UMVC3 is a legendary game for the FGC, having been kept alive for the community years after Capcom dropped support for the title.
Former Marvel vs Capcom 2 champion Justin Wong even tweeted his thanks to Pokimane, jokingly implying she brought the fan favorite back to EVO’s main stage.
“Thank you [Pokimane] for bringing back UMVC3, Tier 3 sub from me”, he tweets.
He and many other players also echoed a common sentiment: thanking the community for having kept the iconic series alive through their own events, such as one that saw an elderly couple compete in Pools.
