This year, the event featured six games: Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike (3s), Marvel vs Capcom 2 (MvC2), Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection (T5DR), Super Smash Brothers Brawl (or just Brawl), Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (ST), and Capcom vs SNK 2 (CvS2). In addition to the featured games, attendees ran side tournaments for games ranging from the widely known Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (GGAC) to the newly released Soul Calibur IV (SC4). If there was a fighting game you liked, the competition for it was here.
In addition to the tournaments, Evolution also brought four next-gen games to the event for players to try out: Street Fighter IV (SF4), Super Street Fighter Turbo HD Remix (STHD), Tatsunoko vs Capcom (TvC), and BlazBlue. Many players got their first chance to try these games out during this three day weekend, and they were not disappointed. Not only did they get to enjoy the games, but Capcom and AkSys representatives were actively taking feedback to help improve the games before release.
A legendary moment back in EVO 2006.
