Evo 2023 line-up announcement features Street Fighter 6 and brings old Marvel 3 players out of retirement
The official line-up for Evo 2023 was announced today. Street Fighter 6 is making its Evo debut, while plenty of community favourites like Guilty Gear: Strive and Tekken 7 are getting another go at the main stage too. Each game with have a prize pool of at least $25,000 each.
The event, which was bought out by Sony and RTS in 2021, is also making some substantial changes! The Top 8 finals format has been controversially scrapped and replaced with Top 6, apparently to keep things from running overtime.
Let’s start with the big one. Street Fighter 6 will be featured at Evo 2023, and stood out as a main point of excitement for many of the prior Evo winners interviewed as part of the announcement show. Only a few days prior at the Capcom Pro Tour finals, a $1,000,000 prize for 1st place in next year’s Capcom Cup Street Fighter 6 winner. The combination of the two has thousands hyped to attend Evo and give the game a go.

Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show and announcement is breaking the internet
Rihanna’s highly-anticipated Super Bowl halftime performance on Sunday night was met with a mix of excitement and praise from fans and stans across the internet. From passionate praise of the pop star’s energy and showmanship to poking fun at the excellent set design, the performance sparked a range of emotions across social media.
Rihanna’s 15-minute set featured classic songs across the singer’s discography including “Where Have You Been”, “Only Girl in the World”, “We Found Love”, “Rude Boy”, “Work”, “Wild Wild”, “Blow it Up”, “All of the Lights”, “Run this Town”, “Umbrella” and “Diamonds”.
Before the halftime show even began
As Mashable covered earlier this week, many have speculated or tried to predict Rihanna’s setlist or even how’d she come out on Sunday. Many fans have even expressed that if the show didn’t start with “Pon de Replay” then the performance would already be a bust.
What an opener
At +1100 odds in Vegas, Riri decided to bless the Superbowl with “Bitch Better Have My Money” to start the halftime. From the setlist of classic Rihanna songs to the set design to that AMAZING red coat, this year’s halftime show was a spectacle and social media agrees.
Super Smash Bros set design
Some users have pointed out the excellent set design and that it bears a similar resemblance to certain fan-favorite Nintendo video game series.
The biggest reveal of the night
The biggest surprise of the performance may have been the announcement of Rihanna’s second pregnancy. The appearance of a baby bump had some speculating that may be the case and they were right. And it may have broken the internet…more so than the first time. Everyone is happy for Rihanna but most are mad at the father of her children, rapper A$AP Rocky.
Some Googlers reportedly aren’t happy about Bard’s ‘rushed’ announcement
Googlers are talking all about the company’s announcement of its ChatGPT rival, Bard — and many aren’t happy with how things went. According to a report from CNBC, Google employees are calling the launch of the AI chatbot “rushed” and “botched” in posts across the company’s internal message boards, with many targeting CEO Sundar Pichai.
Google announced Bard earlier this week in a bid to get ahead of Microsoft, which took the wraps off of its ChatGPT-powered Bing a day later. But when the company tweeted out a demo of Bard on Monday, several users pointed out that it contained a factual error. Meanwhile, a presenter at Google’s search event on Wednesday forgot the phone they were going to use to show off one of Bard’s features, and some…
Bing confirms ChatGPT-style search with OpenAI announcement. See the details
At its event on Tuesday, Microsoft announced a new version of Bing that’s “more powerful than ChatGPT.” The proprietary new search technology, called “the Prometheus model” is described as “your co-pilot for the web” and is powered by ChatGPT creator OpenAI.
New features include more relevant search ranking, generating content, and a chat feature to learn more about search results.

In a demo during the event, Tom’s Guide, which attended the event in person, described a video of “someone asking Bing to write an email outlining a family trip to Mexico (just planned with Bing), then translate that letter to Spanish.” TechRadar described another demo where Bing founds egg substitutes in a recipe and suggested the exact ingredient in all-natural language. Microsoft has also announced integration of this search technology into its web browser Edge as an icon in the upper-right corner.

The new and improved AI-powered Bing is available today in limited preview mode for desktops (mobile soon to come) and will be more widely available to preview in the coming weeks.
Since OpenAI released the latest version of ChatGPT in December, it has become the fastest growing app of all time. Its intelligence is more advanced than other chatbots currently available, which has made it popular for a wide range of use cases including writing articles, job applications, school essays, and coding malware.
Other less terrifying uses include fighting a denied healthcare claim, answering life’s greatest mysteries, and passing “the Nazi test.” When it was reported that Microsoft was investing billions of dollars in OpenAI, it prompted both speculation about how the technology would be scaled. Last week, rumors about the integration intensified when a new Bing interface using ChatGPT appeared then quickly disappeared.
Bing announcement follows Google’s Bard reveal
It has also prompted action from Google executives who declared a “code red.” It almost feels like an understatement to say Google has dominated the search engine game. Like Kleenex or Band-Aid, “Googling” is synonymous with searching for information on the internet.
Google has 92 percent of the world’s market share compared to Bing’s 2 percent. But ChatGPT’s integration with Bing is enough of a threat to Google’s piece of the pie that Google has scrambled to launch its own conversational AI tool Bard and host an event this Wednesday (the day after Microsoft’s announcement.)
Whether ChatGPT’s integration with Bing is enough to lure users away from Google remains to be seen. But consider this announcement the starting pistol for the race to win the new era of search.
