This tournament is best known for finally being {{Sm|Asimo}}'s long-awaited major/supermajor win, especially after he placed second at three majors/supermajors by losing to either {{Sm|acola}} or {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}. As the 6th seed, his path to victory featured him defeating #3 {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}} (Upset Factor 2) and facing off against #1 acola in Grand Finals with acola being on the losers side after he lost to #9 {{Sm|Akakikusu}} (UF 6) prior to top 8. Although the set came close, Asimo was able to defeat acola 3-2 in a last-hit scenario (UF 4), which was only Asimo's second win over acola. Asimo's win at the event marks the first time ever a [[Ryu]] player won a major in any ''Smash'' game. It's also the first major win for a fighting game character main since {{Sm|Riddles}}’ win at {{Trn|Collision 2023}}, one year and a half ago. Conversely, this was the third Japanese major/supermajor where acola placed 2nd, further extending his major win drought. | This tournament is best known for finally being {{Sm|Asimo}}'s long-awaited major/supermajor win, especially after he placed second at three majors/supermajors by losing to either {{Sm|acola}} or {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}.

This event was {{Sm|Maister}}'s final event in his two-month stay in Japan, and was by far the strongest performance of his trip. Not only did he 2-0 or 3-0 everyone in his path aside from a game loss to {{Trn|Maesuma|series}} TO {{Sm|Maedakun}} and his set losses to acola, but he was able to defeat and upset many of Japan's best players | This event was {{Sm|Maister}}'s final event in his two-month stay in Japan, and was by far the strongest performance of his trip.

This event became Maister's first top 4 finish at a supermajor since {{Trn|Collision 2023}} over a year ago. In addition, #10 {{Sm|Yoshidora}} finishing at 5th (which include sending Hurt to loser’s for a upset factor 5) marked his first top 8 at a Japanese supermajor since {{Trn|Kagaribi 11}} almost a year prior. | ||
On the other hand, #5 {{Sm|Doramigi}} and #7 {{Sm|KEN}} both underperformed severely, with Doramigi losing to #28 {{Sm|Fui}} 1-3 (UF 5) and #38 {{Sm|MairudonaH.O}} 2-3 (UF 6) at 33rd and KEN losing to #58 {{Sm|DenKOTA}} 1-2 (UF 6) and #23 {{Sm|Taikei}} 0-3 (UF 3) for 49th (his worst placement since {{Trn|2GG: Kongo Saga}} in December 2019). | On the other hand, #5 {{Sm|Doramigi}} and #7 {{Sm|KEN}} both underperformed severely, with Doramigi losing to #28 {{Sm|Fui}} 1-3 (UF 5) and #38 {{Sm|MairudonaH.O}} 2-3 (UF 6) at 33rd and KEN losing to #58 {{Sm|DenKOTA}} 1-2 (UF 6) and #23 {{Sm|Taikei}} 0-3 (UF 3) for 49th (his worst placement since {{Trn|2GG: Kongo Saga}} in December 2019). |
