Now that registration for Evo 2016 has officially closed, Joey “Mr. Wizard” Cuellar was able to give fighting fans an idea of just how many competitors will be making their way to Vegas for this month’s competition. The final numbers definitely impress; here’s a full breakdown:
- Street Fighter V: 5065
- Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 2637
- Super Smash Bros. Melee: 2350
- Pokkén Tournament: 1165
- Guilty Gear Xrd: 903
- Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3: 770
- Mortal Kombat X: 707
- Tekken 7: 543
- Killer Instinct: 540
Anyone who finds themselves in the losers bracket early–especially in Street Fighter V–will have quite a battle ahead of them, to say the least. Evo is set to take place July 15-17 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
