Support NeoGAF

[Fancolors]

Some Pokken player is sitting on his $10k trap card, I can feel it.

You mean his parent's credit card?

 

[Neoxon]

Some for Marvel and KI as well. This is a matter of, if they do it I will do it. The last hour will be the most interesting.

This, though KI has fallen a bit too far behind the other two. Even if they have such a trump card, UMvC3 & Pokkén likely have trump cards waiting to be played, too (as you mentioned).

 

[Crayolan]

You mean his parent's credit card?

$10k from each parent.

I duno, I feel like donating just to cheer harada up

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Good to see MKXL is staying consistent at $135

 

[Regiruler]

has ARMS made a single dollar since day 1?

Not really.

Uncertainty limits the size of its donations, and then most of its supporters jumped to pokken.

 

[Neoxon]

Not really.

Uncertainty limits the size of its donations, and then most of its supporters jumped to pokken.

Speaking of, Pokkén is starting to close the gap between it & UMvC3.

 

[FSLink]

Had a dream that Pokken won.

C'mon Marvel you can do it.

 

[DrArchon]

It's a race between top three. KI is far from over. Max has yet to unleash the gates of hell. Max got people to donate 50k or whatever for that one stream he did. It's far from over if he's involved.

I'm pretty sure Max said on a Stream that he's not going to do something like that. Can't remember why, maybe because he didn't think it would be fair, I don't know.

 

[BronsonLee]

I am glad that ARMS failed.

 

[SargerusBR]

I am glad that ARMS failed.

So did Nidhogg

 

[emb]

Nidhogg has been getting some love. It was at 35 for a lot of days, but it went to 55 last time I checked, then 100 when I checked today. Unprecedented momentum.

 

[GinoFelino]

I am glad that ARMS failed.

Why? Did you play it?

 

[Fancolors]

Poor KI. Deserving to win and yet still eating dirt in the race.

 

[mrmickfran]

#deathtopokken

 

[GinoFelino]

Poor KI. Deserving to win and yet still eating dirt in the race.

At least it's not as embarassing as MK XL's showing. Downright painful.

 

[RocBase]

Is there a lot of crossover between the MK and Injustice communities?

 

[Max Knight]

Evo will more or less drop off the map for me with no KI, but Marvel would probably be my second choice if I cared. I don't like playing Marvel, and I think it's boring as hell to watch, but I think it deserves the spot more than most of the other choices just based on legacy.

 

[phaonaut]

Is there a lot of crossover between the MK and Injustice communities?

Probably higher than any other two game franchises.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I'm 99% sure that the KI community will donate a lot of money few hours before the end.

 

[RaySpencer]

Is there a lot of crossover between the MK and Injustice communities?

Yeah, SonicFox wins everything.

Haha.

 

[Dahbomb]

If it weren't for that one person donating 3k to Marvel, Pokken would be ahead right now.

 

[SargerusBR]

If it weren't for that one person donating 3k to Marvel, Pokken would be ahead right now.

Bless you random rich person

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Ewww. All those people donating better watch the fuck out of pokken because nobody was last Evo.

 

[BadWolf]

Thanks for admitting to your crime.

 

[Skilletor]

Why? Did you play it?

Nobody has. That's the point.

 

[SalvaPot]

I am glad that ARMS failed.

But is it really EVO without ARMS?

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Nobody has. That's the point.

Yeah I don't know why people want to watch a game that will have horrible competition because nobody will have had time to get skilled at it. Why would you want to just watch people flail around stupidly because they've had no time with the game. That's assuming Arms isn't straight out delayed.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Why? Did you play it?

The fact that no one has played it is the exact point.

The game doesn't even have a release date.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Look I don't think Injustice 2 or the last few NRS games should be in the lineup before they're even released either

 

[SapientWolf]

I'm 99% sure that the KI community will donate a lot of money few hours before the end.

Shhh...

 

[Kebiinu]

I honestly believe Pokken can do it y'all. Empty your pockets in the name of Marvel!

 

[papertoonz]

Pokken is at 14k now

 

[secretanchitman]

Pokken is at 14k now

What the fuck? Please Marvel 3, I hope it edges every other game out with less than a week to go, but it is anyones call at this point.

 

[GinoFelino]

I know it's not exactly the same thing because most base mechanics carry over, but barely anyone has played Injustice 2 or Rev 2 either. The new characters for those games will have to be learned in a short period of time too.

I assume(d) the ARMS nomination means plenty of lead-in time for players to get acquainted with the game before EVO starts.

The only people shocked by how good pokken is doing are people that don't play pokken and understand how good it really is

Well said, even if i'm not sure BandaiNamco has futur plans for this franchise.

 

[King Kye]

Thanks for admitting to your crime.

Ha!

Whoever that was better be attending the damn tournament.

I don't love any game being included before they're released. So if you're trying to get me to say Injustice 2 or Rev 2 should have been replaced, you won't get a huge argument from me.

But as you said, at least they have some kind of shitty justification by virtue of being successors. ARMS is completely new, literally does not have a release date and no one knows what it'll look like in a competitive scene.

 

[King Kye]

Rev 2 is not even close to being equivalent to I2, ARMS, and Ninhogg or whatever in that regard.

 

[Johannsson]

WINDJAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I was just pointing out how it's become normal to have unreleased games listed for EVO. It's a big part of marketing new fighters now.

Rev 2 is not even close to being equivalent to I2, ARMS, and Ninhogg or whatever in that regard.

Okay.

 

[Regiruler]

Nobody has. That's the point.

That's what makes it desirable. I love how people adapt to blind games.

 

[Dahbomb]

6 days left, Marvel 3 at 16k, Pokken at 14k and KI at 5k.

Virtually neck and neck between Marvel 3 and Pokken. The bump that happens in the last day is probably the most important.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

OK well marvel is a really bad game and it's also doing well.

How good the game is doesn't really affect it imo

Why we need Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 this year

All this history, all these stories that have come and are yet to come from the Marvel vs. Capcom series, are not the only reason however why Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 needs to return to Evo. There’s another, just as important reason for it. As stated above, the series is the “soul” of Evo, and this is because of how it represents the undying grassroots spirit of the community.

Get outta here with that nonsense. Marvel doesn't deserve anything just because it's always been there. Every game has stories, it's nothing unique to MvC3. Worest still is to imply that a Capcom developed fighting game had to struggle to be noticed and find an audience. It's laughable compared to the treatment pretty much every other game in the ballot gets by the wider FGC. And to imply that the game "deserves" a send off at the expense of breathing life into a game or even giving it a moment in the spotlight is disrespectful to those communities.

Then why should anyone vote for Marvel? Because someone wrote an article about how the game has always been there?

I played it at Genesis a couple weeks ago

It doesn't seem like it would be a very good competitive game tho
