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.

Sweden

From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki

Sweden is a Smash region that encompasses the country of the same name. It is one of the countries that makes up the Nordic region, which also includes Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Norway. As such, the regions' respective scenes often cross over with each other.

Historically, the scene was known for being one of the major powerhouses in Melee and the strongest Melee region in Europe. This is attributed to the region being the home of Armada and Leffen, two of the greatest Melee players of all-time. In addition, the region was the home to many of the largest Melee series in Europe, including the B.E.A.S.T series, and is the main headquarters of the DreamHack series, who regularly hosts Summer and Winter events in Sweden. All of these helped Sweden foster a strong playerbase for most of Melee, and several of the country's best players have since been ranked globally, though none as high as Armada and Leffen.

However, the Swedish scene features noticeably smaller scenes in other Smash games, and as non-Melee Swedish players rarely travel outside their region, it leads to very few of them ranking in Europe. Alongside Armada's retirement, Leffen's focus towards other FGC games, and the distance from Sweden to many other large European regions, many regions have since overtaken Sweden in national representation. For example, Sweden went from having 11 representatives on the 2019 European Melee Power Rankings to only 4 on the 2023 rankings. Nevertheless, Sweden remains one of the strongest regions in the Nordic region and features several strong players and hidden bosses such as Pipsqueak in Melee and big chungus in Ultimate.
