*cue the 1-hour Smash 64 match on Hyrule Castle*
There was a 1 hour smash 64 match on Hyrule castle? dafuq. How many stocks was it?
The year is 2020, and EVO 2015 Grand Finals for Sm4sh is still going on. Most of the audience has become wasted skeletons in their seats, but Spooky lives on by scavenging the remains of those around him. Will he ever set us free?
James Chen and Ultra Davis pointed out that the Sunday games are usually decided by entries numbers. Melee and Smash 4 will probably be the #2 and #3 most entries, so it'll be weird to see a game that has 1000+ entrants be regulated to Sat.
I know Mr. wizard wants only wants one Smash game, but the numbers will force him to reconsider.

The key word here is "usually". It's not always true especially for the non Capcom games.
They also made it so only alpha owners can use it, lol. That's evil.
I feel like closing out Saturday night rather than starting early/middle of Sunday is better.

Well Jedah is the only reason I play Vampire so I'll take your word for it, but man that video quality is so bad. I have no idea what I'm looking at.
No DMC or RE characters in this... LOL Capcom.

It'll definitely be bullshit if Marvel 3 is the fourth or fifth most entered game and it still gets the entirety of its quarter and semi finals on the main stage.
It's pretty obvious the direction they're going with this given the art style. Having DMC or RE characters might be out of place.

5 Stock? oof.

Entry numbers aren't the only relevant numbers. Marvel had the highest views last year as I recall.
omg that's the girl from golden axe

Wouldn't surprise me. I mean, for the untrained eye, Marvel have the most exciting and hype matches. Crazy damage, fun combos, one touch deaths, etc. SF4 looks boring compared to it.

LOL, agreed. I just meant that you'd need to know the game a bit deeper to appreciate games like SF4.

That sucks was hoping there would be a demo. Looking forward to the rest of the reveals though.
If you think that's bull shit then prepare for a lot of bull shit at EVO.

The only reason Marvel had the highest views was because they were ordered by entry numbers and it had the best timeslot by being 2nd to last.
I welcome Marvel as the last top 8 at 2 am EST

Japanese capture technology; rarely do captures of arcade footage get better than 360p. :[

I didn't receive a yatagarasu update, so I think it's still a version or more behind the arcade one.

I'm with you, they keep making these hype covers. Can this actually lead to a game where i can play as Shadow and Zero and wreck shop. Time Stop assisted loops. We need it in all the fightting games.
Non Sanic or Megaman Related but Capcom Related.
Didn't ono say someone was working on some fighting game that wasn't street fighter? Is that a thing or is this nothing again? I was looking at the charlie trailer for the umtenth time and i thought i remembered ono saying something to that effect.
I would chalk the peak being Marvel primarily to scheduling. Going past 10-11PM EST is going to result in a sever drop-off no matter what game is coming next.

The Beta version is one version before Arcade version (final PC release will be the Arcade version).
Some sprites are missing, the netcode is still old (no GGPO yet), and balance changes may have been made from Beta->Arcade(speculation).

The peak being Marvel instead of Melee or Street Fighter might be time slots, but I highly doubt Guilty Gear or Killer Instinct is pulling those numbers regardless.
To the untrained eye, Marvel seems to be a turnoff for some viewers. It can be pretty difficult to see whats going on with all the assists and flashy moves. Not to mention, some of the more longer combos (infinites and loops) are pretty dull.

Those aren't the only characters. I'll bet good money DMC shows up, if only for shit-talking between Dante and Sonic.
Neither of those has a prayer of going on last. GG/MKX/T7/Smash4/Ultra feels to me like the best Sunday combination in terms of diversity and run-time that also makes the sponsors happy.
Will it be regular or viewtiful joe version
" I knew a blue guy, he was more like your grumpy friend there though "
I think it can be both depending on what the match is.
I can't imagine morrigan and doom were the most exciting things to watch

...you think Evo really cares about diversity?
though now I am curious, how do you guys think the other 5 games (T7/GGXrd/KI/P4A/MKX) will end up in # of entrants

BB had 500 or so last year with that money on the line right? I could see GG sitting above 400 but not sure how high past that.
Why would they put characters from M rated series in a comic for kids?
i just want to have a panel of chris redfield exploding sonic's head with his muscle fist, is that too much to ask?
I gotta try this out, my laptop can certainly run this. Would be nice to have PM on the go instead of bringing a wii out.
Marvel 3 will possibly be the 3rd game. First will be SF, then Melee, then Marvel. Unless Nintendo puts up a good amount of money for a pot prize, I don't see Sm4sh getting in the top 3, maybe top 5. Besides, Marvel deserves to be in the Sunday slot. Its still been one of the highest viewed games for EVO two years in a row if I'm not mistaken, you can't beat those numbers.
One of the Anime titles is going to get the finals day slot, and it'll be the one that's on the PS4.

My current guess is something like USFIV>Melee>Marvel>Smash 4>MKX>Xrd>KI>P4
Tekken 7 is hard to tell where it'll end up considering its unique situation tbh
