9 games to choose from. How will you compete?

Evil Mr. Wizard revealed 9 games last night on the Red Bull twitch channel.  He also announced that this year EVO will be at the Las Vegas convention center & that grand finals will be at the Mandalay events center.  A 12,000 seat arena.  The website still isn't updated, but I expect more info to drop soon & registration will open as well.  Check out these tweets.

Best part about the convention center is that its 125,000 sq feet for the Evo room, and its all in one room! Get Hype! #Evo2016

Top 3 matches from the very first Vegas Violence in Las Vegas NV. January 26, 2013. Featuring IC Ruin, Pracix & Trahh

Winners Finals Trahh VS IC Ruin 

Mr. Wizard reveals the games for EVO 2013 on Wakeup SRK. Here's the list. games total.

#1 - Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3

#2 - Super Street Fighter 4 AE 2012 *Mr. Wizard mentions Ono & a possible 2013 update. EVO will add it, if it is released before June.

#3 - Tekken Tag Tournament 2

#4 - Mortal Kombat

#5 - Street Fighter X Tekken *1 on 1 - Last year gem rules(banned) as of right now.

#6 - King of Fighters XIII

#7 - Persona 4 Arena

#8 - Players Choice Via donations. The game that raises the most money will get an entry into EVO.

Mortal Kombat was super popular last year because the pot was worth $20,000. We'll see what the pot bonus is this year. Injustice isn't going to be ready before June, that's for sure. 

Good thing I saved  all those copies of SFxT. 

Book your trips now. That's the list & EVO 2013 is looking pretty good. I don't know what MK, SFxT & P4A are going to do, but I'm hoping they draw the same worldwide crowd they did last year. UMvC3 is easily the most exciting to see if there will be a new champion. You never know what is going to happen in Street Fighter, like Mr. Wizard said, everybody is gonna know Infiltration's bullshit.
