Smash 64 combo contest
Each contestant gets 2 minutes to perform a combo. They can use any character, any stage, and any item. Once the two minutes are up, or when the contestant finishes his or her combo, five judges rate the combo, giving it a number between 1-10. Those points are totalled up into a final number. The higher the score, the better chance in moving on.
In the first round, the top four contestants move on. In the second round, the top two contestants move on. In the final round, both contestants have to do two combos. Although total points are recorded, whoever moves on is chosen solely through said round's points.
The VOD for the event has over two million views on YouTube, and was formerly the most viewed video on VGBootCamp's main channel. A video for the "Top 5 Combo Contest Combos" on VGBootCamp Melee's channel also has over two million views, is the most viewed video on VGBootCamp Melee, and was formerly the most viewed video across all of VGBootCamp's channels.

Smash Masters exhibitions
Rules: All four Smash games are played in a best-of-three format (4 stocks for Smash 64 and Melee, 3 for Brawl and 2 for Smash 4). A big victory is earned by winning a game with a high enough amount of stocks left (3 for Smash 64/Melee and 2 for Brawl/Smash 4).
The winner is determined
- first by sets won
- second by games won
- third by "big victories": wins where a player defeats the opponent with two or more stocks left.

Trivia
- This tournament was notably Armada's final tournament before announcing his retirement from Melee singles in September 2018.
- This is also the most recent tournament with at least four of the Five Gods competing, everyone but PPMD.
- In a Melee singles pools match against Savestate, Armada encountered the frozen turnip glitch for the first time in a tournament. The glitch started on their third stocks, and they repeatedly used the glitched turnip against each other.
- Prince was the first person to get a full score in the Smash 64 combo contest, doing so in both Round 1 and Round 2.
- There were several notable DQ's at the tournament. Plup could not make it on time for his pools because of his flight, Leffen fell ill and dropped out before round 2 pools, and Wizzrobe decided to focus on SSB as Super Smash Con 2018 was its 2nd largest tournament ever and thus decided not to compete in Melee.
- This marked the worst placement at a tournament for the following top players:
- Nairo placed 5th in Smash 4 singles, ending his two-year streak of winning the event at Super Smash Con. He lost to MkLeo using Cloud and Bayonetta and Cosmos using Corrin, marking his first losses at any Super Smash Con to a character other than Pikachu.
- In Smash 4, this tournament marks the highest ever placing of a Peach main at a major national with Samsora placing 2nd.
- Both Melee and Smash 4 grand finals pitted a Peach player against a Marth player, with both of the Marths being Echo Fox players.
