The Southwest is a Smash region located in the United States. It includes the states of Arizona, New Mexico, and the southern tip of Nevada, while the rest of Nevada, Colorado, and Utah, and are often, but not always, grouped in as well. The region is bordered by Texas, the Mid-South state Oklahoma, and the Midwest states Kansas and Nebraska to the east; SoCal to the west; the Rocky Mountain states Wyoming and Idaho to the north; and the Northwest Mexican states Chihuahua and Sonora to the south. Within the region, the most active Smash communities are found in the Phoenix and Las Vegas metropolitan areas.

The Southwest is most well known as the home of EVO, an annual fighting game tournament in Las Vegas that has featured different Smash titles, spanning the years 2007 and 2008, as well as from 2013 to 2019; many of the largest Smash tournaments in history, including the largest Smash tournament in history, were EVO events hosted in Las Vegas. The region has also hosted other fighting game events, including MLG and the LVL UP EXPO series, as well as grassroots regionals and majors such as 2GGT: ZeRo Saga, Ascension, Double Down 2022, DVDA, Ludwig Smash Invitational, Sandstorm, and Smash Camp.
