Trivia

• This is the first time Armada was not participating at a Smash Summit tournament, having announced his retirement from Melee singles a few months prior.
  • This is also the first time Axe was not initially invited to Smash Summit, although he later qualified by being the second highest non-qualifier at The Big House 8.
• Smash Summit 7 is the first Summit tournament where a non-US smasher was not voted in, breaking the trend that started in the original Smash Summit.
  • This is also the first Summit tournament to only have five people voted in, as opposed to the usual six, since Beyond the Summit invited eleven players.
• Swedish Delight at Smash Summit 7 marks the longest hiatus a player has had between Smash Summits. His most recent Smash Summit before this was the first Smash Summit.
