EVO Japan 2020 is an ongoing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate national held in Tokyo, Japan, from January 24th-26th, 2020. Currently, EVO Japan 2020 is the second largest Super Smash Bros. tournament of all time, the largest international tournament, and the only international tournament that has reached over 2,000 entrants. However, the tournament saw an estimated 1,169 disqualifications, placing the total entrants that showed up at around 1,819. This is likely due to EVO Japan not having any entrance fee, causing many to sign up without knowing for sure if they would be able to attend.

Pot prize controversy

On January 20th, 2020, PracticalTAS made a post on Twitter that listed all the prizes for every game at EVO Japan 2020. 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.
