Trivia

• Zain's third-place finish marks the highest ever placing by a voted-in player at a Melee Smash Summit event to date.
  • The record was previously held by Duck, who placed seventh at Smash Summit 3, and ChuDat, who placed seventh at Smash Summit Spring 2017.
    • In addition, aMSa placed seventh at this event, which would have added a third tie to the previous record.
• This is the first Smash Summit that S2J did not participate in after being voted in every single Smash Summit previously.
• This is also the first Smash Summit where the logo does not include a fist punching through something.
