I really hope we see the FP3 for gulty gear here!
@Anti-Matter Evo is a fighting game event, DDR would never be apart of it, stupid popular or not.
Nice line up this year. I sorta want to go but at the same time I just like to hop in and out of streams.
I just hate that shoryuken didn’t survive. Especially the OG version with all the tech talk posts. So much knowledge lost. I used to live on those forums.
I wonder if KI Arcade version can be released on Nintendo Switch someday. Remembered playing on the SNES that came with the CD soundtrack. The ultra combos were cool.
I don't play many fighting games anymore, outside of Super Smash Bros or the occasional MK11 match. So this wouldn't necessarily be on my radar to follow. But as for the surprise announcement, I'll take a stab in the dark on what it might be. I'll say it's either Namco Bandai announcing a new Soulcalibur or Sega announcing a new Virtua Fighter
Unless it’s Sega coming back for Virtua fighter then don’t care.
One game, one game.. a new Killer instinct game. That would be enough for years. Loved the previous KI on pc/xbox and the graphics update. Still play it alot.
One day, Evo will include Sonic Battle (GBA)!
We need a new Bushido Blade... Or at least port the Deadliest Warrior games to Switch!
It's the same IPs every year just with different entry. More companies need to make more fighting games or else EVO will just feel generic like always. I like how they pretend the Rare versions doesn't exist otherwise Killer Instinct is going on 30 years, not 10 like it was here.
I wonder if anyone at the Skullgirls panel will get asked how it feels censoring their game for EVO only to not make the lineup.
