Super Smash Brothers Melee NOT Confirmed for EVO 2014

I could buy it. Late June/Early July release for SSB4 sounds reasonable.

I don't think so. Especially at the snails pace they're announcing characters. Only 22 Characters have been announced so far. Brawl had 35 playable characters. Yes they did mention potential cuts but there are still a lot of veterans they have yet to announce. Maybe they won't reveal all of the characters pre-release and have it be a surprise.

For what it's worth, some people are suspecting that they might do some sort of Super Smash Bros 4 Exhibition just before the Melee Top 8 or something if it gets the go ahead, and might be like...I dunno, doing a character reveal at the event too. I admit I'm not holding my breath on that, but I could see that as being something that could be good for all involved parties.

They don't have to announce every character in the game before they release it.

Keep it civil, people.

We wouldn't want Nintendo thinking that we're a very aggressive and angry community.

Yeah, I agree. My tweet was as follows

Please, oh please let melee be played at EVO this year. Show some love to your most dedicated fanbase.

The fact that they have a slot reserved for Melee shows a lot to me. They actually care.
Doesn't mean that Blazblue or Injustice took a spot from it or anything.
Hopefully Nintendo will listen, it would certainly be taken very well.

Nintendo seriously need to throw their diehard fans a bone.

At least they held a spot for it

 

[Ussi]

Whatever happens I'm ready to watch

 

[Jigabar]

True enough

Maybe is time to put Brawl in EVO, I bet everyone will love watching all mental aspects of this game.

Almost spit my water at work

It's hard to appreciate the "mental aspect" of watching two metaknights flying under the stage and popping up on the other side.

I love both watching and playing Melee and PM, but I seriously think if the community re-banned MK then it would make Brawl WAY more interesting and open up a lot more viable matchups. It might also manage to give the game a longer (ish) lifespan, since Smash 4 is coming and all.

Well, time to play the waiting game.

I have no idea why Injustice got in at all... The game is as anti hype as you can get as far as 2D fighters are concerned. That spot should have gone to Skullgirls.

Why do you say that?
