Money for breast cancer wouldn't hurt either.

There's going to be tears and salt in a FG tournament regardless, adding in MLP is like throwing a bucket of water into an ocean.

Having an additional good game in the lineup.

Yeah, somehow I completely forgot that.
LOL throwing MLP or Smash in will be like the polar ice caps melting.

So that would make 3 good games?

Yeah, but that's not a fighting game. That must have been a side tourney or something.

Its not like its going to be on main stream for the whole event.
EVO had Mario Kart at one point. The precedent has been set!

EVO 2014- you decide the games this year because fuck it there's a lot of games, so pick a few good ones that you might like. For cancer research.

you sound bitter about DOA5 not being there.
Prior to 2013 EVO lineup announcement, people expected only 6 games and instead we got 7 confirmed games and a player choice.
And people still bitch about it? Holy shit.
I mean all the "duh" choices were chosen.
1) SF4
2) Marvel
3) Tekken
4) Anime
5) MK/Injustice
6) KOF

An entire EVO lineup decided by donations would actually be hilarious.

Do people actually care that much about Smash being played as a main game? Not stream monsters either, people who actually show up.

You don't want the fgc associated with something that is more or less a giant troll or at least a giant bandwagon that went way too far?
Which fgc have you been watching? MLP is perfect for EVO.

Divekick exists to fill that need

Yeah but Divekick was so last year.

It wouldn't really. Since A) Smash has been to Evo and B) Almost every game on the roster is considered a joke by some subsection in the FGC.
EVO 2K6 had guaranteed cash prizes for every game, I believe. I tried searching and can't remember, but I believe it was the year EVO was sponsored by some car company. Even with that, people still didn't show up or enter DoA4. I don't see why DoA5 would be any different. It would probably have more entrants than DoA4 by virtue of there being more people showing up to EVO now than years past, but that doesn't mean much for a game that had less than 100 entrants.
I'm salty at no SC5, but I get it. Still, I'm entering 4 games. That's going to be rough.
lol.Hoping for no 8am pools.

Indeed, priorities are changing a bit. I believe this is "esports" in a nutshell.
I just think EVO should hold all or as many as the most popular fighting games with dedicated scenes. The six or eight biggest competitive games are ones in the EVO main tournament, period. Maybe make a few exceptions for variety and games that might overlap too much (e.g. Don't have both Tekken 6 and TTT2, make sure to have at least one 3D fighting game). At the same time there should be as many side-tournaments as possible so everyone gets to play everything. However I don't like the influence of money is beginning to have. In this case, it is the organizers of EVO using the tournament for a noble cause at the expense of its integrity.

all games are "giving" money for breast cancer, not just MLP.
This is a terrible phrase, and my overactive imagination is bringing me horrors most unfathomable.
Old people can have fun too.
If it wins, it brings in the most money. You're the one saying it doesn't bring anything by winning.

MLP? Please, if they think that's going to piss off the EVO crowd, they're going about it all wrong.
Put all your money behind Brawl for the true upset vote.

i'm not talking about donations, i'm talking about EVO having MLP as a game, on the event. don't be dense on purpose.

I could see the clueless, impotent Sony execs making some big donation to try and further shoehorn PSASBR into the FGC, unfortunately.
But Melee deserves it.

Huh, didn't see that. Okay I concede.

it's all cool, friend
moving on, i won't donate because i'm unemployed right now, but if i could, VF5. the only real, pure honest fighting.
If there's one thing bronies are good at, it's chucking money at charities and flaunting their disposable income.
"Check out my new $200 stick!"
Welp. I do wish hed give us the current standings. Might make people want to donate more.

Well, fuck it. If it does make it in I just wont watch it. We already have a pretty good line up anyway.
Wasn't there a guy who dressed up as Deadpool and had a fightstick emblazoned with ponies?

Isn't MLP very similar to 3S?
Crossing the streams there.
I'm sure they've been crossed several times over by now. All we can do is revel in the madness. And revel I shall.

Having a pony game would be a bigger controversy. Need to stick with cat girls, giant robots and cute dogs to maintain that credibility
