Smash Factor 8 was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major tournament that included Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. It was held in Puebla, Mexico, from July 26th-28th, 2019. It was the largest Smash tournament held in Mexico for 3 years until Smash Factor 9.

Tournament summary[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The Ultimate singles event was Mexico's first-ever major event and featured several players from all-around the world. This diversity was best displayed in the event's top 8, which featured players from six different countries: Mexico, USA, France, Netherlands, Japan, and Costa Rica. As such, Smash Factor 8 is tied with Pound 2022, Smash Factor 9, and King Of Fields 95 3 as the most diverse top 8 for a major in terms of countries represented. In addition, this is the first major where Costa Rica was represented, and remains Yei's best placement at a major.

This event is known for being Maister's breakout major event. Although he had been a well-known player since the end of Smash 4 and had dominant regional and superregional performances, his major performances in the Spring 2019 PGRU season were underwhelming, which left him unranked. Conversely, this event saw Maister double-eliminate Abadango and Glutonny, only losing to MkLeo twice, to ultimately place 3rd, at that time the best Mr. Game & Watch performance at a major. Alongside Maister, Regi Shikimi also placed top 8 with Mr. Game & Watch, an impressive feat at that time as Mr. Game & Watch was considered a far weaker character back then. This event not only marked Maister's meteoric rise in the metagame, with subsequent strong major placements proving this performance was not a fluke, but also began a reversal on Mr. Game & Watch's viability in Ultimate.

In addition, this tournament is also known for breaking MkLeo's three-year streak of winning ever Smash Factor he attended, as he lost to Marss 3-2 in Winner's Finals and 3-1 in Grand Finals. However, MkLeo's streak at making top 2 at every Smash Factor since Smash Factor 3 remained.

Other Smash games[edit]

Melee followed a similar pattern to Ultimate, in which the singles events were won by American players while the doubles events were won by Mexican players, with one of them being named "Javi". This was the second Smash Factor in a row where the singles events for both games were won by Americans.
