GENESIS 3, like the two GENESIS events prior, featured another {{Sm|Armada}} vs. {{Sm|Mang0}} grand finals.

After a 3-1 bracket reset, Armada emerged victorious in the second set 3-1, claiming his second GENESIS title.
{{Sm|Mew2King}} was notably upset by {{Sm|SFAT}} in winners' quarters and by {{Sm|Nintendude}} in losers' round of 12, finishing 9th.

==Trivia==
* GENESIS 3 is the second tournament to surpass 1,000 entrants on more than one game, succeeding [[EVO 2015]], while preceding [[EVO 2016]].
* GENESIS and [[Apex (tournament series)|Apex]] are the only tournament series to have hosted at least one of the largest Smash tournaments for each of the four main games (excluding ''[[Project M]]'').
* GENESIS 3 took place at the same time and in the same venue as Furcon 2016.
* GENESIS 3 Melee Singles Grand Finals was a repeat of the last two editions, with {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|Mango}} facing off.
** There were also several other key similarities between GENESIS 3 and the first two editions, including:
*** Not only did Mango and Armada face off in Grand Finals, but Mango came from Losers bracket while Armada was in Winners, as with the first two editions.
*** Mango was taken out by an Arizona player in Winners bracket ({{Sm|Axe}}), and defeated said Arizona player in a rematch in Losers bracket decisively. This is parallel to [[GENESIS 2]], where Mango was defeated in Winners by {{Sm|Taj}} and defeated him later in Losers bracket.
*** Mango defeated Hungrybox in Losers Finals to advance to Grand Finals, as with [[GENESIS]].
**** Mango also defeated Hungrybox in Losers bracket at GENESIS 2, although it was not in Losers Finals.

GENESIS 3 (sometimes stylized as GEN3SIS) was the 3rd edition of the GENESIS tournament series. It took place in San Jose, California, on January 15th to 17th, 2016.[1][2] The event hosted both singles and doubles tournaments for Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in addition to a "Smash Draft Melee Crew Battle", as part of a community Compendium.[3][4] With 3,592 attendees across six tournaments, GENESIS 3 currently stands as one of the largest overall Smash tournaments to date, with over 1,000 entrants for both Melee and Smash 4, as well as the first Smash 64 tournament with over 200 entrants (238).[5] It was also the second

On December 28th, 2015, it was announced by the GENESIS 3 staff that a seeding system would be implemented for both Melee and Smash 4 singles tournaments, which would allow 64 seeded players from Melee, and 32 from Smash 4 to bypass the first round of pools, by floating these players further in the bracket.[6][7] The announcement was followed by immediate backlash from the community and many known tournament organizers, which expressed concerns regarding tournament integrity and the criteria for seeding those players.[8][9][10][11] On December 29th, the GENESIS 3 staff made a formal announcement on Facebook detailing the reasoning behind the decision to seed players from both tournaments, while also announcing that it would no longer seed players for Smash 4, but keep the decision to seed players for Melee.[12][13][14][15]

On January 8th, 2016, it was announced on Twitter that GENESIS 3 was partnered with Nintendo of America.[16]

Tournament summary[edit]

Melee[edit]

GENESIS 3, like the two GENESIS events prior, featured another Armada vs. Mang0 grand finals. Mang0 arrived in grand finals following a lengthy losers' run; after losing to Axe in winners' quarters, he defeated Plup, Nintendude, PPMD, Axe, and Hungrybox to make it to losers' side of grand finals. After a 3-1 bracket reset, Armada emerged victorious in the second set 3-1, claiming his second GENESIS title.

Mew2King was notably upset by SFAT in winners' quarters and by Nintendude in losers' round of 12, finishing 9th.

Melee: S2J vs Abate[edit]

This portion of the Suite was played out because of S2J Captain Falcon (SSBM) losing to Abate Luigi (SSBM) at The Big House 5, with the set infamously ending with the ceiling glitch. S2J won the set 4–2.

A set between Nintendude Ice Climbers (SSBM) and HugS Samus (SSBM) was also planned, but cancelled due to Nintendude opting to practice before facing Mew2King in bracket.

Additionally, a $1,000 money match between Leffen Fox (SSBM) and Westballz Falco (SSBM) was planned, but was cancelled, as Leffen was unable to attend GENESIS 3.
