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.

However, 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. Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest Smash tournament of all time. It would also break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Smash Wii U''. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters were added to ''Smash Wii U''.

However, 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. Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest Smash tournament of all time. It would also break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', and ''Smash Wii U''.

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 Melee 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 Melee 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.

Although [[EVO 2015]] and [[EVO 2016]] broke entrant records simultaneously in different games, this is the first time a record has been held on the same day within one game.
