Nacon puts on a show at EVO Las Vegas 2024!
Visitors, including some celebrity gamers, flocked to Nacon's stand at EVO Las Vegas 2024, the most highly-anticipated tournament of the year for fans of fighting games. The best players of Tekken 8, Street Fighter 6, Guilty Gear and many more came to Vegas from around the world to try and claim the title!
Our ambassadors, Kayane and MisterCrimson, did us proud by participating in the competition to challenge the best players in the world.
The immortal Kayane!
24 years after the start of her career, Marie-Laure "Kayane" Norindr showed herself to be as determined as ever by taking on all comers in the Tekken 8 competition. Playing as Xiaoyu, she put in a stunning performance, finishing 65th out of 4,651 players before bowing out to Yuu, one of the major players on the international Tekken stage.
"Honestly, I never thought I'd get so far. I'm proud of what I've done in this tournament!" Kayane said.
You can watch her first on-stage match on her YouTube channel:
Dhalsim slugs it out
MisterCrimson, playing as Dhalsim, also put in a strong performance, finishing in the top 129 out of 5,265 players in Street Fighter 6. Unfortunately, the result was below his lofty standards, failing to match his top 8 finish at EVO Las Vegas in 2022. Now he is focusing on World Warrior: France to win a place in the Capcom Cup 11 tournament with its $1,000,000 prize money.
A special moment at the Nacon stand
Nacon came out swinging with a magnificent stand that highlighted the flagship products of their accessories range, including the Daija Stick Arcade and the REVOLUTION 5 PRO, designed in collaboration with Kayane and MisterCrimson, respectively. Our ambassadors took the opportunity to enjoy some time with their fans at the Nacon stand, which had an arcade game available for visitors to try out the different fighting games, for free.
Thank you to everyone for leaving us with wonderful memories of EVO 2024! See you next year!
