The most notable mid-tier placements were from {{Sm|Plup}}, who played solo-Samus the entirety of the tournament, and {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} players {{Sm|Junebug}} and {{Sm|Ckyulmiqnudaetr}}. | |||
Plup expressed on X before the event that he was feeling in the mood to play Samus, and followed through with the claim, easily breaking into top 64 and defeating {{Sm|Khryke}} before being knocked into losers side by {{Sm|Spark}} Afterward, he defeated {{Sm|Mot$}} and upset {{Sm|Jmook}}, marking Jmook's second upset loss to a Samus player after {{Sm|Morsecode762}} at {{Trn|Get On My Level X}}, before he was finally stopped by {{Sm|Hungrybox}} for 9th, marking one of the best runs for solo-Samus at a major in the post-online era. | |||

Aferward, He would defeat {{Sm|Joshman}} 3=0 to advance to winners finals before losing to {{Sm|Mang0}} 3-1 and {{Sm|Cody Schwab}} 3-0. This marked not only the best perfromance of Junebug's Melee career, but the best performance for the character of all time, outplacing {{Sm|Bum}}'s 4th place finish at {{Trn|MLG Long Island 2007}} and solidifying Donkey Kong's status as a top level tournament threat. | |||
