Umebura SP10 Preview – Top Players to Watch

Acola

Steve has long been one of the most controversial characters in Smash Bros Ultimate. The Japanese Steve main is one of his best players too. Far from just exceeding at Steve, he’s one of the top active players in the entire game. He’s coming off of a strong run at recent tournament series instalments like this and could go all the way at Umebura SP10.

Glutonny

The next major player to watch at Umebura SP10 is one of the strongest non-Japanese players in attendance. The French Wario main is attending this tournament, can he beat the best Japanese players on their home turf? Recently he’s had strong finishes at Ultimate Fighting Arena 2023 and Watch the Throne.

Miya

Miya is a Game and Watch main heading to Umebura. He’s one of the top 5 Japanese players and is coming into the tournament having just won Delta 7 at the end of 2023. He’s definitely one of the biggest players to watch.

Kameme

Kameme is the final player we’re highlighting from Umebura SP10. He’s excelled playing a more unconventional pick in the Smash roster, Sora. He’s been placing well in recent tournaments and could go all the way at this event.

Those are some of the top players to watch at Umebura SP10. While this event is just one of a larger series, there are most of the major players in the region turning up. If you’ve been missing competitive Smash over the brief holiday break, this is the perfect event to get back into it.
