Cirque 4 was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Orlando, Florida from October 19th-20th, 2024.

Tournament summary[edit]

At just 145 entrants, this tournament was noticeably smaller than its previous iteration, however it featured just as much talent, if not more. As such, this event became the smallest post-pandemic open major in terms of entrants count, as well as the smallest open major since Kagaribi 3, which took place during the pandemic.

Due to the tournament size, there were less upsets at Cirque 4 compared to other majors, with only three notable ones prior to top 32: #51 seed jBoneX defeating #14 seed Kaninabe 3-2 (UF 4), #38 seed Osh9 defeating #6 seed Snow (upset factor 6), and #57 seed Spritzy eliminating #13 seed MuteAce 3-1 for 33rd (upset factor 4). Conversely, top 32 saw underwhelming finishes from both Snow and #2 seed Hurt as they finished 17th, with Snow being eliminated by #17 seed Goblin 1-3 (upset factor 4) and Hurt losing to a Litvitational 3 runback with #15 seed Peabnut 1-3 (upset factor 6) and #28 seed Dominator 1-3 (upset factor 8). Finally, although he made it into winner's side of top 32, Zomba had to drop out of the event due to food poisoning.

Contrasting these two mediocre finishes from Japan's best players were incredible performances from both #4 Miya and #9 Tea. Miya especially got his revenge on players that had defeated him in their most recent set, including a clean reverse 3-0 against Tweek and a 3-0 victory against Light, in order to enter grand finals on the winner's side, his first grand finals appearance at a North American major since Litvitational 2. For Tea, his 5th-place finish marked his best open major performance since Kagaribi 12 back in May, as well as his first top 8 finish at an open major during the LumiRank 2024.2 season. Along the way, he replicated his performance at the pre-major Litvitational 3 by defeating #1 seed Sparg0 3-2 (UF 6), only Tea's second win on Sparg0, losing in two close game 5 sets to Miya and #11 Lima.

Lima himself also made an incredible strong performance at the event, rivaling the performance he had at Litvitational 3. After losing to SHADIC, Lima tore through the loser's bracket, most notably defeating Sparg0 3-1 (UF 6) and Light 3-2 along the way, the first time Lima defeated both players and redeeming Lima's losses to Light at the Litvitational 3. Lima then met Miya in grand finals, where despite losing the first two games rather badly, Lima was able to perform a reverse 3-0 to reset the bracket, although he came close to losing to Miya's surprising Mii Swordfighter pick in the final game. However, Miya was ultimately able to decisively defeat Lima in the reset 3-0, notably seeing an incredibly early up air kill at the end of the second game that shocked both players and the commentators. With this win, Miya was finally able to break his streak of underwhelming major performances in North America and marked his first North American major victory since Rise 'N Grind 2023.
