2012 EVO Lineup Announcement On 1/3

I really don't think gems are gonna be a big issue. I feel the publics reaction is vastly unwarranted. The only thing they have validity on is exclusives which may be an issue. But the concept is completely fine and is really dependent on what the perks are (if they come out stupid, sure go crazy...but people are flipping out at the concept which they shouldn't). The simple fact that it can make mirror matches have some level of diversity is a very appealing fact to me. Until SFxT comes out, we cant judge the competitive aspects of gems. People need to stop seeing innovations as casual appeal and realize they contain competitive potential by adding more depth through personalization of a character template.

I fully expect SFxT to show up simply on new factor and then we can judge from there.
 
Umvc3, sf4ae, scv (3d rep), gemxt (Tekken Rep, new game)

final game is toss between MK (proven but dying) KOF (Proving, but still low) BB (meh) Skullgirls (weaboos will weaboo)
 
MK9 's top players are still playing....don't be ignorant to the scene and there is a lot of people still playing the game as well. MK had the third biggest showing at EVO2K11. Only reason I can see it not being at EVO is if they decide that KOF is more worthy.
 
Evo is getting way too small to host all these freaking games. Even if SCV gets in. The fact that no game outside of Capcom's hits is guaranteed to have a spot bothers me greatly.

SCV stands a good chance being new. But how about next year when TTT2 hits or whatever other newer fighter? That's a lot of games to showcase. There's just not enough room to give light to all these games.

Something to think about. This formula is getting outdated real fast. The FGC either needs 2 EVOs a year, or some other competitor. Too many communities relaying on this one tournament to keep their games relevant.
