EVO is the single largest Fighting Game tournament in the world, and annually gathers in Las Vegas to find the strongest players across a multitude of games. Big old names in the scene, new kids on the block, massive upsets... there will be no shortage of hype, tears, and drama to be found. It's over!

Bookmarked. I'll be watching a lot of random crappy pool play on Friday, which usually winds up being my favorite part of the event these years with how ad-bloated the finals have become. Can't wait to see a bunch of random schmucks in Strive pools whiffing Riot Stomp and doing insane PRCs for no reason.

I wonder how many upsets there will be in sf6 pools and how many unknowns make the top 64. The net code for the game is so good there is probably no shortage of online warriors who can steal a set from a recognized player on their best day.

Happy to see JMCrofts in the commentary lineup, he's one of the better FGC content creators in my opinion. Real goofy and likable guy I'm really excited to see how SF6 shakes out with its first EVO. Any industry announcements / showcases will be a nice bonus as well. Overall just looking forward to a good rear end weekend of gaming

Dear Ricky Ho, My name is Gavok and I have been very good for the last year. My brother says you're not real and that you're just a fictional character from a Hong Kong movie and the first year of the Daily Show and that my dad is really the one punching giant holes through our walls, but I know that's not true. Feel free to smash my brother's skull into a thousand pieces for his insolence. For this Evo, I would like a Tekken 8 Yoshimitsu trailer, confirmation that Havik is going to be in Mortal Kombat 1, Chang Koehan DLC for King of Fighters 15, a new Killer Instinct, and an announcement for a Capcom Marvel collection for modern consoles. And as always, please let the tournaments be hype as hell and not go too long over schedule. That's pretty much it. You are free now. Happy Evo, Gavok P.S. Is there any chance Mace: The Dark Age could be rereleased on the Switch?

Thanks for the thorough OP, Saoshyant! Love EVO weekend, looks like I'm set this weekend to catch the SF6 Top 6 live, too which will be fantastic. Gotta try and fit as much of the pools and other games in wherever I can. Good luck to all our goon competitors!

They're probably going to be jet lagged as gently caress arriving late tonight, and pools start bright and early tomorrow. Imagine going through all that hassle changing flights and you get knocked out in pools
