EVO 2026 Lineup

[SpcDaicon]

EVO has released its lineup for 2026

Great lineup with current mainstream games, new releases, niche games and classics.

Still, I can't shake the feeling Invincible VS is taking the place of Motal Kombat.
All thing considered, it seems even Warner don't care about MK anymore after MK I.

Aside from the obvious choices like Street Fighter, Tekken KoF and Fatal Fury, I'm glad they included Vampire Savior and BlazBlue. Maybe it will reignite some interest in those franchises? I wish...

Are you hyped for any of the games?

VSAV???????? AT EVO?????? everything is gonna be okay.,...

Clearly, Invincible VS took MK spot. You can’t deny MK has been unbalanced and neglected in recent years, but it’s still strange not to see it on the list.

VAMPIRE SAVIOR LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vampire Savior would be cool be to see. I appreciate them bringing back older games like they did with Third Strike last year and MvC2 this year. Other than that though, no interest in watching lol.

You missed the Japan line-up.

I look forward to people seeing Hokuto no Ken for the first time. Game is wacky in all the right ways. Will probably be the only game I watch. Happy to see Vsav and BlazBlue included tho. Also no NRS is a blessing.

I am ready for some legendary rounds.

When oh when will Virtua Fighter Kids get its chance to shine

NRS truly does not care anymore. Kinda puts them in an awkward position. I wonder if MK2 will follow the "reboot" timeline.

a lot of their games just look kind of muddy to me too, like they play kind of clunky and the colors are just kinda bluhhh

 

[DJPlace]

the new blazblue i hate for one reason IT'S NOT FUCKING DUBBED! if iwas in charge of ark system's the game would not be out to everything is dubbed lazy bastards.

VAMPIRE SAVIOR

​

Wow, is that ever a nice surprise, or what?? OldHead Me would still prefer to see Vampire Hunter / Night Warriors in that spot, but... well, I'll take what I can get

I wonder if this is Capcom hinting that more Vampire / Darkstalkers news may be on the horizon soon...?

Also, PSA for those that may be interested - each of the Vampire / Darkstalkers games are a part of Capcom Arcade Stadium 2. And they regularly go on sale for 99 cents. For those that don't want to shell out for a classic copy or track down the Capcom Fighting Collection physical edition, the games are well worth the $3 or so to download the whole series

Hokuto no Ken gotta be the meme pick but it should have being Hunter X Hunter Nen Impact ahahahahahah. At least will be one of the most interesting to watch for the hell of it.

NRS truly does not care anymore.

I wonder if they will put MK in the freezer for some time. It has mainstream appeal but kinda became the Kameo fighter that don't really appeal for the more hardcore market. Nothing wrong with that but it always seemed like some cheap cashgrab for me. "Hey guys! Glop from Brofle Saga is in MK now! Isn't that cool?" or some thing like that

I wonder if MK2 will follow the "reboot" timeline.

Wouldn't surprese my if the reseted the timeline again. They've become exceedingly efficient at it

 

[here4outbreak]

what i think is interesting about invincible specifically is we were given a release of 4.30 but evo is end of june so we only get a month-ish to figure out the game and you wont know whether you'll like the game for sure until its out

i think thats kind of messed up because the other thing is that while registration is technically less than 200 right now its just going to go up by like a lot by the time this one is out
