2D Fighters

The very first Heir to the Throne tournament was created and executed by Evilbutters, beginning in April 2007 and ending in mid-July. Encompassing over 300 competitors and lasting 309 matches, this is still the largest Heir to the Throne to date, including nearly every character from major 2D Fighting games.

This tournament would serve as the genesis to future Heir to the Throne Tournaments. In fact, none of this would exist if not for the concept, time, and effort from Evilbutters.
