>actual evo and ten irrelevant spinoffs
I have no idea what's even happening but literally none of this shit matters other than normal Evo and maybe Evo Japan since it was the spiritual successor to SBO and Japan is where 95% of the players are.

Evo has been garbage since 2016

I hate how big evo has become.
It is one of the shittiest tournies to attend both as a competitor and a spectator, ridiculously overpriced and only getting more expensive.
It was just an excuse to visit vegas anyway.

What's wrong with having EVO in more countries?
Isn't a big problem with the "competitive" side of the FGC that there are tons of people who'd like to compete, but can't because they can't afford to keep taking flights to Vegas every year?

iirc you had that situation years ago with how Tekken apparently has a ton of monster players in fuckin Pakistan, but nobody knew until some rando from the country was able to scrounge up enough money to go to EVO one year and stomp everyone. And now with more of these major tournaments around the globe, you could discover more of these unknown fightan hotspots.

That's the problem. All these irrelevant Evos have money and backing from people that have literally infinite money and are willing to burn it to build good PR for the Saudis. Essentially this means that any tournament other than Evo is going to shut down because why fly out of your country to get $500 for top 8 in the usual community owned tournaments barely being ran by one or two individuals when you can get 5k by playing the sixth Evo of the year ran by an insanely rich megacorporation?

I don't think every single event needs to be something where the globe is watching.
Having an EVO filled mostly with Moroccans and watched by the people of that country along with the surrounding ones is interesting to me, and also these fgc player sponsors could discover new talent that they could send off to the "real" EVO in Vegas.

It's like saying that the NPB, KOB and Mexican Baseball League shouldn't exist because most people only watch the MLB.

The issue with this is on the other side where now, everyone who isn't a sponsored top player (who is basically mandated to go to since the actual CASH PRIZES at EVO are still fucking atrocious which is why they need sponsors to begin with) still only flies out to the one EVO, so you still never really get to interact with the people in these other scenes. At best maybe 1 guy gets noticed and then gets sponsored himself I think.
The other thing about this that gets me is people saying this grows local scenes. It's one tournament a year that you have to pay to go to and the beneficiary isn't part of your scene or even your country, they just paid to rent space for a weekend. If you already had a scene, shouldn't you just invest into that since you'll be playing there the other 11 months of the year too since you can't fly out?

That is how sports (and business) in general work anon, they get more popular and expand globally.
Soccer started out with some random browns kicking a ball around in a dirt field and then now you have stadiums of people watching that shit. Same with Esports going from LAN Tournaments in your local community center to global tournaments that pack arenas.

I get missing the "grassroots", but desu the comp fighting game scene hasn't been that for fucking years. Even your precious locals all have the aspiration to become the next Combo Breaker and then then next EVO instead of being held in someone's garage for the next 20 years.

I think they are grossly, grossly overestimating the popularity of fighting games and it will be 2 years max before it's dialed back into what it is now.

I'm reminded of the e-sports boom. Trying to capitalize on a high point, but it will ultimately fail because the FGC can't gain momentum. SF6 is mid. GG Strive is getting on in its years. How many more times can they bring back umvc3. Tekken, while getting more popular, isn't going to carry the numbers they need. So on and so forth. Nothing new that's coming out can gain traction, 2XKO is flop and its not even out yet.

There's money to be made here, but it's important to realize its a very, very short window that will SLAM SHUT in short order. The absolute audacity for a 5 year plan is unreal.

I'll laugh when no one watches half of these along with weak attendance and then they have to cut them the following year.

They could have just changed the event location yearly if they wanted to make it more global.

thats why the key to growing fighting games isn't in actual game releases, its in making fighting game tournaments more accessible. this is only a good thing. anyone whining about prestige is missing the point. saudi prince is actually a fighting game autist, its the one thing he actually does care about he was a massive kof and aof mark.

fighting games were always centralized around USA and Japan and that worked for a long time, but it was also a clear limiter to how many people could actually join the irl fgc

I'd believe
>>733756504

Over you any day, it sounds much more plausible. I strongly believe the decision to expand abroad is because they see that they've hit the ceiling where attendance/engagement is concerned with the event in the states and the only way to go is down if they remain based in the US.

Smart move, dont get me wrong, its just telling because I dont think the FGC has an upward trajectory in the states.

Your IRL FGC is wherever you play. Doesn't matter if the big names are there or not. Your "fighting game community" consists of the people you play against and the people who give you the opportunity to play against them. If you already had that, this is just one opportunity a year to fight different people. Which is fun enough, people flew out to other countries for smaller events for smaller games or those with a different kind of prestige too, but it's not going to grow your own scene either.

Saudis want to go global and this a non negotiable probably so when thinking within that framework you either add a bunch of set tournaments around the world or change the event location annually. I'm saying that by adding all these locations the local scene may benefit but without popular players attending the overall global interest in these event will be weak. So then to me these events won't be prestigious thus leaving the fighting game world championship as the big event which is closed bracket leaving that unique niche evil had gone. So basically if these scenes don't take off in a big way with the locals then the plans failed but I do suspect EVO China to do well no matter what.

This. It also gives away that they're not a fighting game player. The people stuck at the door are always obsessed with the highest level and if they can be fast tracked there. If it's not EVO and the top players or e-cel*bs, they don't consider it real fighting games, so they never start and never get anywhere.

So EVO is just gonna snuff out all other tournaments, right? That's the goal I'm going to presume, there is not need for a billion different EVOs. I can MAYBE understand splitting it across US, EU, and JP, but the rest are completely unnecessary and only serve to monopolize players. Making EVO EU and JP was already doing damage but this will only me more fuel on the fire.

I'm 100% for it, and don't give a fuck about "MUH BLOOD MONEY."
Have the best of the best from each region go to the world championship for what is effectively an fgc world cup? I think that's a great idea as long as it has money and competence behind it. My only real concern is the Saudi Evo given that they've been badly fucking up logistics and layouts at other major "blood money" events like WWE PPVs.
Anyone claiming this will destroy local tournaments entirely is a zoomer who doesn't know the OG scene. That said depending on how aggressive they are and if they collude with other companies it may genuinely end up destroying streamed locals via exclusive tournament rights for certain games but I don't really see them doing that and destroying free advertisement. Unless Nintendo jumps back on board.

In Japan that's normal. Big events are routinely PPV and restreaming is banned except they can show the timer so people who'd rather have someone else's commentary can sync the streams. The problem came when they tried to push that bullshit on the rest of the world for the biggest event of the year and suddenly found out it was literally only Japan that was cucked enough to ever put up with that.

Tekken 8 fucking sucks dog dick and doubled down on everything event attendees said sucked about 7, its gotten so bad they're basically going back on most of their choices in the next patch so we'll see how that goes I guess but meh.

Any fighting game with numbers is just ranked drones emotionlessly slamming rematch into the void without any hype or substance to it. The games just don't appeal to the type of person who wants to leave their house anymore.

You get this in any game without some sort of throw OS.

Every fighting game dev now thinks ANY kind of OS is evil and must be removed instantly at all costs no matter what because...this is all they want anyone to do.
SFIV without crouch tech would have looked like this, BBCF without throw OS would look like this, GGAC/Xrd without throw OS would look like this as would tons of other games.

You either give players a throw OS or give them generous throw protection on wakeup. This allows you to design characters with more verbose and interesting mixup tools because you've ingrained a lack of true throw 50/50's into the system by default so you expect people to make their own way in depending on their characters options...which is why they don't do it. Because everything needs to play the same across all fighting games to maximize profit margins.

All of the big companies (Capcom, Bandai, Arcsys, SNK) have met behind closed doors and agreed this is how they need to design their games to be successful and sell more because if people can play every game as a "plus on block > strike/throw" simulator they will be more likely to buy other franchises games and also DLC passes. I know I'm right, they all just do the same shit in every game for a reason.
