It is on PS3 for whatever reason. Perhaps in order to ensure they have all the PS4s / PS4 sticks they can get for USF4.
Damn... Well lets see what Wizard tells us then once all the logistics are worked out.
Why Flux? I would honestly put Cloud instead of Flux, much more hype player plus his Dante is one of the best, if not, the best.

I really hope Punisher makes top 8.
I really hope Sm4sh doesn't get booed for taking a little while longerwhen top 8 is happening. Has Wizard mentioned anything about stocks and time limit? 2 stocks and 4-5 minutes might be the most reasonable way to not prolong EVO.
It'll still be behind 4 other games lol

Eh, I'm not talking about Sunday finals, even though Gods Beard mentioned the view numbers during that time. I'm talking about when the main stage/main stream is occupied when they aren't doing top 8s for a game. It's usually quarter finals/semi finals/pools of the two biggest games. Originally this privilege was only SF4 and every match in top 32 was streamed. But after Marvel 3 came out, it's been about sharing. SF4 evo champions get eliminated off stream so we get to see the 5th runback of Apologyman vs Fchamp.
If Melee is legitimately bigger than Marvel this year then they deserve that exposure. It's only fair.
If it's ahead of Marvel, it'll likely be 4th.
I wholeheartedly agree. Melee has shown time and time again that it has a very boisterous and passionate community that deserves the spotlight many other main FGC-centric streams have not been giving them. Only issue is wouldn't delegating that be a nightmare since you need gamecube's and CRTV's on the main stage to then replace them for PS4's and those ASUS monitors (if they are using those) to then play SFIV? That sounds like a nightmare within itself unless they have the space to have both up on the main stage, which I wouldn't honestly know. Also, the same issue may arise with Marvel since it's played on 360's, which would be another nightmare to delegate. MrWizard sure has it rough this year lol, not to mention that there are gonna be arcade machines at EVO this year, even though they'll probably be at its own booth.
Don't get ahead of yourself, Xrd is godlike but Mahvel is MAHVEL BABEH
Melee will be #2 this year for sure based on its growth, Marvel's decline, and the fact that Melee did a lot more entrants than Smash 4 at Apex. What I'm not sure of is whether Smash 4 or Marvel will be 3rd.

I think Smash 4 will be 3rd, but I also think that Apex isn't necessarily representative of Evo numbers.
I hope the actual stream schedule goes:
Xrd
Marvel
Smash 4
SFIV
I think Nintendo will be unhappy if Melee gets the spotlight.

I went to work the next day for those two summers, 4 hours of sleep is not the way to go and I hope the tournament doesn't stream until 1 am EST.

Why don't they use arcade sprites if it's supposed to be the arcade version?
As far as I understand the original project was to make a new version of Yata, not just catch up a PC release to an existing arcade one.
Try 4AM. 100% impossible to watch if you have work on Monday. I must really thank Ultra for making that less painful.

Tekken 7 is a great way to start Sunday. It'll be new, so it may not have a huge representation, but people will be interested and it'll start things off well.
Otherwise I'd aim to get the joke games out of the way on Friday... with UMvC3 slipping into Saturday for the sake of scheduling.
Friday
Killer Instinct
MKX
SSB4
Melee
Saturday
P4AU
UMvC3
Sunday
Tekken 7

The "Beta" came out -before- the arcade version -that came out a week ago-. The current arcade version of AoC is the finished build that we are getting a PC port of.
The Beta as it is was completed a few months ago. In that time they've worked on finishing up the art (the missing sprites for Azure and Aja) and porting to Nesica. Next they need to implement GGPO and finish translation for the final product.

You get that many PMs in your box that ones from last year aren't there anymore?
Also, I haven't started collecting money yet. I need to get the plane tickets.

Didn't the first Soul Caliburs also had 30s rounds?ringouts are great
timeouts are fine but 60 sec timers at most pls, 1:40 for a round is too long
in the dark ages of VF you had 30 seconds to win a round
I stand corrected!

One of Mr. Wizard's most anticipated things about EVO 2015 is Marvel, so I have a hard time imagining it happening on Saturday. I'd bet it on it being next to last on Sunday and getting the highest viewer count again this year, actually.
EVO's five months away, Xrd will have cooled off majorly by then. Staying power in FG's is super rare.

I see. Thanks for the clarifications.
This was my wish I made in the last stream I think.

I highly doubt this, I don't think Marvel has declined that much....yet
Xrd gets into Sunday because it's new this year and has ASW/Aksys backing it.
MKX gets into Sunday because it's new this year and has Warner Bros. backing it.
Smash 4 gets into Sunday because it's new this year and has Nintendo backing it.
Melee gets into Sunday because despite being 15 years old, its community is large, its turnout is increasing, and it will likely have the 2nd most entrants.
USF4 gets into Sunday because it's the most popular Evo game and has Capcom backing it.
Tekken 7 may get into Sunday because it's new this year and has Namco backing it, only reason it won't is due to it being on arcade cabs and not on consoles or available at all in the US yet.
Unless Evo decides to try to squeeze in six or more Top 8s on Sunday like in 2012 (and even then one of those was a Top 4), I'm not expecting a three year-old game with a declining player base and nonexistent publisher support to make it.
Edit: I forgot that Wiz said he'd only do one Smash game on Sunday. In that case, I think Marvel probably will be on Sunday, but I don't think it will be the second-to-last game as it has been the last 4 years.

I wouldn't worry about Marvel entrant numbers at all - if anything, there are newer plus greater-improved players this year over last year.
And Marvel didn't have one of the highest views of the last few years, it had the highest viewers of the last few years straight period.
