Everything about this tournament was just perfect. Sparg0 winning with Roy was so hype and showing everyone why he's one of the GOATs of ultimate. Sonix continues to be cursed by 2nd but with possibly his best losers run to date beating acola, miya, tweek, light, raru, asimo, and shadic and take sparg0 to game 5. Asimo being the highest Japanese player with some of the best Ryu gameplay I've seen from him ever Shadic remaining to be consistent, Marss once again back in action. Game 5 Acola is still very strong. Good shoutout runs to Hurt, Raru, Yoshidora, Dabuz, MkLeo, Peabnut, Zomba etc All the upsets were crazy. And for melee news, DK top 3 at a supermajor thanks to Junebug. And fun fact, the winners of both melee and ultimate were doubles partners in the exhibition Mang0 and Sparg0

Man, Sonix is the goat for that losers run but bro I just felt so bad that he probably prepared for every character that Sparg0 had BESIDES the roy (he two stocked the aegis), got caught off guard, and lost in a GAME 5. Big props to Sparg0 on taking the event though. Raru's run was also insane it was just such a hard draw to get Sonix in losers, had he fought Asimo he very likely could have got 3rd

That’s how it goes every time spargo beats sonix. Like at watch the throne where spargo went back to cloud because he was winning with him in friendlies after he lost as corrin at coinbox irl. Sonix is just a computer who will learn every matchup in the game so spargo needs to catch him off guard

That’s actually wild that Japan had that much in their favor and still lost the tournament with 5 of their people in top 8. Them being in top 8 worked against them cause if they were sent to losers bracket then that meant they have to fight people from their country. Even before top 8 they did not have it easy. Raru almost get reverse 3-0 by kola so it shows that the NA region is not a pushover. We only needed 3 people to win the tournament while Japan needed 5 to win as the result showed.

Two things I realized when I watched this tournament and now am reflecting on it: 1. I stayed for the players. 2. Smashcon helped me realize that everyone is goated: Sparg0 for getting some good wins and just being back to form and winning with roy. Initially I was upset that Sonix got second but knowing that he was smiling and taking pictures with people afterwards proves he’s just goated and has a goated mental. Acola for taking his mask off against Leo was goated, MKLeo reverse 3-0ing Luugi was goated, Japanese Mario vs Luigi for a top 8 qualifier was goated, Marss being Marss was goated, Zomba and his personality is goated while also caring about going far, the FGC players all praising Asimo for being goated, Shadic for being SHADIC and constantly improving is inspiring and goated. Light and Tweek constantly being a threat is goated. At the end of the day I have no ill will towards anyone and this tournament made me realize that I don’t really care about the rankings anymore as much as a spectator, I just care about the players more. Such a good tournament.

Because the ranking is about consistency and Spargo missed a lot of top 8. Now he got 3rd in Kowloon Kagaribi and won Supernova (probably will be the most stacked and important tournament in the yesr). If he keeps with this results he can be top 8 but that happened the last year, he started so good but then he got at 49 in Smashcon losing against AARON.
