Support NeoGAF

[udivision]

Wow, there's a lot of potential for controversy here.

I'm calling it, people going to be up in arms over the results.

 

[RecRoulette]

Didn't Fighting is Magic win one of these spots once? I'd place my bets on whichever game has the most fervent fanbase, regardless of whether they may/may not care about it competitively.

Man, the whole Melee revolution might not have happened if Fighting is Magic ended up going to Evo. What a weird timeline that would've been.

 

[JCX]

ARMS? It looks fun and all, but do we even know if it is viable yet?

 

[WarRock]

Real donations haven't even started yet no one has donated 10k - 20k yet.

Maximum donation per person is 10k.

 

[Neoxon]

Fuck you evo for making me choose between pokken and arms, and having them both go up against marvel.

Kneel before Mahvel

Maximum donation per person is 10k.

Dammit!

 

[Mass Effect]

No it isn't

If KI doesn't win the vote it's not in.

KI is only in if it wins this

Oh... they haven't updated the graphic on their site. It's still showing last year's.

huh, I thought Microsoft sponsorship money would have kept it in.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

It's gonna be a shitty launch-era game and people are gonna be real regretful if it wins

You know and I know that doesn't actually matter. People are gonna have two weeks to vote with their wallet and this option is the most "fun" one.

Whether the game is actually worth it doesn't even matter.

Motherfuckers kickstarted a potato salad once.

All that has to happen is someone makes "PUT ARMS IN EVO" a thing on social media and people will kick in so long as the story is presented to them in a way that makes them part of the joke.

IIRC it got close or was leading but was pulled because Hasbro wasn't having any of that

Them's Fightin' Herds for EVO 2018 though

Heh

 

[plasmawave]

Arms eh?

 

[Alchemist]

just make sure KI doesn't win guys


or arms

Pokken too

 

[Toxi]

I expect the standard EVO entries (KI, Marvel, MK) will take the lead for now but after a few days the more casual crowd outside the FGC will start to catch on and support for stuff like Pokken, ARMS, and Skullgirls will jump up by a lot.

About that...

 

[Makki]

If its between KI or Marvel I pray that Marvel blows it out. Doesnt Marvel get tons of participants? Nowhere near Melee, but old games shouldnt get a break from EVO and require a donation to be slotted if this is how it goes down.

 

[Loona]

Already put my money on Windjammers, you should too!

marvel is a shit game to play and an even shittier game to watch

 

[Emperor Bohe]

As much as I want Super Turbo, Killer Instinct deserves that last spot

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Is Player's Choice the name of the non-profit organization?

A bit off topic, but it's pretty damn surreal to see Bobby post in the gaming boards.

I totally forgot this game still existed

 

[trixx]

Probably skull girls or killer instinct for me. Seems like most appealing to watch. Got tired of watching mvc

 

[WarRock]

I totally forgot this game still existed

Well, technically it doesn't yet.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I pop in every now and again!

I spent my first couple months here basically hanging out in fighting game tourney threads

Why are you on Gaming side?

Hehe

 

[Crayolan]

About that...

RIP MK, you had a good run.

Not really, no. It was 6th or 7th for # of participants last year.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

It ran out of stamina

While this is true, every time this poll has happened the troll candidate never has a real shot at it. Just doesn't have the juice.

Also Arms is fucking stupid and if Nintendo wanted it in it would've been in already

A bit off topic, but it's pretty damn surreal to see Bobby post in the gaming boards.

He still needs to fucking play me in SFV

 

[AmethystEnd]

Not allowed!

Spoiler

No, but seriously where is Catherine?

Seriously, Dacidbro is probably legit offended right now.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

You kids trying to paint me in shades of Buscemi or something.

He still needs to fucking play me in SFV

I'm on right now.

 

[SargerusBR]

He still needs to fucking play me in SFV

Would pay good money to see that

 

[GeoNeo]

DONATED FOR MARVEL.

Not really, no. It was 6th or 7th for # of participants last year.

It was 6th.

Street Fighter V: 5065
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 2637
Super Smash Bros. Melee: 2350
Pokkén Tournament: 1165
Guilty Gear Xrd: 903
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3: 770
Mortal Kombat X: 707
Tekken 7: 543
Killer Instinct: 540

 

[Regiruler]

I want pokken to win, simply to remind namco that IT EXISTS GOD FUCKING DAMN IT

 

[BY2K]

Yeah no, ARMS' done.

 

[ScOULaris]

You god damned motherfuckers had all better donate toward Killer Instinct. It's the best fighting game on the market right now, and I'll be livid if it's excluded from EVO.

Blazblue is in over KI and MKXL? The fuck?

 

[BronsonLee]

You kids trying to paint me in shades of Buscemi or something.

I'm on right now.

Yeah but I'm not

(I actually don't know what your PSN is tbh)

DONATE TO NIDHOGG

 

[trixx]

marvel is a shit game to play and an even shittier game to watch

I think it's alright to play but I can't watch marvel 3 anymore. Can't wait for the new one though.

Anyways street fighter, smash, tekken would be a good watch

 

[Busaiku]

Seriously, Dacidbro is probably legit offended right now.

He's got BlazBlue though.

 

[Salty Hippo]

When do donations end? On the phone right now and not seeing a deadline on the site.

 

[Sydle]

Two weeks

 

[Wallach]

February 8th IIRC.

 

[Nightmare452]

Really hope KI wins. Watching a competitive season 3 EVO turney would be legendary, and its a great game with awesome characters to boot.

Might chip in once voting is near the end. Sadly, MVC is no longer interesting to watch, to many odd matches where a character never even gets to participate cause of a multi ulti bs combo.

 

[Dystify]

When do donations end? On the phone right now and not seeing a deadline on the site.

I don't have the exact time, but it's in 2 weeks.

If anybody has the exact time, I'd like to put it in the OP.

 

[shingi70]

I'm conflicted over donating for KI or Pokken games I actually like and play, or going for the lols and picking arms.

 

[GeoNeo]

marvel is a shit game to play and an even shittier game to watch

Fuck off.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Yeah but I'm not

(I actually don't know what your PSN is tbh)

Im on PC. We've already battled once. Your old invite is still in my inbox.

BUT STAY DUCKING ME ELF ITS A GOOD LOOK

 

[Gleethor]

Awww MK. I guess we have Injustice 2.

 

[massoluk]

It is for charity, so I'll probably bump ARMS when I get home from work

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I'm conflicted over donating for KI or Pokken games I actually like and play, or going for the lols and picking arms.

Funny those were my thoughts for a bit since those two are the games other than ARMS on that list I would vote for.

Since they were already at EVO and this is a chance for a motion game to be at it I'll do ARMS.

 

[Renekton]

Don't tell us, vote with thy wallet 😀

 

[a Master Ninja]

I'm just happy to see so much money going to a good cause.



That good cause being Killer Instinct.
