Alongside being the largest Japanese ''Smash'' event up to that point, Kagaribi 12 featured many of Japan's best players, with, only 7 of the [[LumiRank 2023/Japan Top 200|top 50 best players in Japan in 2023]] not in attendance (those being {{Sm|ProtoBanham}}, {{Sm|Jagaimo}}, {{Sm|Atelier}}, {{Sm|HIKARU}}, {{Sm|Sigma}}, {{Sm|Senra}} and {{Sm|Showers}}). Kagaribi 12 also featured some of the best players from North America (notably {{Sm|Sparg0}}, {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Zomba}}, {{Sm|MKBigBoss}}, {{Sm|Maister}}, and {{Sm|Big D}}) as well as {{Sm|Glutonny}} from Europe and {{Sm|Kinaji}} from Oceania.


Many significant upsets happened in the early bracket. The first notable international player upset was #26 seed Big D, who was double-eliminated by #997 seed {{Sm|Ubuge}} 1-2 and 0-2 (upset factor 10) to place 257th, the lowest international placement of the tournament as well as Big D's lowest offline placement ever. Additionally, several top Japanese players were sent to losers very early: #83 seed {{Sm|Ezs}} notoriously lost to one of the English commentators of the tournament, #942 seed {{Sm|Sean from school}} 0-2 (upset factor 7), #46 seed {{Sm|Omuatsu}} lost to #302 seed {{Sm|Az}} 1-2 (upset factor 6), #37 seed {{Sm|Eim}} lost to #220 seed {{Sm|DenKOTA}} 0-2 (upset factor 5), and #30 seed {{Sm|Lv.1}} lost to #227 seed {{Sm|No.8}} 1-2 (upset factor 6). Despite the upset, Lv.1 managed to make a 7 set losers run to place 25th, while Ezs finished at 193rd after losing to Omuatsu; Omuatsu himself was eliminated at 129th, losing to #135 seed {{Sm|Yoshiko}} 0-3 (upset factor 4), whilst Eim was eliminated at 97th, losing to #80 seed {{Sm|Nizemamo}} 0-3.
Not only is Kagaribi 12 one of the largest Smash Ultimate events of all time, it is also one of the most stacked. For Japanese players, only 7 of the [[LumiRank 2023/Japan Top 200|top 50 best players in Japan in 2023]] didn't attend (those being {{Sm|ProtoBanham}}, {{Sm|Jagaimo}}, {{Sm|Atelier}}, {{Sm|HIKARU}}, {{Sm|Sigma}}, {{Sm|Senra}} and {{Sm|Showers}}). Kagaribi 12 also features some of the best players from NA ({{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Zomba}}, {{Sm|MKBigBoss}}, {{Sm|Maister}}, {{Sm|Big D}}, etc...), including the current best player in NA, {{Sm|Sparg0}}, as well as {{Sm|Glutonny}} for Europe and {{Sm|Kinaji}} for Oceania.
