Fantastic lineup. Glad to see 3rd Strike still included as the GOAT fighting game and the modern choices are all perfect as well. Also glad to see Granblue Fantasy getting some love from the community.

I'll tune in for Tekken 8. Extremely fun to watch. Nothing else is even worth watching. 2D trash. Maybe Street Fighter 6 at most.

Its really depressing that the current street fighter, KOF and MK games are all really fucking awful (IMO)

The rest of the lineup is great.
 
Pretty sure I'm gonna attend this year. I don't follow the fgc at all and play no fighting games but the event is always fun to watch and in person I bet it would be even more so.

The King of Fighters XV is pretty great with the exception of the last update adding a universal move that literally breaks the game.

Tekken 8 is going to be lit. Would love to see Kuma in the Finals.

Happy to see GBFV Rising in there, its the fighting game I'm learning right now when I'm in the mood for fighting games. Matches are also fun to watch.

SNK refusing to take out wake-up throws is still on the most frustrating decisions in recent memory. Half-assing a whole new mechanic to deal it that ends up devaluing command grabs even more is just so silly.

Oh fuck off. If you are too aggressive and don't allow a reset after a knockdown you are just being a greedy prick. Besides, throws can be broken. Advanced Strike sucks though.

Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising will get some nice exposure with Evo. The game is doing well enough but it call pull better numbers with this, especially as it has a F2P version with 3 rotating characters each week.

Street Fighter 3rd Strike is still played
No one plays Street Fighter 4 anymore.
That's saying a lot about 2D games.

Not really. Seems like scraping the bottom of a barrel. Third Strike is played out. Ultra Street Fighter 4 could probably blow a few minds with new stuff but it would make Street Fighter 6 look bad by comparison and they can't have that.

Has anyone been playing the Tekken 8 tournaments on the "Road to EVO"?

I won a tournament and it shows the reward is an invitation. Do I get tickets to EVO?

Tekken 8 is really fun to watch in tournaments not only because you see more variety of characters but also stages actually big part of the fight.

I liked SF6 but I'm sooooooo sick of Ken and Luke.

I’ll be watching SF6 and Guilty Gear.

Maybe some MK1 if anyone is playing Omniman.

just don’t care that much about the rest of the games.
 
I'm a fighting games fan but I don't really care to watch anything other than Street Fighter at this point. I enjoy playing Tekken, but don't care to watch it intently. MK is bootleg as hell, and anime fighters have the worst sound design in history. I wish we could get one more year of KoF11(I think it was 11, not sure). Whatever year that was, it was crazy. KoF was insane during that Evo. Pretty sure that was the most hype the series has ever gotten at that event's history.

One day I hope to see a "single-strike leads to death" type game on this list.

Such as
which is releasing in 10 hours from now.
