Evolution 2015 Fighting Game Tournament

Mr. Wizard just confirmed the list of games making it this year(with Mike Ross put on blast)

1)Ultra Street Fighter IV
2)Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
3)Guilty Gear XRD
4)Super Smash Bros. For Wii U
5)Killer Instinct
6)Mortal Kombat X
7)Persona 4:The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold/P4 Arena Ultimax
8)Super Smash Bros. Melee
9)Tekken 7(yes you read that right)


Hyped as shit. Lack of Blazblue stings but more people would rather play Guilty Gear over it. Tekken 7 is interesting because Harada is bringing the Japanese arcade version and it'll be the first global tournament the game is having, even though the console version hasn't been announced yet(arcade version comes out next month if I remember right)

Two anime games, two generations of Smash Bros, and the arcade version of Tekken 7. How can you NOT be hyped about this?

Ugh might be me being butthurt but not seeing UNIEL up there and seeing Persona just hurts my soul a bit. UNIEl is probably the truest successor to Melty Blood out there and I'm really upset the game hasn't gained traction in the US. I imported this shit and play it all the time, I'm a little upset everyone else doesn't feel this way.

I'm only interested in GGXrd and Tekken 7. Slightly interested in Persona.

Geez, even after one of the hypest EVO finals for last year, they'd give Marvel another year and not BlazBlue? Come on.

Ah well I was hoping to see KOFXIII for at least another year, but it seems like its userbase has pretty much died out. Well at least it was enjoyable during the time it was there.As for Tekken I'm anxious to see what Tekken 7 will be like and seeing as how it'll be an EVO game maybe it'll be released a few months before the event.

SF will always have a place at EVO seeing as how Capcom is one of EVO's biggest sponsors... but UMVC3? I thought that game was dead by now.

I'll be there and will be training here in Japan for USFIV. I am excited for the line-up though, but upset there is no KoFXIII or BBCP. Tekken 7 will look interesting though, and I'm stoked to watch that game.

First stop before EVO though, I'll be heading over to the Philippines to train with the Imperium Pro Team in Manila. I know a few cats there that can help me improve my game before then. Otherwise, I'll be training at the arcades here in Japan.

>Mfw Marvel is still popular enough in America to get a spot at EVO.
>Mfw Smash is getting two spots to capitalize on that popularity bandwagon.
>Mfw Smash is getting two spots but UNIEL, Skullgirls, KOF XIII, Gundam, and DOA 5: LR are just going to be going to be side games because Smash totally need two spots.
>Mfw Fall Classic showed that DOA5 could be taken seriously and be hype but has yet to be given a spot at EVO because I guess only 1 3d game per EVO and yet Smash gets two spots.
