No specific requirements beyond a television and a console are required for setups involving ''Melee''. Tournaments generally prefer the use of a GameCube, as it is easier to startup ''Melee'' on it versus a [[Wii]], though tournaments rarely ever ban the use of the Wii; in tournaments where ''Melee'' is played alongside ''Brawl'' or one of its gameplay mods, the Wii is then sometimes preferred, owing to its backwards compatibility.

Although several [[List of regional version differences (SSBM)|versions]] of ''Melee's'' NTSC release exist, tournaments generally do not regulate which version of ''Melee'' should be used, as the gameplay changes are generally not considered significant enough to warrant such a restriction, as well as the fact that version 1.2 is the most common revision of the game. That said, the regional version of ''Melee'' should match the region of the tournament; North American tournaments only use the NTSC release, while European tournaments only use the PAL release. As the PAL release contains more significant gameplay changes compared to the NTSC release, particularly regarding characters such as {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Sheik}}, mixing of the two regional variants of the game is forbidden.

That being said, a tournament should be consistent in the regional version of ''Melee'' being used, as players suddenly playing with balance changes without warning can be detrimental to their performance and tournament placing. Mixing of regional variants is typically avoided for this reason.


Consoles which feature variants of ''[[20XX]]'' are allowed in tournaments, provided all of its available gameplay hacks are disabled.
