A '''ditto match''' or a '''mirror match''' is a match where both players choose the same [[character]]. They are different from other matches in that neither player has a match-up or stage advantage over the other player. The name comes from the definition of 'ditto', which means 'the same'. Ditto matches occur at times during [[tournaments]].

The term ¨ditto/dittos¨ is sometimes looked down upon in favor of the term ¨mirror¨ outside of Smash.

Strategies for a ditto match often vary greatly from the character's normal strategy. An example would be a ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Marth}} ditto match; as both players have access to Marth's long, far-reaching sword, neither player receives an advantage, as well as making approaching considerably more difficult. Another example would be in a ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} ditto match; due to Captain Falcon's incredible [[combo]] ability along with his own vulnerability to combos, the match ends up taking advantage of player flaws more frequently than usual.
