'''Collision 2019''' is an ongoing national ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' tournament set to be held in Fort Lee, New Jersey, from March 16th-17th, 2019. This is the sixteenth entry into the Collision tournament series, and the first one for ''Ultimate''.
'''Collision 2019''' was a major ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' [[Major (SSBU)|major]] held in Fort Lee, [[New Jersey]] from March 16th-17th, 2019. It was the sixteenth entry into the Collision tournament series, the first Collision event to be a major, and the first Collision event to feature ''Ultimate''.
 
==Tournament summary==
This event is the most notable case for how flawed the [[Spring 2019 PGRU]]'s methodology was, specifically how the tiers were solely determined by the entrants count. Despite the event featuring enough top-level talent to be considered a major, the event only had 391 entrants, over 200 entrants short of the A-tier cutoff. Ultimately despite clearly not being a regional, the event was only ranked as a C-tier, as it was a mere 9 entrants short of the B-tier cutoff. [[OrionRank]] and retroactive tiering efforts have since acknowledged the event's major status.
 
This event is best known for {{Sm|Frozen}}'s [[cinderella run]]. As the 28th seed, she surprised audiences by having the biggest upsets of the event, including defeating #11 seed {{Sm|Cosmos}} 2-1 (upset factor 5), #4 seed {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} 3-1 (upset factor 6), and, most notably, #1 seed {{Sm|Tweek}} 3-2 (upset factor 8). She ultimately placed 3rd, marking her best ''Ultimate'' tournament run and largely contributing to her 46th-place finish on the Spring 2019 PGRU. In addition, the event is also known for {{Sm|Nairo}}'s incredible loser's run after falling to {{Sm|Marss}} in top 16, defeating Light 3-2 and Tweek 3-1, as well as shutting down Frozen's run at 3rd. Nairo's set against Light was especially infamous, as after going down 0-2, Nairo pulled out {{SSBU|Ganondorf}} and was able to reverse-sweep the set. This remains the best win from a player playing Ganondorf, while Collision remains the only major tournament where Ganondorf was used to win a set. Finally, Tweek himself ultimately placed 5th playing {{SSBU|Ridley}} and {{SSBU|Young Link}} instead of his usual main. This remains the only time a Ridley player placed top 8 at a major, and as such is the best placement from a Ridley player at a major despite Tweek dropping Ridley almost immediately afterwards.
 
In grand finals, Nairo faced off against Marss once again, and was able to reverse 3-0 Marss in the first set of grand finals. However, Marss ultimately came out on top by winning the reset 3-1, marking the first major win of his career. This win was especially noteworthy for {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}: although players were beginning to realize Zero Suit Samus' nerfs were not as drastic as initially believed, she was still widely regarded as vastly inferior to her [[Zero Suit Samus (SSB4)|''Smash 4'' incarnation]]. This event began a drastic shift in Zero Suit Samus's perception, and additional success from Marss and other Zero Suit Samus players eventually led many to believe she was still a top tier, a belief that remained for the rest of the early metagame.
 
===Coaching controversy===
The set between Marss and Wishes proved to be very controversial. During Game 5, Marss got out of his chair to consult a tournament organizer while his character was still on the [[revival platform]] and Wishes ended up taking his last stock.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://clips.twitch.tv/InnocentLuckyPicklesJebaited|title=Twitch Clip 1}}</ref> Marss was complaining how Wishes was allegedly receiving coaching from {{Sm|Pazda}}, who was in the crowd,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://clips.twitch.tv/StormyCleanClipsdadSmoocherZ|title=Twitch Clip 2}}</ref> and a decision was made to replay Game 5 from when Marss got out of his chair. Marss won the replay and advanced on in bracket while Wishes was sent to losers. This set led to discussion in the Smash community about what constitutes coaching and how to handle it when it occurs.

Collision 2019 was a major Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Fort Lee, New Jersey from March 16th-17th, 2019. It was the sixteenth entry into the Collision tournament series, the first Collision event to be a major, and the first Collision event to feature Ultimate.

Tournament summary[edit]

This event is the most notable case for how flawed the Spring 2019 PGRU's methodology was, specifically how the tiers were solely determined by the entrants count. Despite the event featuring enough top-level talent to be considered a major, the event only had 391 entrants, over 200 entrants short of the A-tier cutoff. Ultimately despite clearly not being a regional, the event was only ranked as a C-tier, as it was a mere 9 entrants short of the B-tier cutoff. OrionRank and retroactive tiering efforts have since acknowledged the event's major status.

This event is best known for Frozen's cinderella run. As the 28th seed, she surprised audiences by having the biggest upsets of the event, including defeating #11 seed Cosmos 2-1 (upset factor 5), #4 seed Light 3-1 (upset factor 6), and, most notably, #1 seed Tweek 3-2 (upset factor 8). She ultimately placed 3rd, marking her best Ultimate tournament run and largely contributing to her 46th-place finish on the Spring 2019 PGRU. In addition, the event is also known for Nairo's incredible loser's run after falling to Marss in top 16, defeating Light 3-2 and Tweek 3-1, as well as shutting down Frozen's run at 3rd. Nairo's set against Light was especially infamous, as after going down 0-2, Nairo pulled out Ganondorf and was able to reverse-sweep the set. This remains the best win from a player playing Ganondorf, while Collision remains the only major tournament where Ganondorf was used to win a set. Finally, Tweek himself ultimately placed 5th playing Ridley and Young Link instead of his usual main. This remains the only time a Ridley player placed top 8 at a major, and as such is the best placement from a Ridley player at a major despite Tweek dropping Ridley almost immediately afterwards.

In grand finals, Nairo faced off against Marss once again, and was able to reverse 3-0 Marss in the first set of grand finals. However, Marss ultimately came out on top by winning the reset 3-1, marking the first major win of his career. This win was especially noteworthy for Zero Suit Samus: although players were beginning to realize Zero Suit Samus' nerfs were not as drastic as initially believed, she was still widely regarded as vastly inferior to her Smash 4 incarnation. This event began a drastic shift in Zero Suit Samus's perception, and additional success from Marss and other Zero Suit Samus players eventually led many to believe she was still a top tier, a belief that remained for the rest of the early metagame.

Coaching controversy[edit]

The set between Marss and Wishes proved to be very controversial. During Game 5, Marss got out of his chair to consult a tournament organizer while his character was still on the revival platform and Wishes ended up taking his last stock.[1] Marss was complaining how Wishes was allegedly receiving coaching from Pazda, who was in the crowd,[2] and a decision was made to replay Game 5 from when Marss got out of his chair. Marss won the replay and advanced on in bracket while Wishes was sent to losers. This set led to discussion in the Smash community about what constitutes coaching and how to handle it when it occurs.
