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.

Costa Rica is a Smash region that encompasses the country of the same name. It borders Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the southeast. Tournament activity primarily takes place in the country's capital, San José.

Costa Rica is considered one of the three strongest regions in Costa Rica, alongside El Salvador and Guatemala. The region is especially known for being the home region for Yei, who was considered Central America's best player in Smash 4 and early-Ultimate and the most successful Central American player at international Smash 4 and Ultimate events; as his activity was strictly in Central America and Mexico, he was considered one of the strongest hidden bosses in early-Ultimate. Though no other Costa Rican players have been able to match Yei's success, the scene is the home to many other noteworthy talent, including MtKat and Morsalsa. In addition, Costa Rica is the home to CUMBRE and CUMBRE 2 invitationals, which featured many of Central America's best players, in addition to international talent.
