EVO reveals final entrants number per fighting game for its 2019 edition
- Thread starter Dreamboum
- Start date
its such a shame since the reveal trailer made it look like it was going to be a huge improvement in that regard
It'll probably go smoother than Smash games in the past two years of EVO since it's one Smash game this year.
It's not that, tbh.
MK has no asian community. It's very limited overseas in general. A huge number of the entrants across all games came at a time where people did not know whether they would like MK11, or know where the meta will fall, so it's no reflection of how a new game is perceived after it's released.
Something like SamSho for example, I'm guessing, had a majority of it's entrants before it came out and has a lot of crossover with other games. This will probably be the only huge SamSho tournament ever.
Now theres a Switch Lite coming out so you can have twice as many wi-fi matches with everyone on handheld mode at Mcdonalds
It's good. An anime fighter with a very unique system, and a bit less crazy than BB or GG, much more accessible in my opinion.
Good numbers for Ultimate. Really excited for the tournament this year.
Tekken still seeing an increase yoy that's great to see.
SFV numbers ain't bad either though are probably a little hurt by an unexciting Season 4/balance concerns.
Very surprising to see SamSho this high up. That's the biggest SNK tournament ever. I don't find the game very exciting personally but good on the community for showing up.
Also good numbers for MK11. NRS games usually aren't that hot competitively so this is a pretty good result.
The drop for DBFZ from last year was expected unfortunately, I still like to watch the game. Hoping for a hype tournament.
UNIST is a heartwarming success story. That's a community putting the money where their mouth is so to speak.
SCVI seems rather low for its Evo debut which is a shame. I think the game is pretty fun. Oh well.
And finally we have BBTAG. The numbers aren't terrible for the kind of game it is but it's almost a 50% drop from last year which is unfortunate. Especially since I think the game is now in a better place than ever with the current patch.
ArcSys really botched the post-release communication and support for this game.
Still gonna be a fun tourney to watch though in the end.
Overall those are good numbers all around. Personally excited to watch Smash Ultimate, SFV, T7, DBFZ and BBTAG. Sunday's treating me pretty well. Looking forward to that.

More people playing online using wi-fi because there's a dedicated handheld Switch version launching
while sales figures are obviously majorly important, the current Evo record is 5000 and that was by SFV, which had probably barely reached 2 million sold at that point. NRS games also sell far more than SF games and they never hit these highs.
I said "at that point'.
no it's not
It's fantastic. A pretty good middle ground between standard 2D fighting games and flashy anime fighting games and has one of the best tutorials for any fighting game.
You mean between Switch and Switch Lite? Well...yeah lol
edit: Sorry, thought this was about Smash
No I meant Switch to PS4 lol. I'm not playing fighting games in Switch lol.
I dunno if its just that. Sure that shit earlier in the year that killed alot of tournaments when excitement was at is height takes huge responsibility for this games current status, but the gameplay and post launch support itself is probably responsible too.
oh I thought you were talking about Smash U for some reason nvm...
yea u def said Smasho lmao

Damn, great numbers for these games.
Really happy for Tekken that is still growing and for SamSho, I was not expecting those numbers.
And Tekken man, holy hell, pretty much EVERYONE will be there. Even the pools will be insane.
Looking forward for the tournament!

Does anyone know what the split between viewing figures were last year?.. maybe just the finals? I'm wondering how they correlate with the admission numbers..
They would have until July 17th, which is the cutoff point Evo has set for additional balance patches/DLC to be permitted for games featured in the tournament.
With all the negativity surrounding SFV not receiving single a SINGLE update in the entire calendar year of 2019 so far, it's still the No. 2 game. I just hope it's not the LAST game on Sunday. Wiz, please make sure SFV is not the final game on Sunday, cause I'd like to actually get some sleep that night.
Crazy numbers for Sam Sho. Wish it was Sunday. I'm way more interested in it than BB.
Disappointing final number for SC6. Feels like the SC series is going to be one and done yet again. I hope it puts on an amazing show and proves me wrong, but I'd be surprised to see it next year.

When your game with the lowest number of entries sets a record for being the highest in that category then it's a healthy event
Happy to see the UNIST numbers. It was the grass roots push and it's great when they got their shot people showed up
The SamSho numbers are also cool. I agree with people that say it's a great side EVO game to enter and that's driving up the numbers. Fun game that isn't hard to pick up and go

Well, that was unexpected. Altho, a new release gives more people chances to win.
There have been updates, the problem is that none of them have been for anything other than cosmetic content (costumes, stages).
Current interest in SS means it likely would've brought in more viewers, but unlike Arc with more BBTAG characters and a possible unveiling of the next Guilty Gear, there's not really much of anything that SNK would be able to announce (they've detailed the roadmap for S1 of SS in advance, and it doesn't seem likely that they'll be revealing KoF XV just yet).
And Bamco have no one to blame but themselves for SCVI's lackluster competitive scene presence after treating the game as an afterthought compared to T7 and DBFZ, up to and including not being able to finish a season pass with only four characters (three really, considering that Tira was confirmed held back from the main game by order of executives) nearly a year after the game launched.
