Forums - Gaming - EVO 2017 roster announced. 9th game will be voted in.

Cloudman on 25 January 2017

It seems kind of strange that KI is on the voting list, rather than a confirmed title for EVO, since it seems like one of the bigger fighting games, and a key MS fighting game. I feel like that one should have been there.

Seeing ARMS on the list is also a surprise, and would actually like to see how that would go. I kind of hope that one wins.

UMvC3 back in front

UMvC3 - $6550
Pokken - $6246
Killer Instinct -$3823

The rest are irrelevant

Noo.. I want KI to be there as much as I want UMvC3.

Do we really need 2 Smash Bros?

2 Super smash are Nintendo.

Taken 7, and injustice 2 are multi-platform game.

One is a vote in game.

The rest are Ps4 exclusives though. So yeah 4 of those are PS4 exclusives.

Wow that is.....something lol.

On a side note I honestly feel like they should just drop Injustice 2 from the list and add in KI and UMvC 3. If not that then maybe one of the Super Smash games. Is the difference between the 2 really that big where they need both of them? I have not played either one so I am not sure.

They are the 2nd and 3rd biggest games at EVO, regardless of how different they are they would never drop 1 for UMvC3 or KI.

Injustice or 1 of the anime fighters would make a lot more sense if UMvC3 and KI are both more popular than those.

Genesis is a Melee centric event, and it promoted Melee as its main event ahead of Smash 4. It's only bound to get more attention.

There have been plenty of tournaments where Smash 4 had more players and viewers.

It's not very easy to tell which gets more views. At tier 2 events (nationals), Smash 4 might get more views. At super majors, Melee destroys Smash 4 viewership, unless Smash 4 is the final event, in which case is pretty close. 

I do think Smash 4 deserves the Sunday spot on Mandalay Bay, simply because it's the second biggest game. It doesn't make sense to have a bracket with more players be shorter than one with less players.

S4 has done better at tier 1 events through out the whole of last year in fact what you posted is more vice versa.

The Megaman run in Smash 4 last year was my favourite moment.

Well one thing that helps Melee at least for me, is that I know way more Melee players than Smash 4 players. I really wouldn't underestimate how long some of these guys have been around and the reputations/fanbases they build. It's fun knowing you have someone to root for.
