so, what is your opinion on this years EVO lineup?

9c1854 No.16039

I really only care about Xrd and Melee. Sucks there's no PM, but oh well.


ecd21d No.16040

I'm sad KOF didn't make it. I enjoy watching that.

>USF4.

Its kind of meh but I'll still watch the tourney's because there can be some legitimately interesting moments to watch in this game.

>UMvC3

Not that interested really.

>Smash 4.

I don't really like Smash although seeing some of the Melee tournaments, it did interest me for a bit so I will look forward to watching it.

>GGXrd.

Not really looking forward to it.

>Killer Instinct.

Didn't really like it that much.

>Mortal Kombat X.

Not my thing.

>P4 Arena.

Despite not playing the game much, it actually looks very fun to spectate. Its something I will enjoy quite a bit since I've missed it before.

>Xrd instead of Accent Core Plus R

EVO confirmed for cancerous fucking shit.


8bc66f No.16056

I'll watch MKX and P4, everything else doesn't interest me.

Last I heard a bigger streams that normally cover it are beginning to drop it due to potential legal trouble. It's weird since nobody's cared for a while and then all of a sudden people suddenly don't want to or can't stream it. Nintendo has to be going around giving warnings or something, and with the release of Smash 4 it sounds likely.

>Smash 4

If you took interest from watching Melee I'll just say now that Smash 4 isn't really fun to watch. It's a good game, great even, but it's mired by a strong focus on defensive play to the point where matches can drag on and on.


40be9c No.16060

>>16058

I see. That's quite unfortunate because I enjoyed watching Melee's fast offensive based battles a lot more since they were quite interesting to watch and they had a lot of really good comebacks as well.


079a1f No.16068

>>16060

melee is like the SF turbo of the smash series.


40be9c No.16075

>>16068

Really? I found it to be more of the 3rd Strike of the series.


1eff5f No.16080

The only time I ever watched evo was the year soul calibur 5 was in, was some pretty cool shit. I never got into any other fighters though.

>USF4

Street Fighter is Street Fighter. I love watching it often and playing it often as well.

>UMvC3

Literally Dr. Doom, Vergil, and Zero.

also

>No Amingo

>No Thanos

Pls go

>Smash 4

I love playing Smash 4 but hate watching it. It's like Baseball.

>Melee

I hate playing Melee but love watching it.

It's like football.

>GGXrd

Still waiting for next year's edition with more characters

>Killer Instinct

NOW THIS I CAN GET BEHIND

>MKX

Seems like a less-serious piece of the FGC. All about stylin' on eachother with fatalities and such. I'm excited.

>P4Arena Ultimax

I love Persona, and I love playing P4AU even more, but it did NOT deserve to take Blazblue's spot.

Smash 4 is like the SF4 of the series. It's very defensive and very much created for slower play and less emphasis on combos and reaction time. Melee is the Third-Strike, loved by many of fans for it's unique style and gameplay to it. Melee is incredibly fast while Smash 4 is incredibly slow.


8ba210 No.16169

I'm coming at this from the standpoint of someone who plays fighting games exclusively casually and only tunes in to watch Evo (not any other tournaments).

>USF4

It's alright. It couldn't not be there and I like seeing what's going on with top tier players.

>UMvC3

I know having Marvel is a tradition and all, but I hate the fucking game. Bring back MvC2 or dump this shit, I don't care which.

>Smash 4

I'm interested to see what the top players are using, doing, etc.

>Melee

Gotta keep the tourneycrabs happy somehow. The Smash community would fucking riot if 4 was there and Melee (or Project M, but legal issues) isn't. I think Melee is an alright spectacle, but it's competitively stale as fuck. I'll tune in until we're down to space animals, Marths, and sheiks.

>Guilty Gear Xrd

Anime fighters aren't my thing. Won't be tuning in for this one.

>Killer Instinct

Cool, I guess. Should be interesting to see how played the new characters are.

>Mortal Kombat X

I'm always interested in seeing what the best players are going to be doing in a game that came out so recently. Mortal Kombat is cool in general and the style system seems like it will probably allow for some pretty interesting match-ups.

>Persona 4 Arena Ultimax

I'd watch if an Akihiko main could do well. I seriously doubt that will be the case, so I don't give a fuck.

>No King of Fighters XIII

Fucking gay. That was the best last year.

I also miss 3D fighters in general.

The main stage is the least interesting, par for the course

Going to be watching side tournament streams 99% of the time just like the last few years

Adding Smash to the lineup added nothing of value to the FGC. A popularity bump and ad revenue for EVO is nice but I wish it hadn't happened.


69602e No.16178

As a player that is reletibly casual in the fighting scene, liking Smash, playing all of the but Melee (Never have, hard to find a copy now days), and the only Street Fighter I like is the 3DS one because ease of use and stuff, If I watch it will be a final for Smash 4 and maybe Melee


4823cc No.16780

I'll probably only watch USF4, the only other fighting games I play are Blazblue, Arcana Heart, Skullgirls, and 3rd Strike.


b2a704 No.16786

Probably the weakest lineup for EVO ever.

I'll watch mainly the side tournaments for KOF and Skullgirls.


ed412b No.16842

>>16049

+R had a side stream last year. It probably will again this year.


528ab9 No.16880

Melee will be great like always. Really fast game, really cool tech, low variety in skill between top players, they're all contenders, really exciting in general.


f005fa No.16889

>>16786

Someone wasn't around for the lean years like 2004 and 2005 where Mario Kart DS was an official tournament.
