Trivia

• This is the first time Beyond the Summit is holding a Smash tournament outside of Melee, although VGBootCamp held a similar invitational for Smash Wii U in December 2017, called Smash 4 Boot Camp.
  • ZeRo, MkLeo, Nairo, VoiD, and Dabuz were invited to both Smash 4 Boot Camp and Smash Ultimate Summit.
• Armada, Leffen, Mew2King, and Mang0 have all competed at Melee Smash Summits, making them the first to compete in Summits for two Smash games.
  • While this is Armada, Mew2King, and Mang0's first time playing at a Summit event outside of Melee, Leffen did so already, for Dragon Ball FighterZ at Summit of Power in 2018.
  • Mew2King and Mang0 are the only players to attend all Smash Summits, regardless of game, as Leffen was unable to attend the first two Smash Summits due to Visa issues, and Armada retired shortly before Smash Summit 7.
