*This tournament stands as {{Sm|ESAM}}'s worst placement at an ''Ultimate'' tournament, tying {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}} with a 65th place finish.

*{{Sm|Taj}}'s final placement of 33rd marks the highest placement of a solo {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} player at a post-[[Project Slippi]] era major/supermajor ''Melee'' tournament.
