The most anticipated set at the tournament was between {{Sm|Zain}}, the best player in the world, and {{Sm|RapMonster}}, a rising star from the previous year. Both players have been in a feud since the beginning of the year, with Zain attending {{Trn|Bair Necessities}} to face RapMonster in bracket, and though RapMonster did not make it to Zain at that event, he defeated Zain is a showmatch at the end of the event. They finally met in bracket proper at this event, where RapMonster won the set in a rather dominant 3-1, for an upset factor of 8. A particularly infamous moment took place in the first game, where RapMonster finished a combo with a [[misfire]], leading him to pop-off mid-set. With {{Sm|Cody Schwab}} being upset by {{Sm|Swift|p=Maryland}} (upset factor 8) and {{Sm|Hungrybox}} being upset by {{Sm|Soonsay}} (upset factor 4), not only were all three of the [[SSBMRank 2025]]'s top 3 sent into Losers before top 8, but as they were in the same bracket path, only one of them could make it into Top 8. That player ended up being Cody Schwab, who eliminated Zain 3-2 for 17th, the first time Zain had placed double-digits at an event without sandbagging since {{Trn|GENESIS 5}} in January 2018, and Hungrybox 3-0 for 9th; Hungrybox therefore was unable to defend his title from [[Tournament:GENESIS X2|the previous event]]. Conversely, despite his victory over Zain, RapMonster was unable to make top 8, due to having to face two {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} players, {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} and {{Sm|Salt}}, in order to do so. This Top 8 was notable for being the first GENESIS with none of the [[Five Gods]] in Top 8, and the first major with Hungrybox entering but no gods in Top 8 (after it similarly happened with {{Sm|Mang0}} at {{Trn|Nounsvitational 2024}}). | The most anticipated set at the tournament was between {{Sm|Zain}}, the best player in the world, and {{Sm|RapMonster}}, a rising star from the previous year.

Alongside RapMonster's run were respectable performances from numerous mid-tier players, many of them either outplacing their seeds or making surprise upsets. {{Sm|Axe}} and Swift both placed 17th with {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, while {{Sm|Daniel|p=New York}} placed 25th with {{SSBM|Yoshi}}. Despite not making it into the bracket phase, {{Sm|IuDKing}} also made an upset over {{Sm|OG Kid}}. The most notable mid-tier run outside of RapMonster, however, was {{Sm|Dial M}}'s run: at the age of 14, he defeated {{Sm|Ossify}}, {{Sm|Gahtzu}}, {{Sm|Grab}}, and {{Sm|Daniel|p=New York}} to place 17th | Alongside RapMonster's run were respectable performances from numerous mid-tier players, many of them either outplacing their seeds or making surprise upsets. {{Sm|Axe}} and Swift both placed 17th with {{SSBM|Pikachu}}, while {{Sm|Daniel|p=New York}} placed 25th with {{SSBM|Yoshi}}.

Despite being knocked into Losers early, Cody Schwab went on another long Losers run, winning game 5 sets against {{Sm|Salt}} in Losers Semi-Finals, {{Sm|Soonsay}} in Losers Finals, and {{Sm|Jmook}} in the Grand Finals Reset to win his second GENESIS title. With Cody Schwab facing Jmook in Grand Finals, this was the first GENESIS where the winning team of ''Melee'' doubles faced off in the Grand Finals of ''Melee'' singles. | Despite being knocked into Losers early, Cody Schwab went on another long Losers run, winning game 5 sets against {{Sm|Salt}} in Losers Semi-Finals, {{Sm|Soonsay}} in Losers Finals, and {{Sm|Jmook}} in the Grand Finals Reset to win his second GENESIS title.
