Street Fighter X Tekken, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition (ver. 2012), Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, SOULCALIBUR V, King of Fighters XIII and Mortal Kombat 9 – these titles are going to be played this year at EVO. If you count out SFxT, sadly no Tekken tournament will take place this year.
Check the rest of the entry for more about Evo 2012.
Evo 2012 Game Roster
Street Fighter X Tekken
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Version 2012
Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3
Soul Calibur 5
King of Fighters 13
Mortal Kombat 9
This is maybe the most exciting roster we’ve ever had. It’s got tried and true tournament games with balance refreshes, two series reboots that both show great potential, and a great variety of play styles from old school 2D to the zaniness of Marvel to an updated take on classic 3D fighting. It’s amazing to see so many great games hit the market at one time and we can’t wait to see who comes out on top in each of these games.
Road to Evo 2012It’s our privilege to be able to work with so many of the grassroots tournament organizers worldwide to help seed players for Evo. In 2012 we’re making three big changes to the tournament season.
More tournaments, which means more chances to earn seeding points
All games are seeded, not just SFIV and UMvC3
Simplified point structure
The first two points are self-explanatory. Here’s the new system for how points are awarded. At each tournament:
50, 25, 10 points are awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place respectively
1 lousy point is awarded for 4th – 16th place
We’ve made these changes to reflect the reality that a double elimination bracket is really only accurate for the top few places (just the top 2 if you want to be scientific about it, but with good seeds you can have high confidence on third place as well). Remember, there are lots of pools for each game at Evo; the bigger games have hundreds of pools. So the most important factor is to earn that first point that puts you in the group of players who are seeded.
Here are the events for 2012. A big thanks to all the organizers of these events for participating in the Road to Evo this year.

I love Tekken as much as the next obsessive nerd, but can you really blame them for leaving T6 out after Bobfest 2k11?
Nah, they probably didn’t choose Tekken 6 because they couldn’t have more than 5 main games.
They had to choose whether to pick a new game like SFxTK and SC 5……or an older game like T6.
I’m pretty sure TTT2 will be at the event, somehow.
Probably they’ll set up few cabinets for casuals……or maybe have a side tourney with console version of TTT2 (E3 2012 build or something like that).
They did something similiar at Evo 2009, when console version of T6 was not yet released.
I’ve been surfing online greater than three hours nowadays, yet I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It’s beautiful value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the internet might be a lot more helpful than ever before.
