do this.

[Lokus]

Whoa, serious one:

Noel's side with receipts. She lied.

Part 3: Noel lied. With receipts.

In other news, anyone hear anything about what was supposed to be announced at Evo?

[Lucavi]

Only thing I heard is that a few companies are trying to figure out how best to get that information out.
