You could count BBTag as an increase in numbers, based on where BlazBlue was before, though this is an entirely different game. But mostly, it looks like DBFZ picked up numbers from all the other games. Overall entrants are up, which is nice.

In Guilty Gear, I use Faust. You may be thinking of Sytha, who uses Ky? He was always the most active GG player around here.

I still play Street Fighter the most, and it's still the game I end up doing the best in. But I also enter Guilty Gear at any tournament, and play that as much as SF these days. The last three monthly tournaments I've attended here, I've actually finished in the top 3 for GGXrd somehow, though that hasn't translated to success at major tournaments yet.

I also am kind of playing a whole load of other things now too. I'll sign up for Mystery Game or Windjammers if those show up at a tournament. I'm still playing Dragon Ball FighterZ. I'm trying to learn Tekken 7 and UNIST when people bring those to casuals. I also mess around with older Street Fighter games, which happens more lately thanks to that anniversary edition.

I think Community took about 6 or 7 episodes before I felt characters and the pacing of the show start getting into their stride? Season 1 is generally kind of an upward increase throughout, getting better as it goes along.

I'm kind of disappointed this week, because there was a tournament this past weekend, about an hour drive away from me. Well, it's primarily been a Smash tourney, and I don't really play those games, but they added in other fighting games this year. I wasn't sure how big those would be and needed to fit some real life stuff in some weekends, so I decided against going to it. I looked up the tourney Saturday, and it somehow turned out those other games had decent crowds signed up, and people traveled in from a handful of other states too. It was a nice surprise for the tourney and is a good look for it going to next year, but I wish I could've been there to get games in with everyone.

I was at some sporting event about 18 months ago, and every kid who they put on the scoreboard did a dab. It was at that moment I knew it needed to stop.

I feel like BB Cross Tag has a lot of that Marvel feel. It's really fast-paced and has crazy tag combos and assist setups into setups that seem unblockable until you see someone actually block them. Obviously the characters are all different and it's got some of those anime game mechanics in there, but from my limited play with both and from spectating them, I get a similar vibe when watching. Hopefully for people who wanted to see the wild Marvel action at Evo, this can at least fill part of that void?

I was not a Tekken fan until T7. I've tried playing and watching games in this series before and never could get into them, but this game hits the spot for me. Why is it? I'm not quite sure. I'm not that good at the game because it's like 5th or 6th down the rung of games I practice, and because others who play have been playing forever, but I have fun.

Also, uhhh, I've been playing Jack

Yes, let us know your pools, we can tell you who your opponents play, and therefore all the top strats to win. Also, make sure to network with your local scene and see if you can find anyone else going to Evo. It helps just having anyone in your corner if you can get it.

Last year, they started had these rubber wristband things and handed them out to everyone who made it out of their pool. It was a pretty cool feature and made getting out of pools even more special.

Aww, I've gone the past few years, but will not be making it this year.

Hopefully you have a good time! There's definitely a lot of stuff to see and watch there. I also believe last year was the best Evo ever was about being able to find open time & stations to get casuals on, so hopefully you can get in some matches that way as well. And don't forget to stay hydrated, the dryness there can sneak up on you.

Now that you've beaten the game, I feel I can post this. I've recently watched this series of videos about SOTN that this guy made. It's kind of a playthrough of the game, but he also talks about the origins - mythological, historical, or of relevance to the series - of items, monsters, and places as he goes through the game. There's a lot of things in the game to talk about, coming from a lot of different sources, so it's really interesting hearing about it all.

Live stream of the NJPW event tonight in Daytona Beach

It's tied in with a fighting game event, and I believe is being produced/run mostly by people who work fighting game events. I think the guys on commentary for this stream are all guys who normally commentate games but are wrestling fans? Kind of interested to see how this all turns out.
