Smash Summit 14 is an ongoing Super Smash Bros. Melee invitational tournament. It is the fourteenth installment of the Smash Summit series for Melee, and is being held from November 3rd-6th, 2022 at the Summit Gaming House, a private residence house in Los Angeles, California, which is closed to the general public.

Due to complaints that took place during Smash Ultimate Summit 5 about the lower prize pool and single-day voting eliminations, plus a low increase in total shoppers, the voting process received an overhaul again. The vote totals were visible from the time the shop opened again, and vote-ins happened across four days with one player voted in each day, instead of all vote-ins happening in one day. 2 votes per $1 spent was back, but there were no bonuses for $50 and $100 purchases. There was a $5 voting pass for 100 votes and spending $25 or more granted 200 bonus votes, at a limit of one per person each. Registering for Mainstage 2022 and any of the qualifiers for The Arcadian also granted bonus votes.
