Names are a feature in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. It allows a player to input a short string of characters as a name to use in gameplay, where it will "float" above the character. In ''Brawl'', the string could be five characters long, whereas ''Melee'' allowed a length of four. Names can also be used to store data and records under them. A name will have the records for [[KO]]'s, [[SD]]'s, [[damage]] taken, [[pratfall]]s etc. Names are also used to set [[Rumble]] on a controller and save a control preference for a player that uses different controls to the default setting. This effectively makes techniques like Back Sticking and [[T-Sticking]] available to use. In ''Brawl'' names can be transferred to the [[Wiimote]] which can then be transferred to another [[Wii]].
