The fourth annual The Smashies award show just wrapped up, ending the second day of Super Smash Con 2022.
The Smashies was a fun-filled hour of laughs, good memories, and music that had players from all games present come together to celebrate the ever-growing Smash community. Some of the best moments from the past few years were highlighted at The Smashies, including Cody “iBDW” Schwab’s anti-pop off, MkLeo and Sparg0’s nine-round Grand Finals at Smash World Tour, and even some epic Smash 64 plays.
Here are the results of The Smashies.
Most Improved Ultimate Player: Sparg0
Sparg0 started off as MkLeo’s shadow of sorts when he started practicing with the top player in Mexico. However, the teenage prodigy quickly rose up the ranks, often meeting MkLeo at the grand final of Smash majors all over North America.
Taking home the title of Ultimate's Most Improved player, the winner of our first award is the one and only @Sparg0ssb! #SSC22

Best Melee Comeback: Mang0
Mang0’s comeback in 2022 was huge, although not enough to land him in the top 10 of the MPGR. Despite how impressive that was, this award wasn’t for his comeback over the season; it was actually for his exciting moment against Zain. Despite initially stating that he wasn’t planning to go to Smash Con, Mang0 was able to step on stage and receive his award.
There's nothing more exciting than a good comeback, as proved by @C9Mang0's unforgettable comeback against Zain!
Congrats to Mang0 for winning the award for Melee's Best Comeback! #SSC22

Best Smash 64 Comeback: KD3
While the gameplay was entertaining, what truly got the crowd rolling was the low quality of the Smash 64 clips. The one that one, in fact, appeared to be a phone recording of a TikTok clip being played. Despite the lower quality streams for Smash 64, the community is just as passionate about the OG Smash game as they always have been.
Never give up and you can pull off anything, as evidenced by the comeback that earned KD3 the award for Smash 64's Best Comeback! #SSC22

Most Improved Melee Player: Jmook
Presenters noted that it’s quite difficult to improve at a game like Melee, making this award something special. Melee has been around for more than 20 years now and is full of seasoned players who have competed for 10+ years. Despite these OG players and the Gods, Jmook was able to work his way up and show incredible improvement, even landing the third spot in the MPGR.
From unranked to 3rd on the MPGR, @jakedirado is the winner of the Melee Most Improved player award! #SSC22

Best Smash 64 Combo: Afro
Afro might not have been able to show up to the Smashies this year, but he did take the award for Best Smash 64 Combo home over players like Prince, who recently won Evo’s Smash 64 Combo Contest.
Nothing blows our mind like a great combo. Congratulations to the winner of the Best Smash 64 Combo award: @SSBAfro! #SSC22

Best Popoff: iBDW
iBDW’s anti pop-off against Hungrybox was a classic moment in Melee history; therefore, it only made sense to have Hungrybox present the award. As iBDW couldn’t show up due to his hurt wrist, Hungrybox joked that he would keep the award since iBDW had “stolen his moment” with his anti pop-off strat.
After changing the meta single-handedly, @iBDWSSBM is the winner of the Best Popoff award! #SSC22
