DELTA 9 was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate supermajor held in Ota, Tokyo, Kantō on October 27th, 2024.
Summary
The first of the two most notable runs of the tournament is Raru's run. As the second seed, he lost in his third set to Ocha 0-3 for a upset factor 10, the biggest of the tournament. Despite this, he managed to make a 11-set losers run while scoring a lot of good wins : #6 seed Glutonny 3-0, #17 seed Yamanaction 3-2, #5 seed TamaPDaifuku 3-1 and #4 seed Shuton 3-1 before losing to #1 seed Miya to place 2nd, matching his seed. His second place at a supermajor also marks one of Luigi's best results in Smash alongside his second place at KOWLOON 9 with Sumabato and his two majors wins at Sumabato SP 47 and Sumabato SP 50.
On the other hand, this event saw a cinderella run from #47 seed Ryopei. This Snake player was mostly unknown before this tournament, although he had a good run to 33rd at Kagaribi 11, a year ago, notably defeating Karaage and Suinoko. Despite benefiting from players being in loser's bracket or eliminated early, he made 3 upsets over #18 Reno 3-0 (UF 2), #15 Gorioka 3-1 (UF 3) and lastly #14 Toriguri 3-2 (UF 3) to reach winner's finals. He lost back to back sets to Miya 0-3 and Raru 2-3, ending his cinderella run at 3rd place. He became the lowest seed to make top 8 at a major since Many's 5th place finish at S Factor 11 in July, who was the #51 seed.
Miya would convincingly win the tournament, only dropping 5 games (one to #32 Noi, to Yamanaction and #9 M0tsunabE and two to TamaP), extending his already long lead as the player with the most majors wins in 2024, and tying MkLeo as the number of majors won in all of Ultimate's life span, being 24. It's very impressive as Miya won the same amount of majors as MkLeo in less than half the time MkLeo had, since MkLeo was present since the start of Ultimate in 2018 (almost six years ago) while Miya made his breakout run at Kagaribi 8 in July 2022 (2 years ago).
Similar to other Japanese majors, several top seeds were upset, as only 4 of the top 8 seeded players (Raru, Miya and Shuton and TamaPDaifuku) made top 8. TamaPDaifuku's run to 5th also marks his return to form after his several underperformances both in Japan and North America since the start of the 2024.2 season. #3 seed Snow lost 1-3 to Toriguri (UF 5) and M0tsunabE 2-3 (UF 4) for 9th, #6 seed Glutonny (the only notable international invader of the tournament) lost to #27 seed Sin 0-3 (UF 5) before falling into Raru's loser's run for 25th, #7 seed Akakikusu lost to #39 seed Marcos and #36 seed Tameigo, both in game 5 sets and upset factor 5 for 25th, and #8 seed KEN lost to #40 seed Kept 2-3 (UF 5) and Shuton in loser's side top 8 qualifier 0-3 (who was send to loser's early by TamaP) for 9th.
The other top seeds to underperformed are #10 seed Kameme, dropping sets to #119 seed YOC 0-2 (UF 7) and #42 seed Kurofune 2-3 (UF 4), #11 seed Umeki, losing in two game 5 sets to #75 seed Kebanga (UF 6) and #107 seed Tsukasa (UF 7) and #18 seed Reno, who lost to Ryopei and #50 seed Sumaho 1-3 (UF 3), all three being eliminated at 65th. On the other side, despite #12 seed Alice lost in his first round to #268 seed Hiiragi 0-2 (UF 10, tied with Ocha's win over Raru as the biggest of the tournament), he made a 9-set long loser's run, which includes him winning the runback against Hiiragi and defeating Noi, #16 seed Rarikkusu and Ocha.
Lastly, Toriguri's 5th place at a supermajor marks Banjo and Kazooie's best performance, as his three other 5th place finishes (at Maesuma TOP 15 "FINAL", Battle of BC 6 and Seibugeki 17) were made at majors.
