Registrations for both Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 fall almost to half compared to number of competitors in 2025. The speculated reasons for this collapse are:>economy is so shit that many Americans don't want or just can't afford to pay to travel to and stay in Las Vegas>non-Americans are hesitant to travel to USA right now>some drop-outs might be boycotting the event because it is Saudi owned nowhttps://www.polygon.com/evo-2026-fewer-competitors/
>>741313606They dug the hole themselves. They decided to make a bunch of spin-off EVO tournaments in other regions and now no one wants to bother flying around the world to attend all of them when they could just go to the ones near them instead.
>>741313606Wow, no one wants to go to the lovely city of Las Vegas and compete, all for the measly price of $2-5k.
>>741313606No shit? Fighting games are boring to play and boring to watch.
I can't wait for the day where they stop posting the player numbers the same way Blizzard did years ago, THATS when you know things have gotten really bad.
>>741313606Nigga the reason is they split evo into 4 events
Saudi-owned? Wow.That aside, I wouldn't want to fucking go into a place where retarded people with guns can just kidnap you with zero reason, zero recourse, zero knowing if you'll even leave.
>Blazblue still at EVO with only 248 entrants>Rivals of Aether II clears 1000 entrants>No Melee Okay?
>>741313616>Almost everything cut in half or worse
>>741314102The only place where Smashers should be allowed in is a mass grave
>>741313606>>741313616fucking lmaothat looks terrible.
>>741313606>non-Americans are hesitant to travel to USA right nowa lot of people went there for the world cup though>some drop-outs might be boycotting the event because it is Saudi owned nownobody is boycotting shit lol
>>741314994>a lot of people went there for the world cup thoughsurely you understand the difference between the most popular sport in the world and a small subset of video games kept alive exclusively by nostalgic arcade apes
>>741313606>Trump is literally killing evo as wellSad.
>>741315168no one is afraid of going there, leftie
>>741313606I went there for the first time in 2023. I even stayed at the Mandalay. It cost somewhere between $1000 and $2000. Never again will I make such a horrible fucking mistake.
Trump's economy
>>741313606are they still playing COVID hysteria and forcing everyone to wear face diapers? the last one i watched they were still doing that years after everyone else moved on so i haven't watched since
>>741315471>international tourism to the United States has declined significantly. Industry analyses report a drop of roughly 4 to 5 million foreign visitors, leading to an estimated loss of tens of billions of dollars in international visitor spending>While the U.S. experiences an inbound tourism decline, global travel is booming elsewhere. Travelers are increasingly choosing alternative destinations in Europe, Asia, and Oceania
fighting games are a stale genre desu
>fill out a form wrong once, ICE detains you>vegas expensive as fuck>three separate evo tournaments nowyeah no wonder why people arent coming
>>741313606I'm thinking it's time for a comeback
>>741313606>>741313616The world cup is literally full to the brim. People will come here if they want. Maybe people just don't like the fighting games are finally truly dying.

>>741313606nice. let the cancer die.
>>741313606Just move it out of Vegas. Vegas is a disgustingly overpriced scam that nobody in their right mind wants to go to anymore.
>>741316394>The world cup is literally full to the brim.i know some mexicans who sold their car and half the shit they own to buy tickets for the world cup, i doubt people will do the same to go to fucking evo
>>741315168Pretty sure people who dedicate their lives to fighting games are more willing to travel the world for a tournament than some obese brown family wanting to get suffocated in a crowdAnd guess what You will never be a woman
>multiple evos around the world now so don't have to travel to murica in fucking las vegas>economy in the shitter>people act surprised by this
>>741313606>non-Americans are hesitant to travel to USA right nowyep, there aren't hordes of yuros and browns over here watching their divegrass right now
>>741313606> non-Americans are hesitant to travel to USA right nowWorld Cup right now says otherwise. The real problem is there are like 7 evos a year now.
>>741313606Fighting games suck ass, the only good ones ever were Soulcalibur 1, 2, and 4. The genre should never have gotten big.
>>741313616>>741313606>Evo was the one major tournament of the year>Everyone goes to it>Decide to make a dozen different Evos in a dozen different countries>Everyone goes to whatever one is closest now>Main Evo attendants dropwaow how could this happen
>>741318485This is like trying to explain per capita to redditors. They see the headline and ignore all other information
Its saudi owned. Fuck EVO. Fuck dunmers.
>>741313606evo is just kind of a shitty event now. sony tried to milk it for advertiser dollars and made the attendant & spectator experience way worse in the process.idk how many people want to shell 5 grand to be trapped in an arena watching chipoltle ads for 16 hours. and honestly for what you'd spend in vegas you can just go to japan
>>741316137>Travelers are increasingly choosing alternative destinations in Europe, Asia, and OceaniaAh, so we're calling them """travelers""" now? Very sneaky, WEF!
>>741318485people are supposed to go to all EVOs not pick only 1, how do we fix this?
>travel to drown in pools>in Nevada>during the height of summer>while Vegas has been ramping up prices for everything>there's a random chance you will be denied entry because the orange gestapo checked your phone for wrongthink>you might even be snatched off the streets and put in a campWho wouldn't love that.Keep in mind many seats in the soccer world cup matches are empty. They could have sold many more tickets. People just hate the retards in charge.
ISSA GOLDEN AGE
>>741314213You do realize that RoA is smash but with an even higher concentration of furries and trans players?
>>741313606>people get to watch from home>people get to watch from phones>people get to watch from work>"WTF WHY IS NO ONE JOINING"
>>741313606>PS5 tournamentsFighting games should go for PC
>>741313616Murray literally killded tekken
>>741314213>The only place where Smashers should be allowed in is a mass graveBASED
>>741313606>>741313616SF6 has had the same stale meta since 2022. I'm not surprised it's lost attention.
SF6 murdered the FGC? The arabs did or something.t.polygroid
>>741320076>Murray literally killded tekkenHe wasn't a dev, he doesn't know anything about programming, just a producter, blame the fired devs.
>>741320847we both know that is not true
>VenueGetting to and from the airport to your hotel is already an uber ride, -$70 or so. The hotels blocks are all spread over (previous EVOs being in one hotel's convention center), in a very bad part of Vegas. Last year, I saw three transients either dead, or being hospitalized. This is supposedly a tourney for all ages, but you got bums ODing right there in the sight of tourists. So you can't really do too many parties, as the hotels near the con center require keys to use the elevators (again because of the bums abusing and hiding in the halls/stairs), which make things a logistical nightmare (since no one wants to go up and down and up). Nor can you go hotel hopping because again, bad hood. And we're not even covering food, which is marked up highly because it's on the strip. Going off strip means an uber, which is another $60 per ride due to Strip.AND the hotel costs, which are through the fucking roof, since it's Vegas and on the strip.To do what? Get drunk and mash? Drown in pools? It's a 5k trip if you're competing and getting your own hotel room. Unless you know people, you ain't doing shit. And the allure of meandering around the hotels, bouncing from party to party just isn't happening. It's not the red rock, rio, westgate or mandalay days anymore, that shit is long gone.
>>741313606Evo Japan should just become the main Evo at this point, they already got more entrants.
>>741313606Gee I wonder why
>>741313616>8,926 entrants>10,755Oh no. A fucking drop of 1,829 entrants. Are we really pretending EVO is on the verge of collapse?
>>741318601But I did have breakfast this morning
>>741314102I don't know why people fail to understand that having to lug around CRTs and the awful fucking format that Melee players use for their tournaments literally suck all around to host for with other tournaments happening beside them. Melee should be its own thing.
>>741316079pretty sure the only ones wearing fave diapers are ICE goons.
>>741321520EVO Japan is a mess but if they got their shit together, which because of how laws around tournaments are in Japan won't really let them, they would be the go to mecca of fighting games.
>>741315774Before the coof I stayed at Mandalay.4 nights for 1000 bucks.Now its double thatWhere the fuck did we go wrong?
>>741313606NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>741313606fighting games are, financially speaking, the absolute worst game you can buy. you pay full aaa price for, quite literally, no content outside of playing online. online will always be bad because we'll never have faster than light internet, and if you're on a console, you also have to pay to play online.
>>741321575Granblue has a tranny density that makes me wonder if they put something in the water and yet GGST somehow STILL is worse
Modern fighting games are dogshit both from a gameplay and spectator PoV.
>>741314042You should definitely stay out of my country.
>>741313606sell drinks, hire prostitutes and make it a fun event. Competitors have a 3 drink limit until they're done competing.
>>741313606>some drop-outs might be boycotting the event because it is Saudi owned nowa few pros have literally said they arent going solely bc of this, why sugar coat it waste of flesh journalist?
>>741321928I bought a fg for 50 bucks 3 years ago and played it for like 1300 hours. no other game can compete with fgs in value:performance except maybe f2p mobas. if you get financially raped by consoles maybe buy a shitty pc fgs run on toasters too
where is Dead or Alive 6LR?
>>741316276>fill out a form wrong once, ICE detains youYou say that like it's a bad thing, but if ICE is that effect of a deterrent, good. That's literally what I voted for.
>>741322057you can autisticaly dedicate yourself to any game. amount of hours is just how fucking stupid you are to do the same thing over and over again.
>>741321269He wasn't on charge on game direction, it was nakatsu idea.
Granblue VS' tranny concentration is due to that being the demographic KMR and FKHR spent so much TIME & EFFORT to cultivate. Seriously.
>>741322232it's a pvp game you don't do the same thing over and over, you play against people. Or do you think people buy fgs for the arcade mode?
Troons ruined the FGC. I stopped going to events because the infestation got worse and worse every year. They ruin the experience.
>>741322319Theyre still requiring vaccine passports to this day in red Midwest cities for locals. Actual losers, who would want to associate with these histrionic, hostile faggots
>>741322306that's cope. you've wasted your life.
>>741322232>playing fgs is doing the same thing over and over>using a computer is just pressing buttonsmany retarded things get posted on this website every day but this level of stupid stands out even here
>>741322515Projection. I'm doing very well and I like playing that game
2 Niggas Staring At Eachother will never thrive until Street Fighter goes away
>>741316079Nah. Didn't see any chin diapers when I went in 2023.
>>741322134>Voted for the nation to get flooded by H1B Jeets instead of spics
>>741316079that's speedrunning events not fighting games
>>741316079>forcing everyone to wear face diapers?yeah but no covid, just doing it for the love of the game
So if EVO is kill whats the grassroots non corpo alternative?
>>741323065just some random ass online tournament probably
I think tekken is fun.I am not dropping a grand to go 2-2 against the ugliest fucking victor and ling gameplay I've ever seen.

>>741323065Going to locals
>>741313606that's what these fgc fags deserve for propping up dogshit games like sf6, tk8 and 2xko
>>741326087TRVKE
>>741313616Slime Fighter is really bad to be fair. Who wants to play a fighter with no neutral game?
All 3 of those reasons are probably true, in that order.Capitalism is fucked, the capitalists who "own" everything and make all the decisions for society are infinitely raising prices and shrinking products but the slaves aren't getting paid more.
>>741326087I really don't understand what caused them to lose their spines and demand better from these companiesIt worked when everyone dropped sfv in 2016 and they were forced to make the game somewhat tolerable in 2018It worked when tekken 8 added chip damage to throw breaks, made everything plus and completely killed defense, they reverted those changes real fast when everyone started dropping the gameNow we're back to everyone just accepting whatever happens
>>741313616>Rivals of Aether IIWhat the fuck is this game let alone 1??
>>741313606I haven’t been to the states in 6 years. To pay for the family, lodging, food etc, easy $15000 in two weeks.
>>741313606>>some drop-outs might be boycotting the event because it is Saudi owned now Didn't stop Evo Japan from being big as fuck.
>>741326087you forgot to put cotw to not oust yourself as an SNKek
>>741314042this post touched a nerve lol
>>741313606Fighting game suck, tournaments doubly so, no one wants to watch nigs and troons playing touch of death anime flailing casino slop, let alone play them.
>>741313606But all the influencers and armchair youtube essayists told me fighting games were thriving and esports failing...
>>741327451furry smash clone. it has high attendance because its publisher is owned by an eceleb
>>741313606Maybe people are just sick of those two games and there are never any new ones anymore.
>>741316137>can't even post a source, just expects to be taken at his wordPathetic.
>>741327923Evo Japan was like 90% Japanese people participating. Japanese people don't care about the Saudi stuff because they are already majority moral-less. Also, they live in Japan so they don't have to do extensive traveling.
>>741313606The actual reasons are probably a combination of all of these
>>741313616grim
The shekels you might win at Evo won't even cover your travel and hotel expenses.You're triple fucked if you're a turd worlder who can't travel to the USA visa-free. First worlders don't understand how much of a humiliating experience it is to physically show up at the US embassy in any turd world shithole and be practically interrogated there even for tourism.In contrast for other first world cunts it's just a matter of filing the correct paperwork and paying the fees.
>>741313606Probably for the best.
>>741316394it's almost like the world cup is an international event that only happens once every 4 years and typically in a different location every time while EVO happens in the same shitty soulless desert city every year and its prestige has been diminished because the retards that bought it established like ten more EVOspeople have been saying for years that saudis were going to cannibalize EVO to prop up the EWC and wow it happened
>>741329005gamers are generally deviants. when women see you or me, it's the same as what you see there.
>>741314042The people you vote for want more of them in your country so stop complaining bitch
Travel for them is really quickLika 30 mins to a couple hours at most

>>741329342>soive does "the good fighting game patch" and makes the game less volatile which is the thing every fighting game community says they want>everyone gets bored of the patch in two weeks and people are basically just waiting for a new game announcement
>>741314042brazil?
>>741313606WHO BITCH IS THIS?
>>741329484I don't get the nerf all roster culture. It breeds homogenization and other fighting games needs to take notes on 2.0?
FGC is dead because everything is so sanitized and literally queer and there's too many balance patches and dlc. why would I watch 2 emotionless pedophile trannies fiddle around on leverless controllers playing the most boring shit imaginable
>>741313616>>741314131>normalfag shit doubles in regintrations>everything that doesn't matter dies
>>741318430>Custom character tranny who doesnt even play the game, but goons at the character creatorJust like every sc "player", your opinion is meaningless
Oh no!Anyway...
>>741313606Why would you enter a competition you know you can't win?
>>741322306>Or do you think people buy fgs for the arcade modeI have bad news for you.
>>741313606Or maybe it's because fighting games have been shit for 15 years.
Maybe because fighting games are fucking shit now but everyone these days just don't want to admit the truth and just hide behind cope
>>741313606Without Smash Bros, EVO is dead. I said it years ago and how here we are. I hope Nintendo NEVER participates and lets this gigantic piece of shit DIE. Rest is piss.
>>741313606ive been out of the scene for a while but isnt the FG genre currently in the shitter?like, the only two games i havent heard anyone talk bad about are granblu and cotw but then again; i cant remember the last time ive heard anything about the two games at all.
>>741313606>>741313616Maybe people don't want to play tranny games with troon players
>>741313606The second meme arrow is proven false, just look at the World Cup's aftermath and how many foreigners came away NOTICING how good Americans actually have it despite all the niggers.
>>741314102Smash was removed when Sony bought EVO, then the people playing smash realized it's a lot better and cheaper if they just hosted their own EVO style event because they can host romhacks again.
>>741334218anon they might be hesitant because there's a global event going on over there rn
>>741334413can they host romhacks? last I heard the biggest Smash event wasn't even allowed to set their own rules
>>741313606The real reason: Too many FUCKING Chipotle ads
>>741313616>2 new games>still dying
>>741313606fake news
>>741329484strive is a badly designed game, so there isn't much lipstick on a pig can do
>>741314042The tourney’s at China now?
>>741313606Check how much they are charging to atend. FGC used to be grassroots af, it was ridiculously cheap to attend. Now it costs +$1000 for all days and there is a bunch of restrictions.
>>741313606The world is healing.
>>741323491yea man fuck melee, bunch of trannies and pedos amirite?>ignores RoA and Strive conveniently
But zoomer trannies tolded me that SF6 saved the genre and didn't killed it despite being a game made for people that hate fighting games? what the hekkerino?
>>741313606EVO Japan is the new flagship EVO. They reached their max capacity of 7k for SF6 alone this May. Japs have less incentive to travel to EVO Vegas now.
>>741335195The people who play SF6 don't even play fighting games. It's a dead genre
>>741316420Why don't the Japanese like Tekken?
>>741335535because the superior koreans dominate the game
>>741335535Koreans have ruled tekken for over like 20 years anon. It's one of the few fighting games nips are just outmatched in
>>741329757actually the quote was "who bitch this is"
Japan carries the FGC
>>741313606The latest fighting games are torture boxes that only get worse as it goes on.
>>741313606don’t people keep getting banned for being based
>>741313616>2xkos first Evo>Still solidly trailing behind Tekken 8They're really lucky that most gg players boycotted (read too broke to join) because otherwise they'd struggle behind in 4th place too
>>741338070Not anymore, there's no one based left.
>>741313606Just admit your genre is bad???
>>741313606"Pro" FG scene is a joke
>>741338340Western FGC is a fucking joke
>>741338340Why don't you just play better than them?
I'm just surprised Sony was ahead in passing EVO along to a new owner vs. let it be a resource drain, given all of their other fuck-ups this past gen with bad money-making decisions.
>>741338967I don't play fighting games
>>741313606>non Americans don't want to come to trump's Americaand water is wet. gas is expensive, everything iis more expensive here now.
You're missing the biggest factor.It costs something like $300 just to enter and be there. Then you have to pay more to go to top 8 on the last day. Which is just insane.Just a couple years ago the whole thing was $80. A few years before that it was $40.It's like a 600% price increase.The funniest part? The prize-pools are still hilariously low. The worst paying "big" tournament by literally 100x over.They've ran EVO into the dirt in record time. I genuinely hope it goes under. It used to be the most prestigious tournament in the world for decades. Now there are 20 of them and no one wants to go to the main one.
>>741322023>>741325253stay out, xir says, as millions of mexicans flood in

But what will /v/ do if the Saudis arrest all the heckin LGBTQ+ players?!
>>741339995You mean there'll be an EVO where SonicFox won't be winning half of the tourneys? Sign me the fuck up.
>>741340136Well, look what happened in their neighbor's country, when some retard decided to wear a pride shirt in a Islamic Theocracy.
>>741325526That's a really weird analogy, the World Cup has 48 teams so yes, it's not that big in the absolute number of players compared to all the leagues around the world. I assume the worldwide EVO the saudis are planning won't have that many players either because letting anybody in kinda defeats the purpose of a worldwide championship.

all players got deported
>>741313606>>741313616Studios keep making fighting games for these 40 year old crusty boomers.Nobody wants to track 4 gauges, frames and 12 different tag commands to play a fucking fighting game.>pic related literaly said on his stream that I.vincible Vs having 400 players on steam was great.
>>741341817That's the thingThey stopped making games for them around 2018The fighting game dev round table was them saying they're making games to bring in new blood That's why the entire genre got simplifiedDamn near every game from that point on had an auto combo mash button and simple inputs where it's just a direction and a button while also gutting a lot of mechanics/move listsSome eventually settled on offering new controls alongside traditional controls instead of going the 2-button/smash bros route and fucking things up for everyone like they've been doingThey aren't made for the old anymore even though plenty of them stick around to try and support the genre they love
Vegas is expensive while sucking and winning a games entire tournament is just going to cover your attendance cost.
>>741322092You mean that game that hasn't released yet?
>>741335535Bamco didn't spend 7 figures to astroturf their game like Capcom did.
>>741342437What fighting game nowadays that doesn't have either auto combos and modern controls?
>>741313606It's mostly the shit economy. There's no reason to go unless you REALLY love fighting games or one in specific or you also go to meet up with friends. Top players get sponsored to go and compete but everyone else has to shell out a fuckload of cash just to wander around there and not do much. It's not money smart to do that nowadays.
>>741314213This but unironically.
Vegas is such a poor choice lmao.
>>741341817>Nobody wants to track 4 gauges, frames and 12 different tag commands to play a fucking fighting gameWhat happened to Virtua Fighter?
>>741341817Couldn't be further from the truth. Fighting games have been heavily casualised with every iteration. Street Fighter, Tekken and Guilty Gear being the most obvious examples.
>>741313606Shouldn't have hosted it in a 3rd world country.
>>741313606Didn't they just recently get a guiness record for the amount of EVO participants for street fighter? Did they think they were going to get bigger numbers every year?

>>741343093it's interesting considering that ASW have done sort of a "modern" control idea way back in the very first Blazblue game where you ccould select stylish mode and just mash one button and auto-combos happen
>>741342987EVO Japan is thriving because SF6 is a cultural phenomenon over there yes. EVO Las Vegas is ailing for a number of reasons already mentioned ITT.
>>741342823Tekken but it depends on the character.For example, Armor King you still need to be able to dark upper, giant swing, and instant shining wizard while keeping movement tight and wavus, but his combos are so fucking braindead and free it's insane.
>>741343113it never used to be this way, they're like an infection. they weasel their way into moderation and community manager roles they are obsessed with micro managing and punishing anyone for having any fun.
>>741343258special style?
>>741339043Sony fucked it up with core values and it's been a flaming bag of dog turd since.
>>741343306That shit does not exist above rookie rank. It's not even a pros vs amateur thing it just objectively sucks and has no use except for the most casual of casual.
>>741343351I get your point but the option still exist and like you said depends on the character.
>>741343523Tekken special style locks you into 3 moves in a game where your average character has 120. It sucks, the only time I have seen it used in the past 2 years is when people are trying to bm by toggling it on/off while getting juggled to try and distract their opponent to make them drop their combos. It is not like SF's modern that at least has a few arguable use cases like instant anti-airs.I said it depends on the character because some characters combos are easy and some are hard. The previously mentioned Armor King is near braindead because he can convert near anything effortlessly. King's DF2,1 combo on the other hand is still pretty hard to do, especially against girls where you have to microdash, and if you don't have that shit on lock then you lose access to one of the best counter hit confirm launches in the game. Hit confirming it in the first place requires it's own practice by itself. And almost every character needs to account for geometry in the combo, or you hit the wall to early or at an angle.
>>741329484nice polished turd. anyone that "liked" strive were shit at fighting games anyway
>>741313606>>741313616if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself...
>>741316137We have enough retards already
>>741313954>I can't wait for the day where they stop posting the player numbers the same way Blizzard did years ago, THATS when you know things have gotten really bad.They did that for EVO Japan back near the start.They showed the first year where the KOF numbers were already bad (especially for Japan of all places), but the second year the KOF numbers plummeted more so they stopped showing them altogether for the third year. Things might have changed since but I know they stopped showing them some year. Now it's acclimatized that SNK games do badly and will always be third rate Guilty Gear numbers, there's no need pretend.
>>741313606dont they have like a evo in every country now? im not sure why say a french person would bother wasting money to come over to america for it when they can just wait for their own
At least it's not the RTS genre where it got killed by korean toruneys
>>741313606>cut the most famous game>sell to saudisyeah I wonder why EVO is failing.
>>741322092i dont think tecmo koei wants that game to do well at this point
>>741344463That was developers trying to get in on Starcraft's competitive scene with APM ADHD gameplay. Turn based strategies and map games are still popular.
>>741335535Because it's gone to shit. Bamco charged their customers 5 bucks to be able to play as Heihachi in a Tekken game.
>>741338340just the strive players mostly,but guilty gear players in general kind of deserve it because they've always be the "that kid" of fighting games
>>741313616Traveling is really expensive and it's only gotten worse lately with everything going up.
>>741344732still glad i cream api every DLC release. cant wait for yujiro
>>741342987>>741343093They added modern controls and auto combos on Blazblue, Granblue and even Xrd but not Strive.
>>741344907Every fighting game DLCs are easy to crack except for SF6 and MK1 because of the fucking online server check.
>>741321575the tranny density is reaching levels we never thought possible. Not surprising when the establishment media and corps encourages it and offers victim points/protection.
normies can't do anything right so fun things suffer
>>741314042>>741339363Crazy how>a place where retarded people with guns can just kidnap you with zero reason, zero recourse, zero knowing if you'll even leave.Is so popular with not just Mexican illegals, but is STILL the most moved-to place in the world (sadly).It's almost like you're an out of touch retard.
>>741328162This post is a bland repetition of decades of relentless propaganda, and we're tired of you niggers lying over and over ad nauseam.
>we
>>741313616Wasn't aware Rivals of Aether attracts such big numbers. Was it always like this?
>>741315415Century of American Humiliation™.Thank you Comrade Trump!
>>741313606IT'S NOT FUN ANYMORE.You can't be toxic, you can't make jokes, you can't do anything but sit there in silence and play the game. They are also prioritizing women, who are terrible over men.Fuck these fags.
>>741313606watching people play fighting games was always shit, the only fun part was the shit talking and playing out. which they no longer allow.
>>741313606Evo died the moment they stopped doing Smash
>>741313606Maybe don't have it in Las Vegas then? Choose some semi-small profile city in middle America and host it there instead.
>>741313606>sony buys evo>completely kills it>panic sell to some random saudistoppest of keks
>>741348941You have Nintendo to thank for suing other Smash competitions.
If you don't have a sponsor you shouldn't be attending anyway, it's overpriced garbage, let it die. It shouldn't cost that much to compete especially with so many tryhards and such a low cash prize. Fuck EVO, fuck EWC, fuck world/pro tours, fuck sponsors, fuck ads, fuck streaming, fuck esport, fuck "pros" and first and foremost: Fuck the United States of America, filthy scourge of this world.
It's because all modern fighting games are complete shit and play pretty much the same. They add just enough of dopamine activating bullshit so they "feel good" to play, so people think that they are playing good games but are just feeding their addictions.
>>741313606Americans can pay to travel to VegasThe world cup proves euros are willing to travel to the USThe last world cup proved no one gives a fuck about Saudi ArabiaThis is not news, this is opinions by a retard working for a leftist site
>>741347789A content creator is paying for people to sign up basically as long as they sign up for rivals, get ready for a shit load of DQs
>>741329484If Feggen is top contender in your game, you have a shit game
>>741348997smash fans are retarded and will never blame nintendo for anything
>>741337890Don't google Marn's leg
It's time to move EVO out of LA. The city's too expensive now. Combo Breaker and CEO are doing fine.
Isnt there like 4 different EVOs now? It used to be THE fighting game tournament
If the US didn't deny fucking tourist visas like candy with unreasonable requests like wanting you to own property and be married this wouldn't be a problem
>>741335535tekken abandoned the arcades
>>741350541That was a bio hazard. How the fuck was he allowed in the venue with that thing?
>>741314994>a lot of people went there for the world cup thoughNot as much as were planning to and FIFA had to basically beg people not to cancel.
>>741313606What a lord of bullshit, people are traveling to the US in droves for the World Cup and nobody except Jews care about Saudi owning whatever. The only legitimate reason there is on that list is that everyone is broke. They also didn’t list the other only legitimate reason and that is that these new fighting games are fucking trash and ugly.
>>741354284Millions. The most the world has ever seen. Nobody brings in the people more. Right.
>Well, well, well...
>>741313616No one wants to play beside trannies IRL, sorry
>>741354798Low key I stopped going to my locals because trannys started showing up.
>>741338070>>741338107modern fgc being too soft to handle team rush hour, let alone zhieep, is a sobering thought
>>741343307>EVO was better when it was under McRibs, a sex offendergrim
>>741349517>discount code: 235 USDHuh?????what????
