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. |

Brawl Snapshots
Brawl Snapshots was a highly popular image-upload website intended for sharing of snapshots taken in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Members could upload either pre-converted .jpg images or raw .bin files, with the additional option to perform automatic widescreen un-distortion. Members could +1 others' images to increase their ranking on various lists, with the top-rated images generally being humorous, lucky, or requiring extensive setup and precision.
The site was not without its problems. As any old .jpg could be uploaded, there was no enforcable restriction for image content, so images from other games such as Animal Crossing could be uploaded (diluting the site's intent). Less-scrupulous members would also upload duplicates of others' images or even the ones posted on the DOJO!!. The website's forums were a constant source of arguments and controversy for various reasons.
According to this AllisBrawl blog, the site eventually lost its Google Ads revenue when forum posts caused the adbot to link to adult content, causing Google to pull its ads and revenue. The site's owners were apparently uninterested in continuing to pay the increased hosting fees and let Brawl Snapshots go down (despite still owning the domain), providing no backup of any of its content. No successor, direct or spiritual, has existed since.
