''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' was announced to make its EVO debut in 2019. While confirmed to replace ''Smash 4'' if it released in time in 2018<ref>https://twitter.com/mrwiz/status/971921848945528833?s=21</ref>, this was the first EVO post-release. For the first time since EVO 2012, ''Melee'' was not revealed to be in the lineup, instead being hosted as a side event, making EVO 2019 the first one since 2014 to feature only one Smash game at EVO instead of two. ''Ultimate'' at EVO 2019 ended up being the largest Smash tournament of all time and the first with over 3,000 players. It was the most popular game at EVO 2019 and was the first time a Smash game had the most entrants at EVO. It  also achieved the highest peak viewership on Twitch for any game at EVO. ''Ultimate'' will appear at {{Trn|EVO Japan 2020}}, being the headlining game for the tournament.
