EVO Reveals Its Fighting Roster For 2023

MARVEL RETURNS

Unless they had it last year, didn't check

Ha what do you know MultiVersus is nowhere to be seen. Seems like the game is now dead before it even went anywhere.

Shame no Smash still. That’s the only fighting game I like to see played at high levels.

@Serpenterror Joins the pile with the rest of dead Smash ripoffs, oh I’m sorry, “platform fighters”.

Defo watching SF. But may watch GG and melty blood. Always happy to see marvel but wish Samsho would get some love. I enjoyed the reboot.

Kind of stunned they brought back MK11 given I remember hearing its viewership numbers were dire in the past and that was back when the game was still particularly relevant.

Man, I was kinda hoping for DNF Duel. Love that game to death, too bad it didn’t gain that much traction

@Lizuka That game is so boring it was putting people to sleep. Worst title on here by a long shot. They should have brought back MKXL.

@MsJubilee Other than the story mode, yeah I agree everything else about that game was quite boring. I did enjoy Story Mode up til the part where the good guys are winning but then the DLC story came and ruin everything.

EVO just isn't EVO without Mahvel; glad to see it back.

I should pick up KOFXV again... I used to be AMAZING with Terry.

This is a sony event now, all games are played on a ps4 as of this year.

It’s unfortunate, but I don’t see why this is a news article for a Nintendo website anymore.

@Friendly because some of these games are multiplat including switch. Switch owners of those games will care that they go to EVO.

@Ryu_Niiyama that’s true. I stand corrected.

Still a shame Sony bought evo as the smash tournaments were the biggest gaming event I looked forward to each year.

I’m now stoked to see SF VI though. Can’t wait to play it on my series X or next year on Nintendo’s next console 💪

‘Everyone is here’ they said

Where's Sonic Battle? I wanna crush the competition!

Can't wait to see the Chipotle fights!

“Everyone is here!”

The irony using that quote, as clearly everyone is not here.

Sony bought EVO with their big wallet and turned fighting games into cannon fooder for their console war. Shame on them.

@bonjong23 Ripoffs? It's a genre, you can't own a genre.

SF6 and UMVC3? I might watch EVO this year even without Smash.

Smash was fun to watch... and Injustice... maybe SF is still fun.

Did I miss it, or does the article not mention the dates for this event?

Would've switched out Mortal Kombat 11 to Samurai Showdown.

@Friendly yeah I am super happy to return to xbox for SF. If it goes to Nintendo… I’ma lose my mind.

Only shocker is Marvel 3, but also not that shocking choice. More excited for Street Fighter 6 but with the recent Capcom Cup (mainly the prize pool) EVO and Sony have to up their game a lot.

@Ryu_Niiyama I can’t see Capcom not release all of their current gen games on Nintendo’s next console though. Tons of great games to catch up on if the next system also is portable (crosses fingers).

This made me laugh. Thank you.
