Rambo was a Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament held in Melbourne University's Old Arts Hall on 26 April 2008, in conjunction with the Couch Warriors Committee and the Manifest Committee. It was directed by CAOTIC and assisted by Myst Walker, Strider, Shaz, Blazey and, others. The overall attendance exceeded 100 throughout the day as players converged to play Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core, and Casual Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The official Rambo attendance, however, stood at 62. The tournament was heralded as a success, but was plagued by the incorporation of Melee and Brawl, offering 4 different tournaments for entrants. Handling the transitions between Melee and Brawl proved a major obstacle for many players, and led to considerable delays in Rambo's schedule. As a result, the Swiss System suffered a cut in rounds (from 6 to 5 for Brawl), which led to inconsistencies in the system's ranking project. Nonetheless, the Swiss System was still aptly able to determine the standout players for both Melee and Brawl, with tournament host CAOTIC taking 1st place in Melee and Sydney resident Kulla to take the 1st place for Brawl - a first major victory for Sydney's Smash Community.

Rambo's administration welcomed some new changes not before seen in Australian Smash - most notably pre-registration and online payments. The total prize pool stood over $800, which was paid for in part by Strider's 'Smash Bank.'
