Trivia
- Jmook's 1st place finish in Melee singles marks the first time a solo Sheik player has won a Melee supermajor, and the first time a solo Sheik has won a North American major since Captain Jack's victory at MLG San Francisco 2004 18 years prior.
- MkLeo's 1st place finish in Ultimate singles marks the first time a player has won five iterations of a Smash supermajor series, and the first time a player has won five iterations of a Smash tournament series since Hungrybox's victory in Melee singles at CEO 2018 (which marked his fifth CEO tournament series win).
- Guildhouse held Pre-Genesis 9 the day before the event, as well as DeGenesis (Genesis 9) after the first and second days of the event.
- This is the first GENESIS tournament where the Melee singles entrants outnumbered the Ultimate singles entrants.
- Mango's placement of 97th marked the worst placement of his Melee singles career. He sandbagged in pools with Dr. Mario, citing lack of motivation and displeasure at being ranked 3rd on the SSBMRank 2022 which released its top 10 ranking on the first day of the tournament. His decision to sandbag sparked backlash from some members of the community for perceived lack of sportsmanship.
- This is the second time Taj has upset Mango at a GENESIS tournament, previously doing so at GENESIS 2.
- This tournament marks the first time since Apex 2014 where two Jigglypuff players (Hungrybox and 2saint) made it to Top 8 of a Melee major.
- This tournament marks 2saint's first Top 8 placement at a major (as well as supermajor) Melee tournament.
- This tournament stands as ESAM's worst placement at an Ultimate tournament, tying Frostbite 2019 with a 65th place finish.
- Taj's final placement of 33rd marks the highest placement of a solo Mewtwo player at a post-Project Slippi era major/supermajor Melee tournament.
- This tournament marks the third year in a row (and fourth overall) that Plup has won Melee doubles at GENESIS.
- The 3rd place finishers for both Ultimate and Melee singles (Light and moky, respectively) were Fox players sponsored by Moist Esports.
- This tournament marks the first time a Peach player, MuteAce, has made it to Grand Finals at a supermajor since Samsora in 2019.
