The '''Tristate Area''' refers to a ''Smash'' region centered on southeastern New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania (more specifically, the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas); the region borders and/or overlaps with parts of Upstate New York, the Connecticut portion of New England, Pittsburgh/Northeast Ohio, and Maryland/Virginia. The ''Smash Bros.'' community's definition of "Tristate Area" differs from its general meaning; the former includes the Philadelphia area and generally excludes southwestern Connecticut, while the latter always includes southwestern Connecticut while excluding Philadelphia. | The '''Tristate Area''' refers to a ''Smash'' region centered on southeastern New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania (more specifically, the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas); the region borders and/or overlaps with parts of Upstate New York, the Connecticut portion of New England, Pittsburgh/Northeast Ohio, and Maryland/Virginia.

Anchored by NYC and Philadelphia, two of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, the densely populated Tristate Area has accordingly grown into one of the largest ''Smash'' regions in the country, particularly for ''Smash 4''. It was also home to the largest ''Brawl'' community in North America during the game's peak levels of activity. Dedicated TOs, such as {{Sm|Alex Strife}} and {{Sm|Keitaro}}, combined with easy access to the NYC area's major airports, have helped the Tristate Area develop into the ''Smash'' hub it has become today. With the prominence of the [[Apex]] series, the region was even considered the unofficial center of grassroots activity; however, with the decline of Apex and the rise of new supermajors in other parts of the United States, the Tristate Area has lost its status as the undisputed most important Smash region. It still maintains a large and active tournament scene to this day, however. | Anchored by NYC and Philadelphia, two of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States, the densely populated Tristate Area has accordingly grown into one of the largest ''Smash'' regions in the country, particularly for ''Smash 4''.

It is considered to be one of the two strongest regions for ''[[Project M]]'' in the world (the other being [[Southern California]]), with 13 PMRanked players and multiple other unranked threats. | ||
