@Force_of_Nature I mean, Manny also picked 2018 next year because of the time lapse and development from the team. Same here. TN has no games that are in development at that year so it would make sense to work on the game fully with nothing holding the small team back.
Saying it now. 2018 will be the year when 3D fighters make their presence known this generation. Especially with Tekken 7 going strong (SFV will get some momentum from AE next year however).
(Now if SEGA AM2 could do something about *ahem* VF6)
@Force_of_Nature 2018 is no joke fantastic FG games wise already in general... If DOA6 is announced I'd rather it NOT come out next year there's too much to compete with including their own Dissidia
