Crazy. I believe Smash 4 and Melee both have over 2,000. Pokken has over 1,000.

 

[Strider_Blaze]

Well wishing the SF5000 the best of luck!

That's pretty great to hear.

 

[BY2K]

And thong Urien was confirmed.

What a day.

Though man, this EVO is gonna run to the last minute, ain't it? It should REALLY be 4 days, now.

 

[HStallion]

Well it still seams like the hardcore fighting game community dives head first into SFV even if general audiences weren't so hot on it.

 

[KZXcellent]

So excited for EVO. Can't wait to see which pro randomly dies in the pools this year.

 

[entremet]

Where's the obvious joke?

 

[Duxxy3]

Holy shit.

Organizing that many people is going to be a nightmare.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

Well, there's no way I can be worse than 4,999 people!

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Where's the obvious joke?

That everyone who bought it is playing at Evo?

 

[JayEH]

Where's the obvious joke?

Guess everyone who bought the game entered.

got that out of the way.

 

[Asd202]

Ded game is ded.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Balrog is going to own them all.

 

[The Lone Dragon]

I like that.

[jett]

Capcom has succeeded at getting MrWizard a good chunk of change. Better than nothing.

So what's the pot going to be?

 

[Aaronrules380]

Given that registration should be ending today, when can we expect full registration numbers?

Also, this is insane

 

[hwalker84]

Ki not sf5 deserves that amount.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Congrats.

Evo is gonna be massive.

 

[FadedRevolution]

Ki not sf5 deserves that amount.

If Killer Instinct deserved it then more people would of signed up.

 

[Renekton]

Ki not sf5 deserves that amount.

KI can get many more once they fix the stilted ragdoll animations. How did KI get out-animated by a lower budget title

 

[dmr87]

Such dead.

Spoiler

EVO's gonna be sooo good

 

[Tripon]

Where's the obvious joke?

That EVO will be a train wreck. They don't have nearly enough volunteers/judges for any of the games.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

popularity does not correlate with quality

 

[Neoxon]

Street Fighter 5000!

Congrats to Capcom, Mr. Wizard, MarkMan, & everyone else involved with SFV at EVO. This year's EVO is gonna be lit!

 

[Ivan 3414]

Huh?

Outside of content SFV plays very well which is the most important thing when it comes to these events so whats your point?

 

[jett]

They changed to a larger venue this year, but I'm not sure how much that's going to help. MrWizard really is going to have turn this into a four-day event one year.

 

[mekes]

They're gonna need a bigger weekend.

 

[The Argus]

Don't forget Zika.

 

[cordy]

Actually cracked up at that lmao.

Also, thong Urien? What?

EDIT: He's here!!!

 

[KingBroly]

A larger venue isn't going to help when you have that many people in that many Tournaments. 10,000 people across 4 Tournaments alone is insane.

Considering they're running SF5 pools constantly and Sunday is Top 64/128 down to Top 8 for SF5...it's gonna be a mess.

 

[Tripon]

That's not the issue, they literally dont have the manpower to organize for 11,000 entrants.

I'm going to EVO too so I'm going to experience first hand how they will make this work.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Don't forget Zika.

EVOla has been a problem every year, though

 

[Gunslinger]

Amazing. Now bigger question is can a washed up veteran like daigo get atleast 2500th spot out of 5000?

 

[The Lone Dragon]

Mr. Wizard was encouraging people to sign up earlier this week...trying to hit that 5000k mark before the deadline.

So, either they're more prepared than we think, or they're crazy.

 

[Valkyr1983]

Doubt it

Dude was never good

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Awesome. Look forward to tokido vs infiltration.

?????????????????????

 

[LiK]

RIP organizers

 

[capitalCORN]

All that money for Daigo to take...

 

[Aaronrules380]

I wonder how much overlap there will be between the big games. I actually expect Smash 4 and Pokken to have more overlap than Smash 4 and Melee.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

That seems like a hell of alot. I should watch one of these finally. What's the highest number of entries they've had

 

[Tripon]

Are you telling me that Killer Instinct is not the People champ? Then why did somebody make a thread claiming it is?

I'm not defending KI, I prefer SFV. Just saying that being more popular doesn't mean it's inherently better.

?????????????????????

Let me explain it to you like this: Just because more people eat McDonalds, doesn't mean it's better than a high end restaurant. No, that doesn't mean SFV is McDonalds and KI is a high end restaurant.

 

[Aaronrules380]

This tournament is by far the biggest they had. Last year's was huge, with over 2200 USF4 entries, and almost 2000 for each smash game, plus all the other games featured, (of course, overlap between games does exist to some extent), but this is way bigger

 

[Gunslinger]

I think around 2000 for usfiv last year.

Well that's idiotic. Sunday will have to be nonstop SFV from the early morning if they pretend to end this shit before midnight.

Damn this looks like a massive jump for SF alone I can only imagine how it is for the other titles. Welp I'm watching should be fun.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Wiz looks pretty confident for the whole weekend, we'll see how it goes.

And Sunday = Top 8.

 

[Infinite]

Are they still doing pools of 24 people?

 

[Fat4all]

i'm in to watch woolie fail again.
