Unlike previous installments, the singles bracket was not decided by initial seeding but through four group stages in the GSL format, which is a four player double-elimination bracket without a grand final. The pool order was decided by the top four seeds (Armada, Hungrybox, Mango and Mew2King) who selected players in snake order.

==Trivia==
*A Summit tournament organizer confirmed that the Summit team decided against numbering Smash Summit events after the [[Smash Summit 3|third entry]].<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/5prnxl/smash_summit_4_announced/dcta2ny/ Whatiship's comment]. Reddit.com/r/smashbros. Retrieved 2017-1-23.</ref> However, the fifth event was revealed to be named {{Trn|Smash Summit 5}}, returning to being numbered.
*{{Sm|Leffen}}'s name was uncommonly placed as "L3ffen" on the first promotional image for the tournament, which happens to be how his [[YouTube]] and Instagram username is stylized.
*This tournament broke the seven-year record for the largest singles pot in all of ''Smash'' history at $51,448, beating ''Brawl'' at {{Trn|MLG Dallas 2010}}'s $35,000.
