A numerous amount of top players ended up underperforming at this event. Most notably, all four top Mexican players, {{Sm|Sparg0}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Maister}}, and {{Sm|Skyjay}}, were in attendance and tied at 17th. Other underperformances include {{Sm|Riddles}} placing 13th, {{Sm|Glutonny}} and {{Sm|Asimo}} finishing 17th, {{Sm|Zomba}} finishing 33rd, and a few top Japanese players such as {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}}, {{Sm|Yaura}}, and {{Sm|Shuton}} finishing outside of top 32. Shuton notably was upset by {{Sm|Skinny the Pooh}} and {{Sm|Tarik}} for 49th, marking his worst placement in ''Ultimate'' singles. | A numerous amount of top players ended up underperforming at this event.

Conversely, this also marked the best supermajor placement in North America for some characters. {{Sm|Umeki}} placing 5th with solely {{SSBU|Daisy}} is the best run with the character in the country since Umeki's own 17th place at {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}}.

Most notably, {{Sm|BeastModePaul}}'s 17th place with solely Hero became the best performance of the character at a North American tournament up to that point, having a hot streak in bracket and notably upsetting three Europeans -- {{Sm|Glutonny}}, {{Sm|Sisqui}}, and {{Sm|AndresFn}} -- along the way. | ||
The Loser's side of Top 8 featured a ditto between the best {{SSBU|Peach}}/{{SSBU|Daisy}} players in North America and Japan ({{Sm|MuteAce}} and Umeki) as well as a ditto between the best {{SSBU|Fox}} players in the two regions ({{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} and {{Sm|Kaninabe}}).

He ultimately dominated both sets, deafeating acola 3-0 and defeating Miya 3-1; the latter also marked Miya's first game loss of the tournament. Miya defeated acola 3-1 in Loser's Finals, with acola notably pulling out his secondary {{SSBU|Aegis}} in game 2 to no avail, and managed to reset the bracket against Sonix 3-1. However, Sonix ultimately clutched out the final set 3-1, winning his first premier event. | ||
This tournament marks {{Team|Luminosity Gaming}}'s first major/supermajor win, with {{Sm|Sonix}} finally breaking the "curse" and winning ''Ultimate'' singles. Sonix's win also broke Miya's three-major win streak, who had previously won {{Trn|Kagaribi 11}}, {{Trn|Rise 'N Grind 2023}}, and {{Trn|Seibugeki 15}} back-to-back. | This tournament marks {{Team|Luminosity Gaming}}'s first major/supermajor win, with {{Sm|Sonix}} finally breaking the "curse" and winning ''Ultimate'' singles.
