Mr. Wizard was a guest on WakeUP SRK this evening to announce the EVO 2012 lineup of games.
@3 it says more to come...
SFxT isn't out. For that matter, TTT2 isn't out either. I'm almost certain the 2 will have some sort of presence.
But seriously, SKULLGIRLS4EVO!
wtf with those games, weak. There are many news games coming next year too.
No SFxTekken? LOOOOL! They must be butt hurt about the Gem additions. I'm going to LOL when everyone loves the gems & stuff like that becomes a staple of fighters.
no Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion?? FAIL.
Trolling aside, great line-up. SF2012 and UMvC3 were a given. Excited to see KOF13 in.
Time for me to start making plans to Vegas.
I knew MK9 was a given since it attracted so many players last year. I'm sure the new BlazBlue and Skullgirls will be good games, but the player-base is too small for it to make EVO.
I actually like Tekken 6, but I think last year's top 8 killed any chances of it making it back to EVO (Bob, Bob, Bob, Law, Bob, barf). It truly was a snooze-fest.
All in all, the list was what I expected.
Why isn't Melee in? It's much better than MK9, hell, it's better than SCV too!
Half-trolling aside, I'd love to see TTT2 in there, SFxTK is in but Tekken has no representative game? Weird.
Skullgirls is cool (yeah, I did that), but without a turbo mode... Air dashes doesn't seem that threatening.
Tear shed for BlazBlue, hope BB3 makes it to EVO2k13.
so what happened to Blazblue? not enough fans support? Other fighters hasnt release yet but Blazblue's being out for a long time.
Wait, you're right... There -isn't- any Blazblue on that list...
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGEEEEE!!!!!
I'm excited to see what new tech the Japanese will bring for SSF4, who's going to the new king of UMvC3 and the best KoF and SC player from all over the world competing in one tournament
Not really into MK but would be interested to see if the community has grown or shrunk.
The hype for SFxT isn't what it used to be but that might changed once the game is out.
Strange that there won't be a Tekken game in there.
I love Tekken and all, but 6... just can't get into it like I did past games, even Tekken 4 (which I also didn't care for). And the Tekken finals last year at EVO were PAINFUL to watch.
That said, the BB finals surprised me and I'm surprised it's not back this year.
In any case, KOFXIII is in this year, so I'm satisfied with that! <3
SOUL CALIBUR V!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!! This game looks awesome.
I'm definitely going to EVO now.
My soul still burns!!!!!!
#25 but only cus tekken tag is in.the line up isnt bad but alot of these games need testing like ttt2 and scr5.scr series is known for having broken characters .sfxt....welll...
BUT FOR KOF THATS FREAKIN AWSOME!
well first off, lol'd at anybody who thinks that ANY GAME! coming out of japan isn't heavily influenced by anime.
second, awww at no blazblue return but im always watching videos and streams of tournaments going down in japan so its whatever.
glad soul calibur gets another chance to shine again, oh and king of fighters as well.
the most highest sold and awared fighting game of 2011,mk, making the spot was and easy expection.
a little surprise we won't see any tekken 6 thoe and i don't no why i'm a little salty about SFXT.maybe i'll feel different once its out.
skullgirls,DOA5,TT2,BB3 EVO2k13!
King of Fighters? Hell yeah.
No Third Strike OE? Sad. :[
Glad to see MK back. Although I don't play it anymore, it deserves its spot, easily. Well made game.
UMvC3 is going to be sick this year. The new characters and adjustments have really balanced things out and the competition is just insane now.
People can complain their favorite games didn't get in, but let's face it, if they were going to pick 6 games, they picked the exactly correct 6 games to include. I was really happy to see KOF in there and I hope there's some solid hype for it.
To those complaining about BB not being in: did you come to EVO last year? If not please stop complaining and come this year to support the side tourneys.
Bit peeved that the broken glitchy piece of crap MK9 (seriously, HOW MANY DAMN BALANCE PATCHES HAS IT HAD) was chosen again over Skullgirls, AH3 and others (BB gets a pass since BBCSEX hasn't had a console release yet), but oh well, definately looking forward to EVO this year, hoping it'll be just as good as 2011 was!
LOL @ 56. You serious son? Mk9 has a huge scene compared to AH3 which has a very small virgin weeb scene and Skullgirls isn't out yet and isn't that hyped. Evo has 2 big sponsors being Capcom and Namco so UMVC3, SSF IV, SC V and SF x Tekken where a sure bet. Now Mk which is the most sold fighter of 2011 and KOF XIII which is a pretty good game and really popular with tourney players not just the i sit in front of my computer watching streamed events kind of players.
This line up is perfect really. People complaining about 3 rd strike LOL get it over with 3rd strike is dead. Its a niche game for a really small number of players. Skullgirls isn't that hype and BB well too bad i have nothing to say against it.
I can't wait for Soul Calibur V now. This game is gonna be awesome and will change 3D fighters. I'm really looking foward to that game!!!!!
Dat My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic side-tourney. :3
@56
BBCS:EX has a release date on console in North America on Valentine's Day.
KOF 13 need hype! at the top of any list of HYPE METER 4 EVO, I guess it was just 2 hard 4 casual gamer 2 play REAL fighting game never get there respect !
