Basically, outside SFV and Smash games, everything is fine! Also, SFV is still bigger than SFIV's EVO peak! r/kappa on suicide watch!!

What are the biggest non-CPT SFV events by entrant count in 2017?
Injustice did better than MKX, not bad.
Didn't they say that both will be guest characters 🤔

I haven't played SSB4 for a little over a year since I moved, so I wonder what prompted the lack of interest. My friends who still play tell me the top tiers are way too dominant and basically broke 2v2 beyond repair. It's very sad... SSB4 was actually quite balanced for a while after some post-launch nerfs and before the last batch of DLC. Also a bit sad about SFV, I do think it's a fantastic fighting game that just needs some rather crucial tweaks. To be honest, it's still my favourite fighting game at the moment.
Anyway I'm happy for Tekken! It's truly a superb game (possibly my GOTY), I hope it becomes more popular.

i don't think those evo numbers are cause for alarm. tekken looks great, everything else is a return to normal. here's hoping smash players find yet another reason to moan and complain and boycott so evo can go back to being a fighting game tournament next year.
Maybe then we'll be spared the rotting sewer corpse smell they bring with them 😷
Look at the FGC getting saved
Dat SFV drop. Didn't expect it to do as good as 2016, but I at least thought it would do 3k.

I remember she had a lot of normals that were whif cancellable into specials and command grabs. Was she a big deal at tournies?

Found the datamine stuff on facebook on KOF 14. Full list.
(Future Characters)
Oswald, Jubei Yamada, Heidern, Blue Mary, ??????, Shingo Yabuki, Hinako, ??????, ??????, ??????, Sissel.
Its Xkira though but it seems pretty legit so far. Provides steamdb links and such to where he datamined the info.

Works for me. The series is taking up two spots and one of them is such an old 3D game it makes my eyes hurt to watch. Melee and UMvC3 being on that list is ridiculous.

All these drops are good because it will reveal a sobering aspect. The fgc ain't esports and trying to accelerate towards it is daft and cynical.

The said DLCs are guest characters while returning characters will be free.

Whoa whoa whoa. Yo I've been waiting for Oswald to get in.
I meant mostly regarding the season pass characters.
Though yeah, they did mention that returning characters would be free. Doubt any of them can bring hype, though. Well...maybe Jinpachi can. Jinpachi is cool 😍

I'd imagine the people who kept saying "No Lei, no buy" and then bought the game anyway would be happy if he got added in.

Dont care. Been on night shifts and it wasn't posted here yet. Enjoy your sexy fighting game screenshots in community.
It's not realistic to expect EVO to drop either game when they still make up a large percentage of their numbers. I do get that Melee is a slog to run with the damn CRTs though.
Now not having both games on Sunday finals makes complete sense to me.

Has EVO historically kept games for entrant turn out? Seems at odds with this year's line up. where most of the list is games that were guaranteed to have low entrants.
Hori Fighting Commander. Doesn't have a touchpad but it's very solid.
I second this, but personally I wouldn't get the USA version. I have both JAP and USA version and find that the rotating D-pad on the FC4 doesn't quite lock in place, and after a few matches it needs adjusting.... the Japanese Hori FC is a tad smaller but doesn't have the gimmick D-pad so it never moves. Both are still a good choice for pad and not too expensive.
I don't know the exact politics of what gets a game into EVO, or how BB gets Sunday finals over GGxrd. There does appear to be a tradition of "thou shalt have 1 mainline SF and Marvel game on Sunday".
But looking at this spreadsheet from SRK, Smash (either game) has consistently been in the top 3 of number of entrants since 2013; it dethroned Marvel starting in 2015. You could make a case that there has to be at least 1 Smash game at EVO too...
So if 1 or both of those games gets shafted by EVO, I'm curious to see what games would fill their vacuum in terms of sheer numbers and presence.
Stinky Smash player joke goes here.
Or maybe EVO just decides to downsize and reduce the number of games it has?

Excited to see some Arika footage from Evo

Oswald is one of those rare characters where they just nail everything. It was so sad that he didn't make it into XIII due to time constraints.
I'd love to see Hinako back as well, always felt that she was a great concept that never got done proper justice.

What happened?
Doubles is actually the only thing SSB has over other fighters. The coordination needed and possible set ups are SSB at its best.

Not sure if you're talking about his 1st day commentary or his top 8 commentary. I'm fine with Marn if he's at least trying like he did during the top 8. But when he first jumped on during the first day all he was doing was just trolling. I don't think that's OK for a major or a CPT tournament like this was. It's fine for locals or salty suites, go ham if you want. But that was a serious tournament and the expectation is and should be different.
The way he commented top 8 though I was fine with. It wasn't very technical or informative. But at least it was an attempt at being semi serious, funny, and his reactions seemed more real than the fake overreactions from Friday night.
