This gonna be good

★ COMPARISON OF 2014 VS 2015 ★

Ultra Street Fighter IV – 1979   vs     *2000

Super Smash Bros. Melee – 970   vs    1500+

Super Smash Bros for WiiU   N/A   vs    1500+

Other games for 2014......

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 – 1014

BlazBlue: Chronophantasma – 508

Killer Instinct – 338

King of Fighters XIII – 319

Injustice: Gods Among Us – 311

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 – 257

Nice! The fighting scene seems to be very healthy right now, and it should only get better as the gen goes on.

Also, I just noticed, but is Mortal Kombat not played competitively (like in tournaments) or what?

Pretty good news.. wonder if Smash 4 could slowly replace Melee

SSB4 cant slowly replace Melee if Melee is getting bigger every year (its up 50%+ YoY in Tourney players). SSBU took over Project m though.

If Project M had 10k Competitors playing a year ago, its definitely dropped 50%+ due to SSBU

hope ki gets a good boost

I think it will, its getting more and more popular especially with its game layout (adding alot characters/etc)

mkx is supposed to be at evo this year, but in general mk isn't in a lot of tournaments, at least not without a lot of restrictions because of how poorly balanced the games are.

that championship is gonna be really exciting with the prize pool now being 500.000 dollars thanks to Sony.

It's always nice to see Smash slowly growing in the FGC. Really hoping Evo brings the hype this year in every game involved.
