The '''All Characters Match-Up Chart''' is a color-coded table detailing the approximate difficulty of all possible matches for any given [[character]] against any other character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' based on two players of equal skill. Created by [[phanna]] and updated for 2007, the chart is based loosely on community consensus regarding character match-ups and there are future plans to use the data collected for deeper analysis of the subject and potential expansion of the chart/project.

The chart offers several interesting analyzes about the dynamics of the game and is also open to a variety of interpretations; players may use the chart to further their chances of tournament success by using it as a guideline for what matches to avoid, or as a constructive tool indicating how much they will have to improve a given character in order to overcome a difficult counterpick.

However, since this chart was made, metagame has evolved, so many character match ups have changed. Back when the chart was made, Captain Falcon used to have a disadvantage against Marth, but now it's widely considered an even match up.
