'''Evolution 2015''', or simply '''EVO 2015''', was the 14th edition of the [[EVO|Evolution Championship Series]], a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, which took place on July 17th to 19th, 2015 at the {{s|wikipedia|Bally's Las Vegas}} / {{s|wikipedia|Paris Las Vegas}} Casino. It featured ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and {{forwiiu}} singles, as well as a ''Melee'' doubles side-event.

EVO 2015 currently stands as the [[List of largest Smash tournaments|second largest ''Melee'' and ''Smash 4'' tournament to date]], with 1,926 entrants for ''Smash 4'', 1,869 entrants for ''Melee'', and 3,284 unique players across both games. Contrary to expectations that there would be a large overlap on the player base for both games, [[Joey Cuellar]], EVO's tournament director, confirmed that only 517 players entered both games, an overlap of only 16%.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/EvilMrWizard/status/616145092873596928 |title=Smash Registration statistics |publisher=Joey "MrWizard" Cuellar, EVO 2015's tournament director |accessdate=2015-07-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/OneFrameLink/status/616627483320950784 |title=Smash Registration statistics |publisher=One Frame Link |accessdate=2015-07-26}}</ref>

EVO 2015 allowed [[character customization|custom special moves]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' by utilizing the [[Official Custom Moveset Project]], and was notably the last major tournament to use the project. Furthermore, several of the game's [[DLC]] characters, {{SSB4|Lucas}}, {{SSB4|Roy}}, and {{SSB4|Ryu}}, were not allowed due to their then-recent release<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/EvilMrWizard/status/610484724033662976 |title=Why Roy, Ryu and Lucas are banned at EVO 2015  |publisher=Joey "MrWizard" Cuellar, EVO 2015's tournament director |accessdate=2015-06-22}}</ref>.

==Official game lineup==
The official game lineup for EVO 2015 was announced on January 20th, by Joey Cuellar, during a live stream on Twitch.tv, with Mike Ross as host. Notably for this year's edition was the inclusion of two ''Smash'' games on the official lineup, for the first time, with the return of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' alongside {{forwiiu}}. The decision to include both games was made after continued interest in ''Melee'' was noted by the staff, following the release of  ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', with the record breaking numbers for [[Apex 2015]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjiscOndons&feature=youtu.be&t=35m51s |title=Evolution 2015 Games Reveal |publisher=Twitch |accessdate=2015-06-23}}</ref>

==Trivia==
*{{Sm|ZeRo}}, who won the {{forwiiu}} event, did not lose a single game in tournament, making him the first person ever to do so.
**He was also the first Chilean to win an EVO event, as KaneBlueRiver won the ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' event the next day.
*Nintendo of America marketing manager and translator {{s|wikipedia|Bill Trinen}} registered to participate in the ''SSB4'' tournament, under the tag "Th | trintroll",<ref>[https://twitter.com/trintran/status/617001138672406528]</ref> with the "Th" crew tag apparently standing for {{s|mariowiki|Treehouse}}. However, due to the passing of [[Satoru Iwata]], president of Nintendo, Trinen changed his plans and did not attend, as EVO was held on the same weekend as Iwata's funeral.<ref>[https://twitter.com/trintran/status/621360923702235136]</ref>
**In response to Satoru Iwata's passing, a moment of silence was held before ''Smash 4''{{'}}s top 8.
*MadCatz once again gave out gold FightSticks for EVO winners this year. The top 3 of each official EVO game, including both ''Smash'' games, received one.<ref>[https://twitter.com/EvilMrWizard/status/616755929061552128]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/EvilMrWizard/status/616756329676300288]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/EvilMrWizard/status/616756934025195520]</ref>
*After receiving his 5th place medal in ''[[Melee]]'' singles, {{Sm|Mango}} took it off and threw it into the crowd.
*{{Sm|Plup}} humorously forgot to appear on stage to receive his medal with the rest of the top 8 players.
*{{Sm|PC Chris}} did not attend the tournament, although imposters attended in the ''Melee'' and ''Smash 4'' tournaments using his name.
*This tournament marks highest ever placing of a {{SSB4|Pac-Man}} main at a ''Smash 4'' national, with {{Sm|Abadango}} placing 4th.
*This tournament also marks {{Sm|Ken}}'s highest placing at a supermajor since {{Trn|Super Champ Combo}}, placing 13th.
