The biggest fighting game tournament, Evo 2023 promises to implode your weekend.
Evo 2023 has arrived. Attention all fighting game fans, what we’ve been waiting for has finally here, and it’s a blessing to be a live to witness this time. The biggest fighting tournament has returned, and it’s expected to be the biggest ever. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, Evo 2023 is here and there’ll be nothing but fighting gaming for the whole weekend.
You read that correctly, from August 4-6, 2023, the fighting game community will experience the most immense competition ever in Sin City Las Vegas, Nevada. But on top of all of that, we are all going to have nothing but fun. As well as get to see our favourite fighting gaming content creators. What’s not to love?
Do you know what it also means for Evo 2023? The latest fighting game, Street Fighter 6 will also be involved. And some of your most established champions, as well as newbies will be here to make a name for themselves and let the FGC fans know how they get down. And Evo 2023’s lineup is tastier than ever.
Here’s another surprise, Mortal Kombat 1 won’t make it to the lineup for obvious reasons. However, you can still get the chance to play the game at the event, so you’d be playing Mortal Kombat 1 at the event, as well as the beta that releases in just a couple of weeks. Same goes for Tekken 8, where you can get the chance to play from August 4-5. Now, without further ado, here are the following fighting game lineup.
Evo 2023 lineup:
- Street Fighter 6
- Tekken 7
- Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate
- The King of Fighters XV
- Melty Blood: Type Lumina
- Guilty Gear Strive
- Dragon Ball FighterZ
- Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3
If you’re one of those who’ll be participating at Evo 2023, pay attention because you need to know that each fighting game has their own set of rules, which you can find all you need to know at the event rules section in the official website. But the general rules apply to all players of any of the aforementioned games.
Core general rules:
- You must bring your own controller. Whether it be a D-pad, fight stick etc. Evo is a BYOC (Bring Your Own Controller) event.
- Players that use the ‘random select’ option to select a character, must select the same option after winning a match.
- 60 seconds are permitted between games in a set.
- Brook converters are allowed.
- Any player that pauses during a match (even by accident), are subjected to round forfeit or possibly the game.
- Titus One and Cronus Max Plus converters are banned.
- Hardware programmable input entry, modifiers, rapid-fire, macros or any other hardware assisted mechanisms are strictly prohibited.
- All macros available that include the in-game controller configuration menu are permitted.
- All the aforementioned games will be played on the default settings (unless otherwise specified)
If you’re those who are watching the event, whether you’re at the event itself or at home, Evo 2023 has released a schedule for you to take a look to stay tuned.
