How come a non fighting game topped the biggest fighting game tournament?

cope

Because it's a good game with actual effort put into it, unlike SFV

Holy shit what is this smell, so suddenly?

Where's Digimon Rumble Arena?

...

>casualshit attracts a lot of people
What a surprise.
This is valid for #1 and #2

If Americans are stupid enough to eat tide pods and elect a reality tv star, they truly think Mario Party is a fighting game.

yo where's melee

Samurai Showdown is this popular??

It's being treated as a side game. We'll see the truth with next year numbers.

It may not be a traditional arcade-style fighting game, but it's still a fighting game.

>samurai shitdon replaces melee
>it’s a side gig
Cue the fucking circus music. EvO is run by clowns

*wins EVO*

Explains the ps4's sales lmao

>treated as a sie game
>4th highest entrants with a guaranteed sunday finals spot
I don't think you know what that means

>it may not be a fighting game, but it's still a fighting game
?????????

It means that the majority of the people playing it are playing it as their side game to do something either before or after they're done with their main game.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If that’s what it takes to get normies out, so be it

Evo 2019 still has more entrants than last year so

There are only fighters there though.

>NOOO YOU TOOK OUT MELEE TO ADD THE SAMURAI GAME NO ONE PLAYS
>more entrants than Melee ever had

Stop lying. Evo wouldn’t be known today without Melee

>most entries at Evo
>Best selling fighting game EVER MADE

I don't even like smash but if it makes the faggot FGC mad then good job

Apparently it's the game with more international players other than SFV, A fair share of Japanese/Korean/Taiwan pros registered

>>more entrants than Melee ever had
Peak Melee in 2016 had more than everything in 2019 except Ultimate.

>remove Melee at EVO for some indie game
>low watch ratings
Guess they don’t like money

cope

cope harder, Smash Ultimate is a great fighting game

yeah, i bet companies are lining up to advertise crts and gamecube games

No scripted attacks and movement.

Why does that matter? If anything, it gets people interested in Nintendo’s old days even further

Does anyone have any tips for Char vs Yoshi in Samsho?
I just did like 20-30 games with a Yoshi and he really fucked me up, I swear he can do everything and then unlock a 7th sword that takes away 70% of my health.

poke and learn to anti air

I think Lance de Lion is a good punish on his 236 and 423 moves.

youtu.be/5tZgT2XF9bs
Lol

nintendo's old days do not generate money to advertisers, selling sticks, gamer fuel and new games do

Obsessed yet the truth

Except that EVO has been going on since well before Melee came out and has done well in its absence before.

I'm terrified to use the lance since he can just do the armor move and take the hit, but as a punish that is a good idea.
I think the only reliable thing I was able to do was anti air him with my j.b.

Saleswise it's bigger than all the rest of those games combined so it's no wonder it got so many entrants.

If smash is so popular why not get their own sepparate tournament going instead?

They have that one at E3

>What is evo moment #34

Alright serious question.
Do you people who say Smash is not a fighting game say it for shits and giggles and bait retards into getting mad or do you actually think that?

Seethe

I haven't watched/played any SamSho, is it true you can get a KO in like 3 hits in that game?

Both.

No, you can with 2

Heavy attack does like 40%, a counter does like 50+%

They're using weapons, so It actually makes sense.

Next year, not even in the top 20 pool of games

Why pollute Evo then? Its not even the same people that play Smash and fighting games in general.

Might as well bring a LOL and CSGO tourney

Didn't break SFV's first year record.

i saw an old video from one of the older installments where a guy parried his opponent's first move at the start of the round, followed up with a super that wiped out the whole health bar and won the round.

Because Ultimate babies love attention, and hate DBZ styles like Melee

Same reason cod is the #1 fps. It's a low iq game that appeals to the lowest common denominator

...

Take a shower faggot

Because melee paid to get in over basedgirls back in '13 and stuck around cause it got viewers. Now having at least one Smash mainstage is the norm, for fuck's sake we had TWO of them for a couple years, what a joke

No It was a older game. Could've been Samsho IV or V. I was a spic youtube video.

You first weeb

It means one of the following:
1. Smash Bros is a fighting game
2. Fighting games suck

Take your pick, faggot

Modern fighting games suck ass.

>weeb telling Melee player to have sex

Only two moves at minimum in the new one, literally 1 hit in the others if situationally permitted

Seething

Smash autists don't spend money on anything except for Nintendo products, so their views don't mean much.

MK should be pulling similar numbers then

no melee

no way mk sold as much as ultimate

cant believe people dont like this level of yomi, fuckin casuals man i swear

Smash is just a good game I don't see why this is so hard to understand.

The only game that matters at Evo is Street Fighter.

That is a big drop for SFV. People blame the lack of updates, but if you like a game then updates shouldn't matter. T7 hasn't had anything since the start of the year. I think it is more the tshirts skewing last years results.

It's a bad look for SF5, for sure. SF4 entrants went up every single year without ever dropping, SF5 is on the decline and is now getting less entrants than the two most enterered SF4 EVOs. The game's donezo, no one likes playing or watching it. I feel like they collectively all stopped caring around Kage's reveal. They just need to cut their losses and figure out how to not fuck up 6.

I'd say the next announcement is the last chance to turn it around, but that is what people say about every update. I do hear from the people who stuck with the game they are happy with it now, but not only do they have low standards that doesn't line up with it dropping players even last year. SF4 didn't always get yearly updates and grew.

It is like the game isn't an embarrassment any more, but also offers nothing unless you are a huge SF brand loyalist. Which there are a lot of. You could stick that label on any game and they'd be happy. So this growing sentiment of where is SF6 doesn't surprise me, even though SFV is a pretty young game still. I've seen a few justify the drop as SFV is old now but the game really isn't, older titles went on much longer.

I thought this was a party game tournament

Could you imagine the smell of 3500 smash players? jfc
