It is the most recent in The Big House series of tournament events, following [[The Big House 3]]. In addition to featuring professional smashers from the Midwest region like {{Sm|Duck}} and {{Sm|Anther}}, the tournament also features powerful out-of-region talent like {{Sm|Mango}}, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, {{Sm|Axe}} and {{Sm|Hax}}, as well as international talent such as {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|Leffen}}..


It is the 4th-largest ''Melee'' tournament of all time and the 2nd-largest ''Project M'' tournament of all time.
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 its previous installment of [[The Big House 3]], 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 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.
