**As this tournament was the first event to count for 2023 rankings, Aklo's victory spawned numerous (truthful) jokes about how Link won Grand Finals of a modern ''Melee'' tournament before solo {{SSBM|Sheik}} (or any other top tier character) did.

**This is also the not the first time Aklo defended NYC from KoDoRiN in Grand Finals using Link, as Aklo had previously done so at [[The Nightclub VIP: iBDW|The Nightclub VIP]] as well.
