P4U2 and UNIEL scenes are roughly the same in US numbers just at different places and tourneys. It'll be different with the US release, maybe. But Persona is much bigger than UNIEL in Japan.
This is gonna be one hell of an EVO.
RIP in McRibs
It wouldn't also surprise me if the Evo staff thought P4AU community was significantly bigger than UNIEL in the US, even though that really isn't the case. From my experience, their knowledge of non-Capcom communities can be... inconsistent.
Frankly, I think Japan's playerbase should be a tertiary concern, at best. It's cool to have international players, but the vast majority of players at the event are from the US. If we're going that route, then they should have added Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax instead.

And hopefully Wiz figures out a way to get commentary piped into the ballroom. I know it's on his list of improvements.

DFC wouldn't get international players. They'd all be cooped up in their rooms with their waifus.

Honestly I would have preferred UNIEL over Ultimax but if they're close in representation I guess it makes sense to push the stronger IP with a company that's probably more capable of putting out support for it.
I think Japan would have come in and collected money over either game though.
Wafuus.

As a spectator? No?
Likewise, I hope to see Yams there just to see what the face of manga looks like....but Q especially = v=
God I hope life doesn't throw me a curveball before EVO.

Sad to see Injustice go. Would have been nice to have one more year and to play two games again.
But I'll take only MKX. Kitana top 8

You better do good, you're the only GAFfer that'll get a Top 8!

You already have the bonus dev advantage. Go for gold!
Of course. :x
And Melty, and Arcana, and DBFC, and Aquapazza, and Chaos Code, and HnK, and Sengoku Hime, Phantom Breaker, and EFZ, and Angel Eyes, and... well, all the classics. Plus a whole bunch of games nobody asked for.
No, I don't play all of these... not like I'm any good in anything, anyway. D:

BAN THE TESTERS!!!
/s
Mark Man with the setup from few days ago, lol:
This is much better than just doing a T7 exhibition, but I really hope Namco fly a lot of Japanese and Korean players to EVO, I don't want to see day 1 tech in top 8. ;p

If I can actually make it again this year you better not forget to tell me where you guys are damnit >:V
I want to say that I wiill go, but my situation is different this year so it's harder :/
Still, assuming I can make it, I'd enter Xrd and Smash 4. Marvel is maybe since there should still be people that aren't too good entering, but Persona 4 tournaments have traumatized me enough already...

I know you weren't serious, but I have a hard time imagining competitive level Fighting Climax.

For sure, sorry if I missed you or anyone else last year
I'd love to do another Thursday night session in my room this year, but I'll see.
Registration numbers are going to be massive judging by the fact they've been growing every year. SF4 was 1.6k in 2013 and almost 2k in 2014. This year after showing off dat e-sports money for SF5 and Capcom Cup bringing in over 90k viewers at peak internationally I predict 2.2k will be broken quite easily. Melee went from 700 in 2013 to almost 1k in 2014. It will probably bring in as many players as Apex if not more. The only game that might see a slight decline is Marvel. With all those new games like Smash 4, Tekken, and GG I don't know how they're going to have room to do anything in there! Best of luck to the staff. I don't envy them. lmao

Whelp was thinking about EVO but we are going to save up for a trip to Japan lol. My daughter said that's where ramen is made.
The big boost will come in next year with SF5. That's when I think Evo will have to become 4 days, or they're going to have to cut games. Not bothering with Evo this year, next year's a possibility depending on finances.

i might go... if I do I might have a room if my friends don't want to crash along as well
lol rhapsody, everyone would be too pure to understand the glory of prison school.
hana is still the best girl.
i might do this and borrow some money... I believe a while back someone did the math for me and it rounded about $2000, if memory serves me right, to comfortably attend EVO. That is some money right there...

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Poor UNIEL
