The tournament featured ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' on its official game lineup, but also hosted a side event for [[Project M]] on its "Bring Your Own Console" (BYOC) area. It was the 4th time EVO featured a Smash game and broke the record for the [[List of largest Smash tournaments|largest ''Smash'' tournament]] at the time, with 970 entrants for ''Melee''.


EVO 2014 notably featured [[Nintendo]], the publisher for the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, as a sponsor, with a speech given by [[Reggie Fils-Aimé]], President of Nintendo of America; this was in stark contrast to Nintendo's attempt to shut down ''Melee'' at EVO 2013 a year earlier. In addition, {{Sm|Prog}} was presented the Cannon Award in his honor for his service to the Smash community.
