m (Not true. Kurama's run at the Ludwig Smash Invitational tied it in placement, was an overall better run going by wins and was probably a P tier if counted today. Also Dark Wizzy, Kurama and Snow have gotten 2nd at smaller majors before.) Tag: Manual revert |
(I modified the top 64 because Shuton didn't reach winner's quarters.) |

The number of upsets were at the highest in top 64. Lunia continued his breakout run by scoring the biggest upset of the tournament, eliminating #18 {{Sm|Kameme}} at 33rd 3-1 as the 421th seed, for a upset factor 9, also defeating #60 {{Sm|Huto}} 3-1 (UF 6). #8 {{Sm|TamaPDaifuku}} losing to #40 {{Sm|Raki}} 1-3 and #6 {{Sm|Asimo}} losing to #27 {{Sm|alice}} 1-3 (both upset factor 5) are the first top 8 seeds upsets. Lv.1, after being upset early, lost 0-3 to #65 {{Sm|Omuatsu}} (UF 4), placing 49th, his worst result since {{Trn|Kagaribi 10}} one year ago, and #24 {{Sm|Toriguri}} lost 0-3 to #51 {{Sm|Gachipi}} (UF 3), finishing at 33rd. Both #16 Maister and #23 {{Sm|Gackt}} were send to loser's early, as Maister lost 1-3 to #48 {{Sm|Chicken}} and Gackt lost 0-3 to Kome (both UF 3). | The number of upsets were at the highest in top 64.

After top 64, outside of #9 {{Sm|Tea}} (losing to Raki 1-3 in winner's side and #39 {{Sm|Akio}} in loser's, both UF 4, placing 13th), the upsets only concern top 8 seeds. Asimo was eliminated at 25th by #25 {{Sm|Shirayuki}} 1-3 (UF 5), and TamaP at 17th by #15 {{Sm|Akakikusu}} 0-3 (UF 2). | After top 64, outside of #9 {{Sm|Tea}} (losing to Raki 1-3 in winner's side and #39 {{Sm|Akio}} in loser's, both UF 4, placing 13th), the upsets only concern top 8 seeds.

Lastly, #5 {{Sm|Raru}} didn't make into top 8 despite reach winner's quarters, finishing at 9th, as he lost to Snow 2-3 and Akakikusu (both UF 3). As such, only half of the top 8 seeds make into top 8, with Miya, {{Sm|acola}}, and {{Sm|Hurt}} being the only three entering from the winner's side. | ||
Conversely, this event was notable for being {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s best supermajor performance in months. After a close encounter with alice, choosing to play the entire set with just {{SSBU|Meta Knight}} and performing a reverse-3 stock in the final game, MkLeo barely lost to Hurt right outside of top 8 but was able to defeat Akio in yet another game 5 set using {{SSBU|Byleth}} in the final two games to enter top 8 from the loser's side, his first P-tier top 8 appearance since he won {{Trn|GENESIS 9}} in January 2023. He then decisively defeated {{Sm|Doramigi}} in a game 5 set with Meta Knight before being reverse 3-0'd by acola. With his 5th-place finish and his wins over several top players, including a player who many considered as a contender for the top 10 at that time, MkLeo's performance marks his best performance at a major since he won {{Trn|King Con}} back in February. In addition, after losing to Kome, Zackray went on a 7-set loser's run, which includes eliminating Akakikusu and Hurt, before losing to acola to place 4th. | Conversely, this event was notable for being {{Sm|MkLeo}}'s best supermajor performance in months.
