i could see KOF not making it.
While it's been the hypest game at EVO 2 years in a row, it takes an eternity to finish and caused them to run over an hour late both times if I'm not mistaken.
UltraChenTV is going to start soon. They are looking back at 2013 - http://www.twitch.tv/ultrachentv

Yo, Smash is guaranteed too I bet.
Prog is one of the Smashlluminati and he was teasing stuff right after Evo.
I fear that KI will never reach it's potential in terms of players being only on one console and the console that most people do not prefer to boot. It's going to be interesting to see how the game is come EVO. This is why I think it is important for fighting games to come out with everything they possibly can feature. In this day and age, gamers are less patient to stick with something when there are other games constantly coming out.
After the heart the Smash community showed last year, they deserve to be in every EVO from now on. They are a prime example of a community that supports their game.

I would rather see SFxT be given prime time than KI.
Real talk KI is ass and I like SFxT.

I actually think they're gonna go even bigger this year, primarily just from adding KI. Don't think they'll go in the opposite direction.
For sure:
USFIV
UMvC3
Melee (would be crazy if they added Brawl too; probably would get more entrants than many of the games below)
KoF XIII
KI
Injustice
TTT2
Likely:
BBCP
DoA5
Looking shaky:
P4:A

God status revoked. Kanye Am A God.
My exact lineup as well. My guess is 8 games this year, but we'll see.

No different than Nintendo games in a Sony-sponsored event.

After the shitshow that did/nearly exploded into last year Nintendo would be dumb as all get out to not let Melee be streamed.
Especially with Smash U/Smash 3DS around the corner.
Perhaps, but market penetration is a bigger issue. X1 being rather limiting in some aspects is more of a prospective issue.
When you have something like a handful of million people worldwide with the device period after a massive launch, it's hard to foster that same sort of community, even if it's F2P and from what we can see from leaderboards is reaching a very significant percentage of all owners. Of course people are going to hound on it for a shit number of entrants but it isn't half as accessible as other games for players to pick up, let alone build a scene out of. It's not coming out on a console that 70+ million people already have.
Sony only sponsored EVO 2012 I think. Smash wasn't a featured game that year I believe.
Nintendo could give a struggle sponsorship to support Smash U.

I wish Maj would make a new combo vid for EVO.
This one and the Ryu is stron vid were fucking amazing.

People listing USF4 as a certainty have more faith in Capcom than I do.
I was mostly giving a long winded description of something only to say that the two common factors between the two were really just that they're awful games. The console stuff was more of misdirection than anything.
That would be a good move no doubt. Have a panel there, show off a Namco fighter character and have some kiosks as well. Nothing lost in trying court your audience but I fear Ninty doesn't get that.

pfft Nintendo always runs away from these situations
USF4 - duh
Marvel - obvious
Injustice - Still doing strong, will be in.
Killer Instinct - Moneyhat, so yeah.
Melee - Will be in unless Nitendo intervenes.
KoFXIII - Still doing decently good outside the U.S. and they'll be enough overlap with SF4 players. Will more than likely be in.
SFxT - I don't think we've seen the last of it. It is a Capcom fighter (so it will pull in numbers). I also don't see it doing less years than MK9. Would probably be SFxT's last hurrah, but I believe it will be in.
TTT2 - Premier 3D fighter.
BB:CP - Now that Japan and the U.S. are finally on the same page for once, and since P4A2's console release is still pending, BlazBlue will take it's place.
DoA5U - Doing decently good and the Arcade release may give it enough of a boost to be given a chance.
They expand to 10 games, and life will be near hell (they definitely won't decrease the number of games).

But none of the characters in Marvel 3 are classy who is he gonna play?
He said he'd mess with Spencer, Iron Fist, and maybe Wesker.

That's pretty much the safest bet assuming we get the same amount of games this year as the last. With maybe a Skullgirls exhibition again.

More like Winter 14
Nah, that would be great! We would all turn off the stream after SF4.
It's gonna be after Melee and just before Marvel and SF. The pre-Capcom slot, AKA the cock-block slot. All the shitty exhibitions are placed in that spot, when everyone just wants to watch Marvel.
Oh boy, the Evo speculation game! I enjoy this way more than I should (but it's gotten easier over the years, if only because of the number of games being run going up.
Stone Cold Locks:
USF4 -- Hell, it's already been confirmed.
UMvC3 -- Ditto.
KI -- What, you think MS is there to push Windows 8 and Office 365?
Stone Cold Locks (unless Nintendo does something stupid):
SSBM -- It's sad that it's even a possibility, but after last year (and talk of MLG picking up the game again) I don't think Nintendo gets in the way.
Likely:
Injustice -- Not the biggest community, but they've been grinding it out hard and the game has seen more variety since the last patch.
BBCP -- This game is getting decent numbers at tournaments even before the US release. I just hope you like (or play) Kokonoe! :3
Unlikely (but it's boring making the same picks as everyone else):
DoA5U -- The game has gotten far more support in the US than any other DoA game, and Tecmo is still actively pushing it with two more updates already planned.
GGAC+R -- The game still gets burn in the US (usually around 2/3rds of the tourney numbers of BBCP), and it would be a sick lead-in for ArcSys to Xrd in 2015.
MK9, SFxT and P4A seem like pretty easy drops (P4A2 would be a good add, but I don't think it's out in Japan or the US in time for Evo). TTT2 is a bit harder but Tekken has always been a bit soft at Evo for years now, and the community has shrinking for a while. KoF XIII is the hardest one to make -- US support isn't very good, but it always seems to do better at Evo, and the international support is stronger than most games. You would probably have a more accurate list if you swapped XIII and AC+R, honestly.

You done for tonight? My game froze so I had to restart the xbox.
Oh, my bad. I figured came up and you and to leave.
Yeah, I'm done. I honestly wasn't that much in the mood to play tonight.
