The Gimvitational is an ongoing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate invitational held in Laurel, Maryland, from June 16th-19th, 2022. The tournament was announced following GimR's presentation on the slingshot technique and features a Summit-esque voting style, where 20% of all donations and shop profits will be added to a "Player Fund," a fund that returns a percentage of money to those who make it into the nomination phase.

Trivia
- Cosmos, Light, Marss, Tweek, and Larry Lurr participated in both The Gimvitational and Smash 4 Boot Camp in December 2017, which were both 16-player invitationals held by VGBootCamp.
- VoiD, who was in The Gimvitational but dropped out due to health issues, was a player at Smash 4 Boot Camp too. Coincidentally, he was sick for part of that event.
