This is their biggest tournament of the year dude.


A lot of FGC majors are pretty hype. Nowhere near this, but then no one else can gather thousands of competitors.

Sounds like League of Legends :O


Honestly, it's more comparable to a Shootmania (or something) player looking at the guys surrounding him, thinking his game is much bigger than it is, and claiming that they should be spoken of in the same breath as Quake without knowing the history of Quake.

Even with the game being as old as it is, it's competitive history is tiny compared to the 'the traditional fighting game community'. It's your classic strong headed young guy trying to get respect from the old guard and flailing about when they don't want to freely give it.

Smash Bros has the advantage of having the young youtube generation behind it though. Read into that however you will.


You are just a hater.


And it appears you are one of those young youtube generation. My post was not an attack on the game. It was an attempt at a more realistic view of the situtation. The whole world isn't out to get you or your game.


Melee was released 2001.

Youtube was released in 2005.

Consider your replies carefully.


Hmm? Generations are a period of time based on culture events. Time much bigger than the 4 years. Would you prefer I use the term Generation Z instead? It's the same thing really.

Generation Z was at most around 5 in 2001, so no, it's not the correct term either.

How many viewers did TI2 for dota2 get?


500k I think with chinese viewers


Didn't the first Dota 2 The Defense have like 2 million concurrent viewers? The one that was essentially the unveiling of the game.


uhh 2million concurrent is a little exaggerated, don't you think? I don't remember JoinDota ever releasing a number anyway

according to valve TI2 had 567k

http://blog.dota2.com/2012/09/the-2012-international/


I remember seeing the number myself in a player. It was the first Dota 2 tournament, the official unveiling of the game and had a massive prize pool.


Are you talking about TI1? Iirc the opening rounds did have 1.5 million+ watching.

The opening rounds definitely did not have 1.5 million concurrent watching.


That was across all languages. English only had 300k iirc. Vaguely I found this old post: https://www.facebook.com/joinDOTA/posts/247700551931398 but it was a hot topic back then since people were comparing numbers to LoL (because they never not compare).

135k viewers watched Smash. Something tells me AE and Marvel can't top that but Smash has tons of history. It's like if a big OGN Broodwar tourney came back with every single legend in their prime. It's just that one moment in a trillion.

If the new Smash is a good competitive game, it will be purely by accident given Nintendo's stance. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they purposely try to "sabotage" it as a competitive game.

Then that confuses the issue of if Melee comes back next year, or if they might try the new one.


Depends if Nintendo can actually learn and not make a shitty competitive game again like they did with Brawl.

Nintendo doesn't really give a shit about competitive gaming though.


nintendo almost didnt even give permission for this game to be streamed. shows u how much they really care about the community that supports their game

That was so entertaining! What's the community site for SSBM? Does it have a TL.net equivalent? Watching Armada play Peach was so cool.

I disagree, most fighting game tournaments have very little downtime whereas SC2 tournaments tend to have much more downtime(in between matches).

When we talk about in-game downtime it's absolutely no contest.

don't know how likely it is that a mod will be played at an official event, tho.

The foundations of your argument is faulty.

There is no generational difference between the SSF/MvC3 competitors and the SSBM ones.

Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, numbers like the ones that just showed up to watch Melee can convince them otherwise.

If not? They accidentally got it right with Melee, perhaps that title will just be immortal.

BTW it's a shame that Quake is pretty much dead in terms of viewership. It's probably the most dynamic esport title


i'm not sure of the history but i think quake live was what killed it, unfortunately. theres some great videos out there where a pro (i think rapha?) talks through a replay of entire match and explains his decision making process. really great insight into map control, timing the buffs, and reading the opponent.

TBH the competitive community represents less than 1% of the people buying SSB

Thy gave in like 4 hours later. It seems like it was a knee jerk reaction to not stream it, but better heads prevailed.
