Weds Night Fights x Orange County Spring 2019 2.6 was a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate superregional held in Santa Ana, California on June 12th, 2019, as the season finale to Weds Night Fights x Esports Arena Season 2.

Tournament summary[edit]

This event took place right after The Kid, the Goat, and the Mang0, and as such featured many players from outside the SoCal region. However, due to its close proximity to the aformentioned event and its status as a weekly despite being a special event with a higher prize pool, this tournament was not tiered on the Spring 2019 PGRU, although retroactive re-tiering from EazyFreezie that used the LumiRank methodology tiered the tournament as a B+ tier. Nevertheless, this event is one of the largest Smash tournaments in the Wednesday Night Fights series in terms of talent.

This event is known for being the largest Ultimate event won by a Duck Hunt player. On his path to victory, Raito also defeated many top players from the Smash 4 era, including FOW 2-0 and Larry Lurr 3-2, and fought a 10-set grand finals with Elegant, going to a last-hit situation in the final game. This event is also the largest event that Raito won in his entire Smash career.

In addition, this event is also known for being Sparg0's breakout event as he defeated VoiD 2-0, Elegant 2-0, and Kameme 2-0 to place 4th. His performance at the event placed him in the national spotlight not only because of his character choice of Cloud, who at that time many had dismissed as a shell of his Smash 4 self, but also because of his wins over several Smash veterans, especially VoiD, who was considered SoCal's best player and a contender for the top 10 in the game's early months. Sparg0's performance at the event led many to consider him one of the best Cloud players in the world, and as a result of this performance and other victories in SoCal, he was eventually ranked 2nd in SoCal despite being from Mexico.
