'''EVO Japan 2020''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' supermajor held in Tokyo, Japan, from January 24th-26th, 2020. The event originally had 2,988 entrants, which would have made it [[List of largest Smash tournaments|the second largest ''Super Smash Bros.'' tournament of all time]], the largest international tournament, and the only international tournament to surpass 2,000 entrants. However, the tournament saw an estimated 1,169 disqualifications, placing the total entrants that showed up at around 1,819.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/juddy_96/status/1220690354556612618|title=Juddy's estimates}}</ref> This can likely be attributed to the tournament having no entrance fee, causing many to sign up without knowing for sure if they would be able to attend, as pools took place in the middle of a work day. Nevertheless, it is still considered one of the largest Japanese tournaments of all time by both attendees and top talent, only being superseded by {{Trn|Kagaribi 12}}. | '''EVO Japan 2020''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros.
