Super Nebulous 4, or "Super Nebs 4" for short, was a Super Smash Bros. Melee regional tournament held by Hectohertz, MattDotZeb, emilywaves, and several other TOs in New York, New York, on March 27th, 2016. There were 168 singles entrants, the maximum capacity for the venue, and the per-registration itself was sold out on smash.gg in just under 1 hour. There was also a 500 dollar singles pot bonus sponsored by the streamers, hitbox.tv. The players Hungrybox, Westballz, Professor Pro, and Kira were flown in for the tournament and the tournament itself was seen as a warmup or preview for Pound 2016. Outside of singles and doubles, a "Smash Sisters" event; a female only crew battle as well a 4 person "Nebulous vs. the World" crew battle was done as well.

The top 8 commentary was notable for being done by HomeMadeWaffles and Hazz (who was retired at the time), and was, as per all other nebulous events, much less formal compared to other majors.

Hungrybox won the tournament without dropping a single game.

Format

The tournament was split into multiple sections. There were:

  • Round Robin Pools (160* people split into pools of 8 with top 2 advancing).
    • Note: The invited players as well as all of the players outside of Captain Smuckers from the Nebulous crew; being Hax, Swedish Delight, Slox, and The Moon; were exempt from pools and were auto-advanced as 1st seeds.
  • Doubles (46 teams)
