Some fast notes to write down:
-





















, and for that matter, 

are nowhere to be seen within the top 100 standings. The lack of certain Japan reps for the latter three really seemed to have taken a toll on their representation. Casting those three aside, outside of Ken, Ryu, and to a lesser extent, the Belmonts, Marth, and the ICs, the rest of the characters mentioned are generally viewed as low-mid to low tier characters. At the very least, Jiggs and Ken/Ryu have BassMage and Brosinex backing them up respectively.
- Meanwhile,





are literally hanging as secondary strands that are pretty much clinging onto the coattails of high level players, despite the mostly positive reception the latter three seem to receive from top level players. Only Meta Knight and Sheik have more than one rep as a secondary. On a slightly more positive note, DK and Ganon have Konga and Rickles backing them up respectively.
- Characters such as















, and surprisingly enough, 


have only got 1-2 dedicated players backing them up, especially in the case of characters such as Villager, Diddy Kong, Rosalina, Luigi, Lucario, DDD, Mr. Game and Watch, Zelda, and oddly enough, Inkling. The latter four are mostly secure as they have the creme of the top supporting them, but as for everyone else, it's looking to be a fight for survival to see who gets he farthest.
- Despite her nerfs,
continues to see a ton of representation, with Samsora, MuteAce, Ling Ling, Razo, Umeki, and Zinoto all backing her up. Looks like the Toadstool Princess still has quite a bit of crutches to fall back on. While
is feeling a bit more of a sting, he still has 3 players in the top quartile backing him up, so that's a good sign for him.
-
appears to be nowhere near as dominating as beforehand, with neither Salem or MVD breaking top ten; the loss of Ally definitely did hurt him. He still has a good selection of players backing him up, but he doesn't seem to be as overcentralizing as during the earlier stages of Ultimate's meta game.
- Holy cow, it's like everyone suddenly became a PKMN Trainer overnight because there are
s EVERYWHERE. Okay, everywhere is a stretch, but there's Tweek, Puppeh, HIKARU, Pandarian, and now, even Leffen is joining in as well, seemingly coming out of his temporary SSBU retirement, at least for EVO, anyway. He may be a flavor of the month, but that flavor's gonna last if people like Tweek continue to rep him.
-


are all pretty popular choices, but moreso at the lower half of the standings for the most part; with the exception of Nairo's and zackray's performances, these characters do perform well at lower level tournaments, but are generally more inconsistent at higher category tournaments; who knows, though, maybe things will change this time around. There's also something oddly poetic about FOW being paired up right NEXT to ven XD
-

are seen a fairly decent amount as both mains and secondary picks; this makes sense for the latter two, as Roy is a generally easy character to pick up while also have a good matchup spread, while Young Link has a niche as a strong counterpick against characters who can't answer his wall of projectiles effectively. Captain Falcon is a bit of a mystery on the other hand, as only recently he's started turning up more frequently as a secondary; whatever he's got seems to be doing the job, though.
- Things are turning up for
; despite only having two reps, they both fall just short of top 10, and seeing how VoiD has been rapidly improving with the yellow rat, be sure to keep a look out for it.
-



, and
all find themselves in pretty comfortable spots atm. Mario, R.O.B. Mega Man, and Lucina continue to experience stagnant, but nevertheless strong representation, and we can count on kameme, ProtoBanham, WaDi, and Prodigy to get pretty far. On the other hand, Fox, Greninja, and especially Pichu have all fallen a fair amount, with the lack of Eon or VoiD hurting both Fox and Pichu. Despite this, Pichu hasn't experienced the "overshadowed" syndrome like Marth has just yet, as there is a decent handful of players dedicated to him.
Aaaaannddddd that's about it. Overall, this is looking like a really diverse tournament, and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens :>
