2012 EVO Lineup Announcement On 1/3

[Hawkeye]

Besides of course your gonna see the same games because there are a lot of people playing and supporting those games....

That's my point genius. (^_^)b

Yeah, it's pretty sad that half the people in this thread haven't even shown their support for the SC community and are talking about Evo, but whateva. I guess, if you're going to do it, do it big, dawg.

Hmm I might actually be able to go to this one. I can't go to many of these events simply because of current living and job issues but I believe I might be able to get off for this (usually get the first two weeks of July off) and Las Vegas is close enough for me to visit. Now here's hoping SCV is there so I can support it.

what I think is likely for the lineup ;

1. SFxT: (the tekken representative...so many bob mirror matches = no T6 returning)
2. SF4 AE 2012: Guaranteed.
3. UMVC3:
4. Soul Calibur V:
5. BlazBlue Continuum Shift II Extend or KoF13

The problem I see with including SCV is that they are announcing the lineup this early before they see how games do. I'm going to hope that SCV is going to be included but they will be taking a gamble on whether it manages to pick up enough people to support it same with the other games. Either way we will know in a few days. here's hoping SCV makes it.

I was gonna go to devastation in 2011 but being in senior year of College with a full-time job kinda makes that difficult. I had midterms due that weekend for 6 classes and sad to say but school comes first.

I believe kyrt. He seems like a new, trustworthy kinda guy.

Edit: LP was probably referring to peeps who been here for a long time.

It's not like EVO has too many games to showcase since not every fighting game has a healthy offline competitive scene. Plus I haven't heard of space being an issue at EVO for the past few years, unless you were there and can tell me otherwise.

huh?

What guarantee is there for SCV getting in? Game won't be out by the time they've decided, they'd nothing to base their decision on. It'd be as big a risk as running SFxT.

MK was decided to be included in the lineup for EVO 2011 before it was released. Plus I am sure that they were able to get hands on with the game given Ed Boon's intent on wanting to see the game being played at EVO, so they aren't in a situation where they have nothing to base their decision off of.

As for SCV, given that it's a new game that alot of people are excited for and that Tekken 6 isn't being played as much competitively now that people are waiting for Tag 2 to drop, it's likely that it will replace it in the lineup. But we shall see on Tuesday.

As for SFxT, the only concern is the gem system, but there's no real inherent risk to running tournaments for the game since it's still SF at its core.

Have you been to EVO? Relax. And as long as SCV is a great game and gets the support that it needs, people will come out to support it.

I'm sure this will change when SCV drops. Plus who doesn't want to go to Vegas?

My prediction on the lineup:

AE 2012
UMVC3
SCV
MK
KOF XIII
BBCS: Extend

The gem system has me very iffy of SFxT and if it will be taken seriously as a competitive fighter. It's possible it can make the lineup if it takes the place of BB, KOF, or MK.
