Tournament summary
Super Smash Bros.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
The Melee tournament saw an abundance of mid-tier players outside of Axe(who placed 9th) and aMSa(who did not attend) placing in top 64, with breakout performances from glock in my toyota playing Mr. Game & Watch, Daniel playing Yoshi, {Sm|Jchu}} playing Pikachu, and Zimberfizz playing Samus all placing 33rd, while Virginia hidden boss Rapmoster placed 25th with Luigi, losing to Axe in winners and Null in losers in two close game 5 sets. The most notable mid-tier placements were from Plup, who played solo-Samus the entirety of the tournament, and Donkey Kong players Junebug and Ckyulmiqnudaetr.
Plup expressed on X before the event that he was feeling in the mood to play Samus, and followed through with the claim, easily breaking into top 64 and defeating Khryke before being knocked into losers side by Spark Afterward, he defeated Mot$ and upset Jmook, marking Jmook's second upset loss to a Samus player after Morsecode762 at Get On My Level X, before he was finally stopped by Hungrybox for 9th, marking one of the best runs for solo-Samus at a major in the post-online era.
After losing to Joshman in winners side top 64, Ckyulmiqnudaetr placed 13th after defeating Daniel, Kevin Maples, and Moky before falling to Krudo in losers. Junebug however went on the single best run of his career, easily making his way into top 64 where he defeated Zamu, Agent, and Axe to make winners side of top 8, also forcing the commentators to switch their top 8 lineup as Junebug was originally slated to commentate. Aferward, He would defeat Joshman 3=0 to advance to winners finals before losing to Mang0 3-1 and Cody Schwab 3-0. This marked not only the best perfromance of Junebug's Melee career, but the best performance for the character of all time, outplacing Bum's 4th place finish at MLG Long Island 2007 and solidifying Donkey Kong's status as a top level tournament threat.
This tournament also served as the breakout event for Connecticut Falco main Kacey. After losing to Joshman in a winners side top 64 qualifier, Kacey went on a monstrous losers run, knocking out Mr. Game & Watch player BINGHI to qualify for top 64 losers. There, she defeated Tazio, Zamu, Dawson, and Panda before falling to KoDoRiN for 13th, her best placement at a major.
This event marked the second time Jmook and Moky failed to make a Major top 8 in 2024, with both being upset by mid=tiers in losers. Moky was defeated by Magi in winners before eliminated to Ckyulmiqnudaetr. Jmook was defeated by Joshman in winners, but lost to Plup playing Samus in losers.
Supernova 2024 marks the second Melee Major won by Mang0 in 2024 after Tipped Off 15: Connected, as well as the first major of the second half of the 2024 ranking season.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
At 296 entrants, this is the first Smash 4 singles event at Supernova to feature less than 300 entrants, and as such is also the smallest Smash 4 event in the tournament series. In addition, Mistake, Dabuz, and Tyroy, the three-best Smash 4 players in the post-Ultimate metagame, did not sign up for the event. With many other former top-Smash 4 players not in attendance, Supernova 2024 became the first Smash 4 Supernova event to not reach major status.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Although it is the smallest Ultimate singles event in the series, Supernova 2024 is currently the largest Ultimate tournament of the year by entrants and and one of the largest Ultimate tournaments of the year by top player attendance.
