(Image credit: Capcom) Arc System Works' Marvel Tokon might be the immediate future of tag fighters, but that doesn't mean Marvel vs. Capcom is dead. The legendary MvC2 is back on the main stage at Evo 2025 in light of the recently released Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, and event organizers say this is already set to be the biggest tournament the game's ever seen. "MARVEL vs. CAPCOM 2 at #Evo2025 has set a new record to become the largest MvC2 tournament of all time," according to the event's organizers on Twitter. Official entrant numbers haven't yet been published - there's still a few hours before late registration closes - but it's an impressive feat for a game that's now fully 25 years old. FGC legend Justin Wong certainly seems to be excited. BIGGEST MVC2 TOURNAMENT AT EVO??!?!! https://t.co/HdFXJ5RHnpJuly 1, 2025 Of course, Evo itself is much bigger than it was in 2010, which was the last time MvC2 appeared among the event's featured games. These days, the tournament regularly features one classic title among the eight featured titles, and the throwback is often a highlight. Last year's Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike tournament was arguably the highlight of the event, and I suspect the MvC2 tournament will be similarly entertaining. You may like Marvel Vs.
