Indeed comments on the ensuing thread were almost all reactions to this Genjuro fest as people exclaimed that the repetition quickly became tiresome or comical. You'll notice that no less than six of the top eight finalists used Genjuro, which made for an exceptionally repetitive, mirror match-filled final bracket. HiFight shared both the top eight results and the final moments of the event in a recent tweet. Early tournament results have seen a pretty good mix of characters as players are just getting their bearings, but if brackets play out the way they did at the recent SamSho SNK Official Tournament, things could awry very quickly. The fact that we're one month in might actually be working a bit against SNK's latest fighter here as Genjuro has been discovered as the best character in the game at this point in its exploration. If things go well it could mean an extended lifespan, but if things go poorly it could mean SamSho dries up just a few weeks after EVO.
The fact that SamSho was able to get a spot on the EVO lineup was already a huge win, but it's also very much a double-edged sword in that it's going to be something of a make or break moment.
The quest for nabbing and maintaining the attention of new and untrained eyes is a big deal here in the eSports world of 2019, and there really aren't any stages bigger than EVO. The issue begins with the fact that is that while SamSho is certainly an established figure in the world of fighting games, it isn't nearly as recognizable to the general public as franchises like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, or Tekken. Before going further I should clarify that this isn't to at all say that Samurai Shodown is an exceptionally simple or watered down game there's a ton of intricate decision making that's constantly going on as players methodically position themselves on the screen relative to one another, and trained eyes can very much appreciate all of that.
