Evo 2025 is looking absolutely stacked — and one of the biggest surprises of the year is the insane momentum behind Marvel vs. Capcom 2. That’s right — the 25-year-old tag-team classic is making a major comeback, with the largest tournament in MvC2 history set to take place in Las Vegas from August 1–3.
While final numbers haven’t dropped yet, Evo staff have already confirmed that this summer’s event will feature more MvC2 players than ever before — a huge moment for a game that defined an entire era of the FGC.
Last year’s Marvel 2 bracket pulled in just 232 competitors, but 2025 is shaping up to completely shatter that. While it won’t be the biggest bracket at Evo this year, this is a monumental moment for a legacy title that continues to inspire hype, nostalgia, and clutch comebacks.
The Marvel vs. Capcom 2 community has been grinding hard for this — from local revival scenes to dedicated TOs, this tournament is the result of two decades of passionate play and grassroots hustle.
For many, MvC2 is more than just a game — it’s a piece of fighting game history. Seeing it thrive on the biggest FGC stage of the year, especially with new and returning players joining in, is a celebration of everything that makes the genre special: community, legacy, and wild comebacks from a pixel of health.
