EVO 2022 - Crowd CELL YELL Returns! (Full)

THE HYPE RETURNS
8/6/2022
Las Vegas, NV.

[@Gustavozxd13]

The fact that they restarted an official tournament fight, just because of an intro where a character yells, goes to show that these people are really here for the fun of it and love of the game at the end of the day

[@n0oo7]

Iirc tournament was running over so admins asked them to skip intros

[@tzitzitzitzi1584]

That's what this is all about, give the fans that literally pay your salaries what they want. It ain't much, just had to redo the selection process. Glad they skipped it the first time just to go back and do it again.

[@AirLancer]

@@tzitzitzitzi1584 Lol, salaries? You're thinking of the wrong games my guy.

[@WakoDoodle]

@@zelohendricks51 The sad part is, it's pretty much a wannabe Cell X. Let me know if this sounds familiar. In dragonball online some scientists try to recreate cell but release him too early and incomplete, so it turns into a giant monster of what he's supposed to be. The giant cell called Cell X then manages to escape and in a cave, produces children called Cell Jr. X which are far stronger than the cell we know; but not as strong as Cell X. As the player, you go there in a dungeon and try to take him, eventually destroying his core (like in the cell saga) and stopping his spread of chaos.

[@markwilson4686]

No joke. Say what you want about dbfz, but it was very much needed to spice up the fgc esports scene when it came out. Esports etiquette and let down titles were doing a number on the FGC at the time, and when dbfz came out it brought a lot of personality and hype that was being suppressed for far too long.
