Certainly the game will show up in more tournaments, but this was the one. I find it really hard to believe the game will ever get in such a “mainstage” spotlight by chance as this tournament was going to be (pretty much an entire weekend for itself on what was the biggest tournament of the year on an international scale). Combo Breaker ^{(my current favorite)} and CEO will certainly keep trucking but those feel more like really big community-centered events instead of the gigantic e-sports worldwide olympics scale that EVO had. And one can also guess eventually something will replace EVO, but that will be far away from the little time this game is having on the mainstream… It’s going to be a very steep cliff to climb into this spot again once this pandemic is over and the usual giants come back to take their spots (but hey! UNI did it, so there is hope).
 
Still, Manesix did the right thing, they got a pretty rotten deal with all this going down ONE FREAKING DAY before their tournament started and knowing what they were throwing when doing what they did. So I have nothing but admiration for them.

I could totally see some of the other big tournaments picking up the Online EVO games for their lineup. Like as you said ComboBreaker or CEO etc. That will end up being exposure just as big as EVO since I have a feeling it will take a while for EVO to pick itself back up if it even can.

@northern haste  
We still got the attention we couldn’t think of, and it was right after game went 1.0. We got influx of players and the game isn’t so unknown anymore, people actually gave it a try at last despite all the stigma and “pony game” memes around it, and they were not disappointed.  
We’ll get ’em next time. ComboBreaker scheduled for the next year for sure.

Toppest of keks

@IceKitsune  
Well, joke’s on him; look what happened to TFH now.

@Joshua  
In that disscussion yes

@IceKitsune  
And he was the only one with that dumb opinion?

@Joshua  
They were on the 1.0 announcement video that got featured a little bit ago arguing that TFH is a dead game that the fandom shouldn’t try to promote at all. They seemingly expected an indie fighting game to do Street Fighter 5 and Mortal Kombat 11 numbers of people constantly playing it online.
 
Edit: BTW just to make this clear even after this EVO bump it still will almost certainly not be doing that kind of numbers just in case someone wants to argue that. It will raise the profile of the game in the FGC immensely but it will likely never get to the level of a Capcom or NRS game.

Should I know him?

 
Where’s this guy at now?

@Background Pony #76AF  
This one isn’t Hasbro’s fault, at least not completely anyway, the rights issues for Power Ranger/Super Sentai is very complicated around the world. From what I have heard some places can’t even buy BFTG because of those issues which is more likely why it didn’t get in than just Hasbro itself.

@ScyStorm  
Hasbro really hates fun

@gato  
Power Rangers has to be a licensing hellscape not seen since TvC. Sometimes we’re lucky DBFZ is still allowed at EVO, so sadly, BtfG didn’t have much of a chance.

@Minus  
To add to this, a lot of people are asking how TFH made it and Battle for the Grid didn’t… and I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason behind it is because of THE TROUBLES associated with Hasbro (or most likely, the Power Rangers brand in general).

So we have come full circle?

@Background Pony #A0CF  
Well, yeah. Exactly. That’s where my crossover idea came from.

@Joshua  
There have been some skullgirls/blazblue crossover into TFH already (even though it’s just some avatar skins). See https://derpibooru.org/images/1658250

EVO can be partially blamed for the game’s original cancellation, as it brought massive monetary attention to the game without the team’s consent and alerted Hasbro to it. TFH returning to EVO after that blunder is nice, shows there’s no hard feelings. And now it’s fully complete too, and a proper entrant, it feels like this has been very long time coming.

If this succeeds, especially when it’s online due to you know who, maybe a console port can be nice. (Looking at you, ArcSys)

Needless to say, they deserved this after what happened last time.

This is going to show the game off to soooo many people. This is such amazing exposure for this game it’s not even funny maybe if EVO does more online stuff it could become a staple game alongside Skullgirls and KI. Even if it doesn’t this will raise this games profile massively in the FGC and likely get it good side tourneys for years.

@Crimsonphoenix  
Hence the question.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
It’s nowhere to be seen in the announcement video.
