The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

'''Beta elements''' are components of video games that for whatever reason, are removed or altered before that game is released. Known info about beta elements usually comes from one of two sources. The first is information released about a game, by its creators, before the game is complete. The second is data found within the coding of a game that serves no purpose, but could have been implemented into the game at one point. Elements that do not make it into the final game are often seen in things such as trailers and demos.
'''Unused content''' refers to components of video games that were removed or altered before the game is released. Known info about unused content can come from a variety of sources: a developer can reveal information about the game's development, promotional material may use earlier builds of the game that contain later-removed elements, unused or incomplete code and files can be found within the finished game, and people associated with the game can leak or sell pre-release builds of the game, normally years after the game has been released.

Many elements removed from the final games have been found in all three ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games. Many of these have been seen in gameplay trailers, such as {{SSBB|Kirby}}'s "Melee" [[Hammer]] being used in midair at the [[E3]] 2006 trailer. His Hammer in midair was later changed from multiple circular swings to two powerful horizontal swings. Some of the best known beta elements include the [[Kirby (universe|Kirby]]-themed stages in ''[[Super Smash Bros]].'', removed stages such as [[DUMMY]] and [[AKANEIA]] in ''[[Melee]]'', and leftover character data for characters such as [[Mewtwo]], [[Dr. Mario]], and {{s|dkwiki|Dixie Kong}} in ''[[Brawl]]''. The character data has caused many players to speculate that these characters were intended to be playable.

Unused content refers to components of video games that were removed or altered before the game is released. Known info about unused content can come from a variety of sources: a developer can reveal information about the game's development, promotional material may use earlier builds of the game that contain later-removed elements, unused or incomplete code and files can be found within the finished game, and people associated with the game can leak or sell pre-release builds of the game, normally years after the game has been released.

One of the most well-known beta elements is Kirby using his Hammer in midair as he did in Melee, during Brawl's E3 2006 trailer.

Many elements removed from the final games have been found in all Super Smash Bros. games. Many of these have been seen in gameplay trailers, such as character movesets and visual elements being noticeably different before final release. Evidence for some of these altered elements can still be found in the game files at various stages of completion. Some of the best known beta elements include the Kirby-themed stages in Super Smash Bros., removed stages such as DUMMY and AKANEIA in Melee, and leftover character data for characters such as Mewtwo, Roy, and Dixie Kong in Brawl.
