Evolution 2K3 - Huge US Fighting Game Tournament

Posted by simoniker on from the spinning-bird-kick dept.

Namflow writes "Shoryuken.com just announced Evolution 2K3. Evolution is the biggest annual fighting game tournament in North America. This year is especially exciting because not only will there be the normal Capcom 2D fighters, but a host of 3D games such as Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution. Time to start saving..." Even Tekken 4 and Soul Calibur 2 are included this year, as well as traditional classics like Super Street Fighter II Turbo and the newest 2D of Capcom Vs SNK 2, for this big showdown from August 8th-10th in Pomona, California.

    8 on the break in dunellen NJ has been running the East Coast Street Fighter Championship for at least 8 years now. People from all over the country (yes, even from CA) used to fly in for it.

    ECC
    I don't play fighting games anymore, but I used to play at the break's weekly tournaments and I played in the first ECC for Tekken 2 (a long time ago!). Out of everywhere I've played both on and offline 8 on the break back then always had the best comp and probably still does now.
