Why do people always assume that KI only gets in because of money? It's really frustrating to hear people say that shit.
The KI community is fantastic, still going strong, and the game itself still getting support/new content/new character releases.

Because it's consistently among the lowest entrant game at EVO since its release yet always escape the boot over other games. If we were to chart out all the games from last year based on number of entrants and booted based on number of entrants then KI would be high on that list.
I have nothing against KI but the money hats are too obvious.

Street Fighter x Tekken - Japanese High Level New Years 2017 sets!
In case anyone is interested in new SFxT sets.

Only obvious if you're jaded and cynical.
The game has grown every year after its first year there, is fun to watch, has been continuously supported, and has an outspoken fanbase. To act like the only reason it comes back is because Microsoft is paying Wizard to have it there is pretty silly.
If registration numbers were the only thing that determined if a game came back the next year then I might believe it, but that clearly isnt the case when you have games like TTT2 coming back several years in a row despite having the fewest registrants each year, and very low numbers.

What are you talking about, TTT2 was only there two years: 2013 and 2014. And it didn't get the least entrants the first year of those, that honor goes to MK9. After it got fewest once it was axed.
I agree it's not just entry numbers and probably shouldn't be, but TTT2 is surely a poor example of that.
The money hats conspiracy with killer instinct at Evo isn't that it was there for the last three years despite low attendance, it's that it also got a Sunday game status its first year and last finals on Saturday the last two years.
There's no reason why you can't run Killer Instinct all day Friday.
Tekken 7, which actually gets public money hats for Evo can't even get treated like Killer Instinct does.

But it is. KI has never been even an average game in terms of registration numbers or viewership. And you can't say it's in a SF,MK,Tekken,Marvel level in popularity terms. Maybe if MS didn't fucked up the Xbox launch it could be on the way to reach it in the next entries, but I doubt this can happen now.
TTT2 was only 2 years at EVO. The first after homeconsole release and the 2nd one just cuz almost every year has had a 3D game in the oficial line up.
Tekken 7 being at EVO it's just a matter of promotion and reputation. Just to say "Hey T7 might not be out for consoles, but we hold high level competition with the arcade version.
It's not the same case. And as I said before, despite how it sells, Tekken has a mainstream appeal that KI doesn't.

and to save everyone's noses
also I'll say SFV, Marvel, Tekken, some anime crap, KOF14 or Injustice, and two Smash games.
If they add two more it'll be a second anime thing and whichever of KOF14 or Injustice wasn't picked

Have the EVO main games ever been based on entrants alone? I thought there were usually other factors like community support, history of good top 8 matches, etc.
Having said that, won't hurt my feeling if they boot KI. I could be completely wrong but I don't think they can expect the growth in entrance like there were for Season 1 to Season 2. There was a ton of excitement for the game around that time, Season 3's response has been tepid at best.
I pray to every deity known to the human world that we don't get two Smash games.

Just found out for the Tatsunoko 55th anniversary they're doing a new 3dcg anime thing called Infini T Force that stars Casshan, Gatchama, Tekkaman, and Hurricane Fucking Polymar all on one team.
My day is made. Now all I need is for Tatsunoko to pony up for a rerelease or sequel to TVC in honor of this anniversary buildup.

Slasher still a fraud. 
Ken looks great in the teaser but tbh i've kind of said my goodbyes to classic Gatchaman & really love the new one. still, hopefully it's fun. whenever it finally comes out.

If there's only one anime game, i'd like BBCF to replace XRD:R
Best case scenario : They boot KI (Who cares anyway) so we can get BBCF + XRD:R

Only 7 games makes things hard, since we had 9 last year.
If we had 9, I'd say cut Pokken for BBCF and Killer Instinct for KoFXIV. IJ2 for MKX if it comes out in time.

we had nine at the event last year but when wizard asked for suggestions he also only asked for seven. wouldn't be shocked if this ends up the same.

Ah, good. Your memory is better than mine, then.
My list would be:
Smash 4
Smash Melee
SFV
UMvC3
KoFXIV
GG Xrd-R
BBCF
Tekken 7
MKX or IJ2 if it's out in time.
It'd be nice to get Killer Instinct in there, too, but it's a tight schedule. Ideally, Evo doesn't drop a game that is still receiving active support from the development team. That technically also appeals to Pokken, but that game was something else last year...
And Deckard was never heard from again 😱
NRS games have all come out in April iirc so I'm guessing Injustice 2 will release around the same time and be the NRS game for EVO.

Thing is, he isn't employed by Capcom UK in any fashion, same with F-Word.
He's setting up his own weekly tournament this year anyway, so doubtful that they'll be as involved with Capcom anyway.
It'll likely be 9 games again
SFV, Inj 2, T7, Melee, Smash 4 definite
GGXrd, UMvC3 highly likely
BBCF, KoF14 probable
MKX, KI, Pokken unlikely
Everything else not happening
TPC paid to get Pokken into EVO. Don't think the money hats are limited to US companies only.

Tekken 7
Smash Melee and Smash 4
Killer Instinct
GGXrd Revelator
KofXIV
Injustice 2
And UMvC3 to hype up MvC:I
If it could only be 7 I could see MvC3, Killer Instinct, or KOFXIV being dropped.

Wizard has basically said it's 7 on twitter.
Like others said, he always asks on twitter for 7 games because he likes to see the scenes bicker. He then puts 9 games in anyway. This has been the case for at least the last two years
EDIT: Only way it's actually 7 is if Mandalay Bay's convention area has significantly less space than LVCC.

Edit : Oh yeah i misread my bad. Good question for UMVC3, would be cool.
I expect MvC:I to be part of the official CPT tho'.
100% sure that UMVC3 will be at EVO, one last year before MvCI.
Rumors were saying that Marvel might not be on CPT but on its own thing. Like it could have an exhibition type thing instead.
