To be fair King of Fighters has a lot of double half circle and half circle + quarter circle back etc type motions. I've noticed most games nowadays seem seem to trend toward simpler motions like just quarter circles and dragon punch motions. King of Fighters in particular also always seemed kinda strict about it's inputs.
Also, honesly I've always felt keyboard is more accurate than a d-pad for motions.
Even the latest VF is like 8 years old now... :(
Never. Because they don't need to. Its already interesting and makes its own hype. It doesn't need any gimmicks.
I can't wait to see what MVC:I does with DLC announcements sometime though. Game got way more fun once the 6 dlc were in. It really could use more stuff. The layoffs and cancellations at Capcom have me worried but this game did do a million so its not like its bad to keep pushing it.
Spinning the joystick is the fastest way to get out of stun in SFV.
Let me win all 7 Dragon Balls so I can wish MvCI back to life.
Marvel was already wished once, it cannot be wished back again
i said it on twitter, but i'd be shocked if Infinite makes it in
and if it does, it damn sure isn't making it to sunday
and if it does, it damn sure isn't making it to sunday
pretty sure dende remaking the dragon balls changed that ruling
If they truly lock it at 7 games I don't think MvCI makes it. It's #8 on any version of my list. I would feel kinda bad if it doesn't make it and then Capcom shocks us with further DLC or support for the game, but at that point I'd imagine they'd make an exception to let it in.
Are there any new titles coming out before Evo that would be a serious consideration?

Sounds about right, but I think there's very small chance that there is only 7 games. So I'm fully expecting Marvel to get in
I think so. I just don't think it gets a Sunday slot.
RedBull loves cool things.
SF is cool
MvC3 is cool
MvCI is not cool
I don't understand the point of Reversal Edges in Soulcalibur 6. It's a focus attack that becomes a DBZHyper Dimension clash on hit, except the attacker wins if it ties? Uh, why would you want to do that?
Attacker only wins if there is a 2nd tie. And RE exists for the sake of casuals. At a high level I think it's a huge risk (because of its linearity) and a mediocre reward.
I haven't played it yet, but from watching videos I despise the extent to which it breaks the flow of the match.
How can anyone disagree? The stages in DBFZ are the dullest shit. True to the show, but that doesn't make them good.
If you make a hard read against an opponent that you feel is going to attack you with a non-guard break attack or throw, the RE will auto-block and get some guaranteed damage before you enter the RPS mini-game. However, if the RE guaranteed damage is the killing blow, you won't need to enter the RPS mini-game where you can potentially take damage. That is what I'm theorizing its best utility. The risk is that if your read is wrong and your opponent didn't attack, they can easily sidestep and punish you with probably anything.
Okay, so going back to the archiving of information versus social media dilemma I talked about a few weeks ago:
Here's an idea: what if a forum, such as SRK, had a "Share" button similar to Youtube that allowed a topic creator to publish their thread on Twitter/Facebook/Discord/ etc.? Or hell, even allowed users outside the topic creator to publish posts in a similar fashion?

the only important stage is training stage, and that's because it should be mandatory to ban it from all competition
some forums on more modern software already have that
My personal 7 for this...
SF5: AE
Smash Wii U
Tekken 7
Injustice 2
KOF14
DBFZ
MvC:I
That seems to cover every niche and stay as current and modern age as humanly possible.

I don't see how KoF is worth putting up. It was bare bones in its first year.
Cutting Melee is just ridiculous. Cutting Marvel makes way more sense.
If we base it on numbers from post EVO tournaments then KOF and GG are most likely to get the boot in US EVO. Injustice 2 comes in next and after that is MVCI (which has put decent to good numbers in the big tournaments). KoF has consistently put the worst numbers.
Also don't know about the status of Blazblue Cross Tag and Kof Waifu fighters. One of them might be thrown in as the yearly surprise announcement.
My last ditch prediction for EVO (9 games):
SFV
Melee
Smash 4
DBZF
Tekken 7
Injustice 2
GGXrd
MVCI
BlazBlue Cross Tag (if it's considered otherwise KOF for final slot)
These 9 games would appease most people I would imagine. They have had 9 games twice in a row so far and this year we have the highest number of big name fighters out, would be a disservice not to have 9 games.

The only reason to ever cut Melee is for a logistical reason (like if the other games are way too demanding to hold a tourney for that they can't reasonably also handle Melee plus CRTs)
The game has tons of entrants and tons of viewers and the crossover between it and Smash Wii U is pretty minimal.

i dunno, i don't run any forums
i know gaf had it before the exodus, and i think the coli has it too
Haven't both of those games been dropping off faster than normal for the past year or so? EVO 2017 Smash turnout in particular was down by almost 50% compared to 2016.
I am a bit biased though because I just got sick of dealing with the Melee scene on a local level and really wish they would just retreat back into their own spaces in general.
