The Evo 2019 lineup of games is here

Super Smash Bros. Melee is the big absence, but Samurai Shodown comes into the mix alongside the other big names.

Evo is the biggest event in the calendar for fans of fighting games and the esports scene around them, and now the official Twitter account has revealed the full lineup of games that will be played at the event, running between August 2 and 4 in Las Vegas.

Of course we have the expected names like Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, and Dragon Ball FighterZ, but one surprising name to see in there is SNK's Samurai Shodown. This is perhaps even more surprising when you consider that Super Smash Bros. Melee is also absent, a big game in the FGC community.

Do you like the lineup?
