The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

'''''Resident Evil''''' ({{ja|バイオハザード|Baiohazādo}}, ''Biohazard'') is a series of survival horror shooters developed by Capcom. Initially envisioned as a remake of the 1989 horror game ''Sweet Home'', the direction shifted into an original title as Capcom lost the rights to the property before release. The main storyline of the series features various protagonists fighting against the Umbrella Corporation or people with connections to them, who has developed various deadly viruses creating zombies and nightmarish mutants.

'''''Goemon''''' ({{ja|がんばれゴエモン|Ganbare Goemon}}, ''Go For It, Goemon!'') is an action-adventure series made by [[Konami]]. Although Konami mostly regards the series as largely too culturally based to be released worldwide, several games have been released to the west: one for the Super NES (''The Legend of the Mystical Ninja'' in 1991), two for the Nintendo 64 (''Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon'' in 1997, and ''Goemon's Great Adventure'' in 1999), and two for the Game Boy (the first in 1991, as part of ''Konami GB Collection Vol. 3'', and ''Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon'' in 1997, the former of which was released in Europe but not in America). The series is mainly action-adventure oriented, although the series has dipped its toes into other genres, such as role-playing games and puzzle games. A spiritual successor to this series published by [[Good-Feel]] in 2023 was made by the original team under the name ''Mameda no Bakeru''.

'''''Power Pros''''', known in Japan as '''''eBaseball Powerful Pro Baseball''''' (formerly {{ja|実況パワフルプロ野球|Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū}}, ''Live Powerful Pro Baseball'') is a long-running series of {{iw|wikipedia|baseball}} video games created by [[Konami]]. The series is known for its heavily stylized designs, and fast-paced and deep gameplay. Most games in the series acquired the rights to use the official branding of real baseball leagues around the world, including {{iw|wikipedia|Nippon Professional Baseball}}, {{iw|wikipedia|Major League Baseball}}, {{iw|wikipedia|Korea Baseball Organization}}, {{iw|wikipedia|World Baseball Classic}}, and all of their associated players' unions. Spin-offs were also made such as the more realistic ''{{iw|wikipedia|Professional Baseball Spirits}}'' series of baseball simulations and the handheld exclusive ''{{iw|wikipedia|Power Pro Kun Pocket}}'' series.
The series is one of Konami's most popular game series, although it is not widely available outside of Japan. The main character, Power Pro-Kun, is known as Konami's mascot character, much like Nintendo's Mario and Sega's Sonic.
Power Pro-Kun, Aoi Hayakawa, & Mamoru Ikari were added as a combined [[spirit]] in ''Ultimate'' via the [[Sentinels, Gods, and Baseball]] [[Spirit Board]] event in January, 2024.

'''''The Elder Scrolls''''' is a series of fantasy role-playing games primarily developed and produced by Bethesda. Players take control of several characters and play through major events in a fantasy world on the continent known as Tamriel. The series is notable for being among the earliest true open-world games in the industry. While the series has more games than it, the most popular game (and the one currently represented in ''Super Smash Bros.'') in the series is ''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'', in which the player must stop the dragon Alduin from destroying the world.
On June 28th, 2021, it was announced that the [[Dragonborn]] (also known as the Dovahkiin), the player character of ''Skyrim'', will be added to the game as a Mii Costume for the Mii Swordfighter.

'''''Bravely Default''''' ({{ja|ブレイブリーデフォルト|Bureiburī Deforuto}}, ''Bravely Default'') is a series of role-playing games developed by {{iw|wikipedia|Silicon Studio}} and published by [[Square Enix]] in Japan, with [[Nintendo]] publishing in all other regions. Originally conceived as a sequel to ''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light}}'', the connections to the {{uv|Final Fantasy}} franchise were eventually dropped in favor of original characters and settings. Battles are turn based, with the unique twist of being able to brave or default every turn. Brave Points (BP) must be spent to attack, or "Brave" enemies, and more available BP means more chances to attack. The player can even go into negative BP, but are then unable to perform any action until the BP balance reaches 0 again. BP will restore naturally, or the player can choose to "Default," which reduces damage taken and replenishes BP quicker. The games also utilize a job system where players battle the holders of Asterisks, items that grant jobs, in order to claim them and thereby use those jobs for themselves, granting their characters special abilities in battle.
'''''Bravely Default''''' ({{ja|ブレイブリーデフォルト|Bureiburī Deforuto}}, ''Bravely Default'') is a series of role-playing games developed by {{iw|wikipedia|Silicon Studio}} and published by [[Square Enix]] in Japan, with [[Nintendo]] publishing in all other regions. Originally conceived as a sequel to ''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light}}'', the connections to the {{uv|Final Fantasy}} franchise were eventually dropped in favor of original characters and settings. Battles are turn based, with the unique twist of being able to brave or default every turn. Brave Points (BP) must be spent to attack, or "Brave" enemies, and more available BP means more chances to attack. The player can even go into negative BP, but are then unable to perform any action until the BP balance reaches 0 again. BP will restore naturally, or the player can choose to "Default," which reduces damage taken and replenishes BP quicker. The games also utilize a job system where players battle the holders of Asterisks, items that grant jobs, in order to claim them and thereby use those jobs for themselves, granting their characters special abilities in battle.


On February 23, 2021, it was announced that spirits from ''Bravely Default II'', the third game in the series, would introduced via the [[Spirit Board]] event simply titled [[BRAVELY DEFAULT II]] on February 26 as a tie-in to the game's release. All four protagonists are available in pairs: Seth & Gloria and Elvis & Adelle.

*'''''[[wikipedia:Omega Force#Games|Warriors]]''''' is a hack-and-slash series by Omega Force (stylized as ω-Force) and Koei Tecmo (previously Koei prior to their merger with Tecmo).

While the first game in the series is a one-on-one fighting game, its sequels and spin-offs adopted the style of the player controlling several generals on an open map and mowing down hordes of enemies while simultaneously managing the positions and actions of allied forces until the enemy has fallen or surrendered. The franchise includes crossovers such as {{uv|Dragon Quest}}, {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, ''Fire Emblem'', and ''Persona''. Spirits from ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity}}'' appeared in ''Ultimate'' via a [[Spirit Board]] event. Additionally, Sophia from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Persona 5 Strikers}}'', a ''Persona 5'' spin-off, is available as a spirit for those who have save data from the game in the system. She would be available to purchase from the [[Shop]] as of version 12.0.0.
