- The vote-in process for Smash Summit 11 achieved a number of firsts in comparison to prior Summits:
- This is the first Summit where the majority of players voted in were sponsored (Aklo and Yingling being the exceptions at the time of the voting process).
- Hungrybox received the most votes for any first round Summit vote-in player in Summit history (around 120,000 votes).
- Wizzrobe received the most votes for any player that would ultimately be eliminated from the voting phase (around 138,000 votes).
- Yingling received the most votes for any vote-in player in Summit history (around 175,000 votes).
- Yingling's campaign garnered attention due to his underdog status and his lead throughout most of the voting phase. A few notable players, including HugS and LSD, voiced their support for Yingling,[7][8] and many other players changed their Twitter profile picture to that of a fish from SpongeBob SquarePants and their Twitter name to "I am Nicholas Yingling."
