| Not only is Kagaribi 12 one of the largest Smash Ultimate event of all time, it's also one of the most stacked. For Japanese players, only 7 of the [[LumiRank 2023/Japan Top 200|top 50 best players in Japan in 2023]] didn't attend (those being [[Smasher:ProtoBanham|ProtoBanham]], [[Smasher:Jagaimo|Jagaimo]], [[Smasher:Atelier|Atelier]], [[Smasher:HIKARU|HIKARU]], [[Smasher:Sigma|Sigma]], [[Smasher:Senra|Senra]] and [[Smasher:Showers|showers]]). Kagaribi 12 also features some of the best players from NA ({{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Zomba}}, {{Sm|MKBigBoss}}, {{Sm|Maister}}, {{Sm|Big D}}, etc...), including the current best player in NA, {{Sm|Sparg0}}, as well as {{Sm|Glutonny}} for Europe and {{Sm|Kinaji}} for Oceania.<br>
| |
| | |
| A number of significant upsets happened in the early bracket. The only international player who was upset despite being seeded to make top 128 is #26 Big D, as he was double-eliminated by #997 {{Sm|Ubuge}} (UF 10, the largest of the tournament) for 257th, the lowest international placement of the tournament. Additionally, several top Japanese players were sent to loser's very early. #83 [[Smasher:Ezs|Ezs]] lost 0-2 to commentator, [[Jigglypuff (SSBU)|Jigglypuff]] main and #942 [[Smasher:Sean from school|Sean from School]] (upset factor 7), #46 [[Smasher:Omuatsu|Omuatsu]] lost 1-2 to Steve main and #302 [[Smasher:Az|Az]] (upset factor 6), #37 [[Smasher:Eim|Eim]] lost 0-2 to #220 and [[Lucas (SSBU)|Lucas]] main [[Smasher:DenKOTA|DenKOTA]] (UF5) and #30 [[Smasher:Lv.1|Lv.1]] lost 1-2 to [[Luigi (SSBU)|Luigi]] main and #227 [[Smasher:No.8|No.8]] (upset factor 6). Lv.1 managed a 7 sets loser's run to finish 25th, while Ezs finished 193rd (losing to Omuatsu), Omuatsu at 129th (losing to Pac-Man main and #135 [[Smasher:Yoshiko|Yoshiko]] for a upset factor 4) and Eim at 97th (losing to #80 [[Smasher:Nizemamo|Nizemamo]]).<br>
| |
| | |
| In top 256, #25 [[Smasher:Umeki|Umeki]] lost 3-0 to #104 [[Smasher:Navy|Navy]] 0-3(UF 4) and #89 [[Smasher:Eik|Eik]] 1-3 (UF 3) for 97th, his worst placement at a Smash event, while #24 [[Smasher:DIO|DIO]] lost 0-3 to #105 [[Smasher:Leaf (Japan)|Leaf]] (UF 5) and #88 [[Smasher:Kinaji|Kinaji]] 2-3 (UF 4) for 97th, his second worst placement at a Smash event. Likewise, #57 [[Smasher:Huto|Huto]] lost to #72 [[Smasher:Chicken|Chicken]] and [[Lucario (SSBU)|Lucario]] Main and #276 [[Smasher:Haruka.|Haruka]] (UF 5) and #42 [[Smasher:Uame|Uame]] lost to #87 [[Smasher:ElleGo|ElleGo]] and #131 [[Smasher:Nano|Nano]] (UF 4), both finishing at 129th.<br>
| |
| | |
| In top 128, the two first top 8 seeds upsets occurs, as #68 [[Smasher:Lax|Lax]] beat #4 [[Smasher:Zomba|Zomba]] 3-2 for a upset factor 9, the second biggest of the tournament. The other top 8 seed to be upset is #8 [[Smasher:Yoshidora|Yoshidora]], who lost 0-3 to #72 [[Smasher:Chicken|Chicken]] (UF 7). After upsetting Uame, Nano also eliminate #22 [[Smasher:Jogibu|Jogibu]] at 65th (upset factor 6). In top 64, Yoshidora was eliminated at 49th after losing 1-3 to #92 [[Smasher:Kuroponzu|Kuroponzu]] (UF 7), his worst placement since [[Tournament:Kagaribi 6|Kagaribi 6]] in January 2022. #7 [[Smasher:Shuton|Shuton]] was also upset by #26 [[Smasher:TamaPDaifuku|TamaPDaifuku]] (UF 4). Lastly, #2 [[Smasher:Sparg0|Sparg0]], who had won the [[Tournament:Kagaribi 10|previous Kagaribi he attended]], was eliminated at 33rd by #31 [[Smasher:Toriguri|Toriguri]] 2-3 (UF 8) and #44 [[Smasher:Noi|Noi]] 2-3 (UF 9), his worst result since [[Tournament:Super Smash Con 2023|Super Smash Con 2023]] in August 2023. As such, before top 64, only half of the top 8 seeds were not in loser's bracket or eliminated.<br>
| |
| | |
| After top 64, upsets decreased in numbers, but all remaining international players were eliminated. #14 [[Smasher:MkLeo|MkLeo]] lost in winners to #19 [[Smasher:Snow|Snow]] (which include two reverse 3-stock by Snow) 1-3 and in losers to #41 [[Smasher:Yamanaction|Yamanaction]] (UF 3) 1-3, eliminated at 25th. Zomba was eliminated in Shuton loser's run 2-3 for 25th and #10 [[Smasher:Maister|Maister]], placing 13th, is the highest placed North American player of the tournament, being beaten by TamaPDaifuku 2-3 (UF 3) and #17 [[Smasher:Doramigi|Doramigi]] 2-3. 4 other international players matched or outplaced their seed. #33 [[Smasher:MKBigBoss|MkBigBoss]] lost to Acola and Lv.1 for 33rd, #35 [[Smasher:BassMage|BassMage]] lost to Miya and Yamanaction for 33rd, all in 1-3, #62 [[Smasher:Goblin|Goblin]] lost to Miya 1-3 and Chicken 0-3 for 25th and #50 [[Smasher:Jahzz0|Jahzz0]] lost to Raru 0-3 and Kaninabe 2-3 for 25th. Lastly, #6 [[Smasher:Glutonny|Glutonny]] was eliminated at 9th as the highest placing international player, being send to losers by #11 [[Smasher:Asimo|Asimo]] 3-0 and losing the loser's top 8 qualifier to #9 [[Smasher:KEN|KEN]] 2-3.<br>
| |
| | |
| Outside of KEN, the other players to enter top 8 through loser's side are Shuton (after a long loser's run defeating [[Smasher:Gackt|Gackt]], Zomba, [[Smasher:Navy|Navy]], [[Smasher:Yaura|Yaura]] and Asimo), #12 [[Smasher:Tea|Tea]] (beating [[Smasher:Sssr|sssr]], [[Smasher:Kaninabe|Kaninabe]], [[Smasher:Akakikusu|Akakikusu]] and [[Smasher:Raru|Raru]]) and #13 [[Smasher:Zackray|Zackray]] (beating [[Smasher:Shirayuki|Shirayuki]], [[Smasher:M0tsunabE|M0tsunabE]], Akakikusu and Doramigi). On the other side, #1 Acola reached winner's semi-finals rather easily (but going game 5 against Pit main [[Smasher:Midorun|Midorun]] and Yaura), similar to #3 [[Smasher:Miya (Honshu)|Miya]], #5 [[Smasher:Hurt|Hurt]] and TamaPDaifuku, having all dropped only 3 games. As such, only half of the top 8 seeds made into the top 8.<br>
| |
| | |
| Despite not entering top 8, both Akakikusu, Doramigi and [[Smasher:Carmelo|Carmelo]] greatly outplaced their seed. #17 Doramigi finished 9th, beating not only Maister but also [[Smasher:Taikei|Taikei]], [[Smasher:Neo (Japan)|Neo]], Lv.1 and Toriguri, while #29 Akakikusu beat [[Smasher:Rizeasu|Rizeasu]], [[Smasher:Lax|Lax]] and [[Smasher:Yamanaction|Yamanaction]] en route to a 13th place finish. Lastly, #49 Carmelo placed 17th with wins over Nizemamo, Taikei, [[Smasher:Alice|alice]] and [[Smasher:Takera|Takera]].<br>
| |
| | |
| In top 8, both winners semi-finals (Acola vs Hurt and Miya and TamaPDaifuku) went to game 5, but Miya and Hurt came victorious, with Hurt's victory being a upset factor 4. Hurt became the first player not named Miya to defeat Acola since [[Smasher:Sonix|Sonix]] and Sparg0 at [[Tournament:Watch The Throne|Watch the Throne]] in December 2023. In loser's, KEN was swiftly 3-0'd by Zackray's [[Pit (SSBU)|Pit]], whereas Tea and Shuton went to game 5, with Tea finally winning. Dropping to the loser's, Acola defeats Tea 3-1, Zackray 3-0 (who had ended TamaP's run at 5th) before losing the runback against Hurt in loser's finals. In Grand Finals, Miya manage to reverse 3-0 Hurt, especially in game 3 where Miya combo'ed a 6 [[Judge|Judge]] into a 9, killing Hurt at only 11%, winning his second P Tier in 2024 after [[Tournament:KOWLOON 9 with Sumabato|Kowloon with Sumabato]]. No international players in top 8 and especially Zomba et Sparg0 underperformances at Kagaribi 12 further proved Japan's dominance over the NA playerbase. Several top NA players, such as [[Smasher:Dabuz|Dabuz]], discuss after the tournament [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piwAj8hFilQabout the reason of the fall of the NA scene compared to Japan].
