ESPN is broadcasting Street Fighter V this weekend, will you be watching?

Enlarge / This handy graphic breaks down the times and games of Evo, and tells you which Twitch channel is covering what.

Fighting game competitors and fans from around the globe are gathering this weekend in Las Vegas for the Evolution Championship Series (more commonly known as Evo), the world's largest fighting game event. We detailed exactly what attending Evo is like back in 2013. This year, the tournament features the following nine games, with the number of player entries noted after each game:

Street Fighter V (5107)
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (782)
Mortal Kombat X (713)
Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator (910)
Pokkén Tournament (1180)
Killer Instinct (546)
Super Smash Bros. Melee (2372)
Super Smash Bros. for WiiU (2662)
Tekken 7: Fated Retribution (549)

There's something for everyone, from the more casual and accessible games like Smash Bros. and Pokkén Tournament, to the more hardcore stylings of anime fighter Guilty Gear Xrd and arcade-only Tekken 7: Fated Retribution, but Street Fighter V is the big story, with registration more than doubling last year's entries for Street Fighter IV.
