It was the first tournament in the series to have the "S Factor" name, with the name change being the result of the [[Nintendo Community Tournament Guidelines]]. This tournament was notable for its large prize pool, being at 1,000,000 MXN total with half of it going to ''Ultimate'', and its free entrants fee despite the large prize pool.

{{incomplete|Hax controversy should at least be mentioned}}
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
At 816 entrants, this is currently the largest singles ''Smash'' event in Mexico.
This event saw a cinderella run from #51 {{Sm|Many}}, who not only outplaced his seed significantly, but was also able to upset several notable players, including #14 seed {{Sm|MuteAce}} 3-2 (upset factor 4), #17 seed {{Sm|Skyjay}} 3-1, and #11 seed {{Sm|MkLeo}} (upset factor 5) to make top 8, his first-ever top 8 at a major-level tournament.
On the other hand, the event saw a slew of upsets, leading many international players to underperform. MuteAce was eventually eliminated at 49th after losing 2-3 to #59 seed {{Sm|Duplex}} (upset factor 4), his worst placement of the season. Other international players who underperformed include #6 seed {{Sm|Zomba}}, who lost to #11 seed MkLeo 0-3 and #21 seed {{Sm|Big D}} 2-3 (upset factor 4) to place 17th;  #7 seed {{Sm|Asimo}}, who lost to #26 seed {{Sm|Guilheww}} 1-3 (upset factor 4) in Winner's to ultimately place 13th; #8 seed {{Sm|Glutonny}}, who lost to #25 seed {{Sm|Capitancito}} 0-3 and #30 seed {{Sm|AndresFn}} 0-3 (both upset factor 4) to place 25th; #12 seed {{Sm|Lima}}, who lost to #32 seed {{Sm|SuperDog}} 0-3 (upset factor 3) in Loser's to place 17th; and #13 seed {{Sm|Sisqui}}, who lost to #52 seed {{Sm|Nair^}} 2-3 (upset factor 4) in Winner's to ultimately place 25th. In addition, #1 seed {{Sm|Sparg0}} was upset by #17 seed {{Sm|Cosmos}} 2-3 (upset factor 8) and #2 seed {{Sm|Sonix}} lost to #15 seed {{Sm|ShinyMark}} (upset factor 6), however both were able to make it into top 8 on the Loser's side, with Sparg0 defeating MkLeo, tying up their record for the season. All-in-all, only one top 8 seed entered top 8 in Winner's Finals: #5 seed {{Sm|SHADIC}}. Finally, this tournament marked the first time a {{SSBU|Kirby}} player placed top 16 at a major/supermajor, with Guilheww ultimately placing 13th, as well as the first time Cosmos made top 8 at a major since {{Sm|KOWLOON 5}}.
In top 8, #9 seed {{Sm|Gackt}} defeated SHADIC to make Winner's Finals, the third time he had made it into such a position at a major, while ShinyMark easily cleaned up Many 3-0 to meet Gackt in Winner's Finals, where he defeated him 3-0 to move on to Grand Finals. On the Loser's side, SHADIC defeated Sparg0 for the first time 3-2, which included a high-percent three-stock comeback in game 4, but lost against Sonix 2-3 in their runback. Sonix then ran though Gackt to meet ShinyMark in Grand Finals and was able to reset the bracket 3-1, however ShinyMark was able to prevail and defeat Sonix 3-2, cursing Sonix with yet another 2nd-place finish at a major. ShinyMark became the first Pikachu player since {{Sm|ESAM}} to win a major and supermajor, breaking the "pre-local" curse along the way as he also won the S Factor pre-local, and was the second of three new major winners in the final weekend of the [[LumiRank 2024.1]] season.
