EVO Japan 2026 just lit the FGC on fire with Hulk and Black Panther dropping into Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, locking in the full Fighting Avengers team alongside Cap and Iron Man. Arc System Works had hands-on demos ready, and the crowd lost it over Hulk's Gamma Rage mode—build that gauge, go berserk with speed and power boosts, then one-shot fools who can't block. Black Panther (Shuri edition) brings the heat with Spear of Bashenga pokes and Bast’s Blessing dashes for mixup madness, perfect for zoning or rushdown cheese.

Wakanda stage steals the show too, with its tech-jungle vibes giving Black Panther home-field edge in those combo breaker brackets. Revealed straight from Tokyo, this completes the Avengers squad hunting The Champion, some cosmic brawler threat hyped in the trailer. Producer Takeshi Yamanaka shouted out the EVO feedback shaping the final polish—no launch date yet, but builds hit Combo Breaker next week in Chicago and HK Comic Con after.

X is buzzing with team comp dreams—Spider-Man/Magik/Wolverine/Black Panther squads already cooking—though some salty T'Challa fans are crying over Shuri. Skill issue, chat goes nuclear on that noise; FGC cares about frame data, not comics canon. Hulk's smash potential and BP's mobility could redefine meta before day one, especially on PS5. Get ready to lab, pros—this roster's about to get ratio'd in tournaments.
