Dat backstab to GG rev2, so much love poured into that game but no one will give it a chance.

Sunday schedule was made before Rev 2 was even announced. The line ups for each day we're settled in January.
Edit: what the post above me said.

Good to see Marvel 3 on Sunday again.
I would prefer to see BB, T7, Smash 4, Marvel 3, and then SFV but the current schedule works too.

This puts me in a bind because Melee was always where I took a break. Have no idea when I'm going to do that this year.

With an ever-growing number of AAA fighting games having some shoved to Saturday was inevitable. Hope they end up giving Saturday games the same care and attention Sunday games normally would have.
People need to know what games are on Sunday before they buy their Mandalay Bay tickets.

If Saturday finals get played in the big arena, I kinda wish Marvel had gotten a later Saturday time slot. Oh well, will watch anyways. It's my highlight so I'll probably call it a wrap there and catch the rest on YouTube later.

Gonna be a fantastic day of fighting games. Is it 8am est or pst?
I will say that the line up is awful from a practical perspective.
BlazBlue should be a Saturday game, and not for prestige or anything, but it just makes sense practically.
Smash 4 was inexplicably a Saturday game last year with over 2000 entrants. So when finals rolled around you had the entire scene there, plus people watching Street Fighter bracket to the right and, like, KI or something on the left, all splitting a couple hundred chairs, everyone else tries to cram together on the hard floor. It sucked. But if you put something like BlazBlue in that situation, with only 500 entrants, things get a lot more tolerable.
There's no reason Inj 2,Melee, or GG, shouldn't have that spot just from a common sense perspective.

LOL. That's a good one.
I somehow managed to get a seat near the front of the rows that gave me a good view of all of the screens >_>. It still seemed like it sucked though. Crowding around the CRTs for Melee was kinda ass, though at the same time I felt like I was apart of something and felt special.

Can't we all just agree they're both great games :/ GG had the Sunday slot last year, I think it's fair to give BB a chance, especially since it was absent last year. Just like how Smash 4 and Melee traded places this year.
Smash 4 meta has gone a long way and is mostly offensive, and the more defensive chars at least have interesting tools (Villager, Mega Man, Duck Hunt, Olimar). Should be a great EVO!

You guys are so obsessed with whether a game is on sunday or not, but straight up, I'm not interested in waking up at the ass crack of dawn to watch Xrd, I'd rather watch it at primetime on Saturday.
Maybe they rather be the closer on Saturday instead of midday Sunday.

Hope Tekken is in a good slot for UK time. I wanna see good play now the game is in everyone's hands!
I wonder why BBCF would be on Sunday instead? Hmm... well, they used Evo to announce Dizzy for free and a balance update release that day when Rev was on a Sunday. BBCF hasn't been touched in a very long time. What reason could they possibly have to put it on Sunday? Could it be another announcement? Naaaah, couldn't be.
You are no fighting game.

It has more hype finals historically
I like the lineup because I can watch what I want and end the night early on Sunday.
It was announced in January that they were swapping Xrd/Melee for BlazBlue/Smash 4 and the vote in game would be first for Sunday.
They better stream this because these matches are better than the top 8.
The decision was made way ahead of time and before Rev 2 was announced. Plus people have been saying for years that BB had one of the best finals at EVO, so I don't get the hate now for it.

This is the "final" Blazblue game (the team is working on new things now), so I guess they wanted it to go out with a bang. That and maybe there's a special BB announcement like they had with Xrd last year, so they want to reveal it on the main stage this year.
The amount of hate BB gets is weird. It's really evolved since it's first iteration and was responsible for one of the best EVO moments in recent memory.
Maybe ASW's request, Xrd have been there for two years, so they'd like to give BB a chance.

Pretty much, we only get one Smash sleep break on sunday anyway.
BB was way, way more fun to watch last year than Xrd so this is fine by me
