'''Rambo''' was a ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' [[tournament]] held in Melbourne University's Old Arts Hall on 26 April 2008, in conjunction with the Couch Warriors Committee and the Manifest Committee. It was directed by [[Smasher:CAOTIC|CAOTIC]] and assisted by [[Smasher:Myst Walker|Myst Walker]], Strider, [[Smasher:Shaz|Shaz]], {{Sm|Blazey}} and others. Overall attendance surpassed 100 throughout the day as players converged to play Street Fighter: 3rd Strike, Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core, and Casual Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The official Rambo attendance stood at 62. The tournament was heralded as a success, but was plagued by the incorporation of Melee and Brawl, offering 4 different tournaments for entrants. Handling the transitions between Melee and Brawl proved a major obstacle for many players, and led to considerable delays in Rambo's schedule. As a result, the Swiss System suffered a cut in rounds (from 6 to 5 for Brawl), which led to inconsistencies in the system's ranking project. Nonetheless, the Swiss System was still aptly able to determine the standout players for both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', with tournament host CAOTIC taking 1st place in Melee and Sydney resident {{Sm|Kulla}} to take the 1st place for Brawl - a first major victory for Sydney's Smash Community.

Rambo's administration welcomed some new changes not before seen in Australian Smash - most notably pre-registration and online payments. This helped to save valuable time during the event. The total prize pool stood over $800, which was given a welcome boost from Strider's 'Smash Bank.'<br>
