'''Smash Factor 8''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' national tournament that included ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It was held in Puebla, Mexico, from July 26th-28th, 2019. This is currently the largest ''Smash'' tournament ever held in Mexico.
'''Smash Factor 8''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' major tournament that included ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It was held in Puebla, Mexico, from July 26th-28th, 2019. It was the largest ''Smash'' tournament held in Mexico for 3 years until {{Trn|Smash Factor 9}}.
 
==Tournament summary==
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
The ''Ultimate'' singles event was Mexico's first-ever [[major]] event and featured several players from all-around the world. This diversity was best displayed in the event's top 8, which featured players from six different countries: Mexico, USA, France, Netherlands, Japan, and Costa Rica. As such, Smash Factor 8 is tied with {{Trn|Pound 2022}}, {{Trn|Smash Factor 9}}, and {{Trn|King Of Fields 95 3}} as the most diverse top 8 for a major in terms of countries represented. In addition, this is the first major where Costa Rica was represented, and remains {{Sm|Yei}}'s best placement at a major.
 
This event is known for being {{Sm|Maister}}'s breakout major event. Although he had been a well-known player since the end of ''[[Smash 4]]'' and had dominant regional and superregional performances, his major performances in the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]] season were underwhelming, which left him unranked. Conversely, this event saw Maister double-eliminate {{Sm|Abadango}} and {{Sm|Glutonny}}, only losing to {{Sm|MkLeo}} twice, to ultimately place 3rd, at that time the best Mr. Game & Watch performance at a major. Alongside Maister, {{Sm|Regi Shikimi}} also placed top 8 with Mr. Game & Watch, an impressive feat at that time as Mr. Game & Watch was considered a far weaker character back then. This event not only marked Maister's meteoric rise in the metagame, with subsequent strong major placements proving this performance was not a fluke, but also began a reversal on Mr. Game & Watch's viability in ''Ultimate''.
 
In addition, this tournament is also known for breaking {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s three-year streak of winning ever Smash Factor he attended, as he lost to {{Sm|Marss}} 3-2 in Winner's Finals and 3-1 in Grand Finals. However, MkLeo's streak at making top 2 at every Smash Factor since {{Trn|Smash Factor 3}} remained.
 
===Other ''Smash'' games===
''Melee'' followed a similar pattern to ''Ultimate'', in which the singles events were won by American players while the doubles events were won by Mexican players, with one of them being named "Javi". This was the second Smash Factor in a row where the singles events for both games were won by Americans.
