TriviaEdit
- This marks the end of Armada's four-tourney streak of winning Smash Summit tournaments.
- This tournament held the former record of the largest singles pot in all of Smash history, worth around ~ $80,000. It was beaten by Smash Summit 11 four years later. The first place winner, Hungrybox, won a grand total of $29,315.30. That was also the record for the largest singles payout in Smash history until Mango beat it for winning Smash Summit 11.
