    Dieminion seeking donations so he can attend EVO 2013
    07_dieminiondonations.jpg

    Kevin "Dieminion" Landon is seeking donations so that he can attend EVO 2013. He has started a we pay site up where you can donate if you'd like to help him attend the biggest fighting game tournament in the world.

    Landon left a few remarks on his Twitter account about setting up the donation page, and what his thought process was, plus he noted an explanation for why he's seeking help would be available soon.

    Dieiminion: FANS, SUPPORTERS & WARRIORS !! I am humbly asking for your help to get me to @evo2k. I want to win EVO !

    Justin Wong: EVO Dieminion?

    Dieiminion: I've decided to go to EVO ! I just can't miss it.

    It took a lot from me to ask for donations . I am very prideful and I did accept that fact that I may miss @evo2k this year.

    The people deserve an explanation on this matter. It will be told soon.

    CoolGrayAJ: Serious question - if this donation drive goes through, will you PLEASE go as FGC.Di3mini0n instead of VXG/EMP?

    Dieminion: Hell yeah !

    Almost at the goal. I will end the donation when I get to $1,500 . Thank You !! #FGC

    A few days back, Dieminion had stated he couldn't attend EVO, but it looks like he's trying to make another go of it now.

    Updated: New skin to be revealed, one fans have been talking about for months - Ed Boon confirms 5th DLC character will be announced at EVO 2013


    Updated: Ed Boon took to Twitter again today and stated that along with the new character reveal trailer at EVO this weekend, we will be seeing a new character skin. Apparently, this is an alternate costume that many fans have been talking about for some time. NetherRealm Studios Ed Boon has been hinting lately at an Injustice: Gods Among Us reveal pegged for EVO 2013. This morning, Boon confirmed that the 5th DLC character is going to be announced this weekend in Las Vegas.

    Not only will we found out who the next character is but Boon added that a gameplay footage trailer is also going to be showcased at the event.

    Hit the jump to read on.

    Double Helix Games is following the reveal motif as they are set to show off Glacius in Killer Instinct this weekend, along with a new character.

    Additionally, Yoshinori Ono stated the other day that Capcom USA staff would be attending EVO 2013 for one of their panels, so it's possible we could see multiple fighting game announcements this weekend.

    Over the past few months there has been a lot of speculation as to which characters will be added to the Injustice roster. Who do you think we'll be seeing revealed this weekend at EVO 2013?

    UPDATE: Nintendo WILL stream Super Smash Bros. Melee at Evo 2013 after all. In an update to his original post, Shoryuken and Evo founder Tom Cannon has said that the publisher has changed its mind.

    "We will be restoring the original stream and tournament schedules. Obviously this is a huge (relief) for all of us here and we're thrilled that the world will get to see the best Smash players fight it out this weekend. Thanks to everyone online who supported both Evo and Smash."
