Sumabato SP 45 was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate major held in Daito City, Osaka Prefecture, on March 3rd, 2024.
Tournament summary[edit]
With several of Japan's rising stars of late 2023-start of 2024 such as Doramigi, Rarukun or Snow as well as Miya, second best player in Japan, in attendance, it's the first Sumabato event to reach major status since Sumabato SP Ultimate in September 2023.
The first seed Miya won the event with little effort, only dropping 5 games in total (1 to #33 seed Te-sHi, 2 to #4 seed Snow, and 1 for each set against #3 seed Raru), making him the first player in 2024 to have multiple majors wins (although it's his third major win in the 2024.1 season as he won DELTA 7 FAT, which took place in 2023).
The top 8 remained mostly similar to the seeding, as only 3 of the top 8 seeds couldn't make top 8. #6 seed Umeki was eliminated at 13th after losing to #59 seed Denkota 1-2 (Upset factor 7) and #30 seed Lapi 1-3 (UF 5), #7 seed Karaage lost to #10 seed MASA and Lapi (UF 4) for 17th in two game 5 sets and #5 seed Jogibu lost his sets against #60 seed Yadon 1-2 (UF 7) and #28 seed Navy 2-3 (UF 5), finishing at 25th, his worst placement since Sumabato SP 38 in May 2023.
In replacement, #10 seed MASA, #12 seed alice and #24 seed Shupi made top 8. MASA finished at 5th, losing to #2 seed Doramigi 0-3 and Snow 2-3, upsetting Karaage but also #8 seed Ryuoh 3-1, while alice also placed 5th, including wins over #22 seed Yone_pi and Shupi, who placed 7th, notably defeating #25 seed Kuroponzu and Lapi in two game 5 sets to make his first top 8 at a major. Raru's second place and Snow's third place confirms their previous breakout performances, as they both defeated Doramigi (Raru in winner semis 3-2 and Snow in losers semis 3-1) for 4th.
Several others Japanese top players notably underperformed. #9 seed Rizeasu was eliminated at 33rd after losing to #265 seed core (UF 10, the biggest of the tournament) in his first set, and #13 seed Shirayuki 0-3. #11 seed Lv.1 also finished 33rd after losing to Yone_Pi before falling into Jogibu's loser's run, both in 1-3. Lastly, #17 seed sssr lost to #48 seed Meiki 1-2 and #64 seed Boarden (UF 3) 0-3 for 49th.
