So like, are they gonna fly japanese players to a room with good internet in the US or are we going to see some horrible intercontinental lag?
Or is it gonna be USA only?
KI is like the only game I think you could play US-> Japan

Damn, super happy for all four games open bracket games. Each one is absolutely excellent. Bit of a shame we could not get Battle for the Grid to round it out though.
My guess is nobody is flying and those exhibitions will be regional.
Well if this is what gets skull girls in in some respect I'll take it.
What needed fixing?

Given how certain Smash fans responded (for 2 whole years) to Melee being dropped, how's it looking so far after this news?
Smash fans are mostly making fun of Nintendo and agreeing with the decision, from what my Twitter browsing shows me.
Even the "certain" fans.
Honestly, most smash players are aware of how bad the netcode is and are just kind of shrugging it off.
Nobody wants to play against wifi warriors.
for now, shockingly reasonable.
Even Smash fans can't justify its online... probably
I don't have the Switch version to confirm, but I think it was on a completely different branch of the code from the other versions, due mostly to the fact that Lab Zero hadn't even been told it was happening?
At least that's what I heard the situation was. Not "broken", just... yeah, weird.

Review: Skullgirls 2nd Encore (Switch) - A Western 2D Fighter That Might Surprise You
It’s (show)time!
www.nintendolife.com
I'm honestly baffled by this review. Like I'm glad you enjoyed it, but the Switch version has many notable blemishes that go unmentioned. Ear-piercing audio bugs in every battle. Lack of voices in story mode despite it being advertised. Some really weird graphical glitches with certain attacks and background characters, like Squigly getting multiple Leviathans after certain attacks.
Skullgirls 2nd Encore Is a Classic, But the Switch Port Has Some Issues
The Switch version has a few bugs at the moment, but Skullgirls is still one of the best fighting games ever made.

here are also a couple of bugs that affect the game's sound. The first of these regards the game's story mode. Other versions of the game have a "fully-voiced" story mode—voice actors deliver every line. The Switch version, at the moment, offers no such voice acting. The other sound bug messes with the game's background music. Some stages will occasionally load without a backing soundtrack, which is super odd and eerie. I've also heard others complain about stages playing two songs at once, but I haven't experienced this issue directly.
Finally, 12 of the game's 23 stages are currently "locked" on the Switch version of the game. 2nd Encore is supposed to be the definitive edition of Skullgirls, and that means it should come complete with every character, color, and stage. That's how it works on other platforms, and I'm sure this is just an unfortunate oversight that will soon be corrected.
So the Switch version has some issues. However, the good news is that all of these problems are likely going to be fixed. The team behind the port (Skybound Games) is "aware" of the bugs, and they are trying to make things right. Soon, this game will be (almost) as good as it is on other platforms.
We can't. There was a whole twitter campaign called #FixUltimateOnline not too long ago.
Awesome.
Can't wait to lose in the first round.
I'll consider it a pyrrhic victory if as a wifi warrior I can't be avoided by someone who would prefer not to play against wifi , mwahahaha.

Considering a bunch of players inc. MKLeo said they're never competing online again they're probably fine with it
Exactly. EVO Online was likely never going to get enough of the big players in a Smash Ultimate online tourney anyway after the recent community held online tourneys since the pandemic turned a bunch of them off.
skull girls is like 2 dollars, time to start.
I'm pleased by this lineup. Those that want the original lineup will still get to see exhibitions, but the games with the best netcode get the tournaments. I consider this an overall win.
Smash being completely gone, though? Can't help but laugh.

You know your right.
Both the ethernet and wifi in smash multiplayer are garbage.
All the original games had trash netcode which is why they're all gone and limited to exhibitions, and the exhibitions are likely so they can hold a fake "top 8" day that has all the announcements planned for the original Evo. I'm just really happy that Evo actually went through with this and shot all the delay based games.
nice to know. hope the gamestop listing is true and gets a normal retail release
If it's the 360/PS3 version, it's going to be hella interesting to see how the meta changes.
When it comes to the exhibitions I actually expect them to just fly in a pre-selected top 8 for a small local tournament. American Tekken ain't good enough to just watch Anakin smoke everyone on 3 bars.
That's what i'm thinking, Well maybe not Legacy Collection but a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 remaster announce and release in the coming months before EVO2020
There is no comparing the SFV netcode and the smash netcode. They are not in the same universe of bad.
I just want to know if it'll take 5 weeks to run all the tournaments, or just every tournament 1 week at a time.
Man even the Smash fans are rightfully dragging Ultimate for getting dropped. Probably had better online play on the fucking Sega Saturn than on Ultimate at times.
shame Power Rangers couldn't make it, but I wonder how much licensing or Saban fuckery came up here
biggest winners have got to be KI, MK11, and Skullgirls
