I am expecting great things from T7 in the future, couldn't be happier about it. KI has a very heavy online centric competitive scene, offline will probably continue to see lower numbers versus other titles. A testament to the netcode but a little disappointing for people like me that always preferred the tournament and local scenes for my fighting game fixes. I would also be interested in seeing demographic data as I would be willing to wager KI's communtiy skews younger i.e players not able to do much if any traveling.

Random question: Thinking about going to EVO, just to go and have fun/get out of Japan for a week. How are the tickets working? I looked at the registration page to get a ticket for the 3 days and it only said 2. Mostly wanted to go to SFV finals at the arena, unless they are sold out that is.
Any info/links super appreciated.

Well MKX has those esl tournaments as an excuse. Im not understanding those xrd numbers though. Thought the new version is being played at CEO.

It's not like Lupe has anything to gain from facing F.Champ anyways. Dude is a marvel player, after all.

But that's not doing well either by those numbers

It blows my mind how much some people here go out of their way to avoid acknowledging Smash as the #1 fighting game series right now.
Smash is the champion of party games!
player numbers is irrelevant when you're the first fighting game to get mentioned by espn

It's not really going out of your way if you don't play the game, have no interest, follow it in any sort of way.

"fighting game series"
Staggered releases that are practically a year late? No.

Are any of those how you define the #1 fighting game with a thriving scene?

Overwatch will soon be the #1 fighting game

As hesitant as I am to admit it, I think it's true.

Personally I don't care to define it.
But this thread has constantly argued that "smash is a separate scene", which is somewhat related to the "there is no cohesion between fighting game scenes" argument. So from my point of view it doesn't seem like going out of your way to just completely ignore the existence of one game or another.
Smash definitely gets very little representation in this thread, same goes for Mortal Kombat.

Almost. It's 600 post if I remember right.
Or GG or MK or Smash or Pokken... Hell, didn't SG, at one point, get more entrants than KI for its EVO side tournament?! Maybe, just maybe, there's more to it than not being made by Capcom!
