Battle of BC 6 was a Super Smash Bros. Melee supermajor and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Vancouver, British Columbia, from March 29th-31st, 2024.

Tournament summary

Super Smash Bros. Melee

The tournament notably featured 3 Yoshi players in top 64 in Mono, Egg$, and aMSa.

During top 8, Cody Schwab performed a mid-set popoff against Joshman and inadvertently disconnected the Wii from the match setup, resulting in a 10 minute delay between Game 3 and Game 4.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Prior to the event, the tournament saw many notable players DQ due to various reasons, most notably visa issues (AlanDiss, among other Mexican players) and flights getting cancelled (Sonix, Onin, and Blacktwins13); other notable DQs include Light, Jakal, and Scend. All these top player dropouts significantly dropped the tournament's point value, from S+ tier a few weeks prior to A+ tier days before the event. On the other hand, this tournament marked the international debut -- ignoring pre-locals -- for Doramigi, Toriguri, Gorioka, and Tarakotori, and is also Ron's first North American event.

This event saw strong runs from Doramigi and Toriguri, who were both seeded outside the top 8 but were both able to make upsets or overcome difficult matchups to place top 8. In Doramigi's case, despite Jigglypuff considered by many to be one of Min Min's worst matchups, he was able to defeat BassMage 3-1 to advance to Winner's Finals. In Toriguri's case, although he historically struggled against Gorioka's Joker, he was able to defeat Lemmon 3-1 and MkLeo 3-0 to move on to top 12 Winner's side. Although Toriguri then lost to Hurt in a close game 5 match, he was able to defeat Big D 3-0 to enter top 8 on the Loser's side.

On the other hand, the biggest upset of the event was on #3 seed Glutonny, who placed 33rd after losing to #30 seed Armadillo 3-1 (upset factor 7), a player who he previously lost to in the crew battle, and #38 seed Ludo 3-0 (upset factor 8) for 33rd, his worst placement at an offline Ultimate event. In addition, #20 seed Gorioka was upset in pools by #109 seed Vic 3-1 (upset factor 5), although he made a small Loser's run to 25th, only missing his seed by 1 placement. Finally, Ron was knocked into Losers by Lancelot 3-1, however he also made a small Losers run, which included eliminating MkLeo 3-1 at 13th, to place 9th and match his seed; MkLeo therefore lost to the two players he fought against in the crew battle.

In top 8 Winner's side, Hurt defeated Doramigi 3-0 and Sparg0 defeated Yoshidora, leading the two to meet each other in a highly-anticipated Winner's Finals match. Hurt ultimately came out on top, defeating Sparg0 3-0 to enter Grand Finals. In the Loser's side, Toriguri ultimately placed 5th after defeating BassMage and losing to Yoshidora, tying his placement at Maesuma TOP 15 "FINAL" as the best solo-Banjo placement at a major. Yoshidora then defeated Doramigi before meeting Sparg0 in Loser's Final, where he came close to winning the runback but lost in a game 5 last hit scenario. Hurt ultimately defeated Sparg0 in the runback 3-1, making him the first Snake player other than Ally to win a major in all Smash games, as well as the first Snake player to win a major since Pound 2019 almost five years prior.
