==Trivia==
*This tournament will have the largest singles pot in all of ''Smash'' history and the first to exceed $100,000, beating the previous record from {{Trn|Smash Summit 5}}'s around ~$80,000.<ref>[https://twitter.com/practicaltas/status/1411394011986808836?s=21 The largest prize pool]</ref> It will be the 14th largest prize pool out of any fighting game.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/oee0oi/smash_summit_11s_prize_pool_has_reached_140000_as/h46pfrr/ Largest fighting game prize pools]</ref>
*The vote-in process for Smash Summit 11 achieved a number of firsts in comparison to prior Summits:
**This is the first Summit where the majority of players voted in were [[sponsor]]ed ({{Sm|Aklo}} and {{Sm|Yingling}} being the exceptions at the time of the voting process).
**{{Sm|Hungrybox}} received the most votes for any first round Summit vote-in player in Summit history (around 120,000 votes).
**{{Sm|Wizzrobe}} received the most votes for any player that would ultimately be eliminated from the voting phase (around 138,000 votes).
**{{Sm|Yingling}} received the most votes for any vote-in player in Summit history (around 175,000 votes).
***Yingling's campaign garnered attention due to his underdog status and his lead throughout most of the voting phase. A few notable players, including {{Sm|HugS}} and {{Sm|LSD}}, voiced their support for Yingling,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz5waXcsBU8|title=HugS' video on Yingling}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/LSDSSBM/status/1411805271886864385|title=LSD's Tweet}}</ref> and many other players changed their Twitter profile picture to that of a fish from ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' and their Twitter name to "I am Nicholas Yingling."
*Smash Summit 11 is the first in-person Smash Summit to have no players from Sweden and Europe as a whole compete, as both {{Sm|Leffen}} and {{Sm|Pipsqueak}} encountered travel issues originating from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that prevented them from attending.
