Trivia

• This is the first Smash Summit tournament where players can be eliminated by a Swiss pools format instead of the standard double-elimination format.
  • As a direct result of this, since more singles sets will be played overall, this is also the first Melee Smash Summit tournament to forgo having a Doubles tournament.
• This is the first Smash Summit where 18 players are competing instead of 16.
