I really don't think they can drop a Smash game. SSB4 is what Nintendo wants people to play, especially with the supposed upcoming port, but Melee has an insanely loud fanbase that would not react nicely. Personally? I'd drop the animu games
Which is what I expect to happen with Evo Japan being a real thing. Even more so if really is only 7 games.

Mandalay Bay has 1 million sqft of convention space. There's plenty of room depending on how much Wizard wants to rent out

Kilgore is neat. The more he zones the faster his spin speed gets on his guns till they overheat then he starts taking damage but his moves get extra properties. Typically it looks like overheat favors his rushdown tools but since you can use exhaust to cool off and to cancel out of guns you can stay cool for zoning if needed. Has a nice missile though that you can aim a target reticle to create good setups and oki. You can either fire them 3 missiles straight to the reticle or hidden missile style upwards for shit. Shadow missiles is like 15-17% if they all hit and mad hard to avoid since its a Dante style cluster.
Plus Blanka balls with fast recovery on whif.
Diggin this dude. Nice game now that its like 27 characters strong.

What would be the point? Dull stuff isn't exciting. The deeper the new content is the more use folks will into it and the longer they'll mess with it. Making a character thats vanilla isn't very exciting for sales or for getting folks back into a game (or to pick it up for that matter).
DLC needs to be enticing. Besides this is a very simple mechanic to get down. Try learning Aganos.
EDIT: or Aria.
Most KI characters arent very complex. They just give very detailed explanations when showing them off for the first time.
Isnt aganos rock man nty too slow
Aria has the 3 switch thing
I like the shadow man the best because hes pretty sick with the slides and his airdashes but then again his fireball is lame because its mechanic
Things can be complicated yes, but in the way KI does im playing against myself most of the time
Like the two headed guy that commands just dont work sometimes
Like what

The characters of Season 1 are the most simple. Ever since Keits and the IG team took over, the mechanics introduced to KI are very, very cool. Keits even said the two additional characters coming to KI will continue to bring new mechanics and ways to fight to the table.
I say good on Keits and the KI team, because I very much enjoy what KI's added to the table for fighting games.

Eyedol switches movesets so you gotta watch him. I'm currently trying to lab him and he's pretty stellar, but yeah you gotta have your shit together. Omen is the zoner and he is super sick. All those tools made me initially think during his reveal back in the day he'd be top tier and busted...proved me wrong. Aganos has to grab chunks to have access to tools and can put walls on the screen to force folks close to him. If he puts folks through a wall its mad damage. He can also make a giant club. Slow as balls, armored, and touuuuuuuuuugh to use. Aria is glass cannon so shes tricky.
I'm still learning hard on this game. Loving it though. So much to explore with every character.

WTF?! They just showed a teaser and at the end Jago did a fucking cutscene into a spirit bomb for an "Ultimate".
Me interested.

Yep. Ultimates were in the old games and theyre basically KI's versions of fataliies. Sort of.

You didn't miss much. If you got KI on Xbox One you should also have the old games on your console if you want to check them out but it's rough times.

Dropping a Smash game would be surprising - both Smash games bring in a ton of players.

No, the danger moves were fatalities.

that would have roped in the animu game fans with weird fetishes
Hence my "sort of."
No Mercys were the fatalities. Ulitmates were ultra combos that ended in a No Mercy.

i like gimmicks.
Yep. I'm 99% sure Melee is returning. It brings in the participants, star players on legit esport teams, and the spectators. And many of the community leaders work for Twitch, which is closely aligned and or partnered with Evo.
I know some of you are hoping your fanfic comes true and one or both Smash games get kicked out, but it's probably not happening. If I've learned anything from SFV, it's best to lower your expectations. I don't actually mind 2 smash games if the logistics make sense.

Yes but SF5 V-gimmicks are half of the time boring and uninspired.

Ultimates are the best implementation of a modern No Mercy since it continues the flow of the match. Glad that IG/MS decided to address one of the most requested features since Season 1. I won't raise the pitchfork until I see the cost of the remaining post-season 3 characters since I think $5.00 is very reasonable with $5.00 going towards the community.
Half of Akumas cost isn't going to tourney prize pools though.
KI: where you can be a pot monster without ever leaving your home
Capcom did this too with the CPT DLC, except like everything else Capcom has done with the game it was half-baked (at best) and provided near-zero value for your money. Even the amount contributed to the pot is very close.

It doesn't even sound like it necessarily goes to prize pools, just funding tournaments in general. Could be anything from venue costs to paying commentators.
Not those kind of draws! The kind where you blow $500 rolling for some frilly dress and all you get is a bunch of frog hats and clown shoes for half the cast.
And it's probably for the best that I don't have much experience/talent drawing, because I think what I would end up drawing would be... uh... questionable.
Insert joke about Arcana Heart doujins HERE
First one was prize pools, would be surprised if this was any different
