For the most part, there's been very little interaction between the Street Fighter and Super Smash Bros. communities. You very rarely see the two communities compete with one another in a single game.It seems that is about to change. HyperX is apparently hosting an event on July 18th that will pit a number of top SF5 players up against SSBM games, based on fan votes.One game that is guaranteed to be at the event is Nintendo's newly released Switch game, Arms. While SSBM players are probably more familiar with the Nintendo than the SF5 players, it doesn't seem like either team has any sort of advantage.Team SFV is composed of FOX|Tokido, FOX|Momochi, FOX|Chocoblanka, FOX|Justin Wong, BST|Daigo, CYG|PR Balrog, RB|SnakeEyez, and PG|Punk. Meanwhile, Team SSBM is made up of TL|HungryBox, C9|Mango, FOX|Mew2King, G2|Westballz, TL|Chudat, TL|Chillindude, TL|Ken, and TSM|Leffen.

What a shame.

Street Fighter V was brand new, so a spike in attendance was essentially guaranteed, but at the same time, there was no reason to expect all those first-time attendees to return—especially considering how poorly the game has been selling in general (between May and September of last year, it failed to ship even 100K copies). Nonetheless, it created some unrealistic expectations for future turnouts.Additionally, there's been a change of venue that's doubling ticket prices. Last year's series took place mostly in Vegas, and tickets were about $40 if I'm not mistaken. Now, the entire tournament is taking place at fancy-schmancy Mandalay Bay, which is costing attendees about $80.As for Melee, finals won't be taking place on Sunday—meaning it won't take part on the big stage, which is disappointing for lots of people. Melee's being treated more as a side event now.Either way, it's still a pretty alarming drop.>$80 to watch people press buttons
