I Held a Smash Tournament to Find the Best Heavy In the World

Poppt1 organized an invitational tournament featuring some of the community's best players competing exclusively with heavyweight characters. Skyjay, Leon, Lukewarm, ChunkyKong, Johny, KilogramHours, Major, and Rickles battled it out using Incineroar, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Ganondorf, King K. Rool, and King Dedede to determine who could claim the title of best heavy in the world. The tournament format creates a unique competitive environment where only the game's slowest, most powerful characters are in play, fundamentally shifting how matchups develop and how matches play out compared to standard open ruleset tournaments. With commentary from LittleZReal alongside Poppt1, the event captures both the high-stakes competition and the distinctive gameplay that emerges when heavyweights dominate the bracket. This invitational showcases how restricting the character pool to a single archetype produces unexpected rivalries and strategies that might not surface in traditional competitions.
