Pack it up.
Every year the question gets asked, "How can Tom Cannon and Mr. Wizard top last year's Evo?" Once the dust settles, the question is answered and the latest event stands unopposed as the most hyped one.
Evo 2013 was no exception. From Reynald's resurgence from the King of Fighters XIII losers bracket to Justin Wong's amazing comebacks with Akuma in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, this year's Evo was one to remember.
Ice Climbers, anyone?
In total, nine major games were played. These titles were Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition 2012, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Super Smash Bros. Melee, King of Fighters XIII, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Street Fighter x Tekken 2013, Mortal Kombat 9 and Persona 4 Arena.
