Super Smash Bros[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
After a 11-month drought where he failed to win a single major, the longest drought since he returned from his first hiatus,Armada was able to win his first major tournament sinceEVO 2017. He did so through Losers, initially falling toLeffen 1-3 in Winners Semi-Final before tearing through the Losers bracket, defeatingZain 3-0,Mew2King 3-1, and Leffen in the runback 3-1, before defeatingHungrybox twice, 3-1 in both sets. This was notably the last event where Armada defeated Leffen, as their final set against each other atEVO 2018 resulted in a victory for Leffen.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]
TheSmash 4 event was won by #11 seedVoiD, who won the first major of his tournament career. VoiD first defeated #6 seedMistake 3-1 and #3 seedDabuz 3-1 (upset factor 4), his first and only win over Dabuz at a ranked event, in order to make top 8. He then fought a 5-game set against #15 seedLight, which included a reverse 3-0 and coming close to losing the 4th game on multiple occasions, before meeting #5 seedSalem, who had just defeated the #1 seed,MkLeo (upset factor 4). Preventing a reverse 3-0 from Salem, VoiD moved on to Grand Finals, only the second time he had made Grand Finals at a major. He eventually faced off against Salem yet again, Salem having defeated MkLeo again in Losers Finals, and VoiD was able to take the set 3-1. VoiD's victory at the event was the firstSheik major victory since she received nerfs in patch1.1.6, made him the first non-ZeRo Sheik player to win a major, and was a shining spot in his overall-weak season. In addition, this performance began a small resurgence for Sheik inSmash 4's final year.
Outside of VoiD's run, this event notably featured several players seeded outside the top 8 make top 8: alongside the aforementioned VoiD and Light, #10 seedElegant, #21 seedShoyo James, and #34 seedRags all made top 8. After losing to #7 seedkomorikiri 2-3, Elegant was able to claw his way into top 8 by defeating rising star and #25 seedSDX 3-0, #16 seedNed 3-0, and #13 seedtyroy 3-1, becoming Elegant's first major top 8 since the2GG Championship. Likewise, Shoyo James defeated #12 seedCaptainZack 3-1 in Winners and komorikiri 3-2 to make his second top 8 of his career. Finally, after falling toRalphie 0-2 right before top 64, Rags made a long Losers run in the top 64 bracket, where he notably defeated #14 seedRaito 3-2, #18 seedAlly 3-2, and #9 seedCosmos 3-2 (upset factor 4) to make his first and only major top 8. On the other hand, aside from komorokiri, who placed 9th, andTweek andNairo, both of whom DQd, the other top 8 seeds who did not make top 8 were Mistake, who after losing to VoiD lost to Ally 2-3 for 17th; #8 seedMr.R, who lost to Cosmos and Dabuz for 9th.
Top 8 notoriously featured a 4-minute long set between Rags and Elegant. Elegant only took 6% on the first game, while conversely defeated Rags in less than 30 seconds. Elegant ultimately lost only one stock in the entire set, in the final game.
Project M[edit]
After placing top 8 at every single major he attended since 2016, including placing 2nd atSmash 'N' Splash 2,Low Tier City 4, andOlympus,Lunchables was finally able to win his first major, winning the event after defeatingSwitch in the reset. As he predominantly usedRoy at the tournament, Lunchables' victory became the first time a Roy player has won a major in bothProject M andSmash Bros. as a whole.
