==Tournament summary==
===''Melee''===
During the tournament, {{Sm|Hungrybox}} was yellow carded following his set with {{Sm|SFAT}} due to {{Sm|Crunch}} appearing on-stage as his coach [https://clips.twitch.tv/GiftedCuriousMonkeyPeteZaroll after the first game] when the rules disallowed coaching after round 2 pools, a rule that Crunch said he was unaware. This decision was met with controversy as the rules regarding coaching past pools would result in a match loss for the coached player which Hungrybox did not receive. However, SFAT was also allegedly being coached by {{Sm|G$}}, which resulted in [https://twitter.com/MrWiz/status/886420453195108352 the match standing]; this led to even more controversy, as many people agreed that SFAT was not being coached at all by G$, as [https://clips.twitch.tv/SavageSoftNoodleCurseLit the action performed] did not qualify under the definition. Furthermore, the [http://evo.shoryuken.com/tournament-rules/#ruleenforcement official EVO rules] state that any incident should be reported at the time it occurs, and will otherwise be ignored, so technically, Hungrybox should not have been carded at all.
This tournament marked both {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|Mango}}'s third appearances at an EVO Grand Final, with Armada making it through the Winner's side of the bracket while Mango entered through the Loser's side after falling to Armada in Winner's Finals and double-eliminating defending champion Hungrybox at 3rd. Armada defeated his longtime rival in Grand Finals 3-1, taking his second-ever EVO title and tying Mango with the most EVO titles for a ''Melee'' player.
===''Smash 4''===
The tournament saw the top 2 players from the previous [[Tournament:EVO 2016|iteration]], {{Sm|Ally}} and {{Sm|Kameme}}, severely underperform, as both players were eliminated prior to top 48: Ally lost to {{Sm|Kuwa}} and {{Sm|MVD}} to place 49th, while kameme lost to {{Sm|Dom|p=New York}} and {{Sm|Eon}} to place 65th. In addition, {{Sm|MkLeo}} also notably underperformed, losing to {{Sm|false}} and {{Sm|MuteAce}} for 65th. All three placements either tied or were the respective players' worst tournament placement up to that point.
After losing his Winner's Semis match to {{Sm|Larry Lurr}}, {{Sm|Salem}} ran through the Loser's bracket, defeating {{Sm|KEN}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, and Larry Lurr in the runback to meet {{Sm|ZeRo}} in Grand Finals. After resetting the bracket 2-3, Salem barely managed to defeat ZeRo in game 5 of the second set by making a high-percent comeback, winning his first major/supermajor event, as well as the first major/supermajor win for a {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} player.
Salem's run was similar to Hungrybox's ''Melee'' run from the previous year where they both lost their winners semis matches 0-2 against the #6 ranked player at that time (Larry Lurr and {{Sm|Plup}}, respectively), only to defeat them 3-1 in Loser's Finals after losing the first game and then win the tournament by playing a total of ten games against the #1 player at that time ({{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Armada}}, respectively), with one of the two sets' game 5 requiring an unlikely comeback.

*This marked the first time that the {{forwiiu}} finals was held on Sunday, and the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' finals was held on Saturday.
* This marked the first time that the {{forwiiu}} finals will be held on Sunday, and the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' finals will be held on Saturday.
*EVO 2017 marked the 10 year anniversary of ''Melee'' 's original appearance at [[EVO 2007]].
* This is the fifth consecutive appearance for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' at EVO (sixth overall), as well being the third consecutive appearance for {{forwiiu}}.
*At the beginning of ''Smash 4's'' Top 8, [https://twitch.tv Twitch] experienced [[wikipedia:Denial-of-service_attack#Unintentional_denial-of-service|serious server issues]], due to the large number of people around the globe who attempted to watch the event.<ref>http://downdetector.com/status/twitch/news/143960-problems-at-twitch-2</ref>
* EVO 2017 is the 10 year anniversary of ''Melee'' 's original appearance at [[EVO 2007]].
* Hungrybox was yellow carded following his set with {{Sm|SFAT}} due to {{Sm|Crunch}} appearing on-stage as his coach [https://clips.twitch.tv/GiftedCuriousMonkeyPeteZaroll after the first game] when the rules disallowed coaching after round 2 pools. This decision was met with controversy as the rules regarding coaching past pools would result in a match loss for the coached player which Hungrybox did not receive. However, SFAT was also allegedly being coached by {{Sm|G$}}, which resulted in [https://twitter.com/MrWiz/status/886420453195108352 the match standing]; this led to even more controversy, as many people agreed that SFAT was not being coached at all by G$, as [https://clips.twitch.tv/SavageSoftNoodleCurseLit the action performed] did not qualify under the definition. Crunch also stated that he was unaware of the rules.
** Furthermore, the [http://evo.shoryuken.com/tournament-rules/#ruleenforcement official EVO rules] state that any incident should be reported at the time it occurs, and will otherwise be ignored, so technically, Hungrybox should not have been carded at all.
* EVO 2017 stands as one of {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s worst ''Smash 4'' tournaments, placing 65th (the other being [[2GGC: Civil War]] where he also placed 65th).
* EVO 2017 also stands as {{Sm|Ally}}'s worst ''Smash 4'' tournament in 2017, placing 49th since placing the same at [[CEO 2016]] over a year prior.
* At the beginning of ''Smash 4's'' Top 8, [https://twitch.tv Twitch] experienced [[wikipedia:Denial-of-service_attack#Unintentional_denial-of-service|serious server issues]], due to the large number of people around the globe who attempted to watch the event.<ref>http://downdetector.com/status/twitch/news/143960-problems-at-twitch-2</ref>
* {{Sm|Salem}}'s run through this EVO's ''Smash 4'' top 8 shares many similarities with {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s ''Melee'' performance at EVO the year prior. They both lost their winners semis matches by 0-2 against the #6 ranked player ({{Sm|Larry Lurr}} and {{Sm|Plup}}, respectively), then won their losers quarters matches against the top-ranked solo mains of their respective characters by 2-0 ({{Sm|KEN}} and {{Sm|S2J}} at the time), won their losers semis matches by 2-1 after losing game 1, won their losers finals matches against the players who sent them to the losers bracket by 3-1 after losing game 1, and seized the tournament victory against the #1 ranked player through two grand finals sets of five games each ({{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Armada}}, who also both won an EVO before), while also sharing the same game victory order during the second set. Much like Hungrybox's famous comeback against Armada on game 5 of their first set of grand finals at [[EVO 2016]], Salem also pulled an unlikely comeback against ZeRo on game 5 to win, albeit on the second set. Additionally, both Salem and Hungrybox are from Florida, and both are known for their slower, patient playstyle.
**Salem's run also bears similarities to Nairo's finish at [[MLG World Finals 2015]]. Both in Grand Finals reset against ZeRo, and both ending the set with an off-the-top blast zone KO from a relatively low percent.
**This is also the second Smash 4 tournament where Salem has double-eliminated ZeRo, the first being [[Collision XIV]].
*ZeRo temporarily deactivated his Twitter account shortly after the conclusion of ''Smash 4's'' grand finals. Although a number of observers believed he had done so to avoid harassment over his loss, ZeRo reactivated his account later in the day, stating [https://twitter.com/TSMZeRo/status/886821829851009024 he only deactivated his account to relax] and that [https://twitter.com/TSMZeRo/status/886823807666634752 he did not want to worry anyone].
*{{Sm|D1}}, who commentated with {{Sm|TKBreezy}} for the [[EVO 2015|2015]] and [[EVO 2016|2016]] {{forwiiu}} finals as well as [[EVO 2014|2014]]'s ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' finals (with {{Sm|Prog}}), ended up commentating on DisneyXD/ESPNU this year alongside {{Sm|VikkiKitty}}. On [[Twitch]], TK would be joined by his Black Plague partner {{Sm|EE}}.
**Furthermore, EVO 2017 is the first tournament for any ''Super Smash Bros.'' game to be broadcast on live television (''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' finals were broadcast on DisneyXD and ESPNU).
