This trailer is indeed hype with the influence being from a Nike commercial earlier this year. It is for the Evo 2k8 DVD set remembering the greatness that it is the Evolution Championships. I actually never been to one yet and I hope to some day. The games featured are Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Super SFII Turbo, Tekken 5 DR, SFIII: 3rd Strike, Capcom vs. SNK 2, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I think this will be the last year with that constient lineup of fighters since the genre to off to new and perhaps better things. My hopeful Evo 2k9 lineup will be... (the major games likely)
- Street Fighter IV
- Super SFII Turbo HD Remix (replacing old ST)
- Marvel vs. Capcom 2
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- SFIII: 3rd Strike (people still play this)
- Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion (hoping console versions will be out at that time.
Missing there is Soul Calibur IV, BlazBlue, Virtua Fighter 5 R, King of Fighters XII, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom since Evo does use console versions rather than the arcade versions. The Soul Calibur games don't really a great turnout at this tournament as well as the Virtua Fighter games, but enough people are there to do it even though it won't be like the turnout for MvC2 or SFIV. Plus, who knows when the console versions of BlazBlue and King of Fighters XII will come out and if before Evo, then they will be in some way or another. As for TvC, we'll see how many people here are willing to buy Japanese Wiis since this game is out next week at Japan and for the arcades too.
