that´s what we all want to happen but I am going to be the killjoy here...

>My only concern being that positive attention it gets draws in outsiders who ruin it.
TFH integrating in the EVO lineup is a huge achievement that one cannot overlook at all but let´s keep our hooves on earth, shall we?

Sure the popularity might rise and it can perfectly be integrate naturally in the category of competitive fighting games (it might have already accomplished that) but not everything is as bright and colourful as it looks. Becoming a part of EVO implies that TFH will be put under the radar of the entire fighting game community (FGC) and you know what that means, the same philosophy that the FGC has had might be translated on this game as well. I am already imagining the classic Smash vs FGC debates but with TFH involved in the middle of it.

On the bright side, bronies are seen as one of the greatest peaks of autism/degeneration on the internet so the problems from the FGC might not affect all that much because the fanbase is immune to all kinds of negative criticism from the outside. Either way, relatively speaking, this change might end up being a trifle in comparison to what the fanbase dealt in the past.

Still, we´ll see how the chemistry gets developed in the upcoming months and how this EVO tournament plays out.
