>Less than 24h until registration closes
>Still no "GGXrd just hit 1k at EVO!!" tweet from Mr Wizard
>SFV almost at 5k entrants + 50k pot bonus from Sony
Why
Less people play gg than sfv. Pretty understandable, though popularity doesnt make sfv a good game. Unless your delusuonal ofc.
Name recognition? Character recognition?
Guess people would rather play as Ryu than as Ky

I'm just sad that this year numbers will probably be smaller than last year.
>968 entrants for GGXrd -SIGN-
>less than 1k for GGXrd -REVELATOR-

As long as they hit the 900 mark it should be fine.
What we need is a very hype, diverse top 8, something like BB 2014 GF tier hype. If you want people to get interested in a game, you have to show its not boring
>>343287913
and as usual both have nothing to offer
>>343288901
That's actually my concern.
>What if GGXrd didn't hit 900?
>What if the drop is higher than 25%?
I'm worried...
>>343289138
Nah, im pretty sure itll be like 800 something, especially when you consider that tweet McRibs said to the MKX guy complaining that MKX starts earlier than GG, but wizard says GG has way more entrants than MK. MK sits at around 400, so if its way more, its probably at 800
Why can't something good be popular?
Why is always some stupid generic shit that gets all the people?
What am I missing?
>>343289471
Yeah, I guess. But to be make it clear
>Wizard did confirm that GGXrd had more than 500 entrants
>Wizard also confirmed that GGXrd had "waaaaay more" than MKXL
>But he also said that MKXL had more than 300 at the start of June
So IDK, probably close to 700? Or as you said, closer to 900.mfw it's actually over 1k but they simply didn't announce it

SF has always been the golden boy of traditional fighting games. The entire FGC owes its current state to the franchise, so even of the game isnt so hot, the community will still play the game.
At this point, its not a matter of whether or not another fighting game is better, its all about brand recognition.
>>343289621
I'm not mad SFV is huge, but I honestly wish GG had more appeal and could grow at least a little every year with Xrd...
