What is it about fighting game Native American designs never wearing shirts or having unbuttoned vests?

 

[sqwarlock]

Better question here is, when was the last time EVO didn't give a truly new game a slot in the EVO following it's release? Skullgirls maybe, which is sort of a special case?

What made Skullgirls a special case?

 

[Papercuts]

Let's be honest

Even if Skullgirls got an actual spot, the moment they start playing it on stream the consoles would literally explode.

 

[DNAbro]

So is Thunder OP?

 

[Omega]

my avatar will win

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Cool Thunder.

 

[InsuRn]

I had to walk out before Blazblue and apparently missed something incredible- are the matches going to get posted anywhere afterwards?

In the Twitch archive (and YouTube for the best moments.)

 

[T.O.P]

1 sabrewulf is gonna go out

Everybody wins

 

[FluxWaveZ]

It's going to come down to each game's actual reception and tournament showing/strength, along with developer support. Plus as we saw with KOF, being a crowd favorite from the previous year(s) helps as well..

Unless Blazblue representation drops off like a rock naturally in the next half-year, there's no way it isn't coming back.

Yes, but this is assuming that reception for P4AU and its competitive showings are great, too. Today's BBCP showing was better than last year's P4A, but the latter's was pretty good, too. Maybe it's really just these intense BBCP matches that could make it return for Evo 2015, but I think it would be weird if P4AU wasn't a part of next year's list. Xrd seems like a given, and I don't know if they're accommodating enough to have three ASW games.

Shirts are so paleface.

 

[LiK]

Haha color battle

 

[T.O.P]

They could've at least unlocked all six on the console wtf

What made Skullgirls a special case?

Skullgirls was a mediocre game at first.. Limited characters and every combo was a ToD movie and were piss easy to do.. It wasn't even a real fighter then.. A poverty version of SF xT in terms of reception..

 

[shaunLEGEND]

lol shit is real when character color choices is mind games

 

[That Dude John]

early mind games lol

 

[howdyjacker]

i hope mygod wins. Justins playstyle doesn't lend itself to hype . Usually anyways.

 

[Seik]

I'm surprised to see Justin playing with a normal controller.

 

[88random]

To be fair, that version was hot garbage..

It was actually the best version of the game. And the most balanced.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

If Capcom ever makes a Next Gen Darkstalkers(yeah right) it probably would look like this game

If you got it, flaunt it

 

[enzo_gt]

It wasn't that long ago, Continuum Shift Extend didn't make it in 2012.

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown ?

Completely new, no updates.

What made Skullgirls a special case?

Digital, essentially indie release, super niche. Unlike retail games from established pubs, it's not guaranteed to pull sufficient numbers. It's like expecting Yatagarasu to get a slot next year.

No it wasn't

Two games would already be a long shot. The EVO staff is really convinced that there can be only one "anime game" (sigh) at a time.

 

[Duxxy3]

Justin not yolo enough.

 

[Takamura-San]

Why is Justin so free at this game...?

My salty bucks.

 

[iori9999]

Completely new, no updates.


.

Bingo.. BB CSEX was nothing more than a mediocre patch with one character addition.. Worst version of the game IMO..

 

[shaunLEGEND]

dang jwong could be out?

 

[T.O.P]

Dafuq is happening to justin

Should we tell them that Street Fighter is an anime game?


I would love if all three ArcSys games were there. They are just so much fun to watch.

Wait, is SG better now?

[DopeyFish]

[SargerusBR]

[NexusCell]

JUSTIN WAT ARE YOU DOING

 

[iori9999]

Wait, is SG better now?

Yeah they improved it a good deal.. It still is a very flawed game IMO..

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Justin is being dominated

 

[Biochet]

On the twitch stream where it says 'EVO Merchandise on sale now', is that only at the venue? Clicking the picture does nothing

 

[T.O.P]
