Final Numbers Are In For EVO!

When I first saw the numbers, the first thought I had was "WOW! ALL the games are getting good numbers this year!"

I'm happy SAMSHO has a good turn out, just as I'm happy Smash got over 3000, and MK got 1500! Of the nine main Evo games this year, 7 have OVER 1000 entrants, and the other 2 have 6 and 7 hundred!

No community should be ashamed of these numbers. this Evo is a good show of strength for the entire FGC.

Well judging from what I could find on past entrants:

1st EVO MK9: 500+ (couldn't find a concrete number)
1st EVO INJ: 582
1st EVO MKX: 1162
1st EVO INJ2: 883
1st EVO MK11: 1567

Grown a lot since 2011
Thats the most important part to take from each perspective game. Of course you're gonna get dumbasses that are just stuck in placements saying game X is below game Y making game X "dead game" but as long as each perspective community grows each year, thats a win for that community, regardless of placements. And looking at these numbers is a win for the FGC as a whole! Win or lose, im proud to become a part of this . And that's RIGHTEOUS :)

The game also doesn't have a tour & Team Soul isn't getting much support from Namco who's all in on Tekken right now. 700+ for Soul Calibur given it's history is amazing.
Alright, taking that into account, that is pretty good then. I forgot that Namco also did Soul Calibur, haven't played a Soul Calibur game since 4.

Do we have any idea what the schedule looks like yet?
Not yet. The last day for registration was just yesterday. From my understanding, 2 weeks before the event we will have the schedule but last year they were late and released the schedule the same week. So hopefully we get it on time.

Febreeze? Do I wanna know why?
When I went last year....I thought hearing about Smashers was a myth, but babY was I dead wrong! They stank like dirt, ass, and failure! AND I was tipsy! Beer couldnt help me in the middle of a crowd of stanky ass Smashers. I mean, I made friends in the process which was cool because im a cool muthafucka, duh ;)

But i remember what people were saying about em was right on the nose. All pun intended.

Ah, because of the "con funk," I gotcha now. That's a reason why I haven't really gone to any conventions.

"They stank like dirt, ass, and failure," that might be our new go-to line to describe the Smash scene.

From what I've heard, that was pudding that was in a bottle of Elmer's glue to make people think that it was actual glue. But yeah, that's not helping the reputation that their scene has.

NOW that the numbers are out and we're waiting for a schedule, what announcements do you think we might get for each game ?Question mark?
