The incident occurred after winner Shuto “Shuton” Moriya won EVO Japan’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate singles competition, with the pro player accepting the golden Smash Bros. Pro controller from the series’ creator Masahiro Sakurai. After being handed the controller and posing with it, Shuton handed it to someone offstage, with it then falling out of its box and onto the floor.
EVO Japan attendees gasped as Shuton watched EVO Japan staff pick the controller back up, though it didn’t make its way back on stage after being dropped. It’s unclear if the prize managed to survive its fall, though Shuton didn’t seem too perturbed by the ordeal.
