Single person match
Single Person Melee is a form of the Name Entry glitch that allows the player to play alone. It was discovered by REVOLUTION324 and Exchord92.
Executing the glitch
The glitch can be executed only in Time, Bonus, or Coin modes; Stock mode causes a 0-Second Melee. Players may set the time to whatever they wish. Next, place the cursor of the controller over the name field on the character select screen. On this controller, press A and B simultaneously. Release A, but hold onto B. Scroll down to the "Name Entry" button. If the player presses A again at just the right time, the game will skip to the Stage Selection screen. Select the stage. If it loads properly, the game has not frozen and the player will be in a Single Person Melee. The window of time to execute the glitch is 1 frame.
Explanation
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to advance with only one combatant. However, since the Name Entry glitch forces the game to advance, there is only one character in the melee. It will remain this way until time has run out or until the player quits.
