Following the second day of the tournament, players in the fifth pool noticed that one of the setups was set to .9x knockback, which allegedly affected players such as Scend, ZD, Vintendo, and MRW.[5]
Trivia
- Less than 4 hours after the tournament's announcement, the tournament reached its entrants cap,[6] locking out several notable players including HugS[7], varun[8], and Switch.[9] The speed at which the entrants cap was reached has since spawned a few jokes in the community. The registration from Riptide reopened on June 4th, 2021, with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate entrant cap increasing to 768, Super Smash Bros. Melee increasing to 512, and Project+ increasing to 256 entrants.[10]
- This tournament is the first offline tournament to have 1,000 entrants in a singles event since Frostbite 2020.
- This tournament marks the worst placement for a number of players in an Ultimate tournament:
- yonni placed 9th in Ultimate, tying the highest solo Steve placement at a national with Jake at InfinityCON Tally 2021.
- This tournament marks the first time a Ganondorf and Jigglypuff player placed in top 64 in a supermajor, with Rickles placing 33rd and BassMage placing 49th, respectively.
- This tournament marks iBDW's first Melee major tournament win.
- This tournament marks MkLeo's first Ultimate major tournament win since picking up Joker as a main where he did not use the character at all.
- This tournament marks the highest placing of a solo Luigi main at a supermajor, with Elegant placing 4th.
- The top 3 players in Ultimate singles (MkLeo, Tweek, and Sparg0) were the same as Smash Ultimate Summit 3 two weeks prior.
