well everyone, let's just be a little real and remember that what's officially said isn't always what's actually true
evo isn't officially anti-anime
evo doesn't officially cater to games that are popular and crappy but result in sponsors and money in their bank
evo doesn't officially prefer prettier games for their big tournaments simply out of being prettier
and so on and so forth
yet...
i personally don't think MBAACC has a shot at evo 2012. not so much because of the difficulty it would require to get MBAACC as an official game at evo, but the possible lineup for next year seems like it could be locked down already, there are a ton of big hitters that mb would have to compete with to be an official tournament at evo: ae2012, umvc3, kof13, sfxt, ttt2?, possibly other small ones to consider like skullgirls, vf5, even UNIB (which I would prefer over MB tbh since its newer), this is a lot of competition and i'm pretty sure that once evo staff sits down to consider the the 10 year anniversary lineup, a pc game is going to be ousted fast when you have all those other games to discuss. it doesn't matter all the little things that make it easier than people think to run MBAACC at evo, because 1. it doesn't outweigh the issues you'd have to deal with a PC game tourney 2. quite honestly I don't think you could get the right people to really listen.

So the candidates are: SF4,UMVC3,SFXT,MK9,SC5,BBCSE,SG,KOF13 and now MB. That's 9 games!so true....but will it happen? with these communities, I don't think it's anywhere close to happening.
At this point trying to push one game to "beat" other games for a spot is stupid and unproductive for the scene.
I think it's better if all the communities (while focusing on expanding the current player bases for their respected games) also unite to push for a bigger event with room for more games.
