Luminosity Makes BIG Moves 2024 is an ongoing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate supermajor held in New York, New York, from January 5th-7th, 2024.

Tournament summary

Steve ban

In response to questions regarding Steve's legality at the tournament, head TO Max Ketchum posted a poll on Twitter asking players whether Steve should be banned at the tournament.[1] The poll closed a week later with 3,738 responses.

The results showed a majority of players who were attending or planned on attending the event wanted Steve ban (69.47% and 62.83%, respectively), while the percent for those not attending was smaller yet still a majority (52.47%). Due to the results, Steve was banned from the event.[2]

The poll saw a rather split reaction. Some players lauded how the ban was based on a community vote rather than solely the decision of the tournament organizers, which also gave clearer picture on the general playerbase's opinions on the ban, specifically how most players who attend tournaments want the character banned.[3] Other players believed the ban was more so due to Steve's unpopularity in the community and/or the Tristate area, with them also arguing that other unpopular characters such as Kazuya and Sonic would likely see the same result if polled.[4]

Ultimate Singles

Alongside Umebura SP 10, this was the first tournament and supermajor of the 2024 season. While the attendance was lower in this tournament, a lot of the North American heavy hitters from the previous years were in attendance, such as Sparg0, Sonix, Tweek, Light, MkLeo, Dabuz, and Riddles. At 891 attendees in Ultimate singles, it started off 2024 strong as the one of the first two supermajors of the year.

At the first day of Ultimate singles, there were a some notable upsets in pools. The biggest upset of the day (and the whole tournament) was seed #132 Spritzy defeating seed #4 Dabuz in a nailbiter game 5 set, with the upset having an UF of 11. Other notable upsets to start off the tournament were seed #233 yosi beating seed #24 Aaron 3-0 (UF 7), seed #113 Wildz beating seed #16 Quidd 3-0 (UF 6), seed #97 Synergy defeating seed #32 MKBigBoss 3-1 (UF 4), seed #171 Gamer defeating seed #43 Armadillo 3-1 (UF 4) and seed #163 Shady defeating seed #35 Kobe (UF 4).

The next day saw a slew of underperformances. One of the biggest performances was Dabuz placing 49th after losing to Justice 1-3 (UF 10), resulting in tying for his worst placement at an Ultimate major alongside Super Smash Con 2019 at 49th. Other underperformances included Aaron placing 97th, seed #17 Jakal and MKBigBoss placing 65th, seed #21 MVD placing 49th, seed #12 Peabnut and Quidd placing 33rd, and seed #14 Anathema placing 25th.
