Wasn't SBO always a console only tournament when it was around? I recall them adding MVC3 to the lineup with no issues.

 

[Anth0ny]

no mahvel
no smash

SBO was mainly arcade.

Fine

IT'S TVC TIME

Is that better?

 

[Gren]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Contrary to popular belief, Capcom Co. Ltd. doesn't own the Street Fighter IP, but rather Capcom USA. It's the reason why they added the Capcom USA listing to Smash 4's character copyrights when Ryu joined the roster via DLC.

They also own the rights to Final Fight.

I'm sure we'll never know if this truly complicates matters between the two branches, but if it does, it's incredibly ironic how short-sighted Capcom Japan was at the time of the transfer.

EDIT: Rubbing my palms in earnest awaiting the great Capcom beat 'em up renaissance.

Lol, my question was totally wrong. I meant to say "Arcade only" instead. Thanks for answering.

Surprised they didn't just go with Gundam for the third pick.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Guess we now which ones are the real fighting games 😏

 

[Cloukyo]

I think giving other games centre stage might be cool though, Xrd and Tekken 7 are both brilliant games, and it's sad that SFV is still seen as the go to fighting game (especially how weak V is compared to IV), especially now that Tekken and GG are more accessible than ever.

 

[Yohane]

Why is EVO Japan arcade machine only? What's the point?

Also, does Smash Bros have an arcade machine version in Japan?

 

[Neptonic]

SFV can't catch a break

SFV is a second class citizen now. Love that Smash Bros got picked over it, which is another console game. That's fantastic.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

lol rip evo japan then

 

[lucebuce12]

SFV can't catch a break

At this point, It doesn't deserve one.

No KOFXIV either? Evo Japan legit #RIP

I think its a really really good fighting game... inside of one of the worst packages i've ever seen.

What is EVO Japan SAI? Different from EVO Japan? After E League I wouldn't mind watching more SFV

It's the first sentence in the article:

Back in the middle of March, Evo Japan organizers announced that three games would be featured in their pre-tournament, entitled [sài].

 

[sephi22]

Oh right. So SFV still might make into EVO-J proper.

 

[RRockman]

Ooooh that's gotta hurt. I love Smash but dang Capcom got rekt. Hopefully they are included in the main tournament.

 

[Hyun Sai]

So when's the next charity to include SFV in the line-up ? Mr Wizard is really sloppy on this.

This isn't too surprising. Smash 4's Japan scene is huge and it helps that the west has helped elevate many of it's top players. After the recent 2GGC Civil War event plenty of people are vying for a Japan Saga or West vs East event for the 2GG circuit.

Granted, the fact that SFV isn't represented at all is still baffling.
