Riptide is an ongoing supermajor for Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, held in Sandusky, Ohio from September 10th-12th, 2021. In addition to Super Smash Bros., the event is also running tournaments for Rivals of Aether and Splatoon 2.
The event was originally intended to be held from September 11th-13th, 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was delayed to the current date.[1] A Project+ event was also planned, but was removed after the team receiving a cease and desist from Nintendo.[2]

Controversy
Following the second day of the tournament, players in the fifth pool noticed that one of the setups was set to .9x knockback, which allegedly affected players such as Scend, ZD, Vintendo, and MRW.[5]
Trivia
- Less than 4 hours after the tournament's announcement, the tournament reached its entrants cap,[6] locking out several notable players including HugS[7], varun[8], and Switch.[9] The speed at which the entrants cap was reached has since spawned a few jokes in the community. The registration from Riptide reopened on June 4th, 2021, with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate entrant cap increasing to 768, Super Smash Bros. Melee increasing to 512, and Project+ increasing to 256 entrants.[10]
- This tournament is the first offline tournament to have 1,000 entrants in a singles event since Frostbite 2020.
- This tournament marks the worst placement for a number of players in an Ultimate tournament:
- yonni placed 9th in Ultimate, tying the highest solo Steve placement at a national with Jake at InfinityCON Tally 2021.
- This tournament marks the first time a Ganondorf and Jigglypuff player placed in top 64 in a supermajor, with Rickles placing 33rd and BassMage placing 49th, respectively.
