'''Riptide 2023''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' superregional held in Sandusky, Ohio, from September 8th-10th, 2023.

==Tournament summary==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''===
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
In a similar vein to its previous iteration, ''Ultimate'' singles had a large entrants count but only a handful of top 100 players, with only four of the [[LumiRank Mid-Year 2023|most recent ranking's top 50 players]] in attendance and only one -- {{Sm|MuteAce}} -- being in the top 20. However due to the restructuring of the [[LumiRank 2023]]'s methodology, the tournament was only ranked as a national on the LumiRank's TTS. This ranking stirred up controversy on [[Twitter]]; some players believed the high entrants count was suffice to consider the tournament a major, while other players pointed out how the entrants number was misleading due to the lack of top-level talent in attendance. 

Several notable upsets took place on the first day of singles, including three players seeded in the top 8: #18 seed {{Sm|ATATA}} upset #2 seed {{Sm|ApolloKage}} 3-1 (upset factor 7), #36 seed {{Sm|Sonido}} upset #4 seed {{Sm|Chase}} 3-2 (upset factor 7), and #74 seed {{Sm|HammerBro}} upset #7 seed {{Sm|Goblin}} 3-2 (upset factor 7). In addition, #20 seed {{Sm|Skar}} fell to #109 seed {{Sm|Lagiakai}} 2-1 (upset factor 5) and #212 seed {{Sm|ADDICT}} 2-0 (upset factor 7) to place 129th.

The second day of singles saw strong runs from both #16 seed {{Sm|Doorstop}} and #19 seed {{Sm|omega}}. After falling to MuteAce, Doorstop defeated Chase 3-2 (upset factor 4) and #6 seed {{Sm|Lima}} 3-2 (upset factor 3) to place 5th. Similarly, omega defeated Lima 3-1 (upset factor 3) and #10 seed 3-1 {{Sm|IcyMist}} before falling to #5 seed {{Sm|Aaron|p=Florida}} 1-3 and #1 seed {{Sm|MuteAce}} 0-3 to place 3rd. Conversely, ApolloKage fell to #8 seed {{Sm|LeoN}} 1-3 (upset factor 4) to place 9th.

Top 8 saw MuteAce fall to Aaron 2-3 (upset factor 4). However in Loser's bracket MuteAce won every single game he played, including 3-0ing Aaron in both sets of Grand Finals, to win the event.
