Collision is a Tristate tournament series organized by RJ. The series started in 2012 as a New York regional event for Brawl before later adding Melee to its lineup by the fifth iteration. Although earlier tournaments had small entrants numbers, the series regularly attracted top players from all around the Tristate area, as well as a few players from outside the region on occasion. Following the transition to Smash 4, the series slowly began growing in size as it became an annual series, before becoming a major event with their first Ultimate event, Collision 2019. Since then, Collision has been one of the premier Tristate Smash events alongside Luminosity Makes Moves, regularly hosting major-level events for Melee and supermajor-level events for Ultimate.

The tournament began in New York but had its first New Jersey event with Collision VII. Its location then fluctuated between the two states before finally settling in New Jersey from Collision XIII onward.
