Pokken is in?
???

?????

yeah

 

[Tripon]

Well, there will be a Pokken competitive scene for sure.

 

[BoosterDuck]

where's marvel

 

[Beckx]

Someone better bring a dog to Evo for Pokken finals.

@honzogonzo
if pokken is at evo I will lick a dogs asshole

 

[DryEyeRelief]

so how many games will evo have?

 

[mbpm1]

Pokken...well, hope people turn up

 

[skLaFarebear]

You were the chosen one Floe.

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DO IT

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Mahvel never dies

 

[Beckx]

Oh the salt this lineup is going to generate

I wish I could bottle and sell it.

 

[Tripon]

And Tekken 7 is back.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

despite completely expecting it, still disappointed I wont be going to evo

 

[TheChits]

Harada PLEASE

 

[FadedRevolution]

damn 9 games

 

[Osu 16 Bit]

Tekken 7 being an EVO game for 2 years without actually being released in the West is like completely insane.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Zhi's sn in the chat has a staff icon. He works for twitch now?

 

[NEO0MJ]

I knew it. Praise me. Praise me!

You guys are missing the obvious. Pokken is coming to EVO! Why else would they implement LAN and give it its own custom wired controller?!

 

[mbpm1]

Call it T7's beta test

 

[MrDaravon]

Pokken is a legit surprise to me; have followed it zero so I don't personally care either way, but I figured between it being brand new and logistical concerns (need double setups essentially) it wouldn't make it, especially not at the expense of USF4. Also I'm kind of glad to see USF4 gone, not gonna lie lol.

That said honestly not sure I'm a fan of Tekken 7 getting in for a second year in a row without any sort of home console release or official release in the US of any kind. I love Markman and I'm actually really looking forward to the game, but if I was a dedicated player of a game that didn't make it into Evo and this game with no home release made it in back to back years I'd be pretty pissed. I dunno, not really feeling how it's making it in over actually released games (despite really looking forward to it's release).

 

[skLaFarebear]

Elphelt made it into Tekken too?

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I hope there is USF4 side tourney at EVO at least.

 

[FadedRevolution]

I hope there is USF4 side tourney at EVO at least.

I'm pretty certain that it will have a side tournament.

 

[Tripon]

Will you marry Nina?

 

[BoosterDuck]

ESPOOOOOOOOOOORTS

What other scenes honestly thought they had a chance?

 

[shaowebb]

Thats a LOT of new games.

 

[Marz]

Evo has now reached the point where there are more Nintendo games than Capcom games.

 

[Hex]

Evo has now reached the point where there are more Nintendo games than Capcom games.

We really need a new Virtua Fighter and need the new King of Fighters to be good.

 

[ShinMaruku]

No SF4. Praise be. :E

 

[Swarna]

The only way I can reconcile SF4 not being at Evo is if Marvel niggas gotta wake up at 9.

 

[call_kotaku]

sort of surprised that Pokken got in instead of Blazblue

isn't that game bombing super hard in Japan?

 

[Amedo310]

Sunday games announced:
SFV
Marvel
Mkx
Melee
Xrdr

Marvel no longer primetime status.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

You know guilty gear is still going to be the 9 am game.

 

[Osu 16 Bit]

I'm emo EVO is now going to be held in an arena after I have retired.

 

[Neoxon]

Called it

• Street Fighter V
• Super Smash Bros. Melee
• Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
• Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-
• Mortal Kombat X
• Killer Instinct
• Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
• Tekken 7

I didn't see that coming

• Pokkén Tournament

R.I.P.

• Ultra Street Fighter IV

 

[notworksafe]

welp, glad i had a nice streak of evo attendances before it went downhill

 

[Zissou]

Thats a LOT of new games.

Isn't that like... 2 new games?

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

My steam is skipping. Is the finals days at the Thomas and Mack? Is that the arena they are talking about?

 

[QisTopTier]

welp, glad i had a nice streak of evo attendances before it went downhill

I see nothing wrong with that list. Or what they have said

 

[Tripon]

Isn't that like... 2 new games?

SFV, Pokken and Tekken 7:Fated Retribution.

 

[Crocodile]

Tekken 7 being an EVO game for 2 years without actually being released in the West is like completely insane.

Yeah that's super weird. Doesn't that mean that just huge swaths of players won't get to ever touch it?

 

[shaowebb]

Isn't that like... 2 new games?

Revelator, Pokken, SFV, Tekken 7 Fated Retribution are all titles I see as "new" since folks will be very very green at them. Should be an interesting EVO.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

RIP USF4. The King is dead. Long live the King.

 

[notworksafe]

I see nothing wrong with that list. Or what they have said

nothing about the locations or having to buy two tickets sounds appealing in the slightest. westgate is a trash heap, having to take the monorail to the event is a buzzkill, being off strip is weak as hell, having to buy a second ticket for finals and most likely pay more to have a decent seat is ridiculous.

 

[oneida]

We really need a new Virtua Fighter and need the new King of Fighters to be good.

this would be nice

 

[Zissou]

Interesting = sending Japan an economic stimulus package.

 

[BoosterDuck]

RIP USF4. The King is dead. Long live the King.

The king of what?

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Holy shit, we're getting Tekken 7 before EVO???

 

[LegatoB]

Holy shit, we're getting Tekken 7 before EVO???

I remember when I was young and hopeful like this.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

The king of what?

King of number pulls.

 

[Busaiku]

I knew it. Praise me. Praise me!

I mean, it's not like Pokémon doesn't have its own competitive tournament series they host annually.
LAN is just for Evo moneyhats.
