There's little doubt that the Evolution Championship Series, better known as EVO, serves as a beating heart of the fighting game community. For some twenty years, EVO has served as the culmination all kinds of fighting game circuits, from traditional fighters like Tekken and Street Fighter to platform fighters like Super Smash Bros. That's why it's so sad to hear that Super Smash Bros. won't be at EVO this year. Smash fans likely expected to see their favorite Smash Ultimate and Melee players battle at EVO as usual, but according to EVO's Twitter account, Nintendo has decided to pull Smash from the tournament lineup.
