EVO showrunner Joey Cuellar has posted a breakdown of how many entrants each game at EVO 2015 has raked in. Naturally, Ultra Street Fighter IV is at #1, but Super Smash Bros. for Wii U occupies the #2 spot. Here’s a look at the list: Ultra Street Fighter IV – 2,227 Super Smash Bros. for Wii U – 1,926 Super Smash Bros. Melee – 1,869 Mortal Kombat X – 1,162 Guilty Gear Xrd – 968 Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 – 816 Tekken 7 – 458 Persona 4 Arena Ultimax – 437 Killer Instinct – 397 It’s good to see so much interest in both Smash for Wii U, as well as Mortal Kombat X. It’s also interesting how Killer Instinct is actually lower on the scale than Persona 4, and how Tekken 7 isn’t much higher than either one.
