About half as many as there are for SFIV.

They're going to drop out of the top 5 in viewership pretty easily. Obviously USF4 and UMvC3 will be top 2, but BlazBlue and Smash will pass it, and probably SFxT at #5. Even KI is starting to pick up some steam while KoF is aging. KoF is legit boring as gently caress to watch, even if you know exactly what is going on.

Better than Injustice, sure, but... eh.


What happens when he starts running a Zero/Dormmamu/Morrigan? People will hate him again, right?

KOF is not boring to watch.

KoF is a cool game to watch, but since it is mostly player by spanish people and koreans it's at its most exciting when the usa is winning

so basically KoF is the soccer of fighting games, USA USA USA

I watched the Grand Finals. It wasn't bad or anything, but it paled in comparison to almost every other pool/bracket series I watched that year. If that's your jam, go for it, but KoF is definitely on the bottom rung of games this year.

Street Fighter fits pretty well as baseball in this anology. The Japanese even love it more than most Americans do.

Just Melee still this year. Wii U Smash 4 isn't out until winter so it might be at next Evo, but that's only if the hardcore Smash community can finally let Melee go.

Project M could never be featured at Evo, could it? Not being a real Nintendo game and all. I watched a bunch of it during CEO and thought it was a better looking game compared to Melee

I don't think Nintendo would let that happen, especially with a new entry in the series being right around the corner.

Zero and Virgil absolutely killed UMvC3 for me. Even if Kim is everyone's go-to guy, there are at least two other characters on the team in KoF to watch. You could say the same about Marvel, but as long as Zero's doing lightning loops, the other team doesn't get to play anyway.

Soon as I see Zero, I pretty much switch to something else. It's like oh great look it's broke as poo poo Zero. Though Beef is right, KOF is basically the soccer of fighting games.

But gently caress that guy who said KOF is boring.

Given the 10k pot bonus they put up for Ultra, the CPT stream and every FGC-facing Capcom employee showing up their not being on that list is probably an oversight.
