Evo 2016 is scheduled for July 15-17 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Sunday finals, featuring Street Fighter V, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mortal Kombat X, Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR, and Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, will take place at the Mandalay Bay sports arena.

If you’re sweating the costs of this trip already, you may be able to win a trip for two to Las Vegas. All you have to do is enter for a chance to win over at Kernel. The winner will have all their expenses (flight, hotel, tickets for every day, etc.) covered, so don’t waste any time throwing your name in!

More Evo 2016 details can be found on the official website. Feel free to let us know what you think in the comments, and check out our interview with Cuellar for a bit more insight on the choices they made.

nikka shut up. How dare you disrespect Marvel. Morridoom hasn't been dominating for 2 years. We gonna act like THE WINNER OF EVO DIDNT PLAY HULK?? We gonna act like 2ND place evo DIDN'T PLAY SENTINEL??

Just 2 weeks ago Ray Ray Neo and Full schedule all got 3-0'd by a Captain America and Rocket Rac00n,.

Marvel is hands down the most entertaining fighter out in the fgc and it will ALWAYS have a place at Evo. Lmfao at replacing Marvel with a weeb anime game. GTFO :camby:

Evo still will have every game under the sun, but the sunday finals is gonna be a debacle. Fighting game fans can appreciate other fighters they dont even play (like BlazBlue the other year), but not nintendo games. And smash players dont care about fighters. That arena sunday is gonna have a lot of empty seats at all times because of this. Gonna make the final day look dumb to spectators online and at the venue. In contrast, when they had that esports shyt (league of legends?) at the staples center, it was just for one game, everyone there had that common interest...

Imagine you went to a bball game, but half the seats were bought by dog breeding fans, and dog breeding would be on for 5 hours in between your bball game. You would be out in vegas doing other shyt during the dog stuff. And the dog people would bounce once their shyt is over. Basically....mad empty seats at all times.

At the end of the day though if you go to Evo you can play any fighter you can dream of so its whatever, but this e sports shyt gonna ruin the spectator aspect of the game.

Not at all. Both smash games are there because of the insane numbers they had last year. Melee was #2 in views for evo last year beating out marvel. And only being 2000 views behind street fighter. And Smash 4 was number 4. Beating out EVERY fgc game NOT SF and Marvel


Yall have to understand Smash has a fanbase that is big enough on its own. Any players that enjoy both smash AND fgc is just bonus numbers.

I dunno man. I've attended tourneys and there is no overlap. Basically its like this. Smash players are given their own room. If you happen to stumble in there, you will smell the scent of 1000 unwashed socks. These are disgusting human beings brehs. Not even an exaggeration. Meanwhile SF players fukk with Guilty Gear and those players fukk with Marvel etc. The Smash players dont leave that room they are in until they get on the main stage, then they peace out. None of them give a shyt about SF let alone a Guilty Gear.

Of course it makes sense financially, but their presentation will take a blow when all the fighting game players are out and about in Vegas chilling while waiting for SFV later in the night, and all the Smash people dip once their shyt is over.
