EVO 2017 Player's Choice Game - [Ended] UMVC3 wins #SometimesEvilWins

There has always been a SF and Marvel game at EVO though.

EVO was kinda built on the foundation of the big fighting games at the time particularly Capcom games. ST, CVS2 and Marvel 2 were at the first ever EVO.

So there is always going to be natural bias towards those games. You KNOW if there's a new CvS on the way then people would want that game on EVO no matter how good/bad it is or how many entrants it has been getting over the year.

So there needs to be a new cvs for evo to continue this tradition?

It's dumb. Evo runs the same franchises so I can eventually use this with anything. Like in 2027 will I be able to say "Evo has always had 2 smash games" and no one can say anything?

I think KOF generally fills that role or tries to for CvS. KoF definitely has gotten some preferential treatment in the past despite not having the numbers to back it up. It's obviously not the same but I think Wiz wants to have SOME SNK representation in there which is fine. Gets some Latin American reps in there too.

Honestly speaking if Capcom didn't have the CPT and insane backing on SFV... SFV might have been dropped from the roster in a few years. Imagine if Vanilla SF4 was left unpatched, would have been dropped. I don't think there is any sacred cow anymore if a game fails to produce the numbers. There is obviously bias and preferential treatment but I do believe that MrWiz would not put a SF game on there if he there's no support for the game and it cannot fill a 128 bracket. There are people who play SF no matter what just like there are people who play Marvel no matter what.
 
Lol wait are people still all riled up about KBR's comment? All I can see is him telling another person that justin can afford to drop 2k on the donation drive.
 
At the end of the day, this is a donation drive to help children. Who gives a shit if Wong gets some exposure for dropping cash on it? In fact, him doing so was a better option for the results since his name was attached to it. That shows the people on the outside that the community leaders are willing to support their game, and more importantly, donate to a good cause. That's a good look for everyone, and KBR is trying to pull into question Justin's intentions when it really doesn't matter.

Like, it's a donation drive for kids. The same thing wit hDaigo donation. There's no reason to deflate the actions that are helping those in need because the donator may or may not be doing this in benefit of themselves in addition to assisting others. That's just petty.

Rick's response on this is better than I put it:

It's just childish to debate intentions and how some could profit from it when the real message should be about how others are helped by the cause.

What Rick says about it being a huge call to action is very true and I wholeheartedly agree with it but here's the rub, that call to action wasn't about the charity but about Marvel getting it Evo. You even said it yourself in your post. Justin's intentions are clear in this situation. He wanted to Marvel to get into Evo so he put up for it. It just happens that it went to good cause. So to me, it's not relevant to what KBR says in that thread.

KBR didn't even call out Justin, say doing what he did was wrong, or minimize what he did. He stated his opinion on charity after the fact but that's about it. It was Justin that jumped on him for his comment and that comment is a matter of fact. People just ignore the context of the conversation and construe it however they wish.

Lol wait are people still all riled up about KBR's comment? All I can see is him telling another person that justin can afford to drop 2k on the donation drive.

Pretty much. The thread is about celebrating Marvel winning and the dude posted a cutout of Justin's donation. KBR comments he makes enough to drop that then Justin goes into rage mode.
 
Aaaand of course, in true Marvel fashion, there's some drama going on lol.

But I agree with Shouta, people making a bigger deal out of the KBR thing than there needs to be. I would hardly even call what he said talking shit considering how he was treated when he won EVO.

Perfect usage.

Yeah this is about the only use of this gif/meme which genuinely made me laugh.
 
It's all about context. KBR saying stuff to/about people who are considered super popular and with the reputation he has. It wouldn't be much of a deal if some random no name person said it but it's KBR.

Yeah, the dichotomy is both hilarious and frustrating.

Definitely. No one's gonna call out Justin for blowing up without asking what he meant because he's Justin. He's the real golden boy of the FGC. Sorry, Neo. =P I mean, KBR wasn't helping with the way he responded and that's on him but no one is gonna bother to look at what actually happened because it's KBR and Justin.
 
Who is this?

Marve 3 had the perfect ending last year with Chris G winning and being the final EVO champion, the one thing he couldn't get. Now people wanna take that away from him.

Y'all marvel minions are selfish.
we need a japanese marvel player to win so american umvc3 players have to hold that L forever.
 
Why would I feel better about people talking about their Inferior c-roaless video game ��

Because it helps you to feel included. Imagine coming here talking that shit before anyone had even mentioned Melty Blood. That would have been awkward.
 
shoutouts to the poeple that donated 150k is absolutely insane and beautiful.

Congrats to marvel fans and major shouts to pokken fanbase too. Can't believe there's so many pokken fans from wii u console. Insane how many people have become fans of that game big up
I don't even have pokken but now i feel like purchasing just to see whats up with that game, crazy.

Also how are ya'll so rich?

Do I need the validation of a neogaf thread when Discord and Georgia scene does it justice though? 🤔
