In contrast to being nearly seven years old, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is hosting its largest tournament yet in 2025, attracting the top-tier global players. Yet, what’s puzzling is that it offers no prize money, a stark contrast to the intense level of competition involved.
On May 4th, gamers worldwide will journey to Japan for the Kagaribi#13 tournament, where they’ll showcase their Smash Ultimate skills.
The upcoming Kagaribi event is already highly anticipated on the Smash calendar, given that many of the world’s best players, including Acola, Miya, Hurt, Zackray, Shuton, and Asimo, are Japanese. However, this next edition promises to be a unique one.
This upcoming Smash Ultimate competition is expected to surpass all previous tournaments, including Genesis, EVO, Supernova, and others, in terms of participants’ skill level. However, unlike these other events, the victor will not receive any monetary prizes.
Kagaribi#13 becomes Smash Ultimate’s first “Superpremier”
As a passionate gamer, it’s not surprising that I find myself among the global competitors who journey from far-off lands like Europe and North America to participate in this esteemed tournament in Japan.
However, for Kagaribi#13, everyone is here.
In addition to the previously mentioned Japanese celebrities, the world’s number one player, FaZe Sparg0, will also be present. He’ll be accompanied by a team as strong as the Avengers, including MkLeo, Zomba, Tweek, Sonix, Light, Glutonny, Riddles, Kola, Luugi, crêpe salée, Shadic, and others.
As a dedicated gamer, I’ve never imagined witnessing such an incredible event. The KAGARIBI#13 tournament has taken the crown for the most impressive Ultimate tournament ever, rising from a brand new elite tier, Superpremier.

Indeed, considering the impressive lineup of players, LumiRank, a renowned Smash ranking service, has established a unique tournament level specifically for this occasion – Superpremier.
One might expect a substantial monetary reward to accompany all the excitement, but surprisingly, that’s not the case. Regardless of whether you win or lose, the only thing up for grabs is the right to boast about your victory.
This is because of government regulations against gambling, which date back many years.
Despite the buzz surrounding potential development of Super Smash Bros. 6 for the Switch 2, it’s quite possible that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is currently in its final phase as the premier title in the series.
Winning this title, regardless of whether there’s no prize money involved, ensures the victor a permanent spot in historical records.
