*'''Supermajor''': The most prestigious tournaments in the Smash scene, featuring a huge amount of the best players from around the world. Supermajors are considered to be the most important gatherings for players in the scene, and attract the most viewership and publicity, not only from within the Smash community, but also from the larger fighting game and esports communities.

Examples of current ''Smash''-centered supermajor series include [[GENESIS]], [[Super Smash Con]], and [[The Big House]]; many tournaments held by larger fighting game organizations, such as [[CEO]], have also become supermajors in the ''Smash'' community. [[EVO]], [[MLG]], [[Apex]], and {{b|Pound|tournament series}} have previously been recognized as supermajor series. Tournaments can also be labeled as supermajors based on the extreme level of player talent; for example, in ''Melee'', [[Get On My Level 2016]], as well as Smash Summits and other invitationals, are often considered "supermajors" due to the fact that so many top 20 players attended, despite having fewer entrants than the other tournament series listed. Most global rankings tier supermajors as S-tiers, with some rankings tiering particularly large supermajors as P-tiers. | ||
