'''Sumabato SP 53''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' [[Major (SSBU)|major]] held in Daito City, Osaka, [[Kansai (region)|Kansai]] on November 30th, 2024.

==Tournament summary==

This tournament is firstly known for {{Sm|Raki}}'s victory. Not only does it makes Raki the second new major winner [[LumiRank 2024.2|this season]] alongside {{Sm|Asimo}}, it's also the first [[Steve (SSBU)|Steve]] main to win a major outside of {{Sm|Acola}} since {{Sm|Onin}} at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2022}} in August 2022, more than 2 years ago. Since he also used his [[Kazuya (SSBU)|Kazuya]] to win crucial sets, it's also the first Kazuya player to win a major since {{Sm|Riddles}} at {{Trn|Collision 2023}}, around a year and a half ago. After making his first major top 8 at [[Tournament:Sumabato SP 52|the previous Sumabato]], #13 seed Raki made his first upset by defeating #4 seed {{Sm|Lv.1}} 3-2 (Upset Factor 4). He entered top 8 winner side after winning his set versus #21 seed {{Sm|33Peranbox}} 3-0. In winner semifinals, he swiftly defeated #16 seed {{Sm|Taikei}} 3-0. He then made his most impressive upset in winner's finals where he won the set against #2 {{Sm|Doramigi}} 3-1 (UF 6). Lastly, he rematched Taikei's [[Sonic (SSBU)|Sonic]] in grand finals, and 3-0'd him again, including a three stock in the last game.<br>

But outside of Raki's run, this tournament is famous for it's important number of upsets, even compared to others Japanese majors, as only 2 of the top 8 seeds made top 8, and none of them entered grand finals. #2 Doramigi is the only one to enter top 8 on winner side, but lost to Raki and Taikei  1-3 (UF 6) for 3rd. #8 Navy continued his streak of good performances (being the only top 8 seed to outplaced his seed), as he lost in winner's quarters and loser's semi-finals to Taikei, both in game 5 sets, for 4th. Similar to Raki, Taikei made the best non-{{Sm|Sonix}} Sonic performance since {{Sm|KEN}}'s 7th place at {{trn|Kagaribi 12}} in May 2024. He made one of the biggest upset of the tournament by defeating the first seed {{Sm|Raru}} 3-2 (UF 7), as well as upsetting Navy twice, #11 seed Rarikkusu 3-0 and lastly Doramigi to made grand finals loser's side against Raki. Therefore, it's the first time that the two grand finalists of a major weren't top 8 seeds since {{Trn|Crown the Third}} in June 2023. <br>

The other non-top 8 seeds to enter top 8 are #11 seed Rarikkusu, who finished 5th after upsetting both Raru (UF 6) and #3 seed {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}} (UF 4) in 3-1's, losing to #22 seed {{Sm|Tsuna}} 1-3 and Taikei, #30 seed {{Sm|Shion|p=Kansai}}, who made his first major top 8 after scoring two upsets over Snow (UF 7) and #14 seed {{Sm|Gorioka}}, losing to Tsuna and Rarikkusu in game 5 sets for 7th, and lastly #77 seed {{Sm|Toatti}}, a [[Sora (SSBU)|Sora]] main who made the longest loser's run of the tournament. After losing his second set to #52 {{Sm|Mokumoku}} 1-2, he won 9 sets in a row, upsetting #24 {{Sm|MairudonaH.O}} (UF 4), Gorioka (UF 5) and lastly 33Peranbox (UF 4), all in 3-1, before losing to Navy 1-3 to reach 7th place, the first Sora main to made top 8 at a major in Japan since {{Sm|Kameme}}'s 4th place at {{Trn|Umebura SP 10}}, almost a year ago. He is the lowest seed to reach top 8 at a major since {{Sm|Atreus}} 5th place at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2023}} as the 86th seed.<br>

The 6 top 8 seeds who failed to reach top 8 are #1 seed Raru, who lost to Taikei and Rarikkusu for 17th, his worst result since his 25th place at {{Trn|Kowloon 12 with Kagaribi}}, #3 seed Snow, who lost to Shion and Rarikkusu for 13th, #4 seed Lv.1, losing to Raki and #28 seed {{Sm|Furararamen}} 1-3 (UF 6) for 13th, #5 seed {{Sm|Umeki}}, losing sets to Furararamen 2-3 (UF 5) and #13 seed {{Sm|Nyonoknb}} 1-3 for 25th, #6 seed {{Sm|Jogibu}}, losing to #123 seed {{Sm|DEAR}} 1-2 (UF 9, the biggest of the tournament) and #17 seed {{Sm|Yone_pi}} 0-3 (UF 4) for 65th, and lastly #7 seed {{Sm|Karaage}}, losing sets to #23 seed {{Sm|DieGorou}} 0-3 (UF 3) and Navy 0-3 for 9th.<br>

Outside of top 8 seeds, the others top seeds to underperform are #15 seed {{Sm|Fui}}, as he lost his first set of the event against #242 seed {{Sm|Shiomasa}} 1-2 (UF 8), before being eliminated by #44 seed {{Sm|Crete}} 1-3 (UF 3), #17 seed Yone_pi, who lost to #48 seed {{Sm|Avaru}} and #43 seed {{Sm|Rokki}}, both in game 5 sets, #18 seed {{Sm|Kome}}, being defeated by #47 seed {{Sm|Niyae}} and #63 seed {{Sm|LiiMac}} (UF 3), also both in game 5 sets, and all three being eliminated at 49th, and #25 seed {{Sm|Rizeasu}}, losing to #89 seed {{Sm|Lux|p=Japan}} 0-3 (UF 3) and #51 seed {{Sm|CLAW}} 2-3 for 65th.

By placing 9th at this event, Furararamen became the highest-placing {{SSBU|Isabelle}} player at a major up to that point, as well as the first Isabelle player to place single-digits at a major.
