I never posted in this section, never interested me.

But I was wondering, why is it that people always vote for MvC2? Thats the most broken 2D Fighting Game out there. Yes its fun, but if you dont wanna have a broken ass game in a tournament why is it always included?

To me, Its the new Gen of ST, a standard to say, an oldie but goodie, something to always be there, loads of people play this game, and out of all fighting games ive ever played, no game gives you more freedom or is more fun to play than marvel. The comebacks and upsets are ungodly, Were you at evo last year and see what potter did in the Finals with no health? That alone makes marvel ungodly, spiral winning it all, the speed or msp tearing through anyone and anything, its just so fast paced and fun i wonder WHY most people dont play it more. But thats just me, to me its a fan favorite and will always be there.

Like i posted earlier, i Hope SSBM ( if MLG doesnt object or Nintendo ) and DOA 4 make the list, i myself played it and i would think its tourny worthy, i liked what i saw and played. Let people play off/online and experiment with it and see what they say. Evo is about 7 months away so that should be enough to determine if enough of the scene will like it and support it enough.

Peace/

GGXX Slash isnt coming out on japanese ps2’s until summer 06’ , so it looks like Reload is the way to go this year again.

83

:wink:

84

And March = early spring :smiley:

@Dios
Never been to Evo, the only time I watch anything on Evo is when I find a few clips on the net. Im too poor to even go to a casual tournament, lol. I barely go to many tourneys these days, unless a friend hooks me up and pays for my entrance fee or I miraculously got some money on me.

86

DOA4 ate evo. Bet it

87

Ill take that bet boyooooooooooo see u der

88

All of the games at last years evo: since these are still the most popular games
All of the games at this years sbo (or at least the ones that are released on console): All of these games are new and exciting

kof2k2, since it had quite a few signups last year, but didn’t quite make it to official status. I’m pretty sure if it is offical to start it will get 100+ people.

sc3: I believe this is the only new fighter to come out this year; it is new and exciting

ssbm: it will draw a lot of people, which results in more money

89

Cosign.

90

Cant’ have Alpha 3. Can’t use arcade version, vaginas complain about playing something else.

91

I’ll support DoA4 and also whatever version of KoF goes on the list this year (I’ll buy Neowave regardless).

92

http://www.tougeki.com/ Basically all the SBO games if possible on console. I think they will all be out by then, don’t know about Fist of the North Star. Well my reason is that I would love to compare who uses what characters in both the US and Jpn scenes.

93

My list

2D fighters

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike
Capcom vs SNK 2
Guilty Gear XX # Reloaded (slash if it came out)

3D Fighters

Soul Calibur 3
Tekken 5
Super Smash Bros Melee
Dead or Alive 4
Nartuo GNT 4 (if they allow it)

My list.

94

2D:
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Street Fighter III: Third Strike
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Capcom vs SNK 2
Guilty Gear XX#Reload (even if slash does come out, it won’t be out long enough for people to get used to it)

3D:
Tekken 5
Soul Calibur 3
Virtua Fighter 4
SSBM

95

NeoGeo Battle Coliseum would be nice. I’ve own it for ps2 and it feels pretty much like MvC except with SNK characters and gameplay. It seems pretty balanced too, but I haven’t played it long enough to really say. So far it’s only in Japan, but it’s possible that it might be released in North America as well.

Another game I’d suggest are the Rumble Fish games, but then again that too has only been released in Japan so it’s probably not that well known.

96

For God’s sake, FotNS, PLEASE :lovin:

also:

3S
ST
DOA 4
MvC2
CvS2
A3

97

Geometry Wars for Evo!!

98

3s
ST
T5:DR (likely console release in Spring of 06)
GGXX/ (confirmed release date of Spring 06)
MvC2
CvS2 (don’t people just kinda come out of nowhere to play this game? Like Mole people in hibernation…)

Other games past this point are pruely speculatory. DOA4, KOF, SC, etc. SC3 could be added, and could potentially increase attendence based on how new the game is. However, it could really go either way. Evo attendees wouldn’t flock to it the way mall scrubs would.

IMO, this list reflects the games with the strongest communities. I’m obviously advocating the adoption of GGXX/ as soon as possible, as the community as a whole really wants it. This has been brought up before in the past, and I think the point has been made, but I’ll reiterate. The people who will be seriously playing in the Slash tourney are the same ones who will import it ASAP. If you give a shit about the game, you will find a way to play it. Delaying a version switch actually hinders far more people (in the form of those that would forced to play both versions at the same time), than just outright moving to GGXX/ as soon as possible. Every other tourney in the country is switching to Slash once the Japanese console release hits, anyway. Evo would be the absolute last tourney to not do this.

But like I said before, I honestly believe the Evo staff understand how appealing being dynamic can be by staying up to date. Hopefully Slash will be the game for GG players, we’ll have that figured out and out of the way, and nobody will ever have to talk about it again.

3s has never been stronger in terms of player base and player strength based on the law of averages that comes from that. Will probably be the headliner game of Evo 2k6, along with whatever else that can be done to spice up the event (unique game tourney, hot rivalry, team tournament replacing a main game, etc).

What exactly ARE the thoughts of doing a lot of SBO-style team tournies? 2v2, 3v3, 5v5, doesn’t matter really. The point is that the game that it hypothetically happens to would be a LOT more fun to play in, and to watch. A much broader dynamic in terms of character selection could be seen, regardless of which game. You may even be able to keep it as double elmination because the amount of players would remain the same, but the potential amount of matches could be cut down. However, that would only be logical for a CERTAIN amount of teams. Afterall, say you took 3s numbers from 2k5, which were easily above 300. Well a 5v5 format would average to about 60 teams. That’s a lot of freakin’ teams. Qualifiers would definately have to be in effect, and may not work out at all due to the time constraints.

Perhaps though, you could hold a singles tourney up through pools/qualifiers. Then you have a total of 64 remaining players. Out of those 64 remaining players, you could THEN make up a team tourney. It would work LOGICALLY, but realistically nobody’s ever going to go for that shit. If you qualified, you wouldn’t want to team up with anybody, you’d want to go for the gold.

Most people have already posted these request as well but I’m just adding to them:

Garou: MOTW for PS2/DC/Neogeo AES/MVS - Lots of people play it we just need to make it official so more come to enter and play.

KoF11 for PS2- Game gets a lot of play in the arcades and it would be a great add on to the already many Capcom fighters. I’m sure as soon as it hits console more people will play it for sure.

Team tourney sounds good but singles should still stick with most of the main games.

I second Garou. Its pretty much the SNK equivalent of SF3TS. It seems to have a large fan basis here in the states that keeps growing little by little, problem is. At Evo 2k5, we would have had at least 30 people entering if it wasn’t for that Halo 2 tourney that nobody seemed to know about til it happened. Hell, I’ll even help out with this if it actually makes it.
