Look at the size of that list.

:exploding_head:

Also, with Evo putting Mr. Wiz on a leave instead of cutting ties with him outright, we’re seeing a lot of people dipping out of this Evo.

There is a very real chance of Evo Online not getting off the ground because of this incident.

I’m honestly shocked at that Smash thread.

Wow there are a lot of people faking the funk, I’ll just say this. A lot of your fav’s are faker than a 3 dollar bill.

It’s actually nasty. But so is what’s going on so, it all makes sense overall I guess.

This is big

Sooo…Capcom does the same as well now ?

Complete mess, I’m sure companies that had reveals planned around Evo are in a pickle.

Also I’m sure people will try to make combo breaker the new Evo…

Capcom out

EVO online isn’t dead. EVO is dead. Who wants to celebrate?

What is there to celebrate besides pedos getting flushed out? :thinking:

This all happened the year that Skullgirls made it to EVO.

Guys, I think Skullgirls is cursed. Like, worse than Marvel Infinite.

Capcom and evo have a love hate relationship. I’m surprised capcom didn’t pull out instantly. This is nothing but opportunity for them

Yeah, typical brand management.

Still… Skullgirls is more cursed than 2020. :rofl:

Poor community can’t catch a break, at this point I’m just waiting for the Keef skit. :rofl:

I don’t have anything substantial to add but dang this hurts. Probably one of the most poignant items I’ve read all year. I’ve taken for granted that we’d always get an Evo, but with SF off the table that’s too major a blow.

I mean Evo was more or less our Superbowl or NBA Finals! And to have it blown apart like this is terrible. Sigh…

I’m thinking about packing up my bags here y’all…
