Some ''Ultimate'' tourneys use the [[Smashdown]] mode, where everyone is forced to pick a new character every game until none are left. While picking a character for a game is usually done on the spot, some require players to reserve fighters ahead of time to avoid disputes where multiple players want the same fighter. Due to the way Smashdown works, only a maximum of eight players can be in a single tourney, and they all have to play every game. The player that takes the most KOs during the tourney is declared the winner. The tourney can also end early if the mercy rule is on. | Some ''Ultimate'' tourneys use the [[Smashdown]] mode, where everyone is forced to pick a new character every game until none are left.

Usually such tournaments would play fighting games such as {{uv|Street Fighter}} or ''{{s|wikipedia|Marvel vs. Capcom}}'', or occasionally other platform fighters like ''Smash Bros.'' fan games and ''{{s|wikipedia|Rivals of Aether}}''. ''Smash'' tournaments are increasingly becoming fixtures at "traditional" fighting game events including prominent ones like [[CEO]]. Some events that are primarily focused on "esports" games like ''{{s|wikipedia|League of Legends}}'' or ''{{s|wikipedia|Counter-Strike}}'' may include ''Smash'' tournaments. Such events have included [[Major League Gaming]], [[Press Start]], and [[DreamHack]]. | ||
