GENESIS 3, like the two GENESIS events prior, featured another {{Sm|Armada}} vs. {{Sm|Mang0}} grand finals.

After a 3-1 bracket reset, Armada emerged victorious in the second set 3-1, claiming his second GENESIS title.
{{Sm|Mew2King}} was notably upset by {{Sm|SFAT}} in winners' quarters and by {{Sm|Nintendude}} in losers' round of 12, finishing 9th.

==Trivia==
* GENESIS 3 is the second tournament to surpass 1,000 entrants on more than one game, succeeding [[EVO 2015]], while preceding [[EVO 2016]].
* GENESIS and [[Apex (tournament series)|Apex]] are the only tournament series to have hosted at least one of the largest Smash tournaments for each of the four main games (excluding ''[[Project M]]'').
* GENESIS 3 took place at the same time and in the same venue as Furcon 2016.
* GENESIS 3 Melee Singles Grand Finals was a repeat of the last two editions, with {{Sm|Armada}} and {{Sm|Mango}} facing off.
** There were also several other key similarities between GENESIS 3 and the first two editions, including:
*** Not only did Mango and Armada face off in Grand Finals, but Mango came from Losers bracket while Armada was in Winners, as with the first two editions.
*** Mango was taken out by an Arizona player in Winners bracket ({{Sm|Axe}}), and defeated said Arizona player in a rematch in Losers bracket decisively. This is parallel to [[GENESIS 2]], where Mango was defeated in Winners by {{Sm|Taj}} and defeated him later in Losers bracket.
*** Mango defeated Hungrybox in Losers Finals to advance to Grand Finals, as with [[GENESIS]].
**** Mango also defeated Hungrybox in Losers bracket at GENESIS 2, although it was not in Losers Finals.
