Street Fighter V & Super Smash Bros. currently lead the registration turnout for Evolution 2017

Meanwhile, The King of Fighters XIV currently has the lowest number of registered players.

As we get closer and closer to Evo 2017, the present “leaderboard” for event registration has been shared–and for the most part the results are what one would expect: generally consistent with 2016’s closing numbers, and reflective of each game’s overall popularity:

  1. Street Fighter V
  2. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
  3. Super Smash Bros. Melee
  4. Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2
  5. Tekken 7
  6. Injustice 2
  7. BlazBlue: Central Fiction
  8. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
  9. The King of Fighters XIV

Street Fighter V already has a substantial lead, with the two Smash titles finishing the top three, for now. Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 is currently in the 4th spot–but Tekken 7 and Injustice 2 are possible contenders to overtake it as they get into the hands of the gaming public! The Player’s Choice winner Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is presently only in 8th place for its Evo swan song; and newcomer The King of Fighters XIV could use some more love, sitting back in last place.

Of course, we’ve still got about two months for this list to get shaken up a bit with new sign-ups. Registration is still open for Evo 2017 through smash.gg–and you can join additional games after your initial registration too, so get in there and support your favorite titles!

Evo 2017 takes place at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 14-16, 2017.

One of the biggest hurdles in providing a quality interactive stream is having to constantly jump around browser and application windows while still trying to play and keep the focus on the game you’re streaming. I’ve been streaming with MMORPG for years now, and it’s still always a fight to get the setup just right. Thankfully, the Elgato Stream Deck was just released and solves just about every issue you can think of when it comes to stream juggling.

– Steam Hammer Pounds Its Way Into Early Access

SF Team and Big Way have sent word that Steam Hammer, a steampunk RPG with survival elements, has burst into Early Access. It is considered a “hardcore sandbox RPG in a steampunk setting”. Players can take on roles within the game as wide reaching as craftsman to architect to conqueror. As with most games of its type, it offers crafting, world building, gear to collect as well as something more exotic in the form of airships.
