Tournament:EVO Japan 2020

Line 13:

'''EVO Japan 2020''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' national held in Tokyo, Japan, from January 24th-26th, 2020. Initially, EVO Japan 2020 had 2,988 entrants, making it [[List of largest Smash tournaments|the second largest ''Super Smash Bros.'' tournament of all time]], the largest international tournament, and the only international tournament that had 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. <ref>{{citeweb|url=https://twitter.com/juddy_96/status/1220690354556612618|title=Juddy's estimates}}</ref> This can likely be attributed to the tournament not having any entrance fee, causing many to sign up without knowing for sure if they would be able to attend, as pools were in the middle of a work day.

The top 8 players were congratulated by the director of the ~~[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|~~''Super Smash Bros.'']] series, [[Masahiro Sakurai]], and were awarded a gift bag from the Nintendo Tokyo store. The winner, {{Sm|Shuton}}, won a limited edition [[Nintendo Switch Pro Controller]] with a gold ''Super Smash Bros.'' series symbol emblem.

*{{Sm|Choco}} placed 33rd, getting his first result out of Top 24 since {{Trn|Umebura 25}} where he finished in that same placement.

*{{Sm|Shuton}}'s prize was accidentally dropped by one of the staff during the brief moment it was handed over to them.

*In a now-famous series of clips, ~~the~~ {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}} player, {{Sm|Rikuya}}, managed to get ~~the enemy~~ {{SSBU|Cloud}} player, {{Sm|takoman}}, in a 70 second long ~~{{b|Infinite|disambiguation}}~~ string that ended in a KO at 616% damage. This was only made possible since Japan does not have any rules regulating the usage of infinites past a certain damage threshold.

This was only made possible since Japan does not have any rules regulating the usage of infinites past a certain damage threshold.

**The infinite in question is referred to as the "Pyramid Scheme", in which Diddy Kong has to consistently trap the opponents on a platform above him with ~~the~~ {{b|Banana Peel|move}} ~~down special move~~ with very precise timing and execution. This is possible since, unlike stunning or jab resets, tripping can be reset an unlimited amount of times.

This was possible since, unlike stunning or jab resets, tripping can be reset an unlimited amount of times. This has since been effectively patched out, due to the time needed for Diddy Kong to pull out another Banana Peel being extended.
