| 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. |

Talk:Sudden Death
Sudden Death Tiebreak
"""If all characters die at the same time in Sudden Death, the player with the lowest player number will win (ie if Player 1 and Player 2 tie in Sudden Death, Player 1 will win). This gives a negligible, but technically true, advantage to players with lower player numbers."""
You cannot be serious. Fair much? 60.242.169.170 03:11, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
- You have to realize what "at the same time" means here. SSBM and SSBB are run at 60 frames per second. In other words, to have things occur at exactly the same time, they have to happen in the same 1/60th of a second. The chances of such are exceedingly low. So while the advantage is there, it is, as the article says, negligible. Toomai Glittershine

Okay, but that's only unfair like you-owe-bookie-money-still-so-he-cuts-your-fingers-off-unfair. Not like minding-your-own-business-but-then-a-giant-seal-with-mutated-sweat-glands-that-shoot-lasers-instead-pops-out-of-a-nearby-fountain-and-gives-you-cancer-unfair. So I wouldn't complain. Just trying to put it all in perspective for you. 13375poolR (talk) 06:10, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
Second Sudden Deaths
To my knowledge, if you manage to induce Sudden Death after a match in Brawl, and then you and your opponent/s die simultaneously during that Sudden Death match, a second Sudden Death occurs. I don't think this happens in Melee, and the only instance in which I've seen it happen in Brawl involved the use of Bowser's Flying Slam. To further complicate things, the outcome of Flying Slam and other suicide techniques is usually affected by port priority *facepalm*. I'll test it out at some point.
