Orbitar was a biweekly tournament series run by Cyrrona held in Washington State. The local hosts tournaments for Ultimate and previously hosted tournaments for Smash 4 until the former game's release. Through 2019 it was one of the largest locals in the United States, regularly reaching their maximum capacity of 160 entrants and pulling attendance from as distant as Oregon. It is additionally one of the longest-lasting Smash tournaments in the state, having begun from as far back as 2015, eventually moving to GameWorks Seattle shortly thereafter.
Through the COVID-19 pandemic, Orbitar was postponed with no online alternative run by the same team. It resumed activity on September 17th, 2021 with Orbitar 87 and a temporary cap of 64 players. After Orbitar 92, GameWorks Seattle closed its doors, and the tournament series relocated to the Marriott Hotel in downtown Seattle.[1] After underwhelming attendance caused by an abundance of other locals and regionals in the greater area, Orbitar announced that Orbitar 100: The Final Frontier would be the final iteration of the tournament series.[2]

Trivia[edit]
- Just as Little Big House precedes The Big House, Orbitar is the official "pre-local" of Port Priority. Dabuz is the only player in any Smash title to win both Port Priority and the Orbitar before it.
- During the Smash 4 era, Cyrrona regularly hosted side brackets at Orbitar, including:
- Doubles
- Triples
- Stamina Mode
- Smash Balls
- Amiibo teams
- B& Bracket, a singles bracket in which players could each prohibit a character from being chosen
- Super Stage Odyssey, a singles bracket with stage hazards enabled and stages like Kalos Pokemon League, Pirate Ship, Mario Maker, and more included
- Duck Hunter, a singles bracket in which players raced to KO a CPU
Side brackets were eventually discarded in 2018 due to time constraints.
- GameWorks Seattle previously had a 10:00 PM curfew for guests 18 and under, meaning that any minors still in bracket were supposed to be removed from the venue at that time. When an influx of strong teenage players such as moxi, pokepen, Ludo and JoJoDaHoBo began performing well at Orbitars, said players occasionally had to hide from staff to continue playing. After a five-way pot split due to all but one player still in the tournament being under 18, an agreement was reached to allow minors in the venue area until the tournament ended.
- October 2021 is the only month in which three Orbitars were held.
