I'm surprised there isn't a sense of urgency to raise money to get MKXL the last spot so far. I'm also surprised and impressed that Arms is already getting interest so far within the competitive scene (though it has potential from what I've seen so far). I wish all these games luck.

Im also happy that Smash 4 will get a spot on Sunday in the big arena. Yes it's unfortunate that Melee isn't on Sunday this year, but it's nice to see Smash 4 get a big opportunity to shine with an all-time great roster and a scene continuing to impress and grow. Heck, it would be great to see 16-year old MKLeo (who just won Genesis 4 for Sm4sh) once again rise against the mainstays of Smash 4.



Hopefully ARMS make it, Pokken was a huge let down last year almost nobody cared, UMvC3 is meh, I will be happy with KI or ARMS, heck even WJ just for the lols.

They couldn't just drop the second biggest game from their lineup.

I've heard rumblings that it will be on finals day this time, though. I sure hope that's the case, and that they organize the tournament better this time.

Yeah its on the final day was just looking it up. 

BUT: Now Melee is the day before. Did not expect to see that. Like at all. Especially after last year.

A notable TO said he would try to make sure the mistakes from last year don't happen for either game this year.

Pokken wasn't bad, but it felt bare bones.

 

I hope they make Pokken 2 and improve it significantly. Make a change as big as smash64 -> melee

What mistakes did happen last year? What is this fiasco that happened?



I'm glad KOF is back at Evo.



At least Tekken 7 comes out before but a month isn't much time for the Europeans to play is it? Still kind of odd that it was at the last 2 EVOs, did the pros just buy their own arcade board?



Hmm, pie.

Wait, what the fuck?!? ARMS is actually an option?!?
The game is not even out yet, we don't even have a demo, the damn system it's coming out on hasn't even launched yet, how the fuck did that game get Player's Choice?!?
I'm not trying to come across as negative if I am, I'm legit surprised!

I'm sure certain Arcades have been provided with cabinets, most Namco fighting games hit Arcade first before console, the has essentially been in a long beta phase.
