| ==Tournament summary==
| |
| Kagaribi 8 was initially ranked as a supermajor, however due to rising cases of [[COVID-19]] in Japan, several top Japanese players, including {{Sm|acola}}, {{Sm|Tea}}, and {{Sm|Kome}}, dropped out of the tournament, demoting the tournament to just a major. It is currently the last tournament in the {{Trn|Kagaribi|series}} series that was not ranked as a supermajor.
| |
| | |
| The tournament is most known for being {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}'s breakout offline event. Prior to this event, Miya was mostly known for being one of the best [[Smashmate]] players who was just beginning to make his mark offline. Entering the tournament as the #24 seed, Miya ran through the entire bracket, upsetting {{Sm|ProtoBanham}} 3-1, {{Sm|Shuton}} 3-2, and {{Sm|Abadango}} twice 3-1 and 3-2 to win the tournament without dropping a set. Miya's run was not only unexpected to players outside of Japan, but also marked {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}'s first-ever major win in ''Ultimate'', a feat that not even {{Sm|Maister}}, the best Mr. Game & Watch player at that time, had done. In addition, this marked the second Kagaribi that was won by a first-time entrant, with {{Sm|acola}} having previously won {{Trn|Kagaribi 7}}.
| |
| | |
| Although overshadowed by Miya's run, Abadango saw arguably his best tournament run since the early metagame. Due to declining performances at tournaments and missing out on top 8 at every major since {{Trn|EGS Cup 3}}, Abadango was seeded 21st, a low seed for a player who was once one of Japan's best players. Despite this, Abadango made several notable upsets, defeating {{Sm|Kameme}} 3-0, {{Sm|Yoshidora}} 3-1, ProtoBanham 3-0, {{Sm|KEN}} 3-2, and {{Sm|Shuton}} 3-2 to ultimately place 2nd, the highest Abadango has placed at a major since his victory at {{Trn|Umebura SP 4}}. Most impressive about this run was that, aside from Yoshidora, all those upsets were performed with {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}, a character that was mostly regarded as barely viable. As a result, Abadango's run marked the best tournament run for a Meta Knight player at an ''Ultimate'' major, while this run and Abadango's later run at {{Trn|VCA 2022}} led to a reassessment on Meta Knight's viability.
