TriviaEdit
- Zain's third-place finish marks the highest ever placing by a voted-in player at a Melee Smash Summit event to date.
- The record was previously held by Duck, who placed seventh at Smash Summit 3, and ChuDat, who placed seventh at Smash Summit Spring 2017.
- In addition, aMSa placed seventh at this event, which would have added a third tie to the previous record.
- The record was previously held by Duck, who placed seventh at Smash Summit 3, and ChuDat, who placed seventh at Smash Summit Spring 2017.
- Outside of locals, this is the first tournament that Hungrybox failed to make Grand Finals since Super Smash Con 2017 nearly nine months prior.
- This is the first Smash Summit that S2J did not participate in after being voted in every single Smash Summit previously.
- This is also the first Smash Summit where the logo does not include a fist punching through something.
