The ''Melee'' tournament saw an abundance of mid-tier players outside of {{Sm|Axe}} (who placed 9th) and {{Sm|aMSa}} (who did not attend) placing in top 64, with breakout performances from {{Sm|glock in my toyota}} playing {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{Sm|Daniel}} playing {{SSBM|Yoshi}}, and {{Sm|JChu}} playing {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, while [[Virginia]] hidden boss {{Sm|RapMonster}} placed 25th with {{SSBM|Luigi}}, losing to Axe in winners and {{Sm|null}} in losers in two close game 5 sets.

The most notable placements from non-top tier characters 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 [[Twitter]] before the event that he was feeling in the mood to play Samus, just like he had done [[Tournament:Super Smash Con 2019|the last time he entered the series]] in 2019. Following through with the post, he easily broke into top 64 and defeated {{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 2023}} the previous year, 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-netplay era.

Although it is the smallest ''Ultimate'' singles event in the series, Supernova 2024 is currently the largest ''Ultimate'' tournament of the year by entrants and the second-largest ''Ultimate'' tournament of the year by top player attendance behind {{Trn|Kagaribi 12}}, with all of the top 10 from the [[LumiRank 2024.1]] season attending as well as the vast majority of the top 20, aside from {{Sm|Doramigi}}, {{Sm|Yaura}} (who was on hiatus) and {{Sm|Zackray}}. In addition, the event featured many other international talent, including several Japanese players who were outside the top 20 such as {{Sm|Gackt}}, {{Sm|Yoshidora}} and {{Sm|KEN}}, as well as Europe's new ranked #1 player on the [[European Ultimate Power Rankings]], {{Sm|crêpe salée}}. {{Sm|ShinyMark}} was also planning on attending, but had to DQ a few days before the event due to having exams.
