GSM served as the breakout event for the 27th seed, Japanese {{SSBU|King K. Rool}} player {{Sm|Ball}}. After losing to {{Sm|Glutonny}} 3-0, Ball went on a 5-set losers run, defeating {{Sm|Xetroz}}, {{Sm|Ponflex ツ}}, and {{Sm|Eko}} all 3-0, and both {{Sm|Supahsemmie}} and {{Sm|NaetorU}} 3-1, before losing to {{Sm|Sisqui}} 3-1 to finish 7th, marking not the best placement of Ball's career, but the first ever major top 8 for a solo King K. Rool player. Aside from Ball's run, there were little major upsets on the top seeds, and as such 5 of the 8 players seeded in the top 8 were able to enter top 8. However, #1 seed {{Sm|Raru}} greatly underperformed at the event, as he lost to #16 seed NaetorU 0-3 (upset factor 7) and {{Sm|Raflow}} 3-2 (upset factor 6) to place 13th. Though #4 seed {{Sm|SHADIC}} and #7 seed {{Sm|crêpe salée}} also failed to make top 8, they lost to players who were seeded in or near the top 8, and both ultimately placed 9th.

Despite taking up half of the top 8 slots, [[Japan]] ultimately lost all but one set where they fought against a non-Japanese player: both Ball and {{Sm|Asimo}} lost to Sisqui (1-3 and 2-3, respectively); {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}} lost to both {{Sm|Lima}} and {{Sm|Raflow}}; and {{Sm|Doramigi}} lost to Lima 1-3 in Winners Final. Doramigi was able to win Japan's sole set against a non-Japanese player by defeating {{Sm|Raflow}} 3-1, which ended Raflow's 7-set Losers run where he notably eliminated Raru, crêpe salée 3-2, {{Sm|Glutonny}} 3-0, Snow, and Sisqui 3-0. However, Doramigi then lost the runback against Lima 1-3. As such, Lima won the first major of his ''Ultimate'' career as well as his second major victory of his entire ''Smash'' career, with GSM place six years after he won the ''[[Smash 4]]'' event at {{Trn|EVO 2018}}, and therefore became the seventeenth player to have a major win in more than one ''Smash'' game. This also marked the second major victory from a {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} player that year.

GSM was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Grande-Synthe, Hauts-de-France from December 21st-22nd, 2024.

Tournament summary[edit]

GSM served as the breakout event for the 27th seed, Japanese King K. Rool player Ball. After losing to #6 seed Glutonny 3-0, Ball went on a 5-set losers run, defeating #43 seed Xetroz, #44 seed Ponflex ツ, and #18 seed Eko all 3-0, and both #10 seed Supahsemmie (UF 3) and #16 seed NaetorU 3-1, before losing to #11 seed Sisqui 3-1 to finish 7th, marking not only the best placement of Ball's career, but the first ever major top 8 for a solo King K. Rool player. Aside from Ball's run, there were little major upsets on the top seeds, and as such 5 of the 8 players seeded in the top 8 were able to enter top 8. However, #1 seed Raru greatly underperformed at the event, as he lost to NaetorU 0-3 (upset factor 7) and #9 seed Raflow 3-2 (upset factor 6) to place 13th. Though #4 seed SHADIC and #7 seed crêpe salée also failed to make top 8, they lost to players who were seeded in or near the top 8 (#5 seed Snow and Sisqui for SHADIC, #2 seed Asimo and Raflow for crêpe salée), and both ultimately placed 9th.

Despite taking up half of the top 8 slots, Japan ultimately lost all but one set where they fought against a non-Japanese player: both Ball and Asimo lost to Sisqui (1-3 and 2-3 for a upset factor 5 respectively); Snow lost to both #8 seed Lima and Raflow; and #3 seed Doramigi lost to Lima 1-3 (UF 3) in Winners Final. Doramigi was able to win Japan's sole set against a non-Japanese player by defeating Raflow 3-1, which ended Raflow's 7-set Losers run where he notably eliminated Raru, crêpe salée 3-2, Glutonny 3-0, Snow, and Sisqui 3-0. Raflow finished 3rd, his best result since King Con almost a year ago. However, Doramigi then lost the runback against Lima 1-3. As such, Lima won the first major of his Ultimate career as well as his second major victory of his entire Smash career, six years after he won the Smash 4 event at EVO 2018, and therefore became the eighteenth player to have a major win in more than one Smash game. This also marked the second major victory from a Bayonetta player that year, after TamaPDaifuku at Seibugeki 17. Conversely, Glutonny’s 7th place marked his worst result at a European tournament since L'Odyssée - Chant I over 2 years ago.
