Trivia

• This Summit's voting phase set a few new records:
  • Hungrybox received the most votes for a first round vote-in player (at 156,851 votes), surpassing Aaron's record from Smash Ultimate Summit 3.
  • VoiD received the most votes out of anyone voted into a Smash Summit (at around 331,000 votes), surpassing Kola's record from Smash Ultimate Summit 3.
  • omega received the most votes for a player who was ultimately eliminated from the voting phase (at around 273,000 votes), surpassing Peanut's record from Smash Ultimate Summit 3.
  • This was the first time all vote-ins were sponsored.
• Aaron and VoiD became the first two players to get voted into a Smash Ultimate Summit twice.
  • Coincidentally, both were first voted in for Smash Ultimate Summit 3.
• This is the first and only Smash Ultimate Summit without Dabuz, making MkLeo the only player to compete in every Smash Ultimate Summit.
• The final spot qualifier match between Skyjay and Lui$ was in the midst of discussions of if Incineroar or Palutena can perform better in tournaments, following Skyjay's 2nd place run at Collision 2023.
