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, weā€™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.

Iā€™m honestly shocked at that Smash thread.

Wow there are a lot of people faking the funk, Iā€™ll just say this. A lot of your favā€™s are faker than a 3 dollar bill.

Itā€™s actually nasty. But so is whatā€™s going on so, it all makes sense overall I guess.

This is big

Soooā€¦Capcom does the same as well now ?

Complete mess, Iā€™m sure companies that had reveals planned around Evo are in a pickle.

Also Iā€™m sure people will try to make combo breaker the new Evoā€¦

Capcom out

EVO online isnā€™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. Iā€™m surprised capcom didnā€™t pull out instantly. This is nothing but opportunity for them

Yeah, typical brand management.

Stillā€¦ Skullgirls is more cursed than 2020. :rofl:

Poor community canā€™t catch a break, at this point Iā€™m just waiting for the Keef skit. :rofl:

I donā€™t have anything substantial to add but dang this hurts. Probably one of the most poignant items Iā€™ve read all year. Iā€™ve taken for granted that weā€™d always get an Evo, but with SF off the table thatā€™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. Sighā€¦

Iā€™m thinking about packing up my bags here yā€™allā€¦
