For the life of me, I haven't been this much hyped about an e-gaming tournament for the longest time. Every single year I tune in to the streams and see the Evo Championship Series roll in, it makes my heart skip and tense at the prospect that literally ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN at any given moment, and it just did!
With the results in, Evo 2011 has finally concluded and is in the books. I wasn't able to catch everything due to obvious time differences and schedules, but I pretty much caught the most important and latter segments of the championships, which were the Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition tournament finals!
Taking place this weekend at good ol' Las Vegas, this year's Evo Championship Series Tournament, Evo 2011, gathers all the world's greatest and hungriest fighting game players and makes them square off against one another for the top prize and to reign supreme! Fans and players of games like Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Blazblue: Continuum Shift II, Tekken 6, Marvel Vs Capcom 3, and Mortal Kombat better not miss this one! The best of the best will compete in exciting matches from these games, and even well known brawlers like Daigo Umehara and Justin Wong will be there!
Rumored and expected, Capcom just dropped the bombshell to fighting game fanatics around the world when they officially announced ULTIMATE MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 at this year's San Diego Comic-Con! An updated version of their previous February release, this new version of MvC3 contains the same graphics with new characters and stages! As featured in EventHubs, new characters joining the fight will be Hawkeye and Ghost Rider for the Marvel side, while MvC fan favorite Strider Hiryu returns and Firebrand from Ghouls and Ghosts joins Capcom's cause! In total, Twelve new characters are expected to appear (with two as DLC apparently), taking the total roster to 50. While that's still shorter than the mega roster featured in Marvel Vs Capcom 2, this is no less exciting news for fans of the franchise! Check out the trailers below, courtesy of You Tube!

Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 Character Overview Trailer!
Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 is expected to hit the PS3 and Xbox 360 this November!
I've been playing Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds for over a week now, and if you haven't seen or given it a try, you're missing out on one of the easiest, cheapest, and finest games to come across gaming territory for quite some time now, LOL (check out the review I made for that matter)! Case in point, any game with Marvel's Merc With The Mouth, Deadpool, is an absolute treat to see! Have you guys seen the way this psycho mercenary (who's voiced by Nolan North) plays? Check out his Level 3 Hyper Combo, aptly titled "4th-Wall Crisis"!

Whatta Home Run indeed! And yes, he also has a launcher that pays homage to that "Shoryuken" move he made in the comics, lol! Chimichanga to you, peeps!XD
After much teasing, planning, and a long wait to endure... Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds FINALLY arrives in consoles the world over for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 entertainment systems. After 11 years since Marvel Vs Capcom 2 hit arcades and caused a stir, a true sequel has finally been released, and people are definitely playing this one and talking about it. The question however stirring in everyone's mind now though is "Did it meet expectations"? Well, the short answer is a resounding "YES", but we'll get into that a little bit later. I bought the PS3 Collector's Edition version of this game yesterday, and I'm enjoying everything as I write this review. Do take a moment to simmer down, relax, and read this article as cautiously as possible. I've been a fighting game player for most of my life, and what I say in this review serves up only to my opinions regarding the game's performance based on my expectations, nothing more, nothing less. With that, let's take things for a ride and get the show on the road!
With February 15 just a few days away, the hype for Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds is getting bigger and bigger! While some lucky guys out there have managed to play and/ or get the game ahead and delivered some mixed opinions online, I'm still looking forward to this newest crossover title between Marvel and Capcom, which took more than a decade to get made! Heck, you can't blame the excitement all us fans have over this game, and you can bet your butts that people are feeling nostalgic right now and remembering the good ol' days of this fighting game franchise's history!
In light of this anticipated release, video game news site GamesRadar made this pretty slick history video of the Marvel Vs Capcom series, hosted by Capcom's own Seth Killian! You can check out the article and the video in the link here, and it just makes me all the more nostalgic about the old games and excited for the new entry to come!
As a tribute and remembrance to the series influence, here are the intros of each and every Marvel Vs Capcom Versus Series game produced! Enjoy old school and remember the good ol' days!

In anticipation of next week's long awaited release, Capcom has released a new Japanese Television Ad for their newest fighting game brawler, Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, featuring a young girl who has doubts about heroes existing in this world, plus the official Japanese song to the game "Fact"! Check it out below, courtesy of the guys at Capcom and Shoryuken!

Like it? And yeah girl, you better believe heroes do exist in the world!
Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is scheduled for release next week on February 15!
With a week left to go before it smashes into consoles around the world, Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds isn't holding back any punches when it comes to delivering some sweet looking gameplay and character trailers for fans to salivate over. With just about the entire roster already revealed for Capcom's next crossover brawler, who's next to get his own character montage video? Why the boss himself of course, who is none other than the devourer of worlds himself, Galactus!
As shown and featured over at IGN, Capcom and Marvel have provided new images and details surrounding Galactus, who happens to be the final opponent players will face at the end of MvC3. His revelation as the last boss was leaked about a week ago in the web, but now we get some official info on this guy, and It won't be a walk in the part fighting this cosmic giant to finish the game. Before facing the mighty one himself, you'll have to deal with two heralds, who'll be powered up versions of the bad guys you'll be facing in game like Dr. Doom and Dormammu, only both fighting at the same time! Once you get rid of them, the devourer of worlds attacks, and the fate of the world rests on your shoulders now! Check out the character video to see what I mean!
I would normally take this with a grain of salt, but with the impending release date fast approaching us, it looks like the "final" two slots that complete the final full roster of Marvel vs Capcom 3 have been filled up by characters Hsien-Ko and Sentinel, whose appearance has yet to be officially confirmed by Capcom. Yet magazine shots have leaked online and have been posted in numerous sites, including Destructoid and Event Hubs, showing Sentinel in action and Hsien-Ko's shot at the Character Select screen. Also, character images show Galactus present, which means he could be one of the big bosses players will take on or use in the game! We'll just have to wait and see how this trickles down. For more info, visit the source posts at Event Hubs and Destructoid.

After the reveal of She-Hulk and Zero, it was only a matter of time til Capcom revealed more stuff for MvC3. Sure enough, via a post over at Kotaku, Gamestop has unveiled the Collector's Edition package of next year's smash hit brawler, Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds!
As you can see, the Package will include A Steelbook with exclusive art, Two Downloadable Characters, an exclusive comic and art book, and a 1 month subscription to Marvel Digital Comics! Now if that package doesn't sound good and enticing for the die hard MvC fan, I don't know what will! As for the two DLC exclusive characters... they are none other than MvC fighting veterans Shuma-Gorath and Jill Valentine! Shuma, of course, hails from the Marvel side and is the giant purple eye with purple tentacles... famous for being an adversary of Dr. Strange! As for Capcom's Jill, no introductions are necessary if you played the Resident Evil series! She's the "Master of Unlocking" and heroine of RE1 and RE3, so that alone counts for why she shouldn't be dismissed as "Jill Sandwich" easily, hehe! For more details, check out the source post at Kotaku!
Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds will be unleashed spring next year!

Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds is due next year!
It's been a while since Marvel and Capcom have released any new updates related to next year's crossover brawler Marvel Vs Capcom 3: Fate Of Two Worlds, but I believe the silence will be broken soon enough... for they have just unleashed a new poster that looks as sweet and as drooling as can be!
As posted in Event Hubs, here's the new "Smash Hit" GameStop poster of MvC3, and it's downright amazing! Many of the central characters already revealed and confirmed on the roster are shown here, and to say it doesn't look epic does it a world of injustice. After all, this one sheet is done by none other than Marvel's very own Adi Granov, whose artistic works on the Iron Man and X-men books should be familiar to longtime fans and readers of The House of Ideas! Good show Adi, and I can't wait for more announcements and characters yet to be revealed for the game!
