Interestingly picked indeed. Two Smash Bros. games, neither of which is Project M, and the absence of... well, several fighting games that I thought would outprioritize some of these. I would think that BBCP would outprioritize Ultimax, for example.

Well, Nintendo is sponsoring again this year, so P:M has to go the Canon Discontinuity way.

[up][up]Guess which one's newer and wasn't actually at EVO before. Also Guilty Gear probably shot BB's chances regardless of Persona's involvement, not to mention Persona has a wide fanbase of people outside of the FGC.

[up]Huh. I thought for sure Ultimax came before CP.

Didn't Nintendo release a statement a while back that was basically a roundabout way of acknowledging Project M and letting it continue to exist?

Yeah, but that all goes out the window once sponsorship and partnership come into play. If Project M were on the main stage that would result in a ton of legal trouble. Not to say Nintendo couldn't let things slide with a side tournament, but it had no chance of getting on the main stage.

I question some of the logic behind some of these game choices, especially regarding Tekken 7 and MKX. Neither of those games are gonna have very good players by the time Evo comes around because the games will only have been out for a couple months or so (and it'll be even worse for Tekken, as only people in Japan will probably be able to get their hands on the game before Evi, and I doubt many of them will take the time to go to Vegas for Evo). Reminds me a lot of what happened when Injustice had its first Evo.
