This really surprises me, as I thought that Data Miners unveiled Senran Kagura as the new series from names. Really happy Teddie is in because of his zany item playstyle, but the price of the game + the DLC really keeps me away from it, especially how it was all planned from the start! (remember when Weiss and Yang had to be released as free DLC to appease people?)
Also I've heard the DOA stream got canceled midway in. I know mentioning it might be asking for trouble but I feel like they should've seen it coming from a mile away because it's Dead or Alive, a series that is trying to do both "I'm A Fighter" and Fanservice. "Core Values" seems to have become a meme that will probably be used way beyond it's expiration date.
From what this article says (google translated, mind you), it seems like the tournament is a mess all over organization-wise. It's a real shame, because I believe the first EVO Japan loss a ton of money, and it will take a while before these sorts of things make any profit.
