Yeah fuck anyone that actually like the game and wanted to compete at evo and the people that wanted to watch high level mvci gameplay. Its fine if you dont like the game but let people that enjoy it have fun playing it and watching it. Plus not like you are force to watch the game if its at evo. I dont like IJ2 I just dont watch it during evo.

*Sigh*
There are plenty of communities that never had opportunities to even BE at EVO or communities that only had one time to be at EVO.
Marvel has been with EVO for over a decade, blame the shitty state that Marvel and Capcom left on the game than crying about the fact that Marvel didn't make it because of Wizard.

There's a diference between disagreeing on MvCI's presence at EVO (which is what some did) and then doing the same thing but while calling the game an insult to the FGC and saying it is devoid of any value for EVO, which is exactly what only you are doing, GTOAkira and I are not being foolish by expressing our discontent with Marvel getting the shaft and with Mr, Wizard's poor way of handling things.

And Melty Blood is an anime fighter and at its core is very niche, more so than Marvel, and as such has a very dedicated fan base. The fact that it got an EVO is a huge honor not many (if any more) non-ArcSys anime fighters will ever get. My point is, I'm not here to convince you that MvCI should get an EVO (which I still think it should), but I will tell you that a lot of communities have had at least one shot to be represented at EVO, which goes against something you were using to justify MvCI's absence (apart from all your other personal opinions).

Let's not pretend that there weren't various warning signs pointing to Marvel's absence. Infinite has been a PR nightmare for Capcom the whole time. From SFV's rocky start not helping with Infinite's own rocky start, Combofiend's poor wording about functions, bad looking models to Marvel meddling too much on the roster and leaving a MCU focused Marvel side with a lack of notable fan favorites (Not that Capcom's side wasn't much better.)

The major tournament made for Infinite was a gimmick tournament and IIRC, didn't go quite as smoothly as intended.

The general disinterest overall for the game. Most descriptions I've heard were summarized as "The gameplay is fine, but the game overall feels eh."

Dragonball FighterZ reveal and subsequent release. DBFZ was a welcomed alternative to the "marvel styled" fighter and many were ready to jump ship to it after how Infinite disappointed many. The steam user info has actually had Infinite with 0 players multiple times.

You have to remember that it's not the interest in people willing to play, but also the number of spectators willing to watch. The overall backlash and disinterest in Infinite is what disqualified it from an EVO spot.

I'm sorry, but how does DBFZ not fill the chaotic team based fighter quota? Most of the mechanics are reminiscent of Marvel mechanics. Obviously, there are some differences so it stands out on its own.
