EVO 2017 has filled the vacant spot on its lineup. Fighting game fans voted with their wallets, and the game that brought in the most money for Make-a-Wish International was none other than our dear old friend Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which had donations totaling $71,690. One more year!
Among the runners-up were Pokkén Tournament ($66,906), Killer Instinct ($6,116), Windjammers ($4,000; good on ya!), and Arms ($1,337). All told, fans brought in upwards of $150,000.
As a consolation prize and "a nod to Pokkén's incredible effort" for this charity drive, EVO says it "will commit $10K to support Pokkén tournaments in 2017."
I know some of you are real tired of seeing UMvC3 at EVO, and I respect your probably well-founded reasons, whatever they might be, but I'm admittedly stoked about this news. As much as I would've been fine with Pokkén or Arms coming in at number one, I'm still into watching this frenetic game.
