'''Smash Ultimate Summit 4''' was a [[List of national tournaments|major]] ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' invitational tournament. It was the fourth installment of the [[Tournament:Smash Summit (series)|Smash Summit series]] for ''Ultimate'', and was held on March 3rd-6th, 2022 at the Summit Gaming House, a private residence house in Los Angeles, California, which is closed to the general public.

After months of placing in the top 3 at majors without winning, {{Sm|Sparg0}} finally claimed his first major victory after defeating {{Sm|MkLeo}} once and {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}} twice. {{Sm|ProtoBanham}} also saw an incredible run despite starting on the loser's side of the Group Stage, defeating {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, and MkLeo en route to a 3rd place finish. On the other hand, this marked the first offline singles tournament since {{Trn|Get On My Level 2019}} where MkLeo did not make grand finals, instead placing 4th.

==Trivia==
*{{Sm|Tweek}} became the first winner of a previous offline Smash Summit to not be invited to the following one, albeit from qualifying at {{Trn|Mainstage 2021}} before anyone was invited.
*A running joke among the Japanese players at the tournament was that they would say "Kazuya Mishima" before, during, and after playing in a match.
*{{Sm|ProtoBanham}} became the highest placing player in a Smash Summit that started the final bracket from loser's side, finishing 3rd. Prior to this, {{Sm|Hungrybox}} and {{Sm|iBDW}} finished 4th in {{Trn|Smash Summit 6}} and {{Trn|Smash Summit 8}} respectively after both starting the final bracket from loser's.
*During the event, {{Sm|Marss}} accidentally damaged a TV after throwing a ''Don't Break The Ice'' penguin at it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdGvBb3WCUM|title=Marss breaks TV}}</ref>
