Also, the final two players who get eliminated have the choice of either taking a portion of the raised funds that they would have gotten, or be flown out to the tournament, where they can participate in activities and practice.

Trivia
- This is the first Smash Summit where Mew2King and SFAT will not attend, as Mew2King declined his invitation and SFAT qualified at Smash 'N' Splash 5 but declined due to a wedding[1].
- This is also S2J's first Smash Summit where he was invited rather than voted in.
- This is currently the Smash Summit with the most international attendance, with six non-U.S. players competing, either through invitation, qualifying, or being voted in.
- This is the first tournament ever with at least two of the Five Gods in attendance where none of them placed Top 4.
