Tegoroczny turniej Evo odbędzie się w dniach 17 – 19 lipca w Las Vegas. Znane są już zasady do wszystkich tytułów jakie się na nim pojawią. Amerykański turniej Evo to najbardziej rozpoznawalny na świecie turniej w bijatyki zaraz po japońskim SBO. Różnią się one m.in. tym, że potyczki na Evo odbywają się głównie na konsolach, a na SBO na arcade’ach. Organizacja turnieju na konsolach przysparza wielu problemów z glitch’ami, banowanymi postaciami itp., dlatego też regulamin rozgrywek Evo jest bardziej skomplikowany.

Mnie osobiście najbardziej interesują rozgrywki w Street Fightera IV ponieważ jest to gra na czasie w którą ostatnio gram. Ze Street Fightera 3S natomiast wolę oglądać filmiki z SBO bo tam można zobaczyć coś innego niż Chun SA2 i Ken SA3.
