The Big House 4 is the fourth-largest ''Melee'' tournament of all time and the second-largest ''Project M'' tournament of all time; additionally, the event will be the largest Midwest ''Melee'' tournament in history, surpassing the previous record set by [[MELEE-FC Diamond]] in 2007, and the tournament is also both the largest two-day ''Smash'' tournament of all time, as well as the largest to run round-robin pools.
The Big House 4 currently stands as [[List of largest Smash tournaments|one of the largest ''Project M'' tournaments to date]], with 333 entrants for ''Project M''; additionally, the event was the largest Midwest ''Melee'' tournament at the time, surpassing the previous record set by [[MELEE-FC Diamond]] in 2007, and the tournament was also the largest to run round-robin pools.


The Big House 4 also marks an important ruleset update for ''Project M''; amid growing concerns over average gameplay time in version 3.02, it will be the first major tournament to use three stocks in ''Project M'' games instead of the previous standard of four.
Amid growing concerns over average gameplay time in version 3.02, The Big House 4 was the first major tournament to use three stocks in ''Project M'' games instead of the previous standard of four.
 
In the ''Melee'' singles bracket, after losing to {{Sm|Mew2King}}'s {{SSBM|Sheik}} 0-3 in winners' semifinals, {{Sm|Mango}} swept through losers' bracket, defeating {{Sm|Lucky}} 3-2 in losers' quarterfinals, {{Sm|Armada}} 3-1 in losers' semifinals, and {{Sm|Leffen}} 3-1 in losers' finals, finally beating {{Sm|Mew2King}} in two consecutive 3-1 sets of grand finals to win the tournament. {{Sm|Leffen}} reached winners' finals for the first time in a major American tournament, defeating top professional players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}} and {{Sm|Armada}}; his performance solidified his position among the best players of ''Melee''. Hungrybox lost to Leffen 2-3 in winners' quarters, as well as to Lucky 1-3 in losers' bracket, unexpectedly finishing at 9th place, his worst tournament placing since 2007. A large amount of other upsets occurred in ''Melee'' singles, with {{Sm|Kels}} eliminating {{Sm|Axe}} 3-1 in losers' bracket to make it to top 8, and {{Sm|Kalamazhu}} making a long run through losers' bracket to secure 9th place, defeating {{Sm|KirbyKaze}} and {{Sm|MacD}}, before losing in an extremely close set 2-3 against {{Sm|Hax}}.

The Big House 4 was a Super Smash Bros. Melee and Project M national tournament held in Romulus, Michigan, on October 4th-5th, 2014, hosted primarily by Juggleguy and Strong Bad. In addition to featuring professional smashers from the Midwest region such as Duck, Anther, Kels, VaNz, and Darkrain, the tournament also featured powerful out-of-region talent such as Mango, Mew2King, Hungrybox, Axe, Hax, Westballz, KirbyKaze, Plup, Colbol, SFAT, Lucky, Shroomed, MacD, Zhu, Bladewise, The Moon, Darrell, HugS, and Wizzrobe, as well as international talent such as Armada, Leffen, ZeRo, and Professor Pro.

The Big House 4 currently stands as one of the largest Project M tournaments to date, with 333 entrants for Project M; additionally, the event was the largest Midwest Melee tournament at the time, surpassing the previous record set by MELEE-FC Diamond in 2007, and the tournament was also the largest to run round-robin pools.

Amid growing concerns over average gameplay time in version 3.02, The Big House 4 was the first major tournament to use three stocks in Project M games instead of the previous standard of four.

In the Melee singles bracket, after losing to Mew2King's Sheik 0-3 in winners' semifinals, Mango swept through losers' bracket, defeating Lucky 3-2 in losers' quarterfinals, Armada 3-1 in losers' semifinals, and Leffen 3-1 in losers' finals, finally beating Mew2King in two consecutive 3-1 sets of grand finals to win the tournament. Leffen reached winners' finals for the first time in a major American tournament, defeating top professional players such as Hungrybox and Armada; his performance solidified his position among the best players of Melee. Hungrybox lost to Leffen 2-3 in winners' quarters, as well as to Lucky 1-3 in losers' bracket, unexpectedly finishing at 9th place, his worst tournament placing since 2007. A large amount of other upsets occurred in Melee singles, with Kels eliminating Axe 3-1 in losers' bracket to make it to top 8, and Kalamazhu making a long run through losers' bracket to secure 9th place, defeating KirbyKaze and MacD, before losing in an extremely close set 2-3 against Hax.
