'''Pound 2016''', also known as '''Pound VI''', was the sixth main event in the {{Trn|Pound|series}} tournament series created by {{Sm|Plank}}, and the first major Pound tournament since {{Trn|Pound V}} in 2011. The event took place in McLean, Virginia from April 2-3, 2016. Tournaments were hosted by Plank in conjunction with {{Sm|Nintendude}} and {{Sm|TheTantalus}}, from the [[VGBootCamp]] team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://smashboards.com/threads/pound-2016-announced.424425/ |title=Pound 2016 Announced! |publisher=SmashBoards |accessdate=2015-12-15}}</ref>

==Summary==
Plank, Pound 2016's tournament organizer, was the only tournament organizer featured on the Tournament Organizer Blacklist due to his inability to pay out players at Pound V in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://smashboards.com/threads/tournament-organizer-blacklist.299170/ |title=Tournament Organizer Blacklist |publisher=SmashBoards |accessdate=2015-12-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://smashboards.com/threads/pound-v-melee-results-and-shoutouts-thread.298145/page-18#post-12313739 |title=Important post|publisher=Plank |accessdate=2015-12-15}}</ref> Plank has since been removed from the blacklist, after several players reported receiving payment from Pound V.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/pound_series/status/672800116579958788 |title= Registration and Pound V payment |publisher=Pound Series official twitter account |accessdate=2015-12-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/EG_PPMD/status/672952245940584450 |title= PPMD confirming Pound V payment |publisher=PPMD twitter account |accessdate=2015-12-15}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/liquidhbox/status/667050488114896898 |title=HungryBox confirming Pound V payment |publisher=HungryBox twitter account |accessdate=2015-12-15}}</ref> Registration was officially opened on December 4th, 2015.

Pound 2016 currently stands as [[List of largest Smash tournaments|one of the largest Smash Bros tournaments to date]], with 933 entrants for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and 514 entrants (the maximum number) for ''[[Smash 4]]''.

With {{Sm|ZeRo}}'s absence from the ''Smash 4'' event due to medical issues, {{Sm|Abadango}} won his first major American tournament using {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, a character generally considered to be mid [[tier]] at the time. {{Sm|Dabuz}} failed to make top eight while {{Sm|Nairo}} was eliminated early on at a disappointing 49th place, his worst placing at a major so far. {{Sm|Marss}} and {{Sm|Pink Fresh}} also notably placed 3rd and 7th, respectively. In the ''Melee'' event, {{Sm|Hungrybox}} took his third major in a row without dropping a set, losing only a single game to {{Sm|Mango}} in grand finals; Mango additionally fell to {{Sm|Hax}} in winners' semis, though he later ousted him in losers' finals. {{Sm|Swedish Delight}} and {{Sm|Laudandus}} both made unexpected top eight finishes while {{Sm|InfiniteNumbers}} placed 9th at his first-ever major, beating {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}}, {{Sm|Alex19}}, {{Sm|MacD}}, and {{Sm|Mike Haze}}; {{Sm|Axe}} and {{Sm|Westballz}} also suffered early losses, placing 25th and 33rd respectively.

==Trivia==
*The 512 player cap for ''Smash 4'' was exceeded by 1 due to a player from the rewards shop being added after the cap had been hit.
*Pound 2016 stands as {{Sm|Nairo}}'s worst placing in ''Smash 4'', at 49th place.
*This was the first ''Smash 4'' American major won by a Japanese player, Abadango.
**This also means it was the first ''Smash 4'' American major not won by {{Sm|ZeRo}} or Nairo.
**This was also the first ''Smash 4'' national tournament to be won with {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} in grand finals.
