A '''friendly''' | A '''friendly''' is a match that takes place before or during a tournament but outside of any bracket, being for practice or just for fun in general. Friendlies normally have nothing but pride on the line, but players may compete in a [[money match]] instead, where an agreed upon amount of money is paid to the winner. Most money matches range between having 1 to 10 dollars on the line, but some have had players bet as high as 50, 100, or even 1,000 dollars. It's also not unheard of for players to put something non-monetary on the line, such as the loser doing push-ups or entering a tournament with a tag of the winner's choosing. Larger tournaments usually have dedicated areas hosting set-ups for friendlies. | ||

A | A '''exhibition set''' is a streamed set between two people, usually high or top level players. While the set might at times be simply a display of technical skill for the audience, it is typically played with the purpose of settling some feud between the two players, in which case it is colloquially referred as a '''Salty Suite'''. Notable streaming groups, such as {{Team|VGBootCamp}}, have hosted these types of side events at tournaments such as {{Trn|Apex 2014}} and {{Trn|Apex 2015}}. The salty suite between {{Sm|Leffen}} and {{Sm|Chillin}} during the latter tournament, would go on to be the most well known salty suite exhibition set within the greater ''Smash Bros.'' competititve scene. | ||

''[[Project+]]'' and its predecessor ''[[Project M]]'' remain by and far away the most common game mods to be played at tournaments, to the point of developing its own tournament scene; ''Brawl-'' and ''Brawl+'', however, also saw appearances at side events. | ||

Modding ''Melee'' is significantly less convenient for the end-user because the [[Smash Stack]] exploit isn't available, thus fewer ''Melee'' mods have been developed. However, ''[[SD Remix]]'' is a balance mod that is somewhat popular and has side tournaments run for it. | Modding ''Melee'' is significantly less convenient for the end-user because the [[Smash Stack]] exploit isn't available, thus fewer ''Melee'' mods have been developed.
