I, for one, look forward to our own Chris Moyse defeating SonicFox in the Mortal Kombat 11 open tournament, something I’m very sure will totally happen.

More information about the now five-week event will be announced at a later date. Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, Killer Instinct, Skullgirls 2nd Encore, and Them’s Fightin’ Herds have all been added as open online tournaments. So at least one game is missing, but there will be four new games coming to take its place. Having the best-selling fighting game of all-time turn into a slideshow in front of millions of viewers around the world is obviously the last thing Nintendo or Evo organizers would want. A few days ago, I was schooling my nephew in it online, and while the connection was pretty stable, there were multiple instances where the action on the screen would completely stop. Nevertheless, seeing Smash Bros. cut from a tournament that’s going online isn’t the most shocking development. Capcom 2 is also no longer present, however, the “2ournament of Champions” remains. Interestingly enough, the logo for Marvel Vs. Ultimate update version 13.0.1 patch notes dropped late on Decemon Nintendo’s support pages. Here is the lineup as it was announced earlier this year:Īnd here is what it looks like in the trailer below: Since then, there have been quite a few iterations and, so far, Super Smash Bros.

In a new trailer advertising the upcoming online tournament, the logo for Super Smash Bros. has been a Nintendo staple since its initial release in 1999. All of the original titles planned for Evo 2020 will be a part of Evo Online. As announced back on May 1, the in-person tournament - which is the only proper way to host a fighting game tournament - will be replaced by an online event.

Where else can I see a guy in a full-body fox costume wipe the floor with opponents in Dragon Ball FighterZ? Sadly, with COVID-19 destroying every gaming event its path, a traditional Evo won’t be happening this year. [Image Courtesy is the only esports event I look forward to every year.
