Tag Team Squad Strike has been a popular [[side event]] at ''Ultimate'' tournaments, on a level nearly equal to that of [[doubles]], as it allows players to better show off their proficiency with a variety of characters, and for spectators to see a greater variety of characters being played than they would see in the standard singles bracket. Events for Squad Strike follow the typical rules of a singles double elimination tournament, which with them running three stocks, leads to Squad Strike tourneys running three character teams. Additionally most Squad Strike events will have a rule in place that ban [[Echo Fighters]] from being used on the same team as their parent character, due to them being excessively similar to their parent character gameplay-wise, if not virtually identical, and so being seen as the equivalent of picking two of the same character, giving an unfair advantage to players who happen to main a character that is part of an Echo pair. However, {{SSBU|Ken}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, and/or {{SSBU|Lucina}} are usually exempted due to the characters being different enough from their parent character to not inherently advantage players who main them or their parent character, though where this line is drawn sometimes varies depending on the tournament. | Tag Team Squad Strike has been a popular [[side event]] at ''Ultimate'' tournaments, on a level nearly equal to that of [[doubles]], as it allows players to better show off their proficiency with a variety of characters, and for spectators to see a greater variety of characters being played than they would see in the standard singles bracket.

While crew battles can be run through Elimination mode, crew battles in ''Ultimate'' are typically ran outside the mode through the usual procedure that smashers have used in all other ''Smash'' games due to the fact that Elimination mode only allows one stock per character and doesn’t allow multiples of the same character per team while these are not limitations in a regular crew battle. | |||
