EVO 2017 Player's Choice Game - [Ended] UMVC3 wins #SometimesEvilWins
- Thread starter Dystify
- Start date
I have a weird feeling that a surge of ARMS donations will come throughout the next few weeks. Pokkén actually keeping up with UMvC3 is rather surprising (though going off of the number of doners, Pokémon fans have deep pockets, which I hope will benefit them if Pokémon Stars ends up Switch-only), as much as KI falling off a little this soon.
But seriously, don't give up, Mahvel fans. We need this win.

You must have seen the money Pokemon Go is making. That community is far reaching and has many whales.
I hope Pokken wins. Will be putting my money in soon for it. I really like the game and if we can't get Tekken 7 on the Switch then I hope this gets ported with the newer content. I need to make more time to play the Wii U game. I enjoy watching as well. So it's really nice to see it so high at the moment.
If it came down to KI or UMvC3 then my money would go toward KI. Haven't played it since it was on the SNES and N64 but I still enjoy watching the newer version when people stream it and would pick it up if I ever get a Xbox One. I can not at all follow what is taking place on screen with MvC. There is so much crap on screen that it's sensory overload and the commentators are never helpful in explaining what the hell is actually taking place. I've tried to follow along the last several Evo and it has never changed. So no I do not what that to see that game ever again. Maybe Infinite will be different with there just being two characters per player but I'm not holding out much hope.
Would like to see ARMS but will gladly take Pokken or KI. Just no UMvC3.

I wish the donation drive either lasted a LOT longer or was done later. Arms doesn't have a chance when 99% of potential supporters haven't had a chance to try it out. I get why it has to be now and can't last too long, but still.
I'd feel better about supporting Pokken if it was getting the new characters, because Scizor is objectively the best Pokemon.

Funny, because Persia is always explaining what's going on. She's great at commentating.

holy shit Pokken is winning
pokemon fanbase has some deep pockets

Yup, the fact that they're supporting their game despite The Pokémon Company & Bandai Namco jumping ship (on the Wii U, at least) should be commended. I'm actually starting to get worried for UMvC3.
But seriously, Pokémon fans, save your money for the Switch. You'll thank me later in a few months.
Relax, it's day 1 lol
Nothing is decided yet. Heck, Mortal Kombat could still win this (okay maybe not lol)
Sounds like a game that doesn't really have a good reason to be at EVO. At least with other games that were announced for EVO before they were released, you could have confidence there will even be a community for them due to the developer or franchise recognition. Money talks, though.

Love is truly over
True, that. Last donation ended with a total of like $255K so what we have now is peanuts.
I'd help you in your search, but I'm in class right now. Worst-case scenario, I can always make a new gif.Can't find the .gif at work unfortunately
I'm starting to agree with that. Even with Injustice 1 being a new IP at Evo you had the guarantee of the NRS community rallying behind it. No idea how many Nintendo fans will come out yet. I'd love to see it there just because it's so radically different from everything else on offer, but I can totally see why so many are hesitant about it.
At the very least it should have a sick side-tourney with the top 8 streamed on a side stream. I'll be happy if I get that much.
That's partly why I want it to win. Pushing it into evo could remind namco that people want the DLC.
The other factors for ARMS's uncertainty are...
- We don't know the control set-up for non-motion controls.
- We don't know how well the Switch is gonna sell.
- The Pro Controller is pretty damn expensive (not that much more compared to a new DualShock 4, but still pretty pricey).

lol, I think it's too late for WiiU but maybe the updated version will hit switch
KoF has a guaranteed spot already, which is enough of a rarity at EVO - Windjammers will have to count as the honorary SNK entry among the votable options, even if it's from Data East.
Too late for that, the Wii U is dead. Your best bet is an enhanced port on the Switch.
The game is only a year old.
Stop thinking in terms of the console. This narrative of yours is incredibly obnoxious.
You know what, fuck arms, lets go
POKKEN FOR EVO #Neverforget
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo somehow had a setup there to show off the game even if it doesn't make it.
I'm skeptical about the port ever making it in time for Evo and Tekken Team is pretty busy with T7, which just got delayed!
Pokémon fans pockets will be deep enough for both haha
It winning would be funny, thought the game had really fallen off lol
I'm not talking about a port.
There's a game.
Right there.
Less than a year old.
Shipped a million.
Was at EVO.
Yeah, it's one year old, and it's a shame that Pokkén is trapped on a dead system & was released on the tail-end of the system's life. It also doesn't help that it's not an established fighting game franchise like Smash is. It's part of the reason why Splatoon didn't catch on competitively worldwide, the Wii U is holding it back.
Either way, Pokkén needs a Switch port.

Max will stream KI and channel all his donations into the donation drive.
I was indirectly referring to the Eurogamer leak of the Switch-exclusive Pokémon Stars, more so given the Switch's current price tag.

Yup. If it happens, KI will be the 9th game.
The Windjammers dream is dead.

The ARMS donations are jokes right?

This I some bullshit, why is Marvel here? It finally got a port!
Nintendo's riding high on new IPs since Splatoon, especially with the Mario Kart 8 team being behind ARMS. That said, I've mentioned my concerns for ARMS's competitive potential a few posts back.

I find it odd KI has to be voted in. Would have thought that'd be a staple.
Windjammer could have that kind of support. Get the GB crew and Xavier Woods to do a stream for it.
Assuming he gets back to it in time. He's busy with Resident Evil 7 right now and the Injustice 2 beta just came out so he's likely going to mess around with that for a while.

To be fair, Marvel is more of a staple than KI. There's yet to be an EVO without a Marvel game.

Disney/ESPN would not approve
On this line of thinking, Ergheiz got robbed.
