The ''Melee'' tournament saw an abundance of mid-tier players outside of {{Sm|Axe}} (who placed 9th) and {{Sm|aMSa}} (who did not attend) placing in top 64, with breakout performances from {{Sm|glock in my toyota}} playing {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{Sm|Daniel | The ''Melee'' tournament saw an abundance of mid-tier players outside of {{Sm|Axe}} (who placed 9th) and {{Sm|aMSa}} (who did not attend) placing in top 64, with breakout performances from {{Sm|glock in my toyota}} playing {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{Sm|Daniel}} playing {{SSBM|Yoshi}}, and {{Sm|JChu}} playing {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, while [[Virginia]] hidden boss {{Sm|RapMonster}} placed 25th with {{SSBM|Luigi}}, losing to Axe in winners and {{Sm|null}} in losers in two close game 5 sets. | ||
The most notable placements from non-top tier characters were from {{Sm|Plup}}, who played solo Samus the entirety of the tournament, and {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} players {{Sm|Junebug}} and {{Sm|ckyulmiqnudaetr}}. Plup expressed on [[Twitter]] before the event that he was feeling in the mood to play Samus, just like he had done [[Tournament:Super Smash Con 2019|the last time he entered the series]] in 2019. Following through with the post, he easily broke into top 64 and defeated {{Sm|Khryke}} before being knocked into losers side by {{Sm|Spark}}. Afterward, he defeated {{Sm|Mot$}} and upset {{Sm|Jmook}}, marking Jmook's second upset loss to a Samus player after {{Sm|Morsecode762}} at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2023}} the previous year, before he was finally stopped by {{Sm|Hungrybox}} for 9th, marking one of the best runs for solo-Samus at a major in the post-netplay era. | The most notable placements from non-top tier characters were from {{Sm|Plup}}, who played solo Samus the entirety of the tournament, and {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} players {{Sm|Junebug}} and {{Sm|ckyulmiqnudaetr}}.

Although it is the smallest ''Ultimate'' singles event in the series, Supernova 2024 is currently the largest ''Ultimate'' tournament of the year by entrants and the second-largest ''Ultimate'' tournament of the year by top player attendance behind {{Trn|Kagaribi 12}}, with all of the top 10 from the [[LumiRank 2024.1]] season attending as well as the vast majority of the top 20, aside from {{Sm|Doramigi}}, {{Sm|Yaura}} (who was on hiatus) | Although it is the smallest ''Ultimate'' singles event in the series, Supernova 2024 is currently the largest ''Ultimate'' tournament of the year by entrants and the second-largest ''Ultimate'' tournament of the year by top player attendance behind {{Trn|Kagaribi 12}}, with all of the top 10 from the [[LumiRank 2024.1]] season attending as well as the vast majority of the top 20, aside from {{Sm|Doramigi}}, {{Sm|Yaura}} (who was on hiatus) and {{Sm|Zackray}}. In addition, the event featured many other international talent, including several Japanese players who were outside the top 20 such as {{Sm|Gackt}}, {{Sm|Yoshidora}} and {{Sm|KEN}}, as well as Europe's new ranked #1 player on the [[European Ultimate Power Rankings]], {{Sm|crêpe salée}}. {{Sm|ShinyMark}} was also planning on attending, but had to DQ a few days before the event due to having exams. | ||
Several notable upsets took place during Phase 1, most notably #62 seed {{Sm|Candle}} losing to #574 seed {{Sm|LemonShark}} 1-2 (upset factor 7), #46 seed {{Sm|MFA}} losing to #467 seed {{Sm|Swag Master}} 1-2 (upset factor 7), and #92 seed {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} losing to #421 seed {{Sm|Naytro}} 1-2 (upset factor 5). Phase 2 saw the biggest upset of the early rounds, with the biggest being #242 seed {{Sm|Izaiah}} defeating #15 seed {{Sm|MuteAce}} 2-0 (upset factor 8). In addition, #40 seed {{Sm|Kurama}}, in his first event back from his short hiatus, lost to #89 seed {{Sm|GuyGuy}} 2-1 and #104 seed {{Sm|Paras}} 1-2 to place 129th, surpassing {{Trn|GENESIS X}} as his worst offline placement. Additionally, MuteAce became the lowest placing top 20 seed after being eliminated by #39 seed {{Sm|Monte}} 2-3 for 65th, his worst offline placement of the entire year, and {{Sm|Tea}} had one of his worst offline placements of the entire year, losing to #17 seed {{Sm|Onin}} 3-0 before being eliminated by #41 seed {{Sm|BeastModePaul}} in another 3-0, placing 33rd and tying {{Trn|Kowloon 12 with Kagaribi}} as his worst offline placement. | Several notable upsets took place during Phase 1, most notably #62 seed {{Sm|Candle}} losing to #574 seed {{Sm|LemonShark}} 1-2 (upset factor 7), #46 seed {{Sm|MFA}} losing to #467 seed {{Sm|Swag Master}} 1-2 (upset factor 7), and #92 seed {{Sm|Dark Wizzy}} losing to #421 seed {{Sm|Naytro}} 1-2 (upset factor 5).

Despite falling into Losers early, both acola and Sonix saw strong Losers run to make top 8, with acola notably going game 5 against {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|Marss}} to enter top 8 and Sonix cruising through his bracket, only going game 5 against Miya, to make top 8. On the winner's side, Raru, SHADIC, and Sparg0 had little trouble entering top 8; however, Tweek lost to Hurt before being eliminated by Sonix for 9th. With {{Sm|Asimo}} and {{Sm|Yoshidora}} entering the top 8 through the Loser's side, the top 8 saw 5 players from Japan and 3 players from North America. | Despite falling into Losers early, both acola and Sonix saw strong Losers run to make top 8, with acola notably going game 5 against {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|Marss}} to enter top 8 and Sonix cruising through his bracket, only going game 5 against Miya, to make top 8.

Despite having a majority in the top 8, Japan ultimately placed lower than all the North American players. This was mostly due to Sonix's losers run, where he eliminated acola 3-0, Raru 3-0, and Asimo 3-1. In addition, Asimo himself eliminated the other two Japanese players, defeating Yoshidora in a close game 5 set and defeating Hurt 3-1. Hurt fell into losers after losing to Sparg0 3-1, and Sparg0 entered Grand Finals after defeating SHADIC 3-0, while Sonix then defeated SHADIC 3-0 to meet Sparg0 in Grand Finals, the first offline {{Trn|Coinbox}} Grand Finals of the year. Although Sonix easily defeated Sparg0's {{SSBU|Aegis}} in the first game, Sparg0 surprised audiences by pulling out {{SSBU|Roy}}, and decisively defeated Sonix 3-2, winning his first P-tier of the year and marking his best tournament win of his career up to that point. | Despite having a majority in the top 8, Japan ultimately placed lower than all the North American players, SHADIC, Sonix and Sparg0.

With Sparg0's victory, his wins over players who had just defeated him in their most recent sets, and Sparg0 dropping only two games prior to Grand Finals, many players considered this event Sparg0's "revenge tour", especially in-light of his 9th-place ranking on the LumiRank 2024.1 and his underperformance at the [[Tournament:Super Smash Con 2023|previous Supernova event]]. In addition, although Sonix's "second-place curse" remained, many players lauded Sonix's run as one of the best losers run in ''Ultimate'', as he took out half of the previous season's top 10 as well as two of Japan's best players who were ranked outside the top 10. | With Sparg0's victory, his wins over players who had just defeated him in their most recent sets, and Sparg0 dropping only two games prior to Grand Finals, many players considered this event Sparg0's "revenge tour", especially in-light of his 9th-place ranking on the LumiRank 2024.1 and his underperformance at the [[Tournament:Super Smash Con 2023|previous Supernova event]].
