Tournament play
Unlike SSBM, SSB never enjoyed a "real" professional competitive scene, but interest in SSB has been renewed in recent years with the popularity of SSBM, SSBB, and SSB online through Kaillera using the Project64K emulator. Standard tournament rules differ little from that of SSBM. The most common standard tournament rules are as follows:
- Generally best 2 out of 3 (using 3 out of 5 or 4 out of 7 for finals)
- Double Elimination
- 5 stock
- 10 minute time limit
- Items are turned off
- Handicaps are off
- The first match is selected randomly excluding Yoshi's Island, Sector Z, Planet Zebes, and Mushroom Kingdom.
- Mushroom Kingdom, Sector Z, and sometimes Zebes are usually banned. Mushroom Kingdom for pipe spamming/ edge camping, Sector Z for the size and the arwing lasers, and Zebes sometimes for the lava
- The loser of each match picks the stage for the next match excluding the illegal stages listed above.
- If Saffron City is selected on the first round and one of the players is using Ness, he/she may request a repick.
- However, if the Ness player wins the match, his/her opponent may counterpick Saffron City.
- The loser cannot choose a stage on which a previous match was played (known as "Dave's stupid rule").
- For the first match, characters are chosen double-blind - at the same time, so that neither player knows his opponent's character beforehand.
- Players may repick characters after each match. However, the loser of each match gets to pick last (known as slob picks).
