Controversy
There were several points of contention during the Melee singles events. At the beginning of vs., which was a Sheik ditto, both players agreed to not chaingrab one another as per Gentleman's rule. However, once Mew2King was down 2-1 in the set, he told Shroomed he wanted to start chaingrabbing again. While this was technically legal by the ruleset, it did result in some controversy about whether or not this was good sportsmanship.

During top 8, it was found that vs. (which Chu won 3-2) was initially played with the UCF mod off. The TOs made both players agree to replay the set , and it was replayed after  vs. . Leffen ended up winning the replay 3-2. This led to disputes about whether the replay should have been allowed, as many top players have noted their disapproval of the decision. In addition, many players noted the problem in allowing players to make tournament-changing decisions.

had also been DQ'd from his pool, after failure by Shine TOs to notify a change in schedule.
