2019 started off with a bang, with over 2,000 Smashers participating in {{Trn|GENESIS 6}}. This tournament saw the first international appearance of {{Sm|Zackray}}, a 15-year old from Japan who was a top player in ''Smash 4''. Despite being his first time in a tournament outside of Japan, Zackray made an impressive run by placing 5th and defeating top players such as {{Sm|K9sbruce}} and {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}. {{Sm|MkLeo}}, a young ''Smash 4'' prodigy, was also able to prove that he was still a top player by winning the whole tournament and double eliminating {{Sm|VoiD}}.

==Affects on other competitive scenes==
Similar to ''Brawl''{{'}}s competitive community when ''Smash 4'' was released, most ''Smash 4'' players transitioned to ''Ultimate'' when the game was released, causing the ''Smash 4'' scene to significantly decrease. Due to neither ''Brawl'' nor ''Super Smash Bros.'' having major competetive scenes by the time ''Ultimate'' was released, they were not majorly affected.

Unlike ''Smash 4'', ''Melee'' players have mostly praised ''Ultimate''{{'}}s engine, liking how some Melee techniques such as directional airdoges have made a return, as well as an increase in speed compared to the previous game. Although ''Melee'' tournaments were still thriving, many top ''Melee'' players such as {{Sm|Leffen}} and {{Sm|Mango}} have stated their interests in participating in ''Ultimate'' tournaments. Notably, ''Ultimate'' is the first game to weaken ''Melee''’s competetive scene. The future of ''Melee''’s competetive scene is currently unknown. However, Ultimate’s inclusion and Melee’s exclusion from EVO 2019 does not bode well for the future of competetive ''Melee''.
