Should be interesting!

Though iirc, one person has to use the Wii U gamepad so that would be a bit strange :/

 

Not in the competitive scene. There will be 2 wiiu with Lan support

it'll do well obviously but its hard to imagine it doing that incredibly well since its on the Wii U :/ just too small of a number of console owners

 

That doesn't stop splatoon for being toe to toe with halo5 :p

Games that makes it to the EVO aren't especially successful, at least no "pokemon level" successful.
Plus EVO isn't that popular of an event. If the game is competitive enough, twitch streams and local tournaments will do a much better work in the long run.

Edit : "Huge selling" : I expect it to do as good as Hyrule Warriors. Is that huge ?

 

Being a spin off of pokemon? (they don't do well anymore) 

Being on wiiu? 

Yes 1mil would be very good considering its also a fighting game. Hyrule warriors for wat it was did extremely well too (thanks to zelda fans)

This is a game that looks soooooo promising and that I wish to have all te success in the world. At the same time, I always wonder if players of other consoles are envy and would love to take a try, too, or if it's a Nintendo fanboy phenomenon.

I hope the extra exposure from Evo helps give it some attention. I'd love to see this game do well in the west

Evo is the biggest fighting game tournament by far, the Stream averages around 200 -300k, one major reason Third Strike became popular was due to EVO which was still going by its old name at the time. It's where the fighting game communities come together and games are given exposure, only series that really is the exception is Smash.
