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.

Differences from Melee

This is an incomplete list.

This list does not include the obvious such as a different button scheme/controller and Melee-only characters.

Tournament Play

Unlike SSBM, SSB never enjoyed a "real" professional competitive scene, but interest in SSB has been renewed in recent years with the popularity of SSBM and SSB online through Kaillera using the Project64K emulator. Standard tournament rules differ little from that of SSBM. The most common standard tournament rules are as follows:

  • Generally best 2 out of 3 (using 3 out of 5 or 4 out of 7 for finals)
  • 5 stock
  • 10 minute time limit
  • Items are turned off
  • Handicaps are off
  • The first match is selected randomly excluding Yoshi's Island, Planet Zebes, and Mushroom Kingdom.
  • The loser of each match picks the stage for the next match excluding the illegal stages listed above.
  • If Saffron City is selected on the first round and one of the players is using Ness, he/she may request a repick.
  • However, if the Ness player wins the match, his/her opponent may counterpick Saffron City.
  • The loser cannot choose a stage on which a previous match was played (known as "Dave's stupid rule").
  • For the first match, characters are chosen double-blind - at the same time, so that neither player knows his opponent's character beforehand.
  • Players may repick characters after each match. However, the loser of each match gets to pick last (known as slob picks).
