| 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. |

Weight
Weight is a measure of how far a character can be knocked back horizontally by an attack, if damage is held constant. It affects the vertical knockback also, in concert with falling speed. Remember, with the exception of Mario and Dr. Mario, no two characters are the same weight.
It is usually considered an advantage for a character to be heavy; however, extra weight can make characters slightly more susceptible to combos. A notable example in Melee is that characters with lower than 87 weight fall down when hit by Fox's shine, and thus are invulnerable to his shine combos.
SSB weight ranking
This is the ranking of characters in the first installment. It was recently calculated by Blue Ninjakoopa and is listed from heaviest to lightest.

SSBM weight ranking
Following are the characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee, ranked in order of heaviest to lightest. This list is based on horizontal knockback on the Mushroom Kingdom 2 weight scale and was tested by Mew2King with credit to Blake Mutschler and Aaron Kurtz. Metal weights assume that you multiply by 3 in order to achive them. Super mushroom weights are 1.6 times the original weight of the character and poison mushroom weights are 5/8 of the original weight.
