This event is best known for #12 seed {{Sm|Nyonoknb}} and #62 seed {{Sm|Tsubaki|p=Shizuoka}}'s performances, which were considered their best up to that point. After having won his last two events without dropping a set, Nyonoknb prove that his victories were not a fluke by entering top 8 on the Winners side dropping a total of 4 games, 2 against both {{Sm|MeiKi}} and {{Sm|Raru}}. This run also included wins over {{Sm|Kurofune}} and {{Sm|Kaninabe}} prior to top 8, a win over {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}} in top 8, and going up 2-0 against {{Sm|Doramigi}}, though Nyonoknb was eventually reverse-sweeped. Tsubaki entered this tournament on a slump, having underperformed at many of his previous majors, with his last major top 8 being at {{Trn|UltCore Second}} on January 27th, 2024, and was sent to Losers relatively early by {{Sm|Hurt}} 2-3 at the start of Top 192. However, Tsubaki went on a 9-set Losers run, gathering a total upset factor of 39 along the way: his upsets include an upset factor 9 during his runback against Hurt 3-1, an upset factor 8 after defeating Raru 3-0, and two upset factor 6s after defeating international visitor {{Sm|Ouch!?}} 3-0 and {{Sm|KEN}} 3-2. Tsubaki's run was ultimately ended by Nyonoknb in Losers Semi-Finals, ending his run at 4th. | |||

Another notable event was {{Sm|acola}}'s character choice for top 8. As he only fought against Hurt and Doramigi in this bracket, two players known for being strong against his {{SSBU|Steve}}, acola opted to use {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} for the entirety of top 8, a choice that ultimately prove successful. He first won his runback against Hurt 3-1, defeating Hurt's {{SSBU|Sonic}} in the final two games, before winning a game-5, last-hit scenario against {{Sm|Doramigi}} to enter Grand Finals on the Winners side. Doramigi returned to face acola after defeating Nyonoknb 3-1, and won the first set of Grand Finals 3-1; however, acola held on and won the reset 3-0 to win the entire tournament, winning the final game without dropping a stock. Due to this character choice, acola became the only Mr. Game & Watch player that was not {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} to win an undisputed major/supermajor. In addition, Maesuma'TOP 2 became the second supermajor in a row where Steve was not used at all in the top 8, after {{Trn|Let's Make BIG Moves 2026}} the previous week. | Another notable event was {{Sm|acola}}'s character choice for top 8.
