On January 20th, 2020, {{Sm|PracticalTAS}} made a post on Twitter that listed all the prizes for every game at EVO Japan 2020.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/PracticalTAS/status/1219428549272227841|title=PracticalTAS's post}}</ref> He noted that, while every other fighting game had a pot prize for the players who made top 8, ''Ultimate'' only rewarded the champion a Nintendo Switch pro controller as the prize, with second place and below being rewarded nothing. This stirred up controversy in the ''Smash'' community due to the underwhelming prize pool - or lack thereof - in a tournament with almost 3,000 entrants, and further fueled ongoing debate on Nintendo's support of ''Smash Bros.'' prize pools. | On January 20th, 2020, {{Sm|PracticalTAS}} made a post on Twitter that listed all the prizes for every game at EVO Japan 2020.<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/PracticalTAS/status/1219428549272227841|title=PracticalTAS's post}}</ref> He noted that, while every other fighting game had a pot prize for the players who made top 8, ''Ultimate'' only rewarded the champion a Nintendo Switch pro controller as the prize, with second place and below being rewarded nothing.
