| Topic | EVO 2018 lineup announcement @ 9pm ET |
| WazzupGenius00 02/07/18 3:53:50 PM #89: | Wait, youre using Steam playerbase as your barometer for a fighting games engagement??? Its definitely the case that DBFZ took a lot of Marvels playerbase, but if you look at the tournament scene (and given were talking about Evo, a physical tournament, this is the best number to gauge participation) Marvel has either the second or third highest prereg number for most upcoming events. I definitely think that ultimately a lot will jump ship from Marvel to DBFZ, but I also think it will still have a larger presence in the scene than, say, Injustice 2 will this year. Evo has a history of making deals with publishers behind the scenes for unreleased games, and Im guessing that ultimately Marvel wasnt willIng to make a deal with them but ASW convinced them to put BBTAG in. That year when they had the charity drive to determine the final game because there was only enough room for one, they added Injustice to the lineup a month after the fact despite it only raising like 200 dollars compared to Melee and Skullgirls 100K each. We got Tekken 7 twice when there was literally no way to play it anywhere outside of Japan and Korea. There is no logical way to justify those outside of money. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
