==Controversy==
===''Melee''===
The losers side of the ''Melee'' bracket was discovered to be incorrectly decided.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/PracticalTAS/status/1472427004767219712?s=20|title=Melee Top 12 losers bracket}}</ref> Despite the discrepancy being discovered long before the sets would have started, the bracket was not changed.
===''Ultimate''===
Following the end of {{Sm|ProtoBanham}} vs {{Sm|Sonix}}, it was discovered that every set in top 12 up until then was played with [[Underdog Boost]] enabled,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ekzLeon/status/1472732883278307330|title=Clip of Sonix's dash attack KOing much earlier than intended}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/SalvatoreZomba/status/1472736297471164418?s=20|title=Photo taken of the SWT in-game ruleset}}</ref> as well as other sets played the day prior.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LemmayKoopa/status/1472744963611975684|title=Clip of Sonix's down throw doing more damage than intended}}</ref> The tournament would continue without any sets being replayed. Many players in the tournament as well as spectators were frustrated by this and believed the competitive integrity of the tournament had been ruined, further emphasized by the tournament being the conclusion to {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021}} which had a $150,000 dollar prize pool. Criticism was aimed at the [[tournament organizer]]s for failing to check the ruleset before top 12 began, however, it was revealed that the ruleset had been verified before top 12 began,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/TKbreezy/status/1472743789483732993?s=20||title=https://twitter.com/TKbreezy/status/1472743789483732993}}</ref> causing speculation that the rule change was made during top 12 by either a player in bracket or a tournament organizer.
