I hate stupid stuff like this. What the hell makes SSB:M a party game? the way to win is you FIGHT your opponent! aside from it not being a “standard” fighting game (god forbid should the formula ever change!) I’ll never understand the hate for smash on this board.
Long story short Smash should be a part of Evo (assuming MLG dosen’t keep a firm grip on it)
Yeah dude, I know what you mean. Alot of fighting game fans don’t consider SSBM a fighting game due to how it’s set up. What’s even worse is the reasons why it’s not a fighting game. :arazz:
But that’s life. :wasted: :lame:
But I still don’t see SRK competing with MLG for SSBM, not when MLG offers (late but still) bigger cash prizes for it. Especially if they’re going to work together.
As of now SC3 is a terribly broken game, if they fix it on the 360 I’ll play it assuming one of my friends has the 360, hehe.
As for DOA4, they’re all the same. You think wow, this game looks amazing, but I really wish the gameplay wasn’t dog crap. Wait for the next one, looks better, same dog crap gameplay. I don’t think that’ll ever change.
And yeah, Smash Bros would be a great addition, but from what I’ve heard 2d-fighter hardcores hate it (Who knows why). Also, MGL hosts smash tourneys at evo, just not as part of evo.
Crapcom
CvS2- Aviailability/ Popularity. Not much to say about it.
SF3: TS- (Arguably) The worlds most popular fighter. Don’t like it, but hey.
MvC2- Very popular in the U.S… Sure to draw a sizeable crowd, though I certainly won’t be among them. I must admit there are no games like it.
SFEX3- A very interesting, though not to popular, game. Mostly for novelty.
SNK
KoF XI- Novelty. A great game. Hopefully, it will be released for console soon, after which I am more than sure its popularity will shoot up tremendously.
Garou: MotW- Relatively popular, though it recieves little notoriety for it.
Namco
SC3- The draw of this game is NOT gameplay, it is the character creation system. It makes for an interresting addition to the fighting game scene. Besides, if Evo was really about the fighting aspect, MvC2 wouldn’t be so popular.
Tekken DR- um… its a Namco game so… If its not out on console, don’t even bother with T5.
** Others **
Guilty Gear slash- I have nothing to say about this game.
Naruto-Naruto is the BEST game in the genre BY FAR (compared to One Piece and Inuyasha). Very fun, very addivtive, very easy to pick up. Kakashi pwns forever.
Smash Brothers- I hate Smash Brothers, but its more readily available in the U.S. and the tourney scene is, for some insane reason, relatively large.
I think there would be enough interest from the smash community to enter one more tournament all year in addition to those that MLG throws. There’s more incentive too, with all the major tournament-worthy fighters being played as well (and it is the biggest one around). At this point, I don’t think anyone knows outside of a few if the partnership with MLG will be continued for the next Evo.
I think it’ll probably happen again.
what most people hate to admit is the smash scene is bigger than many of the games EVO has and will most likely get bigger when smash for the Rev is out. My vote still goes to SSB:M and (I know this is a long shot but) even though many are saying SC3 is broken (I don’t know if it’s because of VCs or whatever) but how about a custom character tounament?
If you run a GGXX Slash tournament in standard format, force character choices at sign-up.
I don’t see the reasoning in this, unless you’re completely trying to follow the Japanese format. It’s an American tournament with counter picks, which still take learning a second/third character to fight with, but if the majority players go with this format, more power to them.
I wouldn’t mind being forced to use Johnny all day really, but still, this would be something to discuss with a lot of players before a final decision would be made.
i tihnk you should include
Capcom Fighting Jam
Super Smash Bros Melee
and
Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen! 4
My revised list
SF3:3rd Strike
CvS2
MvC2
GGXX Slash
Samurai Tenka
Neo-Geo Battle Coliseum
Virtua Fighter 4: FT
Tekken 5: DR if it is out (I really don’t know). If not then KOF 11 if that is out then.
SSBM might attract new people, but I don’t really like it being compared to 3D fighters such as Tekken and VF4. Fuck that Naruto noise as well.
tekken tag
tekken 5 or tekken 5:DR
more places for casual play to…I was wandering around trying to play casuals but at each tv there was like 10+ people waiting in line at a couple of points in time. Or perhaps more TVS for BYOC.
hahahah yeah let’s play Fighting jam and a shitty naruto game COOLZ
**xmvsf **because the game has been making a comeback this past year and will blow up at evo. many mvc2 players have gotten into this game.
Then for the love of god, let the discussions begin.
You know, if they “postpone” EVO until late October, you can open up the chance to play MK:Armageddon. Just a thought, nothing serious or anything, just a mere thought to think on. That and i could kick your arses with Reiko, Stryker, Kai, and Rain once again.
I wouldn’t even postpone getting a labotomy to play that piece of shit.
Aside from the ‘japan uses it!’ rule, i’m not sure there has been a clear case for it. I think people assume a lot of things that aren’t true, and in some cases, people will get the opposite of what they think they are getting. For starters, limiting character choices and overall creativity.
