Hell yes. Took off this weekend just to watch it (was going to go but decided to wait until next year when SF5 comes out).
No way SF IV doesn't get a spot next year. After that it's anyone's guess.
For sure, SFV will have been out just a few months at that point. People aren't going to drop SFIV that fast.
Last night Mr Wizard was on Capcom Pro Talk and stated that there might not be USF4 as a main game at EVO next year. Said that it would be too much trying to do both SF4 and SFV plus he is confident that people are more willing to move on to SFV from SF4.
I wish Evo would do more fun stuff for it's promos like NCR does.
Are you seriously falling for Mr Wizard's trolling!

I think it's too early to assume people are just going to neatly transition over to playing SF V.
^you mean me and dahbomb fell for it? In my defense I didn't hear him say it, just reading.
Good. Move on to the new game unlike the Smash weirdos.
It will go away when 5 drops just like 3rd strike did when 4 came out.
I don't really get why people don't think this will happen.

I don't like to assume anything. Don't get me wrong though, I have no problems with 4 getting dropped like a bad habit.

I don't think he's trolling if sfv picks up with the players then it will be insnane to run another 2k+ entry game.just like sf2 was dropped for 3s and 3s was dropped for iv I see the same thing happening here.But they could pull a smash and have two different games but we will find out this time next year.
I don't know man, Mr Wizard has done crazier things...
Like UMVC3 2nd last at EVO and Smash 4 finals on Saturday morning.
Really hope that happens, SFIV has had more than enough time in the limelight.

yeah fuck what you like just move on as you're told amirite
Exactly.
You can like whatever you want, doesn't mean it should be on the mains tage at EVO. I want to see current games played not 14 year old ones. That's what side tourneys are for.

Low blow man. Melee and Smash 4 are completely different games; I think there's room for both.

because a very tiny amount of people were playing 3rd strike competitively when 4 came out. Much higher chance for some retention of SFIV's fan base. Especially if 5 somehow turns out rough.
FGC back then was a tiny dot compared to what it is now. in b4 getting mad at me for implying that Capcom grew the FGC exponentially starting in '09
That is a side tourney and not a main game. Unlike both Smash 4 and Melee.
Which is yet another reason why it would be insane to try and run another 2k+ player game next year.
I'm not sure what does this have to do with what I said! It will happen eventually, EVO isn't dropping it on SFV's first year though is what I'm saying.
And there's not much to compare between 3s and 4, how much was 3s getting before 4 came out?
Won't happen. Both SF IV and V will be at EVO next year.

so now 2000 people will play it instead of everyone immediately dropping it for 5?
I wouldn't mind seeing 4 get cut in order to force people to devote 100% attention to 5 (assuming it is really good), but I just don't see 4 dying immediately and can see situations where 4 would be kept at Evo.
anyway, they're focusing on making this Evo awesome right now and we can take anything they say as tentative regarding next Evo. A lot could change in a year.
If SFIV instantly die with SFV release, they'd at least have it one last time. Not to mention, EVO 2016's line up will be announced before SFV's release, that would mean dropping their most popular game for an unreleased game. I'd say that's way crazier than preferential treatment for a game they love.

Street Fighter x Tekken
Also, they've ran two Street Fighter games in previous years before with SFxT -- of course, you may argue that doesn't count but it still has Street Fighter characters using the same engine (or similar) to SFIV and they decided on running SFxT in 2012 before it even released as well. And I believe it had like 800 teams in 2012? 500+ entered in 2013, if I recall.
Smaller numbers but they still ran it and had it on main stage on Sunday in 2012....

What are you trying to say here? Is that a main stage game? No it isn't. Also technically nothing replaced it, it was just trash.

good point, fan bases need a good game to move on to or else they'll stick to what works best.
It was a main stage game in 2012. They had it on Sunday that year while still running SFIV.
because like 15 people still have an actual interest in st
if super turbo still got 500+ entrant tourneys consistently with 30k+ viewers on streams then you're damn right it should be a main game
And it isn't a sequel to Street Fighter so what? It's like saying there should be a Marvel tourney because clearly SF players should move to that. it has SF characters right? You might not like Smash 4 but it is a real sequel and should replace the old game.

I don't know why people berate Smash Melee for its solidarity. It's amazing.
In SFIV history, when they released the Arcade Edition version of the game, it was unanimously hated. So much that when Capcom released it for consoles, they allowed you to roll back to the previous version of Super Street Fighter IV. Despite everyone hating Hong Kong edition, despite everyone bragging about how Super was the best version, no one even considered using Capcom's option to roll back to the previous version. We just had to play the newest version, just because that's what you were supposed to do.

I'm tired of people saying this. Do you think Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is not meant to succeed for Tekken 6?
Evo staff made SFxT 2v2 for the sake of differentiating it from SF4. Involved the same players. Game didn't float in the community because of constant comparisons to SF4. Your criteria for true sequel is irrelevant. Because actual point being is that, no one should be ready and willing to play a game that they think is shit for the sake of it being new.
But I already know this is a waste of time because I'm talking to someone who's looking for a reason to exclude the 2nd and 3rd biggest games at Evo but is perfectly fine with there being two street fighter games, as long as one isn't a 'true sequel'.

SF2 ran at EVO throughout SF3's entire run. SF3 ran once at EVO under SF4.
so now 2000 people will play it instead of everyone immediately dropping it for 5?
I'm not saying less people would play it. I'm saying it would be another big tourney on top of the several others that are already big.
Not to mention it would be one less slot for other games to get a chance at.
Both are justified. UMVC3 has been the hypest game in the last couple years, it's in the spot it should be.
Assuming Tekken 7 will be out on console by then.
It's sad but not totally unexpected. He's probably going to Iwata's funeral.

Yeah. He made the right decision.

Sounds like the right choice if you're running a fighting game tournament.
