There's so many people ******** on other sites about the EVO lineup. No matter what you hear guys, just remember the people who moan about what game is good and what isn't are likely to not even play (let alone understand) either of those games at high level. If you like your game, support it. I support any game that has a following and our following is strong.

1 of the problems is how an unwritten rule/tradition has been broken. Smash got 2 games represented from its own series, neither of which are crossovers (This is post is kind of written in their perspective). That series stole an extra spot that could have been used for another series. Both Smash games promise to bring in a lot of players and views, but then there's an inconsistency of KI3 being there. It's not very popular, let alone as popular as BB, which was the 4th biggest game at EVO last year. Somehow P4AU ended up being the 2nd anime fighter instead of BBCPE. The former is less popular. KOF 13 isn't there as well, which is a really good game. Sadly, it isn't as popular as other fighting games

Modern day competitive gaming isn't about how good the games are. They're more about how popular they are, competitively. In every series, except Smash and CS (CS1.6 vs CSS was an even split, I think), the latest versions of games are always the tournament standard. EVO does the same thing to its fighters and Melee is an exception again. From what I've read online, very few are complaining about Melee's depth, Roukiske

Smash is also a kind of a separate game from the traditional fighters. They have their own scenes all to themselves. They even have their own tournaments separate from each other. Some are complaining about how they infiltrate the FGC's tournaments

Very true, I admit I was one of the ones disappointed in not seeing some games headline (side tournaments I am sure), but I guess that's how it goes. Never thought about the infiltration. Maybe its sort of a transitioning phase from not being included to being included. FGC didn't include Smash in a lot of tournaments and now they are yet we are still hosting our own Smash only events. Maybe there will be less Smash only events down the line.

Excited to see the majority of the lineup are games I play so my happiness is a little biased.
