==Record progression==
{{incomplete|All Smash games besides Melee and Ultimate have important early record progression missing, record holders with less than 100 entrants are still important to document.}}
===Overall===
This table lists the historical timeline of the records for the largest Smash tournament of all time overall.
 
Note: Due to a lack of verifiable data, records from 2003 and earlier remain unclear. Notably, there are claims that {{Trn|IVGF NorthWest Regionals}} had 151 entrants, which would have made it the largest Smash tournament until {{Trn|MELEE-FC3}}, but due to the lack of definitive sources to verify that number, it is excluded from this list. {{Trn|Tournament Go 4}} and {{Trn|Tournament Go 5}} could have each also possibly held the record for largest Smash tournament in their time with their purported entrant count of up to around 90, but they remain similarly excluded from this list for their exact attendance being unverifiable.

|May 18th-August 30th, 2008||{{Trn|UCLA VI: A New Hope}}||192||{{Sm|Futile|USA}}||First ''Brawl'' tournament to reach 100 entrants.
|-
|August 30th, 2008-January 6th, 2012||[[AxisGaming]]||303||{{Sm|DSF|USA}}||Held the record for the largest ''Brawl'' tournament for three years, and beat the record by the largest margin at 111 more entrants than UCLA VI: A New Hope. It beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, beating 270 entrants for ''Melee'' at EVO World 2007. Largest ''Smash'' tournament of the 2000s.
|-
|January 6th, 2012-present||[[Apex 2012]]||400||{{Sm|Otori|Japan}}||Current record holder, and the only record for the largest ''Brawl'' tournament set outside of 2008. It beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, beating 347 entrants for ''Melee'' at Pound 4.

|-
|October 12th-December 22nd, 2014||[[Umebura 9]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4-3}}||192||{{Sm|Choco|Japan}}||Last ''Smash 3DS'' tournament to hold the record for the largest ''Smash 4'' tournament, and has beaten the record by the smallest margin at 22 more entrants than Umebura 8.
|-

|-
|January 30th-July 17th, 2015||[[Apex 2015]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}||837||{{Sm|ZeRo|Chile}}||Fastest to beat the record for the largest ''Smash 4'' tournament at just 13 days after Final Battle. Due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue, and ''Smash 4'' had 103 DQs. If it was the largest tournament in both ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', it would break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Smash Wii U''. It would also have more than triple the attendants than Final Battle. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters were added.
|-
|July 17th, 2015-July 15th, 2016||[[EVO 2015]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}||1,926||{{Sm|ZeRo|Chile}}||First ''Smash 4'' tournament to reach 1,000 entrants; has beaten the record by the largest margin out of any largest Smash tournament record at 1,089 more entrants than Apex 2015, which is more than twice the entrants. It beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, beating 1,037 entrants for Melee at Apex 2015 and 1,826 entrants for Melee at EVO 2015, the same event. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters finished releasing.
|-
|July 15th, 2016-present||[[EVO 2016]]||{{GameIcon|SSB4-U}}||2,662||{{Sm|Ally|Canada}}||Current record holder. It was the first ''Smash 4'' tournament to break 2,000 entrants. It has held the record for the longest time in ''Smash 4''.

|-
|August 2nd, 2019-present||{{Trn|EVO 2019}}||3,534|||{{Sm|MkLeo|Mexico}}||Current record holder, and currently the largest Smash tournament of all time.
