YO EVO THREAD, numbers are in.
SFV - 5065 (new)
Smash 4 - 2637 (+711)
Melee - 2350 (+481)
Pokken - 1165 (new)
GG:Xrd Revelator - 903 (-65)
UMvC3 - 770 (-46)
MKX - 707 (-455)
T7 - 543 (+85)
KI - 540 (+143)
SFV has more entrants than both smash combined. KI having the most non-top 3 growth is surprising to say the least, but good numbers all around. I'm excited, especially after CEO SFV finals showed how good the game is.
Marvel removed next year?
EVO 2016 more like Nintendo games 2016
I wonder if KI will even stick around for next year. Wouldn't be surprised if it got dropped since there's a ton of competition for the slots.Please just kill Marvel to free up some space
>Pokken has more entries than Marvel and MKX
BUT POKKEN IS A DEAD GAEM
if nintendo was smart, they would host their own event to get all the money from smashers
>>343402412
It's been growing little by little since it came out, but then again Evo in general gets bigger each year, but for being low on attendees it's consistent in growth.
I can see Marvel and/or MKX getting the cut for KoF and Injustice 2 before KI leaves.
>>343402495
If Nintendo was smart, a lot of things would've happened by now.
Holy shit, I forgot Pokken was a game.
Why the fuck is that shit here?
>>343402839
Nintendo and markman shekels.
>>343402839
BECAUSE IT HAS PLAYERS
NO GAME CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT EVO SPOTS WHEN THEY HARDLY HAVE PEOPLE READY TO PLAY THEM
>>343402347
I hope so
>>343402347
eat a jar of dicks. marvel's the best game there
>>343403003
So then I don't want anyone to complain when the LoL fighter has more entrants than street fighter in the next year or two m'kay?
>>343403137
This might come as a surprise to you Anon
but
times change
Old games do not deserve spots in EVO just because they are old
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S1IbojAEEw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU3gV0oUUE8
I will watch only Smash since I can already tell nignogs or chinks are gonna win in any other fighting games.
>>343403237
>melee player tears
Thanks for these anon
>>343403237
why does he keep saying progress
>>343402265
>GG still at the 900 mark
Nice show of consistency, shame it didnt break 1k but with the competition out there with SFV and all, thats impressive.
>>343402347
>removing the craziest game out there
>specially after the crazy guy with Hulk Sentinel Haggar is wrecking shit
Fuck you
>>343403669
"crazy" is not an excuse
might as well add sf2 alpha 3 while you are at it
>>343403563
He understands the FGC are backwards, misogynistic dinosaurs
Should I buy Pokken? I just remembered it exists and aparently Scizor is coming
>>343403669
KI is still in there though :^)
>>343402265
Is KOF XIV a side tournament? Or is it too early for them to participte?BURNING ON THE INSIDE!
>>343402265
Glad to see pokken having such high numbers, if CEO is anything to go by then it's gonna be hype as fuck this yearhopefully the datamined dlc will be announced too
>>343403857
The online makes MK9 look responsive and if you play split screen you drop to 30fps but besides that it's pretty neat. If you can rent or borrow it first I'd recommend that
>>343402401
Feels good man
>>343402265
>no BlazBlue and KOF
>But 2 versions of smash and pokken
Come on mr.wizzard at least pokken shouldnt have been there, whats next? Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3?
>>343402347
Why?
>other games are dying
>people will still complain when wizzard accepts smash money instead of showing up for real fighting games
>>343402265
That smash growth though
We did it boys
>>343403237
If these people hate the fgc community, hate the tournaments, hate the payouts,and their games outperforms the rest, then why do they even want to associate themselves with the fgc?
>>343403868
>>343404121
KoF XIV and newest BB aren't even out yet. GG is better than BB anyways, dunno why you'd wanna go back except for waifu porn but you don't need to be at Evo for that
>>343404251
Try not to get whiny at actual fighting games now being played, smelly Smash autist.
>>343404121
Dude, I also hate that KOF is not going to be at EVO, but XIV wouldn't be available until August (and BBCF isn't available yet in consoles), and Sony wants SFV as its main seller for fightans.
Also,
>More than 1 anime fighter on EVO.
>Inb4 you try to tell me Pokken is anime.
Last year's numbers...
Ultra Street Fighter IV – 2227
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U – 1926
Super Smash Bros. Melee – 1869
Mortal Kombat X – 1162
Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- – 968
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 – 816
Tekken 7 – 458
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax – 437
Killer Instinct – 397
Street Fighter entrants have more than doubled.
>>343404420
GG and BB play so differently now that one replacing the other doesn't make much sense anyway. GG became far more about grounded play and more fundamental-esque, whereas BB went full anime with long combos and very free-flowing movement. Both are fine and have had great showings at EVO so having them there together would be great.
>>343404636
How the fuck did SF grow that much when I hear mostly complaints about it?
>>343402265
>smash games will still have the lowest payouts since Nintendo refuses to give pot bonus
>>343404784
Because SFV has a dedicated shitposting army. I'm not joking. The game has dedicated posters posting the same stale images every thread.
Also because FGC doesn't care about SP content.
>>343404784
Because you only go on /v/ for your gaming related news. All /v/ does is bitch, while the rest of the community has fun.
>>343404884
Take that as Nintendo saying to move the fuck on, manchild. Not even Nintendo likes Smash competitive players. Neither does the FGC. Nobody does.
>>343404784
Protip: /v/ is actually casual as fuck so they shit on games they are bad to look better
>>343404512
>pokken
>not a tekken game
So why exactly do we need 2 tekken and 2 smash games when we cant have 2 anime games?
Pokken and Smash 4 are just in because mr.wizzard wants to pocket as much money as he can. Not because they are deep competitive games.
I am completely ok with melee and Tekken 7. They are good and deep games.
But we really dont need smash 4 and pokken.
>>343404989
yeah no one likes them.
but they still beat all of your games except SF5 in entrants.
keep crying because your anime fighter #347 isn't there
>>343404989
Nintendo doesn't give a single shit about any competitive scene at all so I fail to see what point you're trying to make
>>343404309
We wouldn't have to if Nintendo listened to their fanbase and hosted their own tournament series
>>343405108
But all my favorite fighting games are there. I just find it funny how Smash autists cling on to their children games when even the director of the games is telling you to play proper fighting games instead of party game.
>>343405305
yeah, he's telling to them to play Virtua Fighter.
something that isn't even at EVO
>>343404309
Because its fucking evo dude
>>343404309
We needed the FGC because the community was dead and now we have tournaments all the damn time. EVO we still want for exposure and how big it is overall now. Almost none of the gods went to CEO and now it looks like Leffen isn't even going because they said Bo5 Top 8 might not return for a lot of games so what's the point of going to it. EVO is really the only thing Smash players care about.
>>343404467
Jebailey even said in his CEO statement that it was him (or someone else I can't remember) asking who's ready for Melee to hype up the crowd but realized he fucked up and then asked them to calm down which he said they did.
>>343405025
Protip: fightanfags are shitters in general and so desperately cling to the one genre they've learned to exploit so they can discuss why their one shitty fighting game is better than all the others
>>343405305
Why the fuck would we play something worse than Melee though? SFV is dumbed down to all hell, Marvel is dead, and anime fighters are anime fighters. Maybe King of Fighters but even then it's nothing like Melee. There is no video game which has movement better than Melee, it's just a fact.
>>343405795
Protip: you are mad lol
>>343405103
No one cares what you want, dumbass. Everything you've said is your opinion and nothing else.
>>343405801
Street Fighter is like soccer
It is proven concept and best no matter how much americans hate it
>>343402347
That's what they said last year.
The only way Mahvel will be removed is if it gets replaced with MvC4.
>>343405916
This.
Smash = handegg
SF = football
>>343405935
Only way MKX will get removed is by being replaced by Injustice 2
Companies that make games and sponsor EVO all want atleast one representative
>>343405856
Protip: I am right
>>343405346
>yeah, he's telling to them to play Virtua Fighter.
Sakurai?
Shit really?
>>343405935
>That's what they said last year.
And the one before that, and the one before that, and the one before that
>>343406063
Lol he mad
>>343404884
>>343404989
>>343405170
Nintendo sponsors many tournaments and contributed to the costs of the awesome theater used for Genesis 3. A rep even said off the record they'd rather contribute in ways that benefit the whole community rather than just the top 8 players. Sure, it's not like Capcom Pro Tour with Sony dumping hundreds of thousands into prize pots and letting Capcom Cup piggyback off an incredibly expensive press conference venue, but it's better than nothing.
>>343406067
Sakurai is kind of a madman now, his game design philosophy is wack and every other interview he has contradicted himself.
But yeah look it up. Iirc he was talking about smashes competetive side and said thats not what its about and to go play something more competetive like virtua fighter
>>343404784
People who actually go to tournaments and take the game seriously are loving it.
>>343404784
It has shittons of issues right now content and gameplay wise but it doesnt change the fact that its the pillar in which the FGC is built upon. People will say theyll move on to something like 7ekken or GG but you really cant stop SF.
SF can be a literal shit on a plate and the FGC will still play it.
>>343405882
I dont give a fuck who cares, i will still utter my opinion.
If you cant take that and you dont even want discussion why are you even on an imageboard?
Go to tumblr or /pol/ where retards like you have there safespaces and opinion echochambers.
>>343406327
Sakurai is amazing, I already respected him for not giving a fuck about smash autists and their wish lists of literally who's and competitive demands but damn, he knows his shit.
Also Uprising blows every Star Fox game out of the water and it was only in a handheld. Miyamoto is a disgrace for failing to not even be on par with it using a console for SF Zero
>>343406579
you can meme all you want, but street fighter gameplay is so solid, it continues to work after all these years
it is still the proper fighting game
>>343402490
it's easy so if you are already there for SF5 might aswell put just a few hours into Pokken beforehand and do well in a game you dont actually play.
>>343406579
>issues gameplay wise
Nah. It's solid. Casuals are buttmad it didn't launch with their favorite casual modes like shitty story where you fight bad AI and make casuals feel good about themselves before they cry about losing 0-10 online and returning the game.
>>343406665
>Meme
Its true though. I play the fucking game, go to my locals and play that shit every week, but it does have a lot of glaring issues.
>>343402265
>signed up for most games
>don't intend to train for most of them
Enjoy the free game fellow anons!
I don't know if there were any threads about this, but people found fighter files relating to Scizor, Darkrai, and Empoleon in the latest Pokken patch. So I guess there's a good chance that Nintendo isn't abandoning the game like I thought.
>>343402265
>KI growth
>MKX decrease
Yes.
>Mahvel is Dying
YES
>MKX - 707 (-455)
Jesus what a drop
>>343407062
Mahvel is on some insane life support. That thing is really grasping at life and its working. If anything you should commend the community for it. I dont like the game myself but that staying power is ridiculous
>>343407073
Even with the MKXL release, too. What happened?
>>343407073
I don't even know why NRS bothers with competitive scene now. They should just mail SonicFox a check every year lol
>>343407174
Injustice 2
Ed Boon screwing PC
SonicFox decimating everyone in the scene so hard he made the game his own college fund
>>343402265
Guilty Gear declined in the year that an expansion released and with no other anime game in the competition. Really odd.
>>343407331
>Injustice 2
But it's gonna be the same thing
>releases in spring
>momentary hyped keeps its numbers at around 1k
>everyone realizes Sonic Fox is the king of kusoge
>players drop
>>343407174
could have something to do with mkx being garbage idk
>>343402401
I can't wait for Kirby fighters deluxe next year
I will destroy all you faggots with based Parasol
>>343407419
Its pretty consistent though, just a 65 player drop. Even with heavy hitters like SFV, Tekken 7 and Pokken it managed to retain those numbers.
Besides an ArcSys game exceeding 600 count is a very big deal.
>>343403497
KI is mostly played by Americans, as is MKX.
>Ibuki and Balrog legal for EVO
WHO READY FOR SOME UPSETS
>>343407419
Don't forget, GG has like zero support from developers. No events, no leagues, no prizes, no marketing and no hype. Literally nothing. So it's pretty cool it still has such numbers. I honestly expected something like 600-700 so 900 is nice. GG is very fun to watch and anime in general can be hypest shit ever. With Dizzy's help it'll be one awesome show.
>>343407547
I'd play the shit out of that.
>>343407174
Well, for starters it's Mortal Kombat.
>>343407803
almost no one is going to use them because they'd be using a character they have 2 weeks of experience against characters people have 6 months of experience with
still would be cool if PR Rog made it to top 8 with a character he had for less than a month
twitch/pokkentournament
Get in here.
>>343408059
I'm not saying that Top 8 or even Top 64 is gonna littered with them, but you KNOW there are gonna be some people who grind the fuck out of them and have some secret jank tech that people won't know how to counter yet.
I want to see the salt.
>>343403857
Yes. It's pretty good.
>>343408220
"daigo has been put to losers at groups"
>still refusing Smash 4 the Sunday finals spot
>ends up having the most registrants of any Smash tournament in history
>the guy's excuse is that stream views are more important than attendance

Really hope this is the last EVO where they pander to Meleefags.

>>343408458
Don't worry, the public will see the pasty white virgin top 8 and melee will decline in popularity.
>casual babby fighting game has the most entrants
>still one of the worst selling SF games in the series history
>>343408331
>wanting smash 4 on Sunday
fuck outta here, game is so fucking slow and boring compared to melee. FGC already hates smash, we don't need them to hate it even more being forced to watch sluggish gameplay.
>>343408458
Really? what channel
>>343408585
>le sales matter meme
>>343402347
That fat faggot wizard won't ever let it go.
>>343408331
maybe he just picks what is considered more exciting?
sure, smash 4 has upsets but to people who just watch it without any knowledge melee is more exciting.
and melee at sunday is like marvel now, pretty much a tradition
Gee, I can't wait to see the same fucking top 8 we've seen for the last fifteen years for Melee with the same characters and the same strategies on the same stages.

Can someone give me a legitimate reason for why the FUCK anyone can stand smash 4 in any capacity?
That shit is so fucking boring and uncreative it makes me want to slit my wrists watching it.
How is it so popular when it doesn't even have any of the unique traits that makes melee stand out?
>>343402265
>GG:Xrd Revelator - 903 (-65)
Pretty good to be honest. Would have expected more people to have dropped the game after the beating they took last year.
>>343408659
ESPN, from what I've been hearing.
It doesn't say so in this article, but they have been actively covering it.
http://espn.go.com/esports/story/_/id/14660418/evo-2016-goes-big-lineup-finals-venue
Man Pokken is boring to watch
>>343408609
fgc can SUCK MY NUTS
>>343408795
Shut the fuck up faggot. You know when sales matter? When games I like outsell games you like or if games I don't like don't sell.
>He plays fighting games made by western SJW dev cucks who live in America
top kek
>>343408723
To be fair, most westerners dont give a shit about that. It does get all the hype and promo in Japan though, but their scene is a lot more insular.
>>343408561
And you think people want to see faces like Justin Wong, Infiltration, and PR_Balrog? I doubt Daigo will get Top 8 with all of the talent showing up but I will admit he's pretty sexy especially for a nip. Does he get a lot of pussy back in Japan?
>>343408717

>>343408964
KI is amazing though.
>>343408861
most people watch it cause it's balanced.
too bad majority of the characters aren't very interesting.
i mostly watch it cause sheik is fun in the game, too bad she requires near perfect play now at top level
>>343408723
It's event at EVO for american players. I'm talking about regional tournaments and money prizes, streams with proper commentators and all that cybersport shit. Xrd has litetally none. Only Jonio streaming consistently and it's on japanese.
>>343408861
New game hype and easier upsets, plus just because it's not exciting to watch for you doesn't mean it's not for others.
Some people probably just enjoy watching a more neutral based game, which there is nothing wrong with.
>>343408995
lol no thanks, I'll stick to the niggers in pokken, at least their jokes are fun to hear
>>343402265
>Some fat south american won Marvel by abusing super armor frames

>>It looks like the same shit every year.
>Y-you just don't know anything about it!
>>343409076
Smash 4 feels so sh*t to play tho....
>>343408980
They WILL see Tokido and they WILL see a man who never turns off and they WILL understand what it means to see a true fighting game at work.
>>343402265
Are we going to get another booing from the Melee crowd?
>>343409139
yeah, i agree.
except sheik, i wish more characters in smash 4 were designed like it
is HD streams again locked behind sub like last time
>>343404121
BB has been fucked by its release schedule since the very first game.
>>343408861
It's almost as boring to watch as the almost two decades of "unique" Melee matches featuring the exact same four or five characters consistently making top 8 in Melee, huh?
>>343409176
>we
But that would mean you were apart of the GG players/crowd at CEO, which you clearly werent if you think they boo'd specifically because of GG
>>343409124
Combos are easy to execute because of how breakers work.
So what gets dropped for potential incoming games next year (KoF, BB, Injustice 2)?
MKX is a given, and one of the Nintendo games is likely as well. Would they drop KI? Xrd? Would BB not even make it in since Xrd is already there and established?
>>343409176
Reminder
https://ceogaming.org/ceo2016feedback
>I take full responsibility for this one.
>Being able to stand on stage in front of thousands of people with the power to incite excitement can get the best of us wanting to reach out to the crowd. While I did not try to get the crowd too crazy, I simply asked if the crowd waiting for Melee was excited to get it going and they excitedly responded. They also got quiet again when I politely asked them to calm down and not affect the other games going on. Their chant lasted only a few short seconds so I wouldn’t pick on their community too much for it.
>First and foremost, I believe this was another issue with the size of the venue. Historically, trying to feature 3 different games at once, like in previous years, was never an issue. The energy of every single person in the main room all weekend was something special and I again apologize for any issues anyone may have experienced due to my inciting the crowd during play. The community was not at fault for that issue.
tl;dr Jebailey ASKED people if they were hyped for Melee and the people responded. When Jebailey told them to calm down, they promptly calmed down.
Don't listen to GG shitters trying to get people to feel sorry for them.
>>343409176
no, unless they announce a 1-2 hour delay on stage again
>>343409139
>I can't into offstage play
Just grab the ledge an wait like the melee scrub you are instead of going for the spike

LOL

>>343409176
>have to sit through Melee to get a good seat for SFV
Last year was one of the most unbearable years I've attended because of having to sit through that shit
The one thing I'll say as a casual viewer is that at least Smash 4 has multiple different songs per stage
>>343409278
>you find the different characters more exciting than the fast, frantic, freeform gameplay
Meanwhile in Tr4sh, you have down throw up air be an amazing combo and no one dies until fuckin 130%. There's a reason the game is two fucking stocks compared to melee's FOUR
>>343409324
BB would still be too early. I can see WB pushing for MKX and Injustice 2 next year before phasing MKX out entirely.
KoF will need a slot and honestly though, I would bet they replace Marvel with it.
>>343409278
>a game's entertainment value is based solely on its balance
this is what casuals actually believe
I bet you think third strike and marvel 2 are boring as shit also huh
>MKX
>Western block button kusoge
Mortal Kombat only persisted as a franchise because stupid kids thought actor graphics and blood were cool, despite the games being shit.
>>343409324
GG will probably remain as the premier anime game. Its playerbase is a lot more solid and they actually attend events to some extent.
BB will probably make it in the "Lets try this shit out for a while" slot like Persona 4 Ultimax and Pokken
>>343409413
>I didn't watch CEO
>>343409128
Yes that is how competitive games work anon, are you okay? You're stuttering a bit.
>>343409176
STINKY DAY
>>343409413
>fast, frantic, freeform gameplay
You mean what looks like the players spazzing all over the place with nauseating camera movement until they out-bug each other into ending the round? Yeah, you bet I prefer different characters.
>>343402265
They smash numbers are meaningless when it's the same 4 people every time. The games don't exactly have a high barrier of entry. Probably less than 5% are even serious competitors same for that retarded Pokken game.
>>343409412
Bring a pillow too since faggotbox is sure to bore you to sleep.
>>343409515
funny, i asked in those CEO threads for hype WEBMs from Smash 4, nothing came up.
M2K vs Plup was more exciting than any smash 4 set there
>>343409413
>no one dies until fuckin 130%
I wish. I get triggered whenever I get hit by Limit Cross Slash and die at 70.
All smash games would be lot more palatable if each player did not have like fucking 5 lives and games did not take 10 years to finish
>>343409492
Wow it's almost like they snubbed Smash 4's Sunday spot or something
It's pretty clear that whatever gets the Sunday position gets more views, wiseguy
>>343409487
Marvel is never going away. MvC2 stuck around for almost a decade without any updates or rebalancing, and was only replaced because a sequel was released. It would take MvC3 having KI numbers for it to ever get dropped.
>>343409591
>spazzing all over the place with nauseating camera movement until they out-bug each other into ending the round
Way to spout buzzwords. Either way, enjoy your Saturday timeslot while I'm watching melee at prime time :^)

This holy shit. I watched melee for the first time last evo and I was bored out of my mind.
By comparison, the USF4 matches that went to time kept me on the edge of my seat.

I listed my complaints as a viewer and you responded without an actual counterargument.
Then again, I shouldn't have expected anything different.
>>343409492
lel why do you post this image when smash 4 was on a saturday and melee was on the main day, sunday?
>>343409487
BB is supposedly releasing on consoles this winter. That's plenty of time for it to make it in next year.
>>343402265
GG is going to be insane this year there are so many killers from Japan there will be team killing in early pools.
>>343409776
And one SFV game can take 1-2 minutes
>>343409786
no, i searched from other places, nothing came up.
it's almost like smash 4 has boring gameplay
>>343409324
I'm not sure why BB is getting shafted after it had one of the best finals in EVO.
>>343404784
cause that fuck huge prize pot sony/capcom put up. and hell its been that for years that even many of that top SF players don't really like it or vastly prefer other games and only play it cause it tends to have the biggest cash prizes. and since its all about money to many of them why would they bother with lesser paying games.
>>343409776
The average melee game takes 30 seconds for someone who has higher input to win, even players take the etier 7 minnite most matchs
its like you have never watched a melee gf ever
>>343409895
>best finals
BBfags keep telling everyone that like it was real
>>343409895
Revelator came out. CF is not out yet.
>>343409867
and? do you have adhd?
>like 10000 people
how big is this place
>>343409740
>it would take MvC3 having KI numbers for it to ever get dropped.
So next Evo judging by their respective growth and decline :^)
>>343408964
Who are you even talking about?
>>343409876
>I didn't even try
so you went from asking to looking yourself
sure thing bud
>Guilty Gear
>No BlazBlue
wow, nice fucking meme tournament.
It's literally like if we decided to keep playing SF2 instead of SF5 because we didn't want to learn a new game.
Fuck off.
>SFV that high
I thought /v/ said that SF was finally dead.
>>343409849
Because people are idiots and just want to shitpost.
If anything, it's amazing that Smash 4 got almost 100k on a Saturday. The second biggest Saturday game only had 66k.
>>343403069
>>343402347
As long as they get enough entrants, it'll be there.
Marvel is still a very watched game and iirc the finals were second to last on Sunday right behind sf4
Also
>implying you didn't like KBR blowing people up with hulk
My favorite top 8 so far. Better than SOUL FIST! or I CANT CONTROL IT
>>343409943
Slow repetitive games are not good spectator sports
>>343407419
The game is too complicated for most people to bother signing up for a throw away match. The competition is going to be nuts though.
>Tr4sh kids come and ruin the thread with anti Melee shitposting
Ahhh, poetry. Enjoy your Saturday slot ;^)
>>343406837
nah dont also forget about that 8 frames of lag on the inferior platform which they are being forced to use instead of playing it on pc with half of that shit
>>343410056
kill yourserf
no one wants to use PC
>smash smells
>smash is autistic
>meanwhile furries, trannies, rapists, actual niggers who steal, old men, disgusting ass people like art and marn, and some normal people make up the fgc
wew lad
>>343409895
GG has always been the more popular franchise and has a longer history at Evo, and they have historically been pretty averse to having both at the same tournament.
>>343410010
Have you ever heard of soccer
>>343410010
Obviously there's something wrong then since Melee only gets trumped by SF5 in viewership. Even if you say it's only because they're at Evo, it's the same for Smash's premier tournaments too.
>>343409991
CF isnt even released for consoles yet.
>>343410109
Yeah fuck soccer
>>343410143
It's the biggest spectator sport in the world boyo
>>343404309
Because either
a) You continue to hate each other but that take advantage of your venues and popularity to spite you
b) You actually mellow out and stop shitting on each other for once
>>343410106
>Actual niggers who steal
>Evo didn't have problem with thefts until Smash arrived
>>343410106
> smashfags are literally this insecure
>>343410208
Only braz monkeys watch it
>>343409326
What do you think being in the center of the Melee crowd smells like? Just wondering hoho.
>>343410208
it is also the most boring sport in the world
just because third world loves it does not mean it is good
>>343409124
>I don't know what I'm talking about
>>343409708
>>343409849
maybe there's a reason for that
maybe smash 4 is fucking mind numbing and no one cares about it so it gets put in the shittiest timeslot where it belongs
>>343409842
"spazzing all over the place until they bug-out each other" is not a fucking complaint. It shows you have no idea about the actual gameplay of high level melee, faggot.
That kind of response isn't worth an actual retort.
Meanwhile here are some ACTUAL complaints with smash 4
>Defensive options are too good (shield, multiple air dodges)
>Too much landing lag on aerials making offense harder
>Rage as a comeback mechanic is retarded
>Being offstage is no longer a punishment and people's recoveries are way too good, especially when almost everyone auto-sweetspots the ledge
>Unless you hit a random smash attack, people live to 120+
>Lack of hitstun on most atatcks means most combos are 2 hits long, unless its utilt>utilt>utilt shit
Gotta a retort this time, faggot?
>>343410230
Actually the year GG came back was the same year thefts were being reported.
>>343409991
Revelator just came out a month ago in consoles. Calm your fucking autism
>>343410264
>soccer
>more boring than baseball
sure
>>343409176
>Anime game not at 9am
WHAT UNIVERSE ARE WE IN
>>343409863
Machaboo will win dont even kid yourself.
Sin will then get nerfed to oblivion.
QUICK
Post the best character in their respective game
>>343410208
Any game that can and often does end 0-0 is not a good spectator sport, yuropoor.
>>343410398
>>343410238
>ur insecure lul
I play a lot of fighting games. I'm calling it as I see it. The smash community is awkward but the fgc is
>>343410332
Anon, here's the thing. Most of the GG players were also BlazBlue and Persona players.
I know this is hard for you smash players to understand but FGC doesn't play one game in a vacuum.
>>343410305
well that explains why memelee got put in a shit timeslot for CEO
>>343410305
>90,000 people care about it
>no one cares about it
???
>>343410440
oops wrong file
>>343409854
Oh is it? I thought it was next year.
So KoF and BB will be new, possible cuts being, MKX, KI, maybe even Marvel and Pokken. It really just depends how deep sponsor pockets are. WB could pay to keep MKX one more year like with 9 and MS same with KI even though I don't think there will be a Season 4, maybe a mini-season though.
Tekken 7 will be on console next year so it's not like Bamco will need pokken after that but if it stays popular then why take it out. Capcom doesn't care about marvel, only the fans but they've kept it alive thus far on their own.
Really hard to say desu
>>343402839
Because a shitload of nintendrones signed up for evo.
>>343410003
I think it's literally like 5 animefighter autists who spam the same threads and reaction images, probably tripfags from /vg/
>>343410305
>Nothing new ever deserves a shot at the primetime slot
Closed-minded as usually expected of Meleefags
>>343410464
So why was it exactly when GG came back that this happened and not before?
>>343409931
I'm watching it right now and HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK. This is amazing.
Last year's GG finals were pretty good too but it'd been better if that one fag wouldn't have gifted the round at the final.
Why is UMVC3 still there?
Why did Didney and Marvel pull the license?
>>343410440
Jesus Christ I forgot how funny that shit was
>>343410593
Because MUHVEL
Is Catherine going to be at EVO this year?
>>343410593
Wizard really fucking loves it.
>>343410238
>>343410458
Whoops, the fgc is genuinely fucking shit. All the people I've ever met locally are either really weird or reddit tier memers, which to be fair so is smash, but these guys are easily 5-10 years older than your average smash player which is probably the youngest demographic in fighting games. Fgc are actual manchildren in the worst way
>>343410564
Because it started with melee getting in and you fags keep trying to deflect it.
Unless you really think all the people that play on modern sets are going to steal run down CRTs.
>SFV
>5000
God fucking damn
>>343410326
>post a bunch of opinions about balance like they are fact, completely obliviosa to the fact balance is entirely subjective an really just means what feels fun to play
sure is meleefag in here
>>343409776
Smash takes way longer than every other fighter per set and you fags always cry until you get best out of 5.
Is he autistic?
>>343410645
It'll be at the anime EVO event.
>>343410710
I dont cry, Im a man
>>343410593
It's not going away until MvC4, which is actually looking like a possibility now that Marvel is letting other companies like Insomniac work on their games, and Disney and Fox are potentially burying the hatchet and reuniting the X-Men with the rest of the MCU.
>>343410008
i hate watching kbr play. his team just relies on mashing out bigbody armored moves + Haggar assist. totally valid strategy, just dumb as hell.
>>343404784
Because the complains are from people who dont play the game. The people who actually play a game dont give a fuck about arcade mode or story mode. And also has enough competitive friends to host local matches.
Game is great and it shows. Its one of the most balanced base games ever. It can only get better with time.
It also doesnt help that SF overshadows every other fg and the fans from said fgs get salty as fuck and spread misinformation.
>stream views are more important than playerbase attendance
Mr. Wizard literally saying that it's all about the money. Fuck EVO.
>>343410725
Nah, nobody told valle he was too close to the camera
>>343402347
Remove smash instead
>>343410396
The J will win.
>>343410708
I hope it hits 6000 or 500 people bail because I cannot watch a single SFV stream from Evo this year if it stays at 5000.
Fuck Mike Ross, fuck Skisonic, fuck James Chen, fuck sp00ky, fuck Peter, I don't want to hear SF5K being said throughout pools, top 64, top 32, top 16, top 8, and how insane it is that the grand finals fought through SF5K to get there.
>New characters allowed at Evo
You just know someone is going to make a deep run with Balrog or Ibuki because no one knows the matchup. Might even steal it like Rose and Gen did. So fraudulent.
