History

In Brawl, players may refer themselves as "Wi-Fi Warriors", the term was often used as an insult or a joke. Although it sometimes can be used to refer players who play online a lot, it was also used as a mockery on players that use Wi-Fi connection.

In 2018, the first iteration of Wi-Fi Warrior Rank is published for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, which ranked the best players in the online scene.
