    GUESS WHO'S BACK. BACK AGAIN. TEKKEN'S BACK. TELL A FRIEND. GUESS WHO'S BACK, GUESS WHO'S BACK, GUESS WHO'S BACK, GUESS WHO'S BACK, GUESS WHO'S BACK, GUESS WHO'S BACK...

    Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is back into the EVO Lineup! On iPlayWinner's The Fray!, Evo co-founder Joey "Mr. Wizard" Cuellar announced that it was making a return, and that Bandai Namco are now a primary sponsor of EVO 2014, thanks to Mark "MarkMan" Julio from Mad Catz. You can find the stream where it was confirmed here (The actual announcement itself is at around the 16:30 mark)

    I'd read more news articles if they were in this format.

    Cool, Tekken's great and Tag 2 is excellent.

    Hey, I'm gonna be that guy and ask why the hell Injustice is still in the lineup and Skullgirls/P4A isn't?

    MK/Injustice (Surprised it took so long to drop MK9) are consistently the least popular game and seem to only hold their place because Nether Realms probably chips money in to fund Evo....

    While I think it's awesome that Tekken's back, it's kind of sad that it's only because of the sponsorship money.
