The '''Midwest''' is a ''Smash'' region located in the United States. It is by far the largest ''Smash'' region in the United States in terms of land area, encompassing fourteen different states. Due to this, the region has sometimes been split into four additional regions: '''Great Lakes East''', which includes Kentucky, Ohio, and west Pennsylvania, primarily the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, and sometimes includes [[West Virginia]]; '''Great Lakes West''', which includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin; '''Heartland North''', which includes Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota; and '''Heartland South''', which includes Iowa, Nebraska, and northern Kansas and Missouri, primarily the Greater St. Louis and Kansas City metropolitan areas. Tournament activity in the Midwest is the most active in the Chicago and Detroit metropolitan areas, although many other metropolitan areas also have notable scenes, such as Cleveland, Madison, Pittsburgh, and Kansas City.

Historically, the Midwest was a strong yet relatively secluded region. During ''Melee''{{'}}s Golden Age, the Midwest had several notable players including {{Sm|Darkrain}}, {{Sm|Drephen}}, and {{Sm|Vidjogamer}}, and several tournament series such as the long-running {{Trn|Show Me Your Moves}} series; however, the scene's overall size was less than the sizes of the other major American ''Smash'' scenes at that time. This changed around the early 2010s with the rise of {{Trn|The Big House|series}} series in Michigan, which eventually became ''Melee''{{'}}s premier end-of-the-year supermajor. In addition, many other large tournament series began as the decade progressed, including {{Trn|Frostbite|tournament series}} in Michigan, {{Trn|Midwest Mayhem|series}} in Illinois, and {{Trn|Smash 'N' Splash|series}} in Illinois and Wisconsin, and many FGC events such as {{Trn|Combo Breaker|series}} and {{Trn|Frosty Faustings|series}} in Illinois began seeing greater entrants count for their ''Smash'' events, all the while many more Midwest players began making their mark on competitive play, such as {{Sm|Ginger}}, {{Sm|KJH}}, {{Sm|Lunchables}}, {{Sm|Ned}}, and {{Sm|Zinoto}}. At its peak, the Midwest's tournament activity rivaled some of the biggest regions in the United States.

The Midwest's impact on the competitive scene diminished in the early years of competitive play following the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], in part due to the conclusion or hiatus of many big tournament series such as Frostbite, The Big House, and Smash 'N' Splash; {{Trn|Riptide|series}} was the only major tournament series active during this time, and even then several of its iteration were smaller than the aforementioned pre-pandemic series. As such, the Midwest scene in ''Ultimate'' became infamous for being unable to hold a single major between {{Trn|The Big House 10}} in October 2022 and {{Trn|Riptide 2024}} in September 2024, a stark contrast to the game's first year, when the Midwest held three supermajors. Nevertheless, the Midwest retained a slew of strong talent that have made strong impacts in their respective titles, including {{Sm|ApolloKage}}, {{Sm|Onin}}, and {{Sm|Ossify}}, and the region's impact gradually improved in the mid-2020s. In addition, the Midwest became one of the largest ''Project+'' regions during this time, boasting numerous ranked players with each iteration of the [[PMRank]].
