Scuffed World Tour was a Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate invitational tournament intended to serve as a replacement for the cancelled Smash World Tour 2022 Championships. It was hosted by Ludwig on December 18th, 2022. The 8 players with the most points on the Smash World Tour 2022 standings for both games were invited. Ludwig also added "8 more players that we handpick for each game"[1] for a total of 16 players per game.[2] The 1 player with the highest amount of points in a Smash World Tour 2022 region in the overall Top 30 of the leaderboards was invited if not already qualified.[3] Any replacements for players who couldn't attend were handpicked.[4] The tournament was a double-elimination bracket, with both games running simultaneously. There was a pot prize of $50,000 ($25,000 for each game). The tournament raised $27,589.39 for VGBootCamp, who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars due to the cancellation of the Smash World Tour 2022 Championships,[5] and had to cancel major tournaments Glitch: Duel of Fates and Double Down 2023 in the process.[6]

Trivia

  • The YouTuber Jacksepticeye's Top of the Mornin Coffee sponsored the tournament.[21][22]
  • The tournament was going to overlap with the final day of the Panda Cup Finale before it was postponed.
  • The Top 2 players of Ultimate, Sparg0 and Tweek, were the only two players who did not originally qualify for the Smash World Tour 2022 Championships.
  • This tournament was the first time MkLeo and Shuton faced in Ultimate outside of a weekly. Shuton maintained his perfect record against MkLeo by defeating him 3-0 in Losers Quarterfinals, making their overall record 3-0 Shuton's favor in sets and 9-0 in games.
  • On November 22, 2023, Alan Bunney would claim on the podcast Lights Out that the Scuffed World Tour was the "final nail in the coffin" that canceled the Panda Cup and forced Panda to shut down. This tournament happening on the same day Panda Cup was supposed to happen put Panda in a position where they could not compete with it or any future tournament in the state they were in, forcing them to refund the reportedly millions of dollars worth of sponsorship money for not upholding their end of contracts. Bunney would emphasize that he does not blame Ludwig or the organizers for causing this situation, as they could not have known what was happening to Panda behind the scenes.[23]
  • The tournament was the first with all of the Four Horsemen of Ultimate in attendance (acola, Miya, Sonix, and Sparg0). They would be the Top 4 of the LumiRank 2023 season, which started the day after the tournament.
