EVO 2011 games lineup announced

SSF4 GET HYPE !

damn a bunch of pretty new games! interesting none the less

ABOUT DAMN TIME FOR MK9! The only problem is the fatalities, though...

Lol Mortal Kombat

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! CANT WAIT!!!

Mortal Kombat FTW! Can't wait.

MORTAL KOMBAT, MVC3 AND AE HERE I COME!!!!!

HELL YEAH SOME MORTAL KOMBAT!

MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh I already posted lol

I AM SO GODDAMN HYPE FOR MORTAL KOMBAT 9

Also MVC3, of course.

Glad MK is back, even if it's just for this one year.

I think it can stack up to the likes of Tekken if it's done right.

And I loves me some Tekken.

only thing i don't like about that list is no TvC or HD Remix,but other then that,HYYPEE!!

oh and kof needs some love too.

Great Games. I'll Be There Watching The Whole Tournament =)Hope To See You Guys There =)

i have a distinct feeling that this page will turn into

FANBOY WARZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The top 3 are solid games, but the bottom 2 are a waste of space. Blazblu? pfft........mk9? that series has been dead for 20 years now. It was only popular because of next gen graphics at the time, but the fighting system itself left alot to be desired.

@17 pfft, capcom fanboy?

Excellent lineup. I'm glad MK9's gonna be there even though it comes out in April.

I'm so hype for MK and MvC3 obviously. I could care less about Tekken and
AE to be honest. Also BB will be awesome as usual. Dissapointed about no Arcana Hearts though.

the 1rst bullet is shot!

@SpaniardSRK

whadaya mean Blazblue pff? you clearly don't know sufficient info about that game. Doesn't mean it doesn't deserve its spot up there. high quality game right there

I don't personally care about MK9, but I think it's gonna be hilarous to watch.

R.I.P.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo

@23 better then being a capcom fanboy,i like most fighters unlike some people that are picky.

Hopefully MK9 isn't completely broken.

More importantly, hopefully AE is out by June 1st so it can be used at Evo

YESSSSSSSSS! MK9 is in!

All those game suck!!! (Hater beatdown) lol.

i called it first!

the fanboy wars have begun!

Mortal Kombat is a joke. Always has been and always will be. I watched some of the videos for 9 and it looks retarded. None of the hits look like they should have landed. I was hoping they would actually keep their word this time and not make anymore of them.

Super Street Fighter 4 (AE DLC if available in time)
You're screwed if there isn't an arcade around where you live. You're lucky if you live nearby an arcade, you can play the game for more than a half year, while others don't know how to fight with all the tweaks and how to handle the new characters.

#19

Evo is in July...

nice to see MK in there.. i still have my doubts, but im really rooting for the new MK to be as solid as any other fighter out there.. get hype!!

How can you not be hyped for MK. F'n haters.

Whats funny is you will all watch it too... because it's hype. MK has sucked for a long time... but this game will different. Going back to it's roots where it went toe to toe with Capcom.

Also, why isn't KoF13 on that list?

Mortal Kombat oh yeah!!!!! after beating a hard opponent just Fatality their arse to release your frustration hah

MK9 might end up being a good game. I won't buy it but I'll certainly give it a try or two. That said as #30 Ghier99 state, the interactions between character models look often funky. And they move as if they had a stick in the butthole. Also the juggling aspect of the game, which appears to me as being potentially really entertaining, looks kinda retarded haha. (Tekken 6's juggle looks no better)

*sorry about that

@ Ghier99 #30

I agree with you 100%.

@36 I understand what your saying,even if it's not tournament worthy to you,at least you like mk somewhat and don't straight out bash it like other people. Not a fanboy of any game,since i like almost all fighters,mk just needs to be given a chance.

Oh great, 2 games that aren't out yet on the roster. That'll sure turn out great. Three-ish if you count the possibility of AE(though AE is technically out in arcades, but the "-ish" covers that).

Mortal Kombat, can't wait!

WHAT! NO MVC2? :(

Yes MK9 FTFW! and it's on ps3!! :) I can't wait to go and represent HTOWN WOOT WOOT!!

I'm glad MK9 made it I was worried but YES YES YES

Shut up Capcom Whores, all new fighting games are not going to play like SF4 and I'm glad they won't!

MK9 will be a great fighter.

#36

UMK3 has a good scene and good tournaments when they have those.

MK9 is going to be a new game and I'm sure there is going to be a lot of new fans that want to get into that game and going to keep the game strong.

Just wait and see.

where are all the FIGHTING game fans?, that appreciate a little of everything from everyone?? Enough senseless comparisons; embrace this renaissance of fighting game goodness ;)

Me? super hype for mvc3 at evo ^_^ and definitely gonna peep out street fighter and blazblue. I'm not an avid fan of the tekken and mk, but I'm not gonna sit here and hate on them. Hell, there's no solid reason not to see how mk at least shapes up..

I was hoping MB:AA would return for a 2nd year... if that were the case I'd book a room and make my way to Las Vegas... but since it's not to be I guess I'm watching the stream from the comfort of my own home.

Was REALLY hoping to see MB:AA or even AH3 but I guess i'll just have to settle for side-tourneys and casuals. Still kinda concerned they decided to put in MK9 even though its still in development but we shall see.

@#35 THawk

KOFXIII is not on the list because it's arcade only and so far SNK hasn't announced & confirmed a console release.

Yes Mortal Kombat made it!!! It better get some stream time too. And get some MK pros to commentate too so people can understand the game a bit more.

#46 It's probably gonna move to the 5 dollar tournaments since MvC3 is taking over so it will be there but MvC3 is gonna get all the attention because it's brand new and EVERYONE is gonna play it.

#31 Im sure AE will be ready before EVO, they know how big this tournament is. And arcades should have made their money back by then. Especially for a $1 a pop.

I'm looking forward to kof13 if it ever comes out, I have kof12 and really enjoyed it, and supposedly kof 13 is light years ahead of this game. CVS for scrubs like you, midway has always promised with every MK game that MK is back this and that......deadly alliance and other incarnations, also mk vs dc........always dissapointed.

@56 Your the scrub there spaintard,go d!ck ride capcom some more.

No Turbo? I understand it but still, end of an era, ya know?

Woot Continuum Shift. I wonder if it will change to Continuum Shift II if the DLC shows up before the date.

TvC needs to be added to this list. If you can't add any more, replace Mortal Kombat.

MK9. yes. now thats wut u call a manly game. blood, guts and the sick custom combo system. it has no childish characters, plus tag team modes. thats wut u call a hardcore game. i love ssf4, but same old game. *snore*. mvc is ok, but its going to end up bein storm, magnito, sentinal vs storm, magnito, and sentinal. *snore*. let the bloodshed begin. :)

they should just release third strike online edition and have it there too.

MK9 what what!!!.... Getting some EVO love. Hopefully it turns out to be a good competitive game.
oh yeah..comparing MK9 to say SSF4.... you an IDIOT!
MK9 going back to its root and I have NO DOUBT it will have a BIG scene, unlike the previous....
EVO is getting it done right.. Move on...out with the old in with the new..

Soon it will be "stickless" arcade sticks only..LMAO!!!

How do they even know if mk9 I'd worthy of being played at a competitive level if it hasn't even came out yet? That game looks Eh. The characters move like they have a cock up they a$$.

does anyone know which version they're playing MK9 w/ cause i didn't listen to the podcast? 360 doesn't have an exclusive (at least not right now)

Mk9 is too much of a gamble, if it's netcode is crap it'll be d.o.a. as soon as it hits the shelves.

@64 Ps3 version since sony help's sponsor evolution.

It is all on Ps3, every game at the tournament. But for MK9 Kratos is banned, due to 360 players not being able to train up against him. So sad :(

@66

thx.

@67

that's why i really didn't want kratos in the game cause it divides people and tourneys. i felt MK could have stood on it's own. oh well.

I'm happy with this line up

will they change it to BB:CS2 if the update comes before then?

@69 I'm think so because they are considering the same thing with ssf4,if the update is out for both games by then,then it just might happen.

MK9 at Evo? Sick. Bout time.

And.... So it begins....... >: )

@ #35
Because KOFXIII doesn't have a console release that's why. As much as i'd love one to come out its probably not happening right now.

I wanted to go for tvc wth =(

quit hating on MK9

I guess MvC is like the more attractive older sister so TvC is getting kicked to the curb.

wow, they droped turbo/hdr. I guess that means it really over.

If Evo allowed MK into the circle, then that means they played some build of the game, and that's basically confirmation the game is going to be a competent balanced fighter. All the "lol MK" comments are just small-minded people who are stuck in their ways.

wtf, no KoF...
fail hard!

Why is it not held in Japan anymore?

3s had a long run.

I really, really, REALLY hope this year's EVO is better than last year's. Last year it was horrible for us "unimportant" people.

MK9 and MvC3 are the only ones I'll be watching. Time for something new and fresh. It's 2011 not 2009.

BRING IT ON!!!!
So pumped for this. I'm entering for the first time, though the only one I will be actually playing is SSF4.
MvC3? Maybe, if I get the hang of it.
But I'm interested in seeing ppl in MK9. That's going to be Delish

whats the issue with fatalaties in mk9? im confused

Seriously, MK9 over AH3? Clearly, Wizard is far more concerned of how a game appears aesthetically than the complexity of it's mechanic. How dissapointing.

@ Lue

You clearly know nothing about MK9's new mechanics.

@ 63

If that's how you feel, then you can put mvc3 in that category too. The general public hasn't had a chance to play with that game have we? NO!!

why is everyone callin the new mk game mk9 they rebooted the game its just mortal kombat one

@ thefighter01

No, it's an official sequel. Specifically, it's a time travel story, so it brings in the events from the early games.

MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!

OH OK THANKS FOR THE INFO THEN THEY SHOULD PUT NUMBER NINE ON IT THEN JUST SAYIN LOL BTW WERES ALL MY GAMERS FROM THE 90S XD HOPE YOU GUYS STILL ROCKIN IT

AH3 isn't even available in the West yet, so if I recall, the only way to play it on console is to get it imported, no?

Why would they have a game not even available for a majority of the people at EVO?

If I'm wrong please correct me.

Why not there is no TvC? Or SSF2T? Or SF3:TS? So basically, they just pick all the recent games and forgot all the classic ones.

no ST??? there seems to be less games here

Dude, MK9!

I bet it's going to be as awesome as it was back in its glory days in the arcade....which is to say, mediocre.

damn I will need to save quite a bit of money i order to play in all of these games I plan on participating in all of the games this year except for tekken 6

with main focus on MVC 3, ssf4, and BB cs MK9 is ok I played it a few times already at events and trust me its worthy of being at EVO its a really good fighter

@97 Your mediocre.

@94 That shouldn't matter. The list should depend on the games that generate the most popularity. Why did they take off the people's choice poll? Looks like the stopped giving a damn about what the community wants and just went with the assumptions that they thought would generate the most money. Great stuff, Great stuff... =/

@ 89 hey genius it's a given that mvc3 I'd going to be played at a competitive level judging from videos,interviews and plenty of players from around the world that have got they hands on different builds of the game.
