I hope base vegeta comes out before EVO so I can run my triple badman team
It'll have a fairly big dropoff next year, with SFV pulling ahead slightly. Street Fighter is constant as the Northern Star.
Congrats to it for blowing the roof off this year, though.

It would be an interesting change of pace but I doubt it will happen
Capcom fighter fanboys would have a fit.
Some are already salty about no Marvel.
4 will die when Smash Switch comes out.
Melee will die only with the heat death of the universe. The sun will have long burned out and people will still be carting CRTs around to tournies.
Just like with SFV in 2016, I suspect a good chunk of those DBFZ players will not show up for the tournament. Probably another 30% of no-shows.
The tweet for those who can't see it.

Hopefully DBFZ closes out EVO. SF goes on way too late for me. SFV finals followed by game announcements then I can go to sleep.
This. Maybe I won't have to book the next day off work, so that'll be a nice bonus.
Putting SFV on last when DBFZ is way more popular is akin to Vince McMahon insisting on Roman Reigns main eventing Wrestlemania instead of Braun Strowman.
number of entrants does not directly equate to viewer numbers, at the last few majors the numbers have been very similar (with sf5 having a slight edge i believe)
SFV should still end EVO. It has a cup/competitive circuit following and a scene supported by the community. Namco hasn't really been doing anything to support the DBFZ scene from what I've seen.
EDIT: Meant supported by the publisher, but the community also supports it.

I think this lack of a world tour, i'll really kill DBFZ after EVO little by little.
SF5 will almost certainly finish it because of TV, CPT, etc etc. The Sunday order is almost certainly gonna end up being Anime > Smash > Tekken> DBZF >SF5 though, that's clear now.
this is a silly thing to say. both are very exciting to watch for some people, and less exciting for others
Meh
But it's better this way since i don't really care for SF and having DB at a decent time is way more important for me
Everytime someone doubt it, SF always brings the hype, every single year. Same with Tekken.
Honestly, I can't say I'm shocked at all from the standings of entry levels. Mind you that I'm going to be very interested to see if DBFZ will have just as many people for next year (since let's be honest, it will likely come back next year) or if after the initial year, the hype for the game dies off and SFV retakes the top position again. Seeing Tekken in third is a nice change of pace, everything after it fits in just as it would.
Speaking of next year, there's a good chance that Soul Calibur 6 will be out this year and maybe apart of the EVO line up once again. I would if it would replace Injustice 2 or something else... Not to mention that if Smash for Switch will be out, that will likely replace Smash for Wii U. Any other fighting games of note? Alot of people thing that MK11's is right around the corner too... Maybe one of ASW's games might get the boot, but either way, I'm excited to see the final numbers.

You can accuse Capcom of several things, but I'm not sure how does lazy apply.
It should but it won't because EVO is too important to the CPT for them to let SFV take a backseat to anime.
You know what I just received a warning for it so it's not worth the time bricking over it
Meh. If a game gets the most entrants, I say let it have the last spot. Who cares if it has a world cup? Should KI have ever gotten the last spot because of its world cup?
SFV will have it's time to shine at the CPT. Let DBFZ have this one.
can i accuse them of being shit with how they treated marvel vs capcom? never fails to surprise me what gets warnings on this board. anyway dbz better be the main game if it ends up having more entrants.
it probably will and SF will always close out.
it won't.
