TriviaEdit
- Despite Banjo & Kazooie, Steve, and Sephiroth having three or more projectile moves, they were not included in the tournament, even if multiple versions/different versions of a projectile aren’t counted.
- For Banjo & Kazooie, their projectiles are Egg Firing, Breegull Blaster, Shock Spring Jump (specifically the jump pad itself when airborne), and Rear Egg.
- For Steve, his projectiles are his down tilt, down smash, down aerial, Minecart, and TNT.
- For Sephiroth, his projectiles are Flare, Megaflare, Gigaflare, Shadow Flare, and Scintilla.
- King Dedede technically has three projectile moves: Gordo Throw, the Drop Stars from Super Dedede Jump, and spitting out characters in a star projectile with Inhale. However, as Inhale is a conditional projectile move, this most likely made King Dedede illegible for the tourney.
- Met afstand de beste, the Dutch name for this event, might be a pun. It can also be translated to "With distance the best".
