Apex 2013 was the fourth tournament in the Apex tournament series, held by Alex Strife. It was held from January 11th-13th, 2013. It was the fourth-largest Smash 64 tournament in the United States with 96 entrants, and the third-largest Brawl tournament of all time with 338 entrants. Like the preceding Apex tournaments, Apex 2013 had a fair amount of international competition.
The most notable event at this tournament was Salem coming out of nowhere to win Brawl singles using only Zero Suit Samus. Not only had he won one of the largest Brawl tournaments using a character that wasn't top tier, but Salem had not even won any of the Tristate local tournaments he had attended earlier. The results of this tournament, along with Salem's demonstration of Zero Suit Samus' techniques, caused her to rise up on the next tier list and made many players think that she belongs in the top tier. Kikoushi also won the Smash 64 singles tournament, defeating Isai in grand finals, and Armada became the first player to win Apex more than once, winning Melee singles in both Apex 2012 and Apex 2013.
