==Controversy==
The event came under controversy during the grand finals match of the {{forwiiu}} event between {{Sm|Lima}} and {{Sm|CaptainZack}}. Neither player seemed to take the match seriously, as evidenced by their lack of staidness throughout the set and by Lima granting CaptainZack a "homie [[stock]]" during game 5 of the first set. Additionally, during game 1 of the second set, both players held [[Bullet Climax]] in place for nearly two minutes, which caused [[tournament organizer]] {{Sm|Bear}} to [https://clips.twitch.tv/WonderfulPiliableSquirrelBleedPurple come on stage] and issue both players a [https://twitter.com/BearUNLV/status/1025978601055776768 yellow card]. Many top players asserted that this set tarnished the competitive integrity of the event,<ref>https://twitter.com/DabuzSenpai/status/1025978214978445312</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/MVG_Mew2King/status/1025980476807294977</ref> and most of the audience members attending EVO had [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_eC3SBSJnE left the venue]{{dead link}} before or during grand finals. CaptainZack apologized after the match for his "disrespectful showing", but stated that he was "truly trying his best" throughout the set. <ref>https://twitter.com/CaptainZack_/status/1025996248380203008</ref> Lima also apologized for giving a "homie stock" to CaptainZack, saying that he did it because he was playing one of his best friends and didn't want the match to end with a [[self-destruct]]. Moreover, he explained that it wasn't his intention to "make grand finals look like collusion or childish", but that he simply "play[s] better when [he] play[s] to have fun".<ref>https://twitter.com/LimaBayo/status/1026004629786517504</ref> Many view the Grand Finals incident, timed with the arrival of ''Ultimate'' shortly after, as the death of competitive ''Smash 4''.

**After being a demo at EVO 2018, on February 26th, 2019, ''Ultimate'' was revealed to debut in the main lineup at {{Trn|EVO 2019}}.
*This is the first time {{Sm|Armada}} has lost to a player outside the [[Summer 2018 MPGR]] top 6 or PPMD since {{Sm|Amsah}} in 2010 (excluding sandbagging), as {{Sm|Swedish Delight}} defeated Armada in winners top 24.
**Armada embarked on an impressive losers run after his loss to Swedish Delight, defeating {{Sm|Gahtzu}}, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Zain}}, {{Sm|S2J}}, {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, and {{Sm|Plup}} before losing to Leffen 0-3 in grand finals.
*This is the first time where none of the [[Five Gods]] won ''Melee'' singles at EVO post-EVO 2013, with {{Sm|Leffen}} defeating Armada in grand finals.
**This is also the first EVO to have no American players in ''Melee'' grand finals.
*This is the first time since {{Trn|CEO Dreamland}} where {{Sm|Salem}} placed outside of the top 12, where he got 17th place.
*There was a poll for which game {{iw|wikipedia|Arc System Works}} president Minoru Kidooka should enter. ''Melee'' ended up taking 1st place in the poll and Kidooka entered said game.<ref>https://www.twingalaxies.com/feed_details.php/794/arc-systems-work-president-playing-smash-bros-melee-at-evo-2018/6</ref> He placed 721st out of 1,353 entrants.<ref>https://start.gg/tournament/evo-2018/event/evo-2018-1/entrant/1905977</ref>
