Side note: It's fucking torture that the two fighting games I'm most interested in rn, SamSho and GBVS, don't have PC ports. I have an Xbox for SamSho but... lol

EVO 2020 details and game lineup to be revealed February 4th (7 PM PST)
- Thread starter NotLiquid
- Start date
I see, i just think that Injustice 3 is not even in the realms of possibility, this could be MK11 final ride at EVO indeed, but not because of Injustce.
I believe Ed stated more than once that they plan on supporting MK11 for longer than any other game, and season 2 is around the corner. I believe that NRS next title won't come anytime sooner than 2022(and by that i mean an announcement). Future might prove me wrong, we will see.
I feel you so much. I can play GB and SamSho on my PS4 but I want to use my fightstick and I only have a crummy cheaply made one for PS3/PC
Predictions
---Guarantees---
Smash Ultimate
Tekken 7
SFV
------Likely---
MK11
SamSho
GranBlue
UNICLR
----Long Shot---
SCVI
BB Tag
---Left Out---
DBFZ
Melee
Edit: I hope Puyo Puyo and Ultra Fight Da! Kyanta 2 get featured on the side stage this year.

I just bought Battle for the Grid Monday and the gameplay is awesome. The only thing hurting it is that the presentation is lack luster and the graphics are a little on the plain side. But the combat and move animations look fantastic.
I don't think they are even working on a PC port. I think the director said the team really wants a STEAM port, but they're focus right now is on the console release. But I'm with you on wanting to play this on PC.

I don't think it'll happen but it would be amazing if it did. I feel like the hype for the game kinda went down a little as people are unsure when the damn game is even supposed to come out.
I don't expect the line-up to change all that much from last year, there hasn't been much that came out and made waves or died since. I'm curious if they'll make room for Grandblue Fatasy Versus since it comes out in JP a little before, though if I expect if they do it'll likely boot out UNIEL or BB-Tag
I really hope we get some concrete news on the new King of Fighters XV by then, hopefully so that it's playable on the floor with some announcement trailers showcased.

I think they want to avoid releasing a game so late in the gen, and would rather have something fully cooked for next gen. Supporting MK11 up until then definitely suits em. Maybe they'll do a PS4/Xbox One release of whatever is next, but with all the focus on next gen version.
This would be so sick, I would have to attend again this year too. Melee in 2020 is looking ridiculous. Let's gooooooo!
Realistically though, I imagine they would wait 2-3 years before bringing Melee back, but god damn would it be awesome if it was there this year.
Posting this here because it's an amazing doc:
Just fired up SC6 last night after only playing on release and thats about it. This current version is fun and I really liked watching it at EVO Japan so I hope it makes it in.
Anyone got a link to some quality Granblue matches? I'm on the fence about it despite it dropping this week here. I don't follow this franchise at all so wanna parse if it'd be something I'd be down to try.

Best year in terms of whats happening behind the scenes+results maybe, but we seem to have lost both EVO and CEO to Ultimate.

The Frosty Faustings tournament got just uploaded by Spooky a day ago. Keep in mind this is still prerelease but still there is some decent gameplay here:
Thanks for the link! I thought I heard about an event doing a pre-release tourney but could not think of which.
I think given the tour, and an Edge Master + event announced but not confirmed, SCVI is safely in as the Edge Master+ event.
If the EM+ wasn't announced, I'd be certain SCVI was not at EVO. I mean, there's a chance they could put the + event as a LCQ, but that's unlikely.
I'd move Samsho down to the longshot portion. Game has a great competitive scene but it's viewership and entrants are worse than Soulcalibur I think and last years high numbers at evo were partly to do with hype with it replacing melee and it being free to sign up. What have the entrants been like since?
I want Soulcalibur because having only 1 3d fighter is a bit sad.
Including Samsho and the 4 at the bottom, they seem like the games that are going to struggle to be at Evo.
The finals for the world tour are confirmed to be at EVO so basically that game was already confirmed even though it's only going to be top 8
I love to play and watch the game. Different strokes for different folks, not that hard to grasp.
Not having those is lame, but with CEO Dreamland and all of the Smash focused Majors I don't think it's a big deal tbh (definitely whack tho). I personally would rather attend a tournament in vegas vs anywhere else.
Seriously, whack AF
Sooo gooood. I hope these two are at their best at Evo. That Genesis GF were the hypest I've seen for Ultimate.
Prediction:
Street Fighter V: Champion Edition
Tekken 7: Fated Retribution
Soul Calibur VI
Mortal Kombat 11
Dragon Ball Fighter Z
Samurai Showdown
UNIST
Granblue Fantasy Versus
Super Smash Bros Ultimate
Hmm not so interesting. Very safe.
I'd prefer no smash obviously, and dragonball I'd swap with BBtag and I think Dead or Alive 6 should have had a chance on the big stage last year.
What I'd like: Evo adds a day and. Shows multiple older and smaller games as mainline games.
ST, CVS2, 3rd Strike, Alpha 3, Project Justice, KOF 94, 98, XIV, DOA 6, Virtua Fighter 5, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, Ultimate MK III

FighterZ is still getting support with both DLC & its competitive circuit, so I feel like it'll get one more year. But if DBFZ somehow doesn't return, I'd imagine that BBTag will get its spot.Press F for DBFZ
DoA5LR never getting a main game spot atleast once will always suck since it was fantastic.
DoA as a series is a great way to get into fighting games, better than Tekken for example, and had a consistent female presence in tournaments for years before anyone even gave a fuck about it and at a higher level than the other games.
Ironically it's bemoaned for the sexy girls in skimpy clothes bullshit but every girl I ever met playing it loved that element.
I haven't been a big fan of it since 2, but it definitely doesn't get it's due.
MrWiz and company don't want to drag CRTs to their venue. And also other non-HD fighting games (read everybody but Melee) have moved on to flatscreens thanks to line doublers like the OSSC or DCHDMI.
This is an argument that Melee - one of the most active current fighting games - isn't at EVO because those in charge think that it's too much work (despite there being considerable resources to make this happen evidenced by it having happened in the past) masquerading as an argument that Melee at EVO is impossible.
By the way, in the category "non-HD fighting games" Melee is by far the largest, so it doesn't really mean much that the non-Melee players have moved on to flatscreens. This is to say nothing of the dubiousness of that assertion, which is also an issue.
just because it happened in the past doesn't mean they want to keep doing it in the future
Nope, many of the classic game crowd, be it on Supergun or Dreamcast or PS2 have already moved on to flatscreens.
Take a look at TeamSpooky's setup of 10 DCHDMI modded Dreamcasts, and then tell me if they're still going to play Marvel 2 or CvS2 on CRTs.
Of course there will be.
With all characters from Smash Melee, Brawl, Smash 4, plus almost all stages from Smash 1-4 & Smash 3DS in HD?
Ultimate's the new Melee now.

The thruth is that most of the FGC are really indifferent to melee and smash because both of these communities are really insular and have very tiny crossover with other fighting games(to be fair newer smashes like ultimate have better crossover), and the TOs are the ones who choose what games goes to the main stage most of the FGC TOs have been dropping melee of their line up because of this and because of ultimate being big enough on its own so they can still host 1 platform fighter.
