EVO 2013 was a fighting game tournament, which featured the return of Super Smash Bros. Melee to the tournament series. It was the largest Melee tournament to date, with 696 entrants, over twice the amount of players more than Pound 4, the previous record holder.

Originally Melee was not to be a featured game at EVO. However, when looking for an 8th game to add to the roster, the EVO staff held a donation drive for Breast Cancer research, wherein the game community that donated the most money to the drive would have their game featured as the final official game at EVO. Although there was stiff competition from the Skullgirls community, a massive push from the Melee It On Melee Podcast staff resulted in the smash community raising nearly $95,000 on the final day of the donation drive.

A particular event that sparked outrage among the entire gaming community was when Nintendo attempted to block streaming for Melee at EVO a few days before the tournament was set to begin. However, because of extreme community backlash, Nintendo retracted their ban hours later. It was later revealed that Nintendo had also attempted to shut down the Melee portion of the tournament altogether.

Rules

General rules

  • Items are set to off and none.
  • 4 stocks
  • 8 minute time limit
  • Wobbling is allowed. The freeze glitch and infinite stalling are banned however.
  • Matches that time out will be determined by the remaining number of stocks, then percentage of the current stock if stocks are tied. In the event of a percentage tie, the match should be replayed in full. Sudden Death is not to be played, and will not count.
  • If a player accidentally pauses while stealing a life in doubles, the opposing team may deem that stock forfeit. Pausing may be turned off to prevent this.
  • Stage Striking (in the order 1-2-1) is used the decide the stage on game 1.
  • In a Best of 3 match, a player can ban 1 stage upon winning a game. In a Best of 5 match however, there are no stage bans.
  • Before the next game, the winner of the previous game decides their stage ban and character. The loser will counterpick stages and characters accordingly.
  • A player cannot counterpick the last stage he/she won on unless mutually agreed to by both players.
