Under-Night II getting in makes me so happy, I love the game and I really wish it could pick up a bigger audience, it's so fun and has such cool technical stuff in it
MVC2 got robbed of its hype for Evo 2020. Incredible to see it get the hype it deserves on its 25th anniversary. I’m so pumped to see the best come out in force for Evo.
I’m glad it was ruined in 2020! It was designed for top 4 invitational and the last 4 slots to win and reserve the spot for EVO. At least now all the best players will be there and do their best to compete and see who’s going to be number 1
On a side note as a VF player and been in the Vf discord before it blew up with the new announcement, it brings me joy to see the mentions and respect for VF. It wasn’t never bad it just well never continued after 5. But I think we all at least knew of its legend if you’re a younger person, to see it come back it awesome. Growing up I played MK and VF never SF or takken, and with mk1 being lackluster and NRS going downhill it was nice to get VF back, cuz I tried SF6 and T8 and I can’t lol.i still play Vf to this day! But welcome all new players or retuning from the shadow realm players. I wish I could be the big 4 again as it once was many years ago.
For the first time, an in-person MVC2 tournament with all of the greats will be recorded at something higher than VHS/Handicam video quality! I got into evo around SF4 and UMVC3 so I've never seen a live MVC2 Top 8. You have to assume nearly everyone with a name in MVC2 will show up. This should be awesome. I wonder how commentary will work though. Most of the people I'd want to hear will probably be in the actual tournament and likely to get pretty far.
Too soon. Plus, something Max has said a bunch, something as big as a new MvC is going to be announced at a big trade event, like a Comic Con or Summer Game Fest, something like that.
Why does Granblue fantasy get a spot? I don't really hear about anybody playing that game. It's not a dead game, but why not Virtua Fighter 5 Revo? A new Virtua Fighter is coming and VF5 on the mainstage would really help to create hype.
Huge W announcement that dbfz got banned in evo HUGE W ABOUT THAT, but didn’t mk1 got banned in evo too surprising they put it back, AND I’M SO HYPE SEEING MVC2 AND GBVSR IN EVO, BEST FIGHTING GAME EVER
Where is VF REVO though?? And this is a great duo! Yall need to make an FGC podcast every 2 weeks ans just talk about great things in Fighting games, theories, characters, Stories, favorite moments, fighters etc!! It would be lit because yall would make it entertaining to listen to.
@@superbn0vathat’s true, but gameplay wise it is the peak of NRS fighters. Its systems are easy to understand but still reward good execution and meter management.l
The Wazzler demonstrated how a$$ alot folks are in their defense against low tiers in Marvel 2, since they dont have the experience in taking them on 😂.
Mortal Kombat 1 is back at EVO as it should. People don't understand that MK1 getting low entrants last year was because that MK1 was released in September of 2023 unlike previous NRS/WB games, and pro tour was over when EVO last year started. These things affects entrant numbers, yet everyone is in denial.
Still more variety and player expression available in 10 of the top viable characters then most other entire games (including DLC). 5 people can play the same team as different as 5 musicians and an electric guitar.
A better example would be Dragon Ball Fighterz (not Sparkling Zero unfortunately), but even that I feel would more likely replace the other games like UINB than Mortal Kombat 1.
@@Hypercube1729 LMAO you are the one who's on copium. MK1 gets ton of support, there's a new pro tour starting next month and we still have two more characters for KP2 alone. Keep coping and keep crying dude

Please don’t jinx it. I was soooo looking forward to MvC2 being at EVO that year. I thought they’d never bring it back.
I miss KI at Evo. Amazing line up this year.
I am thankful that mk1 is there. Having extra time for the artist alley is always nice 😊
Someone needs to be making the executive decision to axe MK1 for VF5 R.E.V.O. 😅
I agree but I feel like they are gonna make Evo Japan the big tournament for VF on a regular basis
It’s insane they’d include MK1 and not VF REVO…insanity!
Idk man I kinda like watching mortal kombat. I dont play it but I saw it last year and it was pretty hype imo.

Probably side game til vf6

It's a main game in EVO Japan, but to not have REVO for U.S. is inexcusable.

MK1 over VF is crazy
" Don't touch my computer "
I would try Capcom vs SNK 2 too Re -release version
Awesome video, I might have to hop back into Tekken after this
Thanks guys

Will mvc4 be revealed at evo 2025?
Be patient don't rush it!
I shudder at the reveal of MVC4. Please let it be good.

dang tasty steve, it's been a while. not the 77 years it looks like, but still. good to see you.

A lil sad to get 3 Capcom games in a row, but MvC needs the momentum so it makes sense.
Last year was 3rd Strike's 25th Anniversary and this year is MvC2's 25th Anniversary so it makes sense.
We need the Wazzler.
