Yeah, not feeling Evo too terribly much any more to be honest. With the quantity and quality of other events on the rise, I think Evo's importance is really starting to fade, which given the directions they have been taking, is probably for the better. Not to say I want Evo to fail or its bad or anything of the sort, but merely that it defining what games are and arent relevant is a shitty prospect.
I mean, basing things just on Evo, SFV is going to be "the" game.. and that's actually REALLY sad. Like, REALLLLLY sad. SFV has potential to be AMAZING, but Capcom's utterly pathetic handling of the game and its community coupled with an outdated approach to management, all wrapped around the barely-even-beta shell of the game itself.. means to me, the game doesn't DESERVE to be so lauded when there are other games who's devs and communities are bleeding to make their game amazing.. Hell, if you watch *any* interview with an SFV pro almost no one has positive things to say. A huge chunk of the pro SF scene is there because the sponsors are, not because they like the game or its myriad of problems 'arent that bad'. I know SFV gets top billing because the money is there and the population is there, and thats ultimately fine and understandable, I just wish evo would use the power it has to help give games like KI more exposure.
