Trivia

  • This is the first time Beyond the Summit is holding a Smash tournament outside of Melee, although VGBootCamp held a similar invitational for Smash Wii U in December 2017, called Smash 4 Boot Camp.
    • ZeRo, MkLeo, Nairo, VoiD, and Dabuz were invited to both Smash 4 Boot Camp and Smash Ultimate Summit.
    • Cosmos was voted in to both Smash 4 Boot Camp and Smash Ultimate Summit.
    • Light was voted in to Smash 4 Boot Camp and invited to Smash Ultimate Summit.
  • This is the first time within the Summit series of tournaments that a New England Smash player opted in and was not voted in.
  • Smash Ultimate Summit was ZeRo's last offline tournament where he competed in singles until July 2024. The only other offline tournament he entered in between was the Smash Masters exhibition at Super Smash Con 2019.
  • During their set, Kietaro was laughing because he knew he was cheesing FullStream due to lack of Snake MU knowledge
