| '''Names''' are a feature in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and {{forwiiu}}. It allows a player to input a short string of characters as a name to use in gameplay, where it will "float" above the character. In ''Brawl'', the string can be up to five characters long, whereas ''Melee'' allows only a max of four characters. In {{Forwiiu}}, names can have up to ten characters. A name will have its own records for things such as [[knock-out]]s, [[self-destruct]]s, [[damage]] taken, [[pratfall]]s, etc., which can be seen in the [[Records]] menu. Names can also be used to set [[Rumble]] on a controller and save a control preference for a player that uses different controls to the default setting. This effectively makes techniques like [[B-Sticking]] and [[T-Sticking]] available to use. In ''Brawl'', names can be transferred to the [[Wii Remote]] and can then be transferred to another [[Wii]] console. [[KO Stars]] are temporarily awarded to a given name profile for scored KOs, lasting until the player exits [[Versus Mode]] or changes his/her name.
| |
| | |
| In rare cases, names may affect gameplay. For example, in ''[[Melee]]'', name tags remain visible even if they are pointing to an invisible character, making it easier to [[punish]] teleportation special moves such as [[Farore's Wind]] and [[Vanish]].
| |
| | |
| In {{Forwiiu}}, due to the lack of voice chat when playing any of the [[With Anyone]] modes online, some players use names as a means of communicating with other players, sending messages such as "good game".

| |
| The '''Name Entry''' is a menu where names are entered and managed. In ''Melee'', it is found in the [[VS. Mode]] menu, while it is found under "Options" in ''Brawl''; in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', it can be found in both places. New names can also be typed in at the [[character selection screen]], although in ''Melee'', it will shift screens to a name entry screen; in ''Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', a new name may be typed in directly, although controls cannot be set this way.
| |
| | |
| In the European version of ''Brawl'', Latin uppercase and lowercase characters, including diacritics, can be used, as well as punctuation and numbers. The [[PAL]] version of ''Melee'' allows the same possibilities. The [[NTSC]] version of ''Brawl'' allows uppercase Latin letters, punctuation, numbers and Japanese characters.
| |
| | |
| There is also an option to have the game enter a random name. Most of the random names that can appear are names of existing [[Nintendo]] characters.
| |
| | |
| The Name Entry will refuse to set names such as "[[CPU]]" and "[[Player|P1]]", likely due to them being tags for players without names. However, variations with lowercase letters, such as "Cpu" and "p1", can be set. In {{forwiiu}}, in addition to this, the Name Entry uses the Wii U's native word filter, preventing names with potentially inappropriate jargon from being set, unlike in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl''.
| |
| | |
| In ''Melee'', the Name Entry menu is the key to activating the [[Name Entry glitch]] and its derivatives, including the [[Master Hand glitch]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Coincidentally, one of the random names in ''Melee'' is "[[Ike]]", who did not exist at the time, but was a playable character in ''Brawl''; this continued in ''Brawl'', where one of the random names was "[[Robin]]", who also did not exist at the time, but was playable in ''SSB4''.
| |
| *One of the random names in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' is "[[John|NOJOHNS]]".
