Cause SF and Marvel arent paying out like the anime games. Blazblue winner caked way more than SF4 and Marvel winners.
I mean is it a coincidence that this got hype right after Evo right when they saw Anime games paying out more than Street fighter?
SF paid out damn near double the amount they paid last year so i dont see how blazblue makin a little more would make nikkas who've been playing SF most of their lives jump ship so quickly
on top of that game just came out for consoles
so idk why you feel like the hype is DIRECTLY related to how BB turned out at evo, it's not like it was already out and nobody was fukkin wit it and now they fukkin wit it cuz of blazblue, hardly anyone even knew the game existed until the first tournament at next level and people seen the game mechanics
imo Evo just gave nikkas a little Street Fighter fatigue, a new anime game comes out that's not OD on airdashing, is big on footsies, and has a interesting fighting system, on top of that the netcode is piff so even with shytty connections it's not too bad, why wouldn't they fukk with it?
