Arcamelee 4 was a Super Smash Bros. Melee superregional and Project+ regional tournament held in Lyon, France, from November 18th-19th, 2023. It was the fourth installment of the Arcamelee series, returning after a 4-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to singles and doubles events for Melee, the tournament also featured a Project+ singles bracket for the first time in the history of the tournament series.

With 279 entrants in the Melee singles event, Arcamelee 4 stands as the largest Melee tournament ever hosted in France, surpassing HFLAN Melee Edition 2017 which held the distinction for 6 years at 233 entrants.

Tournament summaryEdit

 

In Losers Semis of the Melee singles bracket, moky defeated Aklo 3-2 despite suffering two consecutive four-stock losses on games 2 and 3.

In a similar vein to what took place at Fête 3: By the Sea Grand Finals, Jmook's controller began to malfunction in game 4, while being down 1-2 against moky. The game was ultimately replayed after Jmook managed to find a suitable replacement, and he ultimately won 3-2. This sparked debate in the community on what the ruling for such an event should be.

TriviaEdit

  • Outside of locals, this tournament marked Pricent's first Melee singles event since Smash Summit 9, roughly 3 years and 11 months prior.
  • Due to Aklo taking more stocks against moky in their set while winning less games, several people on social media have since dubbed their encounter the "Electoral College set".
