GENESIS 8 was the largest offline ''Melee'' tournament by entrants since {{Trn|GENESIS 4}} in January 2017, and the largest offline ''Ultimate'' tournament by entrants since {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}} in August 2019.
==Summary of events==
===''Melee''===
GENESIS 8 became most well-known for {{Sm|Jmook}}'s breakout run all the way to 2nd place; seeded 21st and fairly unknown on the world stage, Jmook tore through winners' bracket and defeated {{Sm|Plup}}, {{Sm|LloD}}, {{Sm|n0ne}}, and {{Sm|iBDW}}, only losing to champion {{Sm|Zain}} in winners' and grand finals. Jmook's run was seen as arguably solo Sheik's best tournament performance ever at the time, made more impressive by his victories over Plup and iBDW, two players with historically dominant records over Sheik players. Jmook's run is often regarded as the greatest breakout performance in ''Melee'' history, due to the fact that he had never ranked top 100 on a ''Melee'' global power ranking prior.
 
{{Sm|Mang0}} was famously upset by {{Sm|Fizzwiggle}} outside of top 64, before being eliminated by {{Sm|Hungrybox}} for 9th, his lowest ever placing at a GENESIS tournament. With Hungrybox's 5th placing, this was the first open bracket supermajor for ''Melee'' since {{Trn|Viva La Smashtaclysm}} (nearly 15 years prior) to not have any of the Five Gods in grand finals.
 
===''Ultimate''===
The top 3 for ''Ultimate'' were the same players as the ones in {{Trn|Delfino Maza RETA 2022}} (MkLeo, Glutonny and Sparg0) approximately two weeks prior. This tournament also stands as {{Sm|Tweek}}'s worst placement at an ''Ultimate'' tournament, tying {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}} with a 33rd place finish.
 
Due to the venue having a hard cutoff at 10:00 p.m. before paying staff for overtime, the ''Ultimate'' doubles Grand Finals reset was played offstream.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/boba_ck/status/1515191517622640646|title=10:00 hard cutoff}}</ref>

*{{Sm|raoul}} flew from France to San Francisco, California on January 14th, 2022 to arrive early before the tournament's original dates of January 28th-30th, 2022. After his flight landed, he learned the tournament had been postponed earlier that day.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/FictionIRL/status/1482574141358149635|title=raoul stuck in the United States}}</ref>

*This is the largest offline ''Melee'' tournament by entrants since {{Trn|GENESIS 4}} in January 2017, and the largest offline ''Ultimate'' tournament by entrants since {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}} in August 2019.
*Due to the venue having a hard cutoff at 10:00 p.m. before paying staff for overtime, the ''Ultimate'' doubles Grand Finals reset was played offstream.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/boba_ck/status/1515191517622640646|title=10:00 hard cutoff}}</ref>
*This tournament stands as {{Sm|Tweek}}'s worst placement at an Ultimate tournament, tying {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash 5}} with a 33rd place finish.
*This is the first major ''Melee'' tournament to have only one [[spacie]] player in Top 8 ({{Sm|iBDW}} with {{SSBM|Fox}}) since {{Trn|MELEE-FC3}} ({{Sm|Dave}} with {{SSBM|Falco}}) almost 17 years prior.
*This is the first major ''Melee'' tournament to have only one [[spacie]] player in Top 8 ({{Sm|iBDW}} with {{SSBM|Fox}}) since {{Trn|MELEE-FC3}} ({{Sm|Dave}} with {{SSBM|Falco}}) almost 17 years prior.
*Although {{Sm|AndresFn}} and {{Sm|Vendetta}}'s exhibition FT5 was for the symbolic title of best [[shoto]] player in ''Ultimate'', both finished 97th in bracket and were significantly outplaced by {{Sm|Ikan}}, who used only {{SSBU|Ryu}} on route to a 9th place finish. This spawned numerous jokes (in which both players took part) about Ikan being the one true shoto master.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/AndresFnSsb/status/1515551231569063945|title=Ikan.}}</ref>
**Both Top 8s interestingly had two {{SSBM|Peach}} players; MELEE-FC3 had {{Sm|Sastopher}} and {{Sm|KrazyJones}}, while GENESIS 8 had {{Sm|lloD}} and {{Sm|Kalamazhu}}.
*Prior to {{Sm|Sparg0}} vs. {{Sm|Zomba}} in Top 8 of ''Ultimate'', a video was played announcing Sparg0's sponsorship by {{Team|FaZe Clan}}, with Sparg0 subsequently removing his hoodie to reveal a FaZe jersey.
**Standing the test of time, {{Sm|ChuDat}} and {{Sm|Drephen}} were also in attendance for both tournaments.
*{{Sm|n0ne}}'s winner's semifinals set with {{Sm|Jmook}} marked the lowest seed combination (17th and 21st seeds, respectively) for a Top 8 set at a ''Melee'' supermajor.
*Although {{Sm|AndresFn}} and {{Sm|Vendetta}}'s exhibition FT5 was for the symbolic title of best [[shoto]] player in ''Ultimate'', both finished 97th in bracket and were significantly outplaced by {{Sm|Ikan}}, who used only {{SSBU|Ryu}} on route to a 9th place finish. This spawned numerous jokes (in which both players took part) about Ikan being the one true shoto master.<ref>https://twitter.com/AndresFnSsb/status/1515551231569063945</ref>
*This is the first GENESIS tournament where {{Sm|Mango}} did not place in Top 8, having been sent to loser's bracket before Top 64 by {{Sm|Fizzwiggle}} before being eliminated from the tournament by {{Sm|Hungrybox}} for 9th place.
*This is the first tournament that {{Sm|Lord}} has attended since [[EVO 2016]].
