Side events: Difference between revisions

An '''exhibition''' is a featured set between two players who are usually of higher or top skill level. While the set is often a display of technical skill for the audience, it is typically played with the purpose of settling a 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. Some of these events will also often have additional wager on the line, such as [[money match|money]], or non-monetary wagers such as forbidding the loser from using a particular [[palette swap]] at future tournaments.

A combo contest is an event where players perform the most impressive combo they can perform. The rules are typically any character can be used on any stage, and as many [[item]]s as neccessary can be used. The combo is judged by a panel that typically rate the combo out of ten. The entrant that performed the combo with the highest average score wins. While any game in the series is capable of a combo contest, ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' has the most popular combo contest scene by a wide margin due to the game engine allowing for incredibly long combos.
