==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The [https://e3.nintendo.com/assets/logo-smash-invitational.svg logo] featured on Nintendo's E3 website is unusually titled "logo FINAL?" in the browser tab title.
**This could be related to the fact that Super Smash Bros. is stated to be the game’s tentative title.
**This could also be related to the fact that in standard business practice companies tend to save files with names based on their progress. "FINAL?" could simply mean it was saved as the logo itself could have undergone further editing.
*{{Sm|ZeRo}} was the only invited player to return from the first Invitational, which he won.

*[https://youtu.be/BECSA1CHyi0 The match] pitting {{Sm|MkLeo}} (Bayonetta) against {{Sm|Plup}} (Ridley) was controversial, as the match was hugely in MkLeo's favor. This is mostly due to him using Bayonetta, who is a highly controversial character in general, as people considered her to be [[broken]] in ''Smash 4''. However, another crucial element was the fact that Plup was using Ridley, who is a new character that he wasn't very familiar with, and possessed a massive hurtbox that made him easy to juggle with a character like Bayonetta.

*In a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uZOpkf4hKw doubles match] with {{Sm|Mr.R}} and {{Sm|Lucky}} against Plup and {{Sm|Abadango}}, Lucky repeatedly mistakenly attacked Mr.R, due to believing the match was a free-for-all instead of a 2v2.<ref>https://twitter.com/Mr_RSmash/status/1006653603036033024</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Legend0fLucky/status/1006654048555053057</ref> It's likely that, as a ''Melee'' player, Lucky simply forgot about the ability to choose costumes in teams (which was added in ''Smash 4'').
