Despite this, the game has minimal tournament representation, as ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' shares its gameplay and mechanics but is largely seen as the more accessible version for [[tournament play]] due to its multiple control schemes and more clearly visible graphics. In addition, the handheld nature of the 3DS version greatly increases the possibility of [[lag]] in local wireless play, since no two players can play on the same system, unlike the Wii U version. Nonetheless, the 3DS version remains popular for online play, for which it suffers from fewer drawbacks compared to the Wii U version than for local multiplayer. | Despite this, the game has minimal tournament representation, as ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' shares its gameplay and mechanics but is largely seen as the more accessible version for [[tournament play]] due to its multiple control schemes and more clearly visible graphics.

{{main|Super Smash Bros. 4 in competitive play}} | |||
Despite being the first version to release and effectively being the same game on a competitive level, the 3DS version has arguably the smallest competitive scene of any game in the series. This is due to the community simply preferring {{Forwiiu}} as an avenue to play ''Smash''. Because of this, very few major tournaments existed for the game and it tends to only be in side tournaments to this day. | |||
The community has constructed a set of [[tournament legal (SSB4)|standard tournament rules]] to regulate tournament play. While rulesets may vary between different tournaments, generally universal gameplay rules include all matches being played via [[time]]d [[stock]] (2-3 stocks and 6-8 minutes), and restrictions on legal [[stage]]s. These regulations are enacted to ensure that gameplay at the highest level remains fair and interesting. | |||
