The annual fighting game tournament EVO has unveiled its lineup for this year's event. You can expect to see ever-popular games such as Street Fighter V: Championship Edition, Skullgirls: 2nd Encore, and Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate, alongside smaller franchises like Granblue Fantasy Versus and Melty Blood: Type Lumina. The full lineup is as follows:

Street Fighter V: Champion Edition
Guilty Gear: Strive
Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate
Tekken 7
The King of Fighters XV
Melty Blood: Type Lumina
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Granblue Fantasy Versus
Skullgirls 2nd Encore

Noticeably missing from EVO 2022's lineup is any Super Smash Bros. game. This is because Nintendo chose to withdraw any and all Smash Bros. titles from EVO going forward, ending a partnership that had lasted since 2007.

EVO 2022 will take place from August 5-7, and will be hosted at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Who decided that? You?
Of course it is. Especially with items disabled (what is always the case in tournaments).
Yes ,us .Since it doesn't obey the classic rules of FG genre,it has no business in an FG tourney,why not create a separate tourney , Party Game Évolution ?

That's what I'm saying. It has nothing of a "party game" without items and random stage effects.
