TOURNAMENT GAMES
The games for the 2004 tournament are an excellent mix of old-school 2D fighting and the latest visually-spectacular 3D brawlers. One thing all these games have in common is that they are incredibly difficult to master. Past EVO2K champions have studied their respective games for years, learning the tiniest ins-and-outs of the game engine to gain an edge over their opponents.
Here are the games selected for the 2004 tournament:
- Soul Calibur 2
- Tekken 4
- Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution
- Marvel vs Capcom 2
- Capcom vs SNK 2
- Guilty Gear XX
