This table lists the historical timeline of the records for the largest Smash tournament of all time overall.


Note: Due to a lack of verifiable data, records from 2003 and earlier remain unclear. Notably, there are claims that {{Trn|IVGF NorthWest Regionals}} had 151 entrants, which would have made it the largest Smash tournament until {{Trn|MELEE-FC3}}, but due to the lack of definitive sources to verify that number, it is excluded from this list. {{Trn|Tournament Go 4}} and {{Trn|Tournament Go 5}} could have each also possibly held the record for largest Smash tournament in their time with their purported entrant count of up to around 90, but they remain similarly excluded from this list for their exact attendance being unverifiable.

|January 30th-July 17th, 2015||[[Apex 2015]]||1,037||{{Sm|PPMD|USA}}||First tournament to reach 1,000 entrants, and, since EVO 2013, the only non-EVO tournament to ever hold the record as the largest ''Melee'' tournament. However, due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue. Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest ''Melee'' tournament of all time. It would also break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Smash Wii U''.
