1.TVC and HDR will probably be dead in 2 years.TVC definitely.
2.3rd strike OE will most likely not revive the3s scene enough to warrant a spot.
3.Tekken 6 will be replaced by Tekken 7 by this time probably.Or TTT2 will just take the place as the main Tekken game seeing as TTT1 is one of the most well recieved tournament Tekken games in the series.
I think the game has the potential to get a spot but it all depends on if tournaments are run for it when it gets re-released.If tournaments are run for it at every major leading up to EVO 2011 and they are successful and exciting with results that vary (I.E no Chun vs Chun in every grand finals and top 8) then it could get there.
all the tekkens are going to make it interesting. TTT2, TxSF, and T6 will have to play pretty differently to get them all a spot, otherwise itll just be the same game 3 times. same with SFxT. if it plays alot like SSF4 then i dont see the point of it…if it plays BETTER than SSF4 it could replace it (i hope so)
HDR has been good for EVO the last couple of years. Regardless of what the vocal minority thinks, the numbers don’t lie. HDR has consistently been the #2 game at EVO by players entering. It isn’t going anywhere, especially when the silent majority prefers it.
I doubt 3S OE will be given a spot if it’s the same old Chun/Yun/Ken game. They should give it a rebalance treatment, 3S needs this more than ST IMO, otherwise that’s the reason why 3S was pulled from EVO in the first place. Tho it would be nice to see it back as an official game at EVO, just for nostalgia’s sake.
tvc and marvel 2 are done with marvel 3 taking one of their spots and mortal kombat 9 possibly taking the other
hdr is ass and I am guessing that the st community will bring back ST and not hdr… hdr scene should transition into it nicely. only prob is the same issue as before with no clear choice on which version to play
tekken 6 br will be usurped by TTT2. TTT2 looks to be really great.
ssf4 ae of course
if evo staff continues the people’s choice game, i think melty or arcana 3 will be the game if not blazblue cs 2.
