| Prior to the tournament's start, attention was drawn to all four of the tournament's Top 4 seeds being {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} mains (and five out of the Top 6 in the final seeding). Seed #5 {{Sm|Dabuz}} in particular noticed the Bayonetta-dominant seeding, remarking "If any TOs can't find me during my pool that is ok do not attempt to look for or contact me".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230814043828/https://twitter.com/DabuzSenpai/status/1689109249836630017|title=Dabuz on ''Smash 4'' seeding}}</ref> With solo Bayonetta mains filling all of the Top 3 for the second year in a row and a solo Bayonetta main winning the past three years in a row, there was continued fatigue from spectators in the era post-''Ultimate''{{'}}s release. Even {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in ''Brawl'' singles was not nearly as dominant at the tournament, a character regarded to be more overpowered than Bayonetta in ''Smash 4''. High level players such as {{Sm|KEN}}, {{Sm|IcyMist}}, and {{Sm|Sonix}} dropped out from the bracket in interest of playing ''Ultimate'', with some players such as Dabuz and {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} opting to not play in the bracket entirely, continuing the trend of apathy towards the game from some high level players post-''Ultimate''{{'}}s release.

| {{Sm|Mistake}} placed 1st, winning the past three ''Smash 4'' majors and Super Smash Cons in a row. {{Sm|Cyel}} (formerly reflection), the #3 seed, was eliminated at 9th place, an underperformance after placing 3rd the previous year at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2022}} and winning {{Trn|Apex 2022}}. Interestingly, {{SSB4|Little Mac}} had an impressive three representatives in Top 32: {{Sm|Alternis}}, {{Sm|WonderBread}}, and {{Sm|Potato257}}. {{Sm|Goblin}} placed 9th with {{SSB4|Roy}}, the best placement for a solo Roy at a major tournament.
