It was held at the Beyond the Summit's Studio in Los Angeles, California, and was closed to the general public. | ||

At $155,372, it also set the record for the largest prize pool of any event in ''Smash'' history, a record that it held for a month. {{Sm|Leffen}} and {{Sm|aMSa}} were both automatically invited to the event as international competitors who had been unable to compete in North American online events; however, Leffen was unable to attend due to visa issues. {{Sm|Pipsqueak}} had also qualified for the event, but had to withdraw the day before the start of competition due to travel difficulties; he was then given an automatic invite to {{Trn|Smash Summit 12}}. | ||
{{Sm|Mango}} took first place at the event, defeating {{Sm|moky}}, {{Sm|n0ne}}, {{Sm|iBDW}}, {{Sm|Plup}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, and {{Sm|Zain}} twice en route to his first Summit championship. The two-set, ten-game grand finals was immediately considered an all-time classic, as Mango clawed back from an 0-2 deficit in the first set and defeated Zain's Marth using Fox in back-to-back games on {{SSBM|Final Destination}}, a matchup widely considered to be unfavorable for Fox. | {{Sm|Mango}} took first place at the event, defeating {{Sm|moky}}, {{Sm|n0ne}}, {{Sm|iBDW}}, {{Sm|Plup}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, and {{Sm|Zain}} twice en route to his first Summit championship.

Hungrybox also had an impressive showing at the event; although his online placements had been lackluster, he defeated aMSa and iBDW to reach winners' finals before losing to Zain and Mango and finishing the event in 3rd place. | ||
