The winner of this bout, and NEW Nintendo World Champion...

For the first time since 1990, someone wears the crown of the Nintendo World Champion.
John "John Numbers" Goldberg triumphed over a series of invited guests and national qualifiers to become the champion, defeating Cosmo Walker in the final round of head-to-head Super Mario Maker.
The tournament format saw 16 players compete in a serious of elimination challenges leading up to the grand final.
The list of games:
As a side attraction, Reggie Fils-Amie faced off against 2014 E3 Smash Bros champion Hungrybox in an exhibition with Reggie using Ryu. Hungrybox walked over Reggie 12-2 in a 4 minute match at Final Destination.
You can see the entire event here:
Reggie was pretty salty after not only getting Roflstomped, but also Hungrybox taunting/teasing him through the entire time. I don't miss being friends with "serious" smashers, that kind of attitude is rampant.

They were just trying to put on a show. I don't follow competitive Smash super closely, but I do tune in for most of the majors, and Hungrybox isn't usually one to taunt. He actually goes out of his way to be a good sport most of the time, even when he loses. It would have been pretty boring if he just shook Reggie's hand, exchanged a couple pleasantries, and walked off the stage (which is standard tournament fare, at least now).
