GENESIS 3

A third tournament was not announced until 2013, but that effort was eventually cancelled because of scheduling conflicts with other tournaments, particularly Apex in New Jersey. In August 2015 GENESIS 3 was again announced and eventually occurred from January 15–18, 2016 in San Jose at the San Jose Convention Center and City National Civic Amphitheater. The tournament was sponsored by Nintendo.[4] Tournament organizers initially planned to allow top ranked players to automatically advance to the top bracket, but backed off after backlash from social media and community figures.[5] This event is the second largest Smash event ever (behind EVO 2015) and the largest community run event.

It was again won by Adam "Armada" Lindgren over Joseph "Mango" Marquez, with the grand finals being a repeat of the previous two tournaments.[6][7] Wii U was won by Gonzalo "ZeRo" Barrios over Samuel "Dabuz" Buzby.[8] Smash 64 was won by Japanese player wario, who was able to attend the tournament from a crowd fund.

Also through a fundraiser, a $500 "Bobby Scar Award" was awarded to fifth place; it was named after the Smasher and commentator Scar, who made a run at the first GENESIS, placing 6th. It was given to SFAT after PPMD said he didn't have motivation playing more.

In crew battles, team Hungrybox won the Smash Draft crew battles and Japan beat SoCal to take the regional crew battles.

In the 4th installment of the Melee Games, UC Irvine took the title, beating Georgia Tech.

A documentary about the Smash 64 scene called The 64 Story: Genesis 3 was shot at G3.[9]
