Player(s) to watch:
Two of Guilty Gear's strongest are confirmed to be in attendance at EVO 2015. Both NeoGAF|Ogawa and Zeveron|Kazunoko will be playing at the event and bringing their devastating Zato-1 and Sol Badguy, respectively.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
Overview: This is the first year we'll be seeing Ultimax played at the EVO tournament series. Not only that, but Persona is moving up from last year's side tourney status and joining the ranks of games like USF4 and MKX as a main EVO game this year.
With 437 players set to compete this weekend and a number of top-notch warriors filling the brackets, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is sure to get EVO started with a bang.
Stream: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will be played in its entirety on Friday on SRKEVO3 and SRKEVO1.
Start time: Friday, 8 a.m. PDT / 11 a.m. EDT
Player(s) to watch:
BananaKen was a strong contender even back in the first installment of Persona 4: Arena, and while everyone expects him to do well, he turned a lot of heads at CEO 2015 when he brought down top winner candidate NB|Souji, and from Loser's bracket no less, and this was after losing an exhibition against that very same player with a score of 1-5. You can bet that BananaKen will be bringing out his Shadow Labrys in full force at EVO, and players, no matter where they're from, best beware.
Tekken 7
Overview: Tekken 7 is a game that is only available in arcades at this time, and yet, we'll be seeing it as a main game at this year's EVO.
The exclusivity of the title did not deter players from entering, as 458 competitors are all set to duke it out in Bandai Namco's 3D fighter weekend.
Stream: Tekken 7 will make an appearance on two days this weekend:
Friday: SRKEVO5
Saturday: SRKEVO5 and SRKEVO1
Start time: Friday, 8 a.m. PDT / 11 a.m. EDT
