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.

The 1v1 multiplier is a mechanic in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate designed to speed up matches between two players. In short, when a game has only two players, and items are off, characters take 1.2× damage from all sources.

The 1v1 multiplier is a damage-taken modifier rather than a damage-given one, and is applied after all other calculations. For example, a move with a damage output of 10% will inflict said amount of damage, and then once all other effects are determined (such as the amount of knockback), an extra 2% will be added. As a result, it has a few unintuitive interactions:

  • It does not affect the amount of damage needed to KO an opponent. If a move will KO when it hits an opponent at 120%, it will do so whether the 1v1 multiplier is on or off.
    • However, it does mean that the opponent will be at higher damage before the last hit of a multi-hit move connects, and thus the move will effectively KO earlier.
  • It does not affect the length of hitstun, freeze frames, shieldstun, status effects (such as bury or sleep), and so on.
  • It does not cause attacks to break through armor earlier.
  • It does not cause projectiles to break through reflection earlier.
  • It does not affect the damage received by counterattacks or absorption moves.
  • It amplifies recoil damage and hoop damage, but it does not alter healing.
  • It is active in training mode when there is only one CPU opponent. Adding more CPUs disables it.

Shields and stage elements are unaffected by the multiplier, though most other player-created objects are (such as Pikmin or K. Rool's belly).
