Collision 2025 was a Super Smash Bros. Melee supermajor and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate superregional held in Secaucus, New Jersey from August 22nd-24th, 2025. This iteration took place at a new venue from previous Collision events, which was one of the reasons for the event being held in August instead of March.

Tournament summary

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Though the Ultimate singles event was initially tiered as an A tier on the LumiRank 2025 TTS, the event ultimately fell below this threshold due to several top player dropouts, making this the first Collision event where Ultimate was not a major. FinallyRJ claimed the lower attendance and size was also due to LumiRank releasing the tiering for the event too early, which greatly derailed their sign-up momentum and prevented any chance for the event to reach S tier.

Despite being the second seed of the event, Light failed to make top 8, being eliminated by two Steve players, #10 seed Just Blue in Winners 1-3 and #17 seed Fhantum in Losers 1-3, for an upset factor of 5 and 7, respectively. Three other top 8 seeds also failed to make top 8: #4 seed crêpe salée lost to #14 seed Pharaoh 1-3 before being eliminated by Dabuz 2-3 for 9th; #5 seed omega lost to #20 seed Char 1-3 (upset factor 4) before being eliminated by crêpe salée 1-3 for 13th; and #7 seed Jakal lost to #26 seed DJDon 0-3 (upset factor 4) before being eliminated by #18 seed Teaser 0-3.

Conversely, Pharaoh had an impressive run at the event, defeating #1 seed Zomba 3-0 (upset factor 7) in Winners Semi-Finals before falling to #3 seed BeastModePaul 0-3 and Zomba in the runback 0-3 to place 3rd. In Grand Finals, Zomba was able to take the event, defeating BeastModePaul in two game 5 sets. Nevertheless, as the highest placing player who did not already register for the event, BeastModePaul received free entry to Port Priority 9.

Aftermath

In a wrap-up statement, head organizer FinallyRJ revealed that the event was ran at a loss and did not break even as a result of issues that took place prior to the event, and that he had to take out a $40,000 loan in order to cover staff and venue costs.
