People need to stop treating fighting games like its rocket science cause it really isn't.
What do you mean
It will depend on whether the community accepts SF5, and how stubborn SF4 players are. I could see a Smash Melee/Smash 4 thing develop potentially if SF5 has some questionable decisions in the end. It won't be hard for SF4 folks to keep their game alive- it will be on PS4 and PC.
Even if Evo dumps them, other majors won't.
If EVO doesn't expand to four days, I could see # of games being dropped to 6 or even 5. You can't run through a 4000-man, and 4-5 2000-man brackets easily.
SF5, MKX, Tekken 7 (that will prob only draw 1k) , GG (is major now), Smash 4 (nintendo won't fund Melee?), community choice?
He actually was cheering for SonicFox, I guess he stopped being difficult and admitted he needed to train harder.
Wonder if Razer told him to knock it off.

My thing is just play the damn game. You don't realize how much you learn just by playing it. Yea it can be a slow process but at the same time just do the shit. You don't have to sit there and fucking over analyze the shit to enjoy it. You don't need to have an extensive knowledge of the frames or combos to enjoy the game at a damn casual level.
Marvel needs to be 400 players going forward to be at EVO (assuming they keep the same criteria as this year's). Going by the decay it has been going through, it has 3 more years until we go below that number.
I think what will keep Marvel getting played is more international presence. The international play has been getting more and more prominent every year which may play into it. With KBR winning it might motivate more internationals to attempt representation of their country.
Another factor to consider is that the aren't many new fighting games on the horizon outside of SFV. GGXrd, Smash 4 and MKX were all new games that just came out but next year they will be "old" games like KI. Will they carry the same hype/numbers as they did this year? That remains to be seen of course.
I really wouldn't be surprised if next year's EVO line up is the same as this year's with them switching up Persona with the new BB version + SFV. Maybe one of the Smash gets retired, maybe USF4 gets retired, maybe KI gets retired.
You have to be kidding me if you think T7 is going to be getting 1K entrants next year.Alstein said:
That's a pretty cool sync
Didn't T7 only got like 400 this year too, and that's including all the people who signed up just to try the game out?

im afraid to play yams now. But thankfully he ducked the entire time he called me out when I accepted.
I made a thread:
http://www.capcom-unity.com/street_...treet-fighter-v-needs-a-two-button-dash?sdb=1
I main Firebrand/Dormammu/Shuma-Gorath in Marvel. I have played thousands of matches double tapping in Marvel. I also play Street Fighter and Guilty Gear, and I have grinded the input. It is just hard for my muscles when I am double tapping to the right. The inward muscle motion feels awkward for me. If I am double tapping to the left, it isn't a problem. It's not an issue with muscle memory. I am 30 and have been playing since SFII. It's a physical limitation that I struggle with.
Not a big deal for you, but it is for me and Biz, and Apologyman has trouble with it despite thousands of hours of play with his main Marvel team.
If a Cody player wants to hold a punch button down for a special, that player can still double tap to dash. I agree that 2-button dashes are better and faster than double tapping.
My inputs are fantastic overall. I mained Morrigan for a year of Marvel - I can Soul Fist with the best of them.
You got a source on that? This is news to me.
Apology man straight up said he doesnt practice on one side of the screen. That's his fault.
I just find it really weird to me that people that wavedash complain about double tapping to dash. One is clearly way harder than the other and it's not double tapping.
Also Wizard said it at the last Capcom Pro Talk. It's around the beginning of his interview with Mike Ross.
He always does this even though I beat him overall in our sets by at least double every time. Yams can think he beats me in spirit tho ;p
You don't want to play his Rolento. You would just quit SF4 forever.
das what you think

Whoa there, EVO's player attendance isn't going to just double by next year. I think SFV has a chance of hitting 3k riding off USF4's momentum along with it brand spanking shiny and new. Both's Smash's might hit 2k, if they don't it will probably be close. If USF4 is back, I think it suffers a sharp drop to the 1200-1500 range. Besides that I think every other tournament has less than 1,000. So yeah, I do think GGXrd and MKX fail to reach it next year, but barely. Tekken 7 isn't coming close to 1k, although I think it does do better than this year.

if evo keeps getting bigger, move to a convention hall.
A convention hall can cover
1) more entrants
2) more spectators
3) more booths
4) more stable internet
and still maintain the 3 days so that it doesn't put a big hamper on people's worklife. The only downside to a convention hall is
1) location
2) cost
I know the LACC is hurting for an annual convention. They lost a lot of business to anaheim and san diego

Yeah but the Vegas convention centre is off the strip. It's right next door to last years hotel.

doesn't have to be vegas. But I do understand the convenience that vegas brings
I'd be ok with it being in Cali, but I think the numbers would decline a bit. Vegas is a big reason to go to EVO
This is such a weird criticism. Some people in a thread about fighting games want to deconstruct gameplay so they can get better, which increases their enjoyment of the game. Go figure.

Man GAF must be free if people are losing to BakedYams

kappa?
I felt like that for a while, but when I sat down and learned my characters more I ended up doing better than just flayling around. If you learn certain moves are safe, etc, you change your play style to accommodate that.

I honestly wonder, if EVO and fighting game companies step it up and turn it to a fighting game convention, how would it do.
Like Atlus, Aksys, Arcsys, capcom, Namco bandai, Sony, MS, Nintendo etc etc all these booths.
How would it do? I think it could easily pull in a good 15k if done right. Huge side tournaments and BYOC, and all that jazz. Panels and everything.
I think an arena would be a good choice.
I'm your friendly neighborhood rolento player. I mean no harm!
I see I've scarred you.
I got you this weekend.
If I could play you, I would. Ryu is free as fuck to me.
I would body his garbage Zangief all day but Rolento online is simply BS. It's hard enough trying to anti air his pogo stick offline, online it's damn near impossible.
Garbage gief? My footsies leveled up homie
I gotta play your Gief and Cammy more.
Edit:
I'll calm down Tok, just for you.
