COLOSSEL 2022 was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France from July 2nd-3rd, 2022. The tournament was originally set to take place from July 11th-12th, 2020, as a Gold-tier stop on the Smash World Tour 2020. However, the tournament was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and likewise became a Gold-tier stop on the Smash World Tour 2022. At 1,024 entrants, this was the first European Smash tournament to surpass the 1,000 entrants mark, making France the third region to surpass this milestone; it was also the largest European Smash tournament of all time until it was surpassed by Tera in September 2023. Due to its size, some sources, such as the OrionRank 2022 and Liquipedia, consider the event a supermajor, though others, such as SmashWiki and UltRank 2022, only consider the the event a major due to a lack of players in the top 50 in attendance.

Trivia[edit]
- COLOSSEL 2022 faced a few notable technical difficulties:
- During pools, a Nintendo Switch was found with the launch rate set to 0.8.[3]
- The night before top 128, the entire singles bracket on start.gg was reset, undoing all of the pools results.[4] With help from SmashExplorer, the bracket was back to normal in time for top 128 to start on time.[5]
- Although quiK was up a stock, the final game of the set between him and Bloom4Eva was reset due to controller issues. Bloom4Eva eventually won the game, eliminating quiK.
- This tournament marked Maister's first offline set win over MkLeo, with MkLeo having won their past 17 consecutive sets.
- This tournament marked the highest placement for a Lucas player at a major, with Nitox placing 9th and tying Regalo's run at Super Smash Con 2023.
- This tournament featured a heavily anticipated set between Leon and LeoN, both of whom were supposed to fight in exhibition matches at both Temple: Hermès Edition and Kings of Fields 95; both of these matches were eventually cancelled, due to logistical issues for the former and travel issues for the latter. Leon ultimately won the set 3-2 while reverse 3-0ing LeoN and ending the set with a 3-stock.
