'''Frostbite 2018''' was a [[List of national tournaments|national]] {{forwiiu}} tournament held in Dearborn, [[Michigan]]. It took place on February 9th-11th, 2018. On February 8th, 2018, the tournament organizers revealed that the tournament would be sponsored by [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]].<ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/ComeToFrostbite/status/961617358564544512|title=Frostbite twitter reveals Nintendo partnership.}}</ref>

This tournament sparked controversy on [[reddit]] and social media regarding {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} and her perceived status as an [[overpowered]] character, due to the high number of players using her throughout the bracket, while three of the Top 8 players primarily used Bayonetta on that period of the bracket. A topic of debate sparked on whether or not the character should be banned completely from tournament play, citing significantly decreased viewership throughout Top 8 compared to previous major tournaments, as well as unfavorable reactions from the crowd and commentators on stream.
