Comment on Evo Japan and Las Vegas 2026 lineups announced
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 day agoIt’s a larger scene than the likes of Rivals of Aether II or Virtua Fighter 5, but there’s more at play for game selection than just that. And remember that when it comes to copies sold, Mortal Kombat 1 having a bad day is still about as good as Street Fighter or Tekken having a great day.

That isn't my point. I don't even like Mortal Kombat.
EVO events should be reserved for games that are demanding of skill and has mechanical depth. Mortal Kombat is neither, despite the pros of that game trying to say otherwise.

All of these games are demanding of skill and have mechanical depth. Except Hokuto No Ken, but they still put that on Japan’s roster.
