The grand finals and other notable moments
And just like that, another EVO has come and gone. What a weekend.
Despite not playing fighting games much myself, I’ll never miss watching the year’s big tournament. The audience’s energy, the drama that unfolds on stage — it never ceases to amaze.
If you missed out on the grand finals for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Ultra Street Fighter IV, or any of the other featured games, look no further.
You’re gonna want to watch that BlazBlue final.
