Genesis 4, the team behind some of the largest Smash Bros Wii U events, have come under controversy recently due to an incident that took place in the finals of their $8,000 Prize Tournament.

In their last game, it was noticed that the damage ratio percentage changed from the competition standard of 1.0x to 0.9x.

For those unaware, damage ratio percentage determines the knockback range and for it to be changed at such a time has caused shockwaves with organizers blaming the players, and players blaming the organization with no end in sight.

This has obviously caused some uproar in the community. What do you think about the change?

This was initially reported by Kotaku.
