Like how Power Girl turned out to be Atlantean and Kathy Kane was supposed to get married.

Remember this is Earth-TRN177 so they might have went with whatever

Magneto’s name is Ron Paul.

The thing with Magneto is, he was a “generic” holocaust survivor. then during the 90s, they decided he should be a gypsy, since the great love of his life and Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch’s mother was a gypsy. Then another writer came along, and said, “nah fuck that, Mags is a Jew” and did the entire Max Eisenhardt retcon.

When’s KI?

what happened to the name “magnus”

It’s the middle name of the Erik Magnus Lensherr alias. It’s also not helpful that even though the split between the main marvel universe, and he Ultimate universe was supposed to be at Captain America’s super solider serum, that Mag’s real name in the Ultimate Universe is Erik Magnus Lensherr, because the retcon never happened in that one.

Holy fuck! Is this where EVO is being held.
I really hope so. It would be so godlike to have that room full of FGC hype.

EDIT: NVMD Wizard just comfirmed its on Paradise ballroom. Its still pretty good.

Nov. 22nd.

Oh and I just realized after watching the trailer what you guys were talking about. Stupid me thought Mr.Wiz was actually just being nice and helping out Chris G. The entire tournament is going to be Xbox?

Xbox/Killer Instinct. Master Race FULL 100 percent American Evo.

The whole tournament can’t be exclusively Xbox though, can it? Isn’t PS3 the preferred console for Namco 3d fighters?

Wait, this talk of KI is confusing me a bit. Isn’t KI an XBOne exclusive? What does that have to do with Evo being run on 360?

It’s been said that any PS3 exclusive game that becomes a main event game will still be on PS3. So it’s basically all Xbox with the exception of exclusives. Which means a bit of leeway for titles that have no 360 release, but other than that you’re playing on the Box. Which means outside of Namco guys screaming their asses off, they may be forced into Box Tekken.

Nothing yet. Just some system fanboys are assuming that the switch to 360 has something to do with Microsoft handing Wiz money to get Killer Instinct a shoe in for Evo and basically guarantee 360’s to be provided for the event. Which also helps those who’ve been wanting the two biggest games to be on 360.

If the trade off for having AE and Marvel played on 100x better settings is having a fighting game with a 6 character roster being included in Evo, I’m all for it.

It’s not like you’ll be forced to watch it anyways.

Oh, then I completely support this. For this particular Evo, this is the best setup imo. In later years, however, I expect a switch to PS4 for it’s more “fighting game friendly” features/games(KI will hopefully be ported to PS4 as well in a year). I really just want to get on that GGXrd hype. Not dissing KI or anything though, I actually like that game so far.

If you want an idea of the nature of Marvel plotlines imagine OMG itz Andre is writing the stories, drunk

No offense dude but what kind of drugs are you on if you think there’s ANY sort of possibility of KI porting to PS4?

@kiyaaking Rare (formerly Rareware of Donkey Kong/KI fame) is owned by Microsoft. Used to be owned by Nintendo before that. Meaning no PS4 port ever unless Microsoft gives up rights to Rare. They’re also making an Xbox One exclusive sequel to Banjo Kazooie also.

Maybe, big maybe, there will be a PC port. And that certainly doesn’t broaden its horizons for the FGC.

Man, would they really throw the 3D guy’s games under the bus like that for the sake of 2 Capcom games?

Edit:Or is there even a real difference in how the latest iterations of Namco game run between PS3 and 360. Though I guess controller preference comes into play too.

When those games pull 400-500 and Capcom games pull 1k-1.6k? Yeah I’m pretty sure they would. I honestly haven;theard much about console differences in the Namco games themselves since T5, but a huge portion of the Tekken community plays on PS pads exclusively. Which is why no wireless controllers caused such a shitstorm for so long.
