Evolution 2019 - The Fighting Game Tournament of the Year

+ everytime I've seen Wishes pull out joker he loses, so there's that as well
You could pretty much say the same thing about Solid Snake.
Smash is exceptionally balanced. In the top 20 of the PGR, if we only look at mains and not secondaries, only 2 characters appear more than once (3 olimars and 2 Snakes). And in general in top 50 including secondaries there's a lot of the roster represented
"Smash is closing EVO? GOOD now I can go to bed early"
Oh well, we're all free now ^_^
Fuck the melee fans rooting for this to bomb, I'm glad Ultimate killed it this year.
Oh come on, did you really expect-
Umm... Nevermind then. Nintendo doesn't do EVO. Simple as that.
Good thing that Smash was last so that everyone could go to sleep.
Oh wait.
So much for people saying...
Dammit.
Props to the Evo production team for leaving out SamSho during the ending video package. I see you
People mad that Melee didn't make it in. Not necessarily here but in other places on the internet.

Just to check... Did SFV or Tekken 7 also beat out Fortnite? Because that's pretty big if even for just a short time you had Smash overthrow Fortnite on Twitch Viewership.
Pretty sure there's going to be some changes in the production team considering the amount of issues we got during this year's EVO...
Oh, I was complimenting them because of who won Samsho.
The production issues were unfortunate, but as they say, streaming is a blowup. I think they did the best they could.
Whoever was in charge of the ad breaks for MK11 (some WB suit I bet) deserves to get canned though. Ruined that top 8 completely
Before I go to bed I want to say great tournament top to bottom.
As for 2020, I don't see any major changes to the lineup, mainly given that we are inching towards the end of the generation.
Locks:
Street Fighter V
Tekken 7
Smash Ultimate
Dragonball FighterZ
Mortal Kombat 11
Soul Calibur VI
Probably Safe:
Blazblue Cross Tag Battle (I only hesitate just in case Guilty Gear releases early next year, but with 2.0 coming out in November this should stick around for at least one more year)
Wild Card:
Samurai Showdown
Under Night in Birth
We will probably see at most two changes to the lineup. KOF XV doesn't have a release window so unless someone pulls a Mortal Kombat (announces in December, releases in April) there won't be a new game in the field. Any changes would have to come with already released games.
Either way goodnight my friends and game on! Maybe this time I will dedicate myself to getting better at Street Fighter

Previous record was DBFZ last year at 257k.
I wasn't sure how viewership would go for Smash with it having the ending slot and the divide between it and traditional fighters, but it did great.
Smash Ultimate is a faster game overall, so the matches take less time.
Because even with 2 stocks sometimes the games went to time
it doesn't need EVO. Its a game that's getting around 1k entrants 17 yrs after launch, and will continue to outlast every other fighting game.
I'd say SoulCalibur 6 is more of a wildcard than SamSho. Sadly, not a lot of people are into SC6 :(
Granblue is gonna knock FighterZ out of there.
SamSho is a lock after this year (like BBTag was after last year)
Granblue seems more likely to me for showing up, I'm not expecting Guilty Gear to be out by then.
i have to be honest, i suck in fighting games, never play them and overall not interested, so i never watched EVO before...BUT MAN a friend of mine make me watch this smash ultimate final and i was instalnty hooked, i jumped, screamed like this was a soccer game, cheered that mexican guy, THAT COMEBACK OMG, that was amazing, i really enjoyed it, so much talented players...now i cant wait for next EVO
