Players to watch

Fresh off his second-place finish at Smash Ultimate Summit 5, Paris “Light” Ramirez is in a strong position to win Glitch: Regen. However, his projected path to victory includes a winners semis face-off against Brian “Cosmos” Kalu, who beat him the last time they played at Shine 2022.

Meanwhile, this will be Takuto “Kameme” Ono’s first American tournament since Let’s Make Big Moves in January of 2020. Since the return of offline events in 2021, Kameme has failed to put up consistently high-level results like he did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, he was recently ranked top 10 in Japan, suggesting he still has what it takes to make a deep run at any major.
