Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
AnimEVO 2016 line up revealed
- Thread starter ponpo
- Start date
It's never featured, so not really surprising :/
There's a side tourney though usually
That's a lot of anime. Since when did Koihime Musou have a fighting game?
I guess due to it's western orgins, it's not considered an "anime" fighter. Skullgirls, always the bastard child of the FGC. ;_;

Im a bit sad that Catherine isn't there 
Blade Arcus genuinely surprised me. It looks jank as fuck. Definitely not catching that.

Fuck Arcana Heart
Nah, it'll be P5A.

That was, by far, one of the most entertaining games to watch during EVO last year. Why in the world wouldn't it come back? Did Sega say no?
Not a waifu game
I"m confused, I don't see it on the list.
That's the problem =(
My previous dream was a Persona fighting game. Now, it's a Persona fighting game that looks like GG Xrd. That'd be the best thing ever.
And yes, obviously Catherine should have been here.
I'd have to think they'd continue using that tech in future games, it got so much attention.

*nod* Enjoy Full Boost, ponpo.
For reference, this was last year's lineup.
The Skullgirls community runs their own unaffiliated event. I can't remember who was responsible for Catherine last year, but it's separate, too. Not being on this lineup doesn't suggest anything.

I didn't even know Blade Arcus was out, do people play it?
Well the Atlus guys themselves were organizing it last year. Is Atlus at Evo again? I mean, P4 is not a main game this year so I honestly don't know.

Looking forward for this
I guess that depends. BlazBlue: Centralfiction is sticking with the 2D sprites, and Team Blue were the ones involved with P4A and not Team Red. Perhaps Team Blue will transition to the models after Ragna's story arc is done or whatever, though I kinda doubt it. P4A is in a special situation for several reasons, though, so who knows what'll happen...
That's a lot of games -- hopefully you clowns enjoy it. Anyone at Evo should come see me in Melty.
... but Blade Arcus? Come on. Are there more than three copies of this game in the US?

I always hear this quote in Yipes' voice. -_-

He might acutally be too busy playing main EVO games this year with SFV and Pokken.

Never expected to see Blade Arcus anywhere outside of Japan.
Also I recognize the font but, I never remember the title of that game that's all Japanese characters. Tons of footage on acho though.
Nevermind it's called Koihime Enbu, that's right.
EDIT: Oh I didn't know Blade Arcus came out on consoles. No wonder.

HOLY SHIT YES! I own all of those save Blade Arcus. I'd love to see me some Ignition or Nitroplus tourney action. Hell Koihime Enbu is footsie heaven if you're a Street Fighter fan. Really Really looking forward to this. Sad no Arcana Heart or Chaos Code though. I just worry if they'll be able to do Blade Arcus...didn't the DLC cast disappear and is no longer available to download? That could cause setup issues.
;_;
I'll really REALLY miss Arcana Heart.
I'm gonna miss seeing Greats play Dorothy. That character is so amazing to watch in his hands.
If it's anything like Final Round where he made top 8 in SF5 while winning Pokken, UNIEL, DBFCI, and MBCC... no one is safe.

Not like we are getting a new version anytime soon, if ever.

Will probably enter EXVS. Maybe Melty or UNIEL too but I'm not sure yet.

Trust me when I say Dengeki Ignition and Nitroplus are worth seeing tournaments of. Tons of cancel combos, assist setups, and tools abound in those games. Plus in Nitroplus there is the ability to call two assists at the same time plus you have tools like short hops, crumples, wall bounces, launchers, and Xfactory shit on top of a perfect guard style system and rolls. Shit gets crazy fast in those two and tournaments get fucking crazy.
I watched a bit of the Nitroplus tourney that was at... NCR I think? Seemed pretty awesome.

If DacidBro is there, it will happen, bank on it.
Sadly I won't be there for a second shot at the throne.
He beat me at CEO2015, I narrowly got second. Not bad considering I've never played against the guy.
Next time, gadget.

Anyone know if Wolfkrone will be entering this? I know for a fact the dude plays Dengeki Bunko Ignition and mains Qwenthur. Some Wolfkrone tourney footage
In my mind though no one will ever be as cool as Basketball playing Minato. She summons team mates and their ball passes and shots are all left right and high low mixup. Just look at this shit and tell me Dengeki doesn't have some sick tools in its movesets.
Plus when this character activates Trump card she does an armored attack that lunges forward.
A GTFO with armor that leads into her powered up state that has more combo options? Hell yes. Dengeki Minato for life.

I sent Dacid a tweet about Cathy at Evo2016. We'll see, we ain't done yet. Once is just the start.
