Zenith 2014 was a Super Smash Bros. and Project M major, and a Super Smash Bros. Melee superregional held by Alex Strife during August 2nd-3rd, 2014. It featured both singles and doubles events for each game, along with a Super Smash Bros. Brawl side event featuring a 2 stock, 5 minute ruleset for singles. It was the 7th-largest Project M tournament of all time, behind Apex 2014 (382 entrants), The Big House 4 (333 entrants), SKTAR 3 (256 entrants), CEO 2014 (255 entrants), Shots Fired (194 entrants), and McSmashter 4 (186 entrants), with 165 entrants.

This tournament is notable for a variety of upsets that occurred. In Melee singles, Wizzrobe and Nintendude defeated Axe and Zhu, respectively, to make it into the top 8 from winners' bracket, and The Moon became the third Marth player to take a set off of Fly Amanita's Ice Climbers, doing so in losers' bracket to make it into top 8. Zhu also defeated Axe in a close set in losers' semis, and Hax took a set off of Mew2King after making it to grand finals from losers' bracket. In Project M singles, Junebug made it to grand finals through winners' bracket after defeating Wizzrobe, NinjaLink, and Emukiller, and Frozen defeated Wizzrobe in losers' bracket to make it into the top 8. ZeRo also managed to win Project M singles through losers' bracket after losing to NinjaLink in the second round of winners' bracket.
