'''UltCore Second''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' [[List of major tournaments (SSBU)|major]] held in Nagoya City, [[Chūbu|Aichi Prefecture]], on January 27th, 2024.

==Tournament summary==
This tournament was initially B+ tier on the [[LumiRank 2024.1]]; however, following many major upsets that took place at {{Trn|DELTA 8}}, in particular upsets from {{Sm|TamaPDaifuku}}, {{Sm|Akakikusu}} and {{Sm|Lv.1}} (all players who were at this tournament), the event's score rose significantly and allowed it to reach {{SSBU|major}} status.

This tournament, which was won by the first seed {{Sm|Glutonny}}, made him the third player to achieve the [[Ultimate Triple Crown]]. Glutonny not only became the first non-Japanese player to achieve this milestone, but also became the second non-Japanese player to win a Japanese major. He won the tournament convincingly, only dropping 6 games in total (2 to {{SSBU|Falco}} main {{Sm|DEAR}}, 1 to {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} main {{Sm|Kaeru}}, 2 to {{Sm|Fui}} and 1 to {{Sm|MASA}}).

The number of upsets were relatively low for a Japanese major, as only 3 of the top 8 seeds failed to make top 8. #6 seed {{Sm|Toriguri}} was eliminated at 13th after losing to Joker's mains twice in #11 seed {{Sm|Gorioka}} 1-3 and #3 {{Sm|Tsubaki}} 2-3. #8 seed {{Sm|ApolloKage}} also finished 13th after losing 1-3 to #9 seed MASA and #17 seed Fui 2-3 (upset factor 3). Lastly #4 seed Lv.1 placed 17th, losing to #13 seed {{Sm|Carmelo}} 0-3 (UF 4) and #7 seed Akakikusu 0-3. Replacing them were #9 seed MASA placing 7th, losing to Glutonny 1-3 and Tsubaki 2-3, #17 seed Fui, placing 5th after several upsets over #16 seed {{Sm|Lax}} 3-2, ApolloKage, #10 seed {{Sm|DIO}} 3-0 and Akakikusu 3-0 (UF 3), losing to Glutonny and #5 seed {{Sm|Snow|p=Japan}}, and lastly #14 seed TamaPDaifuku, his second breakout tournament after his second place at {{Trn|DELTA 7}}. En route to a 3rd place finish, TamaP first upset Tsubaki 3-0 (UF 5) and Gorioka before losing in winner semifinals to #2 seed {{Sm|Rizeasu}} 1-3. After a short loser's run, Tsubaki would lost once again to TamaP in loser's quarters in a close game 5 set. Lastly, the {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} player won his set versus Snow 3-1 (UF 3) before losing the runback against Rizeasu 1-3 to place 3rd.

The notable under-performances of the tournament include #16 seed {{Sm|Lax}}, losing to Fui 2-3 and #69 seed {{Sm|Muhyou Jyo}} 1-3 (UF 5) for 33rd, #21 seed {{Sm|Yn}} placing 49th after losing to #149 seed {{Sm|Jiga}} 1-2 (UF 6, the biggest of the tournament) and Muhyou Jyo 1-3 (UF 4), #15 seed {{Sm|Masha}}, who lost two close game 5 sets against #79 seed {{Sm|Kuribon}} (UF 5) and #37 {{Sm|Kurikomochi}} (UF 3) to place 65th, and #19 seed {{Sm|Miru}}, finishing at 65th place, losing to #46 seed {{Sm|Tora}} and #121 seed {{Sm|Penguins}} (UF 5) both in 0-3.
