Dates held Tournament Game Entrants Winner Notes March 3rd, 2003-July 10th, 2005 IVGF NorthWest Regionals ~151  Recipherus Due to the US's patchy Smash scene at the time, combined with an underdeveloped Internet, this is probably one of the earliest known records of a tournament with a large number of entrants. The exact number of entrants is also unclear, with claims of the entrant numbers being unsourced. July 10th, 2005-July 13th, 2006 MELEE-FC3 186  Ken July 13th-October 13th, 2006 MELEE-FC6 205  PC Chris October 13th, 2006-July 12th, 2007 MLG New York Playoffs 2006 208  Azen Beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall by the smallest margin, at just 3 more entrants than Melee at MELEE-FC6.

August 30th, 2008-January 16th, 2010 AxisGaming 303  DSF First time a game other than Melee has beaten the record for the largest Smash tournament overall. Largest Smash tournament of the 2000s. January 16th, 2010-January 6th, 2012 Pound 4 347  Mango Largest Melee tournament in the pre-EVO 2013 era. January 6th, 2012-July 12th, 2013 Apex 2012 400  Otori Current record holder for the largest Brawl tournament. July 12th, 2013-July 11th, 2014 EVO 2013 709  Mango This tournament is considered the beginning of the Platinum Age, and despite an unprecedented number of entrants, it would be followed by even larger tournaments in the years to come. July 11th, 2014-January 30th, 2015 EVO 2014 970  Mango January 30th-July 17th, 2015 Apex 2015 1,037  PPMD First tournament to reach 1,000 entrants, and, since EVO 2013, the only non-EVO tournament to ever hold the record as the largest Smash tournament overall. 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. July 17th-19th, 2015 EVO 2015 1,869  Armada While Melee at EVO 2015 broke the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, Smash Wii U had more entrants at the same event. July 17th, 2015-July 15th, 2016 EVO 2015 1,926  ZeRo Beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall by the largest margin, at 889 more entrants than Melee at Apex 2015. July 15th-17th, 2016 EVO 2016 2,372  Hungrybox Current record holder for the largest Melee tournament; first Smash tournament to break 2,000 entrants, along with Smash Wii U at the same event. Just like the previous EVO, Melee at EVO 2016 broke the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, but Smash Wii U had more entrants at the same event. July 15th, 2016-August 2nd, 2019 EVO 2016 2,662  Ally Current record holder for the largest Smash 4 tournament. It was the first Smash tournament to break 2,000 entrants, along with Melee at the same event. It held the record for the largest Smash tournament overall for the longest time at three years. August 2nd, 2019-present EVO 2019 3,534  MkLeo Current record holder for the largest Smash tournament of all time, and currently the largest Ultimate tournament. It is the first Smash tournament to break 3,000 entrants. Super Smash Bros. This table lists the historical timeline of the records for the largest Smash 64 tournament of all time.

Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest Smash 64 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. January 15th-August 11th, 2016 GENESIS 3 238  wario August 11th, 2016-present Super Smash Con 2016 314  SuPeRbOoMfAn Current record holder, and beat the record for the largest Smash 64 tournament by the largest margin at 76 more than GENESIS 3. It has held the record for the longest time in Smash 64. Super Smash Bros. Melee This table lists the historical timeline of the records for the largest Melee tournament of all time. Note: Due to a lack of data, records from 2003 and earlier remain unclear. Dates held Tournament Entrants Winner Notes March 3rd, 2003-July 10th, 2005 IVGF NorthWest Regionals ~151  Recipherus Due to the US's patchy Smash scene at the time, combined with an underdeveloped Internet, this is probably one of the earliest known records of a tournament with a large number of entrants. The exact number of entrants is also unclear, with claims of the entrant numbers being unsourced. July 10th, 2005-July 13th, 2006 MELEE-FC3 186  Ken July 13th-October 13th, 2006 MELEE-FC6 205  PC Chris October 13th, 2006-July 12th, 2007 MLG New York Playoffs 2006 208  Azen Beat the record for the largest Melee tournament by the smallest margin, at just 3 more entrants than MELEE-FC6, which is also the smallest margin for a record for a largest Smash tournament out of any Smash game overall. July 12th-August 24th, 2007 MELEE-FC Diamond 256  Mew2King August 24th, 2007-July 10th, 2009 EVO World 2007 270  Ken Fastest to beat the record for the largest Melee tournament at 41 days after MELEE-FC Diamond.

July 12th, 2013-July 11th, 2014 EVO 2013 709  Mango Beat Pound 4's record with twice the amount of entrants. This tournament is considered the beginning of the Platinum Age, and despite an unprecedented number of entrants, it would be followed by even larger tournaments in the years to come. July 11th, 2014-January 30th, 2015 EVO 2014 970  Mango Largest pre-Smash 4 tournament. January 30th-July 17th, 2015 Apex 2015 1,037  PPMD First tournament to reach 1,000 entrants, and, since EVO 2013, the only non-EVO tournament to ever hold the record as the largest Melee tournament. 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 Melee 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. July 17th, 2015-July 15th, 2016 EVO 2015 1,869  Armada Beat the record for the largest Melee tournament by the largest margin, at 832 more entrants than Apex 2015.

It beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall, beating 347 entrants for Melee at Pound 4.

Super Smash Bros. 4 This table lists the historical timeline of the records for the largest Smash 4 tournament of all time. Dates held Tournament Version Entrants Winner Notes September 23rd-October 12th, 2014 Umebura 8 170  Nietono First Smash 4 tournament to reach 100 entrants.

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, and Smash 4 had 103 DQs. If it was the largest tournament in both Smash 64 and Melee, it would break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: Smash 64, Melee, and Smash Wii U. It would also have more than triple the attendants than Final Battle. July 17th, 2015-July 15th, 2016 EVO 2015 1,926  ZeRo First Smash 4 tournament to reach 1,000 entrants; has beaten the record by the largest margin out of any largest Smash tournament record at 1,089 more entrants than Apex 2015, which is more than twice the entrants.

Note that while NEW GAME PLUS started on December 7th, Ultimate singles started on December 8th. This is also by far the fastest a Smash game has had a tournament with 100 entrants or more post-release, only a day after its launch on December 7th, 2018. 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. Smash Ultimate Launch Event 141  PkChris Launch 166  ZD NEW GAME PLUS: The ULTIMATE Overnight Experience 196  Ned SLGC Smash Ultimate Release Tournament 243  VaLoR December 15th, 2018 Smash Out 2018 357  yeti Both tied from being held on the same day. Don't Park on the Grass 2018 was one of the first national Ultimate tournaments. With Umebura SP the following day, or because of Don't Park on the Grass 2018's and Umebura SP's Ultimate singles starting eight and a half hours apart due to time zones, this is the shortest time a tournament has held the record for the largest Smash tournament out of any game. Don't Park on the Grass 2018 581  MVD December 16th, 2018-February 1st, 2019 Umebura SP 746  Shuton First Ultimate major in Japan.
