The first big Smash Ultimate tournament of the year is here with Luminosity Makes BIG Moves from New York City featuring some of North America’s most elite talent.

The big question, if the two face off, will be what fighter Sparg0 decides on. After switching from Ageis to his trusty Cloud at WTT, the Mexican wiped the floor with his Sonic rival only to get crushed the next time they fought. Could Sparg0’s Corrin or Pyra/Mythra make a return?

Like otherLuminosityevents, this tournament will feature aSteve ban, meaning that the game’s most controversial fighter won’t be available.
