Trivia
- Pipsqueak was the first player announced for both Smash Summit 12 and Smash Summit 13, qualifying for the latter by winning SAME Finale 2021.
- This is the first Melee Smash Summit without Axe or Plup competing, making Mango the only player to participate in every Melee Smash Summit.
- However, the attendance of Tyler Swift maintained the presence of a Pikachu player in every Summit.
- This is the first Smash Summit where every player in attendance was able to win at least one set.
- This is the first Smash Summit to omit a competitor in the official poster (albeit by accident). Near the bottom right corner, the poster mistakenly features DarkGenex (a VIP of the event) instead of Tyler Swift.[4]
- Sora's first two pools sets were delayed from Friday to Saturday due to him feeling food poisoning on Friday morning.[5]
- All three reverse 3-0's of the tournament happened to Leffen. They were done by Wizzrobe, iBDW, and Mango.
- Mango and Leffen's set in losers' quarterfinals marks the fourth time Mango has four-stocked Leffen on a unique stage in tournament, due to Mango four-stocking him on Pokémon Stadium game 3.
- Mango has four-stocked Leffen on Fountain of Dreams at Apex 2014, Final Destination at The Big House 4, Dream Land at Get On My Level 2019 and Pokémon Stadium at Smash Summit 12.
