I have this on the Switch and while it's a really fun game, keep in mind Puyo Puyo can almost unplayable if you are color blind and there is no real solution in the way of settings or a color blind friendly skin or anything.

And there's also the metallic skin for people with partial color blindness.

EVO lineup getting announced in a bit here. My wholly unfounded and therefore super right guesses:

Sunday:
SFVAE (main event, on ESPN again)
Smash 4 (Smash game, also on TV again)
DBZ (main tag fighter)
GG Xrd 2rd (anime, early to appeal to the Asia watchers)
Fan voted game, probs ARMS/Pokken

Saturday:
Melee (main event, Melee fans have themselves a good spergfest over the disrespect)
Tekken 7
IJ2

Friday:
Marvel Infinite
KOF14


Infinite might get moved up to early Saturday but I will laugh heartily if Capcom strongarms EVO into making Infinite a Sunday finals. I don't know if that BlazBlue tag fighter will be ready for EVO and/or it's DLC scheme keeps EVO from adopting it until everyone's out.

john_d accidentally leaked a plan using evo footage without consent, in addition he made explicit plans in the same video of how he would monetize evo for capcoms own profits. the leak happened because he uploaded the video to his own (subscriberless) youtube channel publicly.

Blazblue tag is scheduled to release on May 31 and June 1 has been the game/patch cutoff in past years. Evo being in August this year does give BB tag more of a chance of making it.

Wizard has been saying that this year will have 7 games and who knows if they'll stick to that but my guess for the lineup is SFV, Smash 4, DBFZ, Tekken, Injustice, GG, and a donation drive for the last game

theres too much money behind melee so i imagine we'll still have 2 smashes. we'll get an 8th slot as a donation drive tho probably. melee would win the donation drive otherwise.

its fighting herds will somehow win that slot.

there's no way infinite is in. nobody is playing it, fighterz already exists, nobody is playing it, capcom royally pissed them off, and nobody's playing it.

UNIST legitimately has more of a chance than infinite.

Nothing to do with EVO but what was the name of the Smash clone by the ex-Blizzard people?

C. Everett Koop
Aug 18, 2008
EVO 2017 numbers for reference:

SFV: 2622
Smash 4: 1515
Melee: 1435
T7: 1278
IJ2: 883
GG Xrd2: 827
UMvC3: 648 (fan vote)
BBCF: 499
KOF14: 375

If they're only going to 7, dropping the bottom two outright and effectively swapping Marvel for DBFZ makes sense, though it eliminates the fan vote. And as much as they'd like to drop to one smash, I don't see them risking pissing off the Melee players (any more then they usually are) by dropping the third most popular game outright.

During the MVCI release cycle I said that the only way a new Vs. game doesn't get a push by Mr. Wizard is if a Capcom rep shoots his family or something on those lines.

honestly rwby has a lot of good characters and character designs that the writers adamantly refuse to let have like, dynamics or scenes or anything. like the entire series is built around the main four girls' friendship but they barely have any onscreen time together and what development as a group they do have is mostly just really clunky exposition and then them deciding not to care.

in that regard it's kind of the ideal show for the modern fandom landscape since any fanfiction/fanart/fancomics you come up with will probably use the characters better than the actual show.
