The Big House 4 is the sixth-largest ''Melee'' tournament of all time (with 574 entrants) and the second-largest ''Project M'' tournament of all time (with 333 entrants); additionally, the event was the largest Midwest ''Melee'' tournament in history, surpassing the previous record set by [[MELEE-FC Diamond]] in 2007, and the tournament is also both the largest two-day ''Smash'' tournament of all time, as well as the largest to run round-robin pools.
The Big House 4 currently stands as [[List of largest Smash tournaments|one of the largest ''Project M'' tournaments to date]], with 333 entrants for ''Project M''; additionally, the event was the largest Midwest ''Melee'' tournament at the time, surpassing the previous record set by [[MELEE-FC Diamond]] in 2007, and the tournament was also the largest to run round-robin pools.


Amid growing concerns over average gameplay time in version 3.02, The Big House 4 was the first major tournament to use three stocks in ''Project M'' games instead of the previous standard of four.

In the ''Melee'' singles bracket, after losing to {{Sm|Mew2King}}'s {{SSBM|Sheik}} 0-3 in winners' semifinals, {{Sm|Mango}} swept through losers' bracket, defeating {{Sm|Lucky}} 3-2 in losers' quarterfinals, {{Sm|Armada}} 3-1 in losers' semifinals, and {{Sm|Leffen}} 3-1 in losers' finals, finally beating {{Sm|Mew2King}} in two consecutive 3-1 sets of grand finals to win the tournament. {{Sm|Leffen}} reached winners' finals for the first time in a major American tournament, defeating top professional players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}} and {{Sm|Armada}}; his performance has solidified his position among the best players of ''Melee''. Hungrybox lost to Leffen 2-3 in winners' quarters, as well as to Lucky 1-3 in losers' bracket, unexpectedly finishing at 9th place, his worst tournament placing since 2007. A large amount of other upsets occurred in ''Melee'' singles, with {{Sm|Kels}} eliminating {{Sm|Axe}} 3-1 in losers' bracket to make it to top 8, and {{Sm|Kalamazhu}} making a long run through losers' bracket to secure 9th place, defeating {{Sm|KirbyKaze}} and {{Sm|MacD}}, before losing in an extremely close set 2-3 against {{Sm|Hax}}.
