Regions of the world which used the different encoding systems

Phase Alternate Line, often referred to as PAL, was an analogue television encoding system used in Europe, Australia, Africa and parts of South America. While it has been made obsolete by the use of digital component encoding, the term survives as a colloquial reference to the version of games and other televisual media released in the former PAL regions, particularly Europe and Australia.

Both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl were released in the NTSC regions of Japan and North America prior to PAL regions; in this "gap" between releases, both games were modified slightly in order to both adjust them for regional reasons, such as changing languages or information relating to release dates, or gameplay fixes, such as fixing glitches or changing properties of specific attacks.

Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.
