Despite falling into Losers early, both acola and Sonix saw strong Losers run to make top 8, with acola notably going game 5 against {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|Marss}} to enter top 8 and Sonix cruising through his bracket, only going game 5 against Miya, to make top 8. On the winner's side, Raru, SHADIC, and Sparg0 had little trouble entering top 8; however, Tweek lost to Hurt before being eliminated by Sonix for 9th. With {{Sm|Asimo}} and {{Sm|Yoshidora}} entering the top 8 through the Loser's side, the top 8 saw 5 players from Japan and 3 players from North America. | Despite falling into Losers early, both acola and Sonix saw strong Losers run to make top 8, with acola notably going game 5 against {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, and {{Sm|Marss}} to enter top 8 and Sonix cruising through his bracket, only going game 5 against Miya, to make top 8.

Despite having a majority in the top 8, Japan ultimately placed lower than all the North American players, | Despite having a majority in the top 8, Japan ultimately placed lower than all the North American players, Sparg0, Sonix and SHADIC. This was mostly due to Sonix's losers run, where he eliminated acola 3-0, Raru 3-0, and Asimo 3-1. In addition, Asimo himself eliminated the other two Japanese players, defeating Yoshidora in a close game 5 set and defeating Hurt 3-1. Hurt fell into losers after losing to Sparg0 3-1, and Sparg0 entered Grand Finals after defeating SHADIC 3-0, while Sonix then defeated SHADIC 3-0 to meet Sparg0 in Grand Finals, the first offline {{Trn|Coinbox}} Grand Finals of the year. Although Sonix easily defeated Sparg0's {{SSBU|Aegis}} in the first game, Sparg0 surprised audiences by pulling out {{SSBU|Roy}}, and decisively defeated Sonix 3-2, winning his first P-tier of the year and marking his best tournament win of his career up to that point. | ||
With Sparg0's victory, his wins over players who had just defeated him in their most recent sets, and Sparg0 dropping only two games prior to Grand Finals, many players considered this event Sparg0's "revenge tour", especially in-light of his 9th-place ranking on the LumiRank 2024.1 and his underperformance at the [[Tournament:Super Smash Con 2023|previous Supernova event]]. In addition, although Sonix's "second-place curse" remained, many players lauded Sonix's run as one of the best losers run in ''Ultimate'', as he took out half of the previous season's top 10 as well as two of Japan's best players who were ranked outside the top 10. Lastly, SHADIC's placement of 3rd among the former 2 North American players boosts him to becoming a candidate as one of the three best players of North America and as the frontrunner of best player in the US. | With Sparg0's victory, his wins over players who had just defeated him in their most recent sets, and Sparg0 dropping only two games prior to Grand Finals, many players considered this event Sparg0's "revenge tour", especially in-light of his 9th-place ranking on the LumiRank 2024.1 and his underperformance at the [[Tournament:Super Smash Con 2023|previous Supernova event]].
