Epita Smash Arena 2 was a Europeanmajor held by SSBUP and Cycom during February 23rd-24th, 2008 in Villejuif, France. It held the record for being the largest EuropeanSuper Smash Bros. Melee tournament for nearly seven years before being surpassed byB.E.A.S.T 5, and also held the record being the largest French tournament for eight years before being surpassed bySmashdown World. This tournament was advertised on theOfficial French Nintendo Magazine as well as in video game stores across France and as a result there was a record attendance for the tournament. Notably, this was the last major tournament before B.E.A.S.T 5 in 2015 where one of the Five Gods did not win, as well as the first uncontested major tournament where a solo Sheik won; Amsah remained as the only solo-Sheik player to win a major until 2023, whenJmook wonGENESIS 9.
