'''Evolution 2016''', or simply '''EVO 2016''', was the 15th edition of the [[EVO|Evolution Championship Series]], a fighting game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. It took place in July on Friday the 15th to Sunday the 17th at the Las Vegas Convention Center, then at the Mandalay Bay Events Center to host finals.

It was announced on January 26th, 2016 by EVO's tournament director, Joey "Mr. Wizard" Cuellar, that both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and {{forwiiu}} would be featured as official games on the EVO 2016 game lineup.<ref>[http://shoryuken.com/2015/11/01/evo-2016-scheduled-for-july-15-17/ EVO 2016 dates announced]</ref><ref>[http://shoryuken.com/2016/01/26/evo-2016-lineup-revealed-street-fighter-smash-guilty-gear-pokken-and-more/ Evo 2016 Lineup and Venue revealed]</ref> 

EVO 2016 is the [[List of largest Smash tournaments|largest ever tournament]] for both ''Melee'' and ''Smash 4'', with over 2,000 entrants in both games, surpassing the records set by [[EVO 2015|its predecessor]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/EvilMrWizard/status/748775258828578817 Final entrance numbers]</ref>

==Summary of events==
===''Melee''===
{{Sm|PPMD}} and {{Sm|Leffen}} were registered to enter ''Melee'', but the former dropped out due to health problems, while the latter was forced to drop out due to his persistent visa issues. Despite the absence of two of the [[2015 SSBMRank]] Top 6, however, the competition still proved to be fierce. {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, after losing to {{Sm|Plup}} in winners' semis, defeated {{Sm|S2J}} in losers' quarters, {{Sm|Mango}} in losers' semis, Plup again in losers' finals, and {{Sm|Armada}} in two extremely close 3-2 sets in grand finals to win his first EVO championship. While down a full stock in game 5 of set one, on the brink of elimination, Hungrybox landed a successful edgeguard on Armada, followed by a [[zero-to-death]] [[Rest]] combo to reset the bracket.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeX8SlPzlXI|title=Armada vs. Hungrybox grand finals}}</ref> The set (along with Hungrybox's popoff following his victory) has become one of the most well-known moments in competitive ''Melee'' history, and helped cement his "Clutchbox" reputation for pulling off immense comebacks in bracket.

Plup also performed exceptionally well at the tournament, defeating Mango in winners' quarters and Hungrybox in winners' semis before finally falling to Armada in winners' finals and Hungrybox in losers' finals, placing 3rd. S2J had an impressive losers' bracket run, defeating {{Sm|JAVI}}, {{Sm|DruggedFox}}, {{Sm|Duck}}, and {{Sm|Westballz}}, placing 5th with a character often considered below the threshold for a top-tier character.

===''Smash 4''===
Many top players from Japan flew out to compete in ''Smash 4'', most notably {{Sm|Kamemushi}}, who's made his first major appearance in North America. {{Sm|Ally}} won his first EVO after defeating {{Sm|Dabuz}} in winners' quarters, {{Sm|Abadango}} in winners' semis and Kamemushi twice, 3-0 in winners' finals and 3-1 in grand finals. Kamemushi, who claimed he would win EVO at [[Umebura 23]] two months prior, defeated {{Sm|Mr. R}}, {{Sm|Earth}} and {{Sm|VoiD}} on his path to winners finals. After losing to Ally, he notably put an end to [[EVO 2015]] champion {{Sm|ZeRo}}'s long losers bracket run with a 3-0 victory and finished the tournament with a strong 2nd place. This was {{SSB4|Mega Man}}'s highest placing at a ''Smash 4'' major, and changed many players' opinions on {{SSB4|Mega Man}}'s presence in the metagame and the potential of Japan's top talent in general (Abadango and {{Sm|Ranai}} were also present in top 8). After taking an early loss to {{Sm|Mr.E}} in round 2 pools and narrowly defeating {{Sm|Salem}} in a last-hit situation, ZeRo made it all the way to losers finals, taking down {{Sm|Hyuga}}, {{Sm|Komorikiri}}, {{Sm|KEN}}, Earth, {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, Abadango and VoiD on the way, but his road to the back-to-back championship was cut short after facing off against Kamemushi in a very anticipated set.

==Trivia==
*{{Sm|Ken}}, who won the first ''Melee'' tournament at [[EVO World 2007]], was invited as a guest during the EVO 2016 lineup announcement to comment on ''Melee'''s history at EVO.
*This is the first EVO ever where a Canadian (namely, {{Sm|Ally}}) has won in any of the games played at EVO.
*This is the first EVO with ''Melee'' as part of the game lineup where an {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} player did not make Top 8. ({{Sm|ChuDat}} made Top 8 at EVO World 2007 and EVO 2015, {{Sm|Wobbles}} made Top 8 at [[EVO 2013]], and {{Sm|Fly Amanita}} made Top 8 at [[EVO 2014]].)
**Similarly, this is the first EVO with ''Melee'' as part of the game lineup where a {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} player has gotten in Top 8.
