Tekken is so awesome. I like that they lined up all the top 30 ranked pros to show up on stream and obliterate a cavalcade of clowns

It's like an anime tournament arc where they put all the badasses to fight against jobbers on the first round

I like watching hype gaming events but evo always seems too segmented for me to keep up with what's being streamed where etc.

Yeah it's not really centralized like other events, since it's a couple thousand people hosting 30 different tourneys all at once. Sunday is the main stage event, there's only one stream and there's usually a bunch of announcements around it. So that's something to check out

yeah Sunday is the day to watch if you just want to be shown one thing that everyone is watching. unfortunately, for several hours that thing will be Melee.

as a fighting game casual that doesn't care about comics Injustice looks like the most boring game to me, what is the appeal there?

netherrelm games have their own group of weirdo competitive fans that mostly just play their games, they are slower clunkier games so they could probably move to sf5 by now but just wont

they are very popular for casual players because they all have big story modes and have well known characters people like, the mk characters, the dc characters, mk10 added a bunch of horror movie characters like Jason, Predator, and Alien while Injustice 2 also has the mutant turtles and hell boy

and yes they arent japanese which adds a few million more sold copies to any game

Also worth mentioning that the lead animator at Netherrealm is the guy who played Raiden in the original MK trilogy and he's Ed Boon's neighbor or something so the animation is still him rolling around in a mocap suit and thinking drat this is rad! which is why they have and always will look like complete poo poo

It was cool a few years go before they changed their TOS around what brands could sponsor people that the first few hours of pools in every game would be 30 or 40 horrific players who clearly didn't even know how to navigate menus getting annihilated and then mugging for the camera and showing off their porn website sponsorships
