Ikesuma 4 was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Toshima, Tokyo, Kantō on April 29th, 2026, as the first of two major events of Japan's 2026 Golden Week.
Tournament summary[edit]
After a nearly two-year hiatus, the Ikesuma series returned for its fourth iteration. Alongside several top Japanese players, the event also featured several notable European players, including Tarik, Sisqui, and NaetorU, and was the Japan debut for Chilean Smasher Toon. Due to the international talent at the event, the event became an S tier on the UltRank 2026. However, the event was still missing many top 20 players, including many of Japan's best players at that time. As such, many sources, including SmashWiki and Liquipedia, do not consider this event a supermajor.
After finishing 2nd at two majors and winning an event with a disputed major status on SmashWiki, Yaura finally won an undisputed major, achieving Samus and Dark Samus's first-ever major win in Ultimate, as well as Samus's first major win in any Smash title since Jouske won the Super Smash Bros. major Kanto 2014 over a decade earlier. The win came with a rather dominant performance, as Yaura lost only two games during the entire event — one against Saya and Toon each. In addition, this event served as a runback for Yaura against Toon, as one of Yaura's closest major wins prior to the event was What's the Daily Smash Advice?, in which he lost to Toon 2-3 in the reset. On the other hand, Toon's 2nd-place finish marks one of the highest Japanese debut performances from an international player. In the rest of top 8, this was Saya and Harupoyo's first top 8 at a major, while Tarik became the second European player to finish top 8 at at least one major in each of Ultimate's three superregions; his tournament path included winning a game 5 timeout set against KEN by only 2%.
Outside of top 8, half of the players seeded to make top 8 were eliminated prior: #3 seed KEN was eliminated by uame for 17th, #5 seed Tea lost to Raki and DieGorou for 13th, #6 seed Shirayuki lost to Gorioka and Saya for 9th, and #7 seed tameigo lost to Saya and Yopi for 25th. In addition, both Sisqui and Yone_pi drowned in pools and went 2-2, with Sisqui losing to Kabokabo and Mao and Yone_pi losing to Midorimaru and Katana; Sisqui's underperformance was due to his controller's joystick malfunctioning.[1] Conversely, there were several players who placed higher than their seed by a noticeable amount. This included #68 seed Nako, who defeated Gorioka and syadou to place 17th, and #79 seed Etish, who defeated Noi and JY to also finish 17th. Finally, Shinda Lion's 25th-place finish tied with Komegura's performance at UltCore as Ganondorf's best major finish in Ultimate, continuing a streak of strong performances with a character considered the worst in the game competitively.
