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.

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.
  • 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.
  • Mango forfeited after losing to Flipsy in Round 2 pools, placing 65th, marking his worst placing at a Melee tournament in his career to date.
    • There were also other 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 is also SFAT's worst placing at a Melee tournament in his career, placing 33rd, tied with his placement at Apex 2013.
    • Additionally, this is four Smash 4 players' worst placing at a tournament in their careers:
  • 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.
