Evo (Vegas) is this weekend. Any one watching? Any one going? If so, which games are you following or playing?
They’re featuring the 8 main games (pictured) - Street Fighter VI, Tekken 8, Guilty Gear Strive, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, Under-Night In-Birth II: Sys Celes, Mortal Kombat 1, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, and the retro title for this year, Marvel vs Capcom 2.
There’s also an “extended lineup” - with Rivals of Aether II, Blazblue Central Fiction, Capcom vs SNK 2, Virtua Fighter 5: REVO, King of Fighters XV, Samurai Shodown, Guilty Gear Xrd, and Killer Instinct (fairly sure both SS and KI are the recent ones, lol)

I’m hosting a day 2 watch party, and going to a final day watch party that’s hosted by a local FGC group.
Personally I’m most interested in SF6 and Uni2. Going to have a good crowd and multiple screens set up at my place so we can have two or three of the Evo streams playing, plus one setup for casuals.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
Haven’t been able to follow much of it, but it does my heart good to tune in and see CvS2 and MvC2 going.
