(From Discord: "Nintendo of Japan" is only unofficially and uncommonly used to differentiate it from Nintendo of other regions. Simply "Nintendo" would indeed be the right term.) |

According to a post made by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] on the official Japanese ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' website, lots of people entered the tournament, but only the top 32 made it into the quarterfinals where they were then split up into 8 groups of 4 players each. The groups played a 2-minute free-for-all match, with 8 players who won 1st place in their respective group advancing into the semi-finals. The rules used during the semi-finals were the same as in the quarterfinals, with the 8 players being split into 4 groups. The 4 winners of the semi-finals advanced into the finals. Sakurai remarks that a "brilliant" player by the name of Oikawa, who was endorsed by Asarido, was eliminated here. The top 2 players moved on. The grand finals was between Yuta Suzuki and Yasuhito Murofushi, both 16 years old at the time. The match was set to [[Stock]] mode instead of the usual [[Time]] mode. In the end, Murofushi took the win using [[Mario (SSBM)|Mario]]. | According to a post made by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] on the official Japanese ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Prior to the grand finals, both Asarido members, Naru Kawamoto and Fumihiro Horiguchi, competed in a quick [[Coin Battle]]. Kawamoto ended up winning by 8 coins. | Prior to the grand finals, both Asarido members, Naru Kawamoto and Fumihiro Horiguchi, competed in a quick [[Coin Battle]].
