The '''COVID-19 pandemic''' was a pandemic of {{s|wikipedia|coronavirus disease 2019}} (COVID-19), caused by {{s|wikipedia|severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2}} (SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in December 2019, and recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, and as a public health emergency of international concern from January 30, 2020 until it was lifted on May 5, 2023. COVID-19 has been reported in more than 200 countries and territories, with major outbreaks having occurred in most of those countries; in its first year, the most affected regions were mainland China, Europe, Iran, Latin America (especially Brazil), and the United States. Public health responses have included national pandemic preparedness and response plans, travel restrictions, quarantines, curfews, event postponements and cancellations, and facility closures.
The '''COVID-19 pandemic''' is an ongoing pandemic of a disease called coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 for short, caused by a virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (abbreviated to SARS-CoV-2). The outbreak was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei, China, in December 2019, and recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 has been reported in more than 200 countries and territories, with major outbreaks occurring in mainland China, Europe, Iran, Latin America (especially Brazil), and the United States. On March 13th, the WHO stated that Europe had become the new epicenter of the pandemic. Public health responses have included national pandemic preparedness and response plans, travel restrictions, quarantines, curfews, event postponements and cancelations, and facility closures.  


Despite the pandemic forcing [[Nintendo]] employees into working remotely, development of [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|Fighters Pass Vol. 2]] continued without many issues. It notably caused ''{{h2|Mr. Sakurai Presents|Mr. Sakurai Presents "Min Min"}}'', ''[[Mr. Sakurai Presents#Mr. Sakurai Presents "Steve & Alex"|"Steve & Alex"]]'', and ''[[Mr. Sakurai Presents#Mr. Sakurai Presents "Pyra/Mythra"|"Pyra/Mythra"]]'' to take place in [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s house instead of his studio. Sakurai also revealed in a [[YouTube]] video that there were concerns over information leaking due to work being decentralized to the homes of developers. Playtesting also had to be done online, where problems arose due to connection issues.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDrNWAHaKfI=589s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate [Game Concepts]]</ref>
Despite the pandemic forcing the employees of [[Nintendo]] into working from home, development of [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|Fighters Pass Vol. 2]] was still able to continue without many issues. However, this caused [[Masahiro Sakurai]] to have to present the fighters from his house instead of his studio (with the exception of {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}).


The pandemic had also affected the competitive ''Super Smash Bros.'' [[community]] through numerous tournament cancellations and postponements for public health and safety.

==Coronavirus disease 2019==
{{art-wikipedia|Coronavirus disease 2019}}
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Common symptoms include fever, cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, and loss of smell and taste. While the majority of cases result in mild symptoms, some progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) possibly precipitated by cytokine storm, multi-organ failure, septic shock, and blood clots. The time from exposure to onset of symptoms is typically around five days, but may range from two to fourteen days.
 
The virus is primarily spread between people during close contact, most often via small droplets produced by coughing, sneezing, and talking. The droplets usually fall to the ground or onto surfaces rather than travelling through air over long distances. However, the transmission may also occur through smaller droplets that are able to stay suspended in the air for longer periods of time in enclosed spaces, as typical for airborne diseases. Less commonly, people may become infected by touching a contaminated surface and then touching their face. It is most contagious during the first three days after the onset of symptoms, although spread is possible before symptoms appear, and from people who do not show symptoms.

The 2020 MPGR and [[Spring 2020 PGRU]] were frozen on March 12th, 2020. No further events, including {{Trn|CEO Dreamland 2020}}, would count towards player ranking.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/pgstats/status/1237971902750171136|title=Effective immediately, the PGR and TTS will be frozen.}}</ref>

The {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2020}} circuit announced that there would not be any Platinum- or Gold-tier events in March and April 2020; a later update further extended the date to June 1st, 2020. Silver events would continue as normal; however, it was recommended for sick people to stay home. Several events were canceled or postponed independently of Smash World Tour's rulings. Missed point opportunities were planned to be made up later. A [https://start.gg/league/smash-world-tour-2020/shop TO relief fund shop] was later opened on Smash.gg. With the pandemic shutting down offline tournaments for the rest of the year, the circuit was effectively cancelled. Two Silver events for ''Melee'' and three Silver events for ''Ultimate'' ended up being held.  


In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the evolution of the metagame in offline contexts was largely unproven until offline tournaments had returned for some time by late 2021. This included characters that received major changes during updates, but especially all downloadable characters that were released shortly before or during the global pandemic, starting with {{SSBU|Terry}} and ending with {{SSBU|Kazuya}}. This also applied to the legality of the stages [[Small Battlefield]], [[Minecraft World]], and [[Northern Cave]], which were added to the game during that time.

{{Sm|The Lake}}, widely considered to be the best ''Melee'' {{SSBM|Zelda}} player in the world, died due to COVID-19 and pre-existing health conditions in October 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/yhs31q/the_lake_considered_by_most_to_be_the_best_melee/|title=The Lake, considered by most to be the best Melee Zelda main, passed away.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/riennezelda/status/1586857674247110656|title=Rienne's tweet}}</ref>

===Online tournaments===
===Online tournaments===
While online tournaments had been a part of the scene for years, the cancellation of several high profile offline tournaments led many players to turn to online play for their tournament fixes. Many weeklies such as Xeno and Xanadu moved online, while tournaments such as the {{Trn|bunker down}} series and {{Trn|2GG Crisis Core: Final Saga}} served as online fundraisers to help recoup losses. Several tournament series held online alternatives, including {{Trn|Pound Online}}, {{Trn|Collision Online}}, and {{Trn|Get On My Line 2020}}.

YouTubers {{Sm|Alpharad}} and {{Sm|Cr1TiKaL}} started hosting {{Trn|The Quarantine Series|series}}, a 4-month long circuit that has a prize pool ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 per tournament and a planned $50,000 for the finale. In the first tournament of the circuit, over 5,000 entrants registered to play, making it the largest known online ''Smash'' tournament without factoring in disqualifications, defeating {{Trn|Soaked Series Invitational}}'s record from a month earlier. This record was later defeated by {{Sm|Hungrybox}}'s tournament {{Trn|The Box}}, which had over 8,000 entrants. Due to lots of players attending online tournaments, this led [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v5]] to make its rankings from 50 to 75 players.

{{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021}} was then announced on February 20th, 2021, with online qualifiers, offline regional qualifiers, and an offline finale.
As online play rewards different tactics from offline play, the new online tournaments differ greatly from in-person tournaments; the added input delay and lag have allowed characters such as {{SSBU|Sonic}}, {{SSBU|Cloud}}, and {{SSBU|Roy}} to see much more success. Some controversy came about when players from distant regions such as {{Sm|Tarik}} participated in these tournaments, specifically {{Trn|Pound Online}}, with many players believing tournaments should be region-locked to reduce latency. As a result, all further tournaments in The Quarantine Series (and others such as The Box) were region-locked to the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and the prize pools were extended from the top 8 to top 16 to reduce the added stress with playing online. With many more players relying on online play, frustration with the game's online service grew to a peak; the hashtag "#FixUltimateOnline" became the number one gaming trend on Twitter on April 2, 2020

Possibly as a response to this outcry, in update 8.1.0 online play stability was slightly improved, by increasing the tick rate and slightly decreasing input delay.
After [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v5]] rankings, subscriber tournaments were now included, making monthlies like {{Trn|The Box: Lunch Box}}, {{Trn|M-Kolosseum (series)}}, and {{Trn|Frame Perfect Series: ONLINE}} titles ongoing. Patch 8.1.0 made online slightly better, making it better for improvements in online. Despite including subscriber tournaments, decreased players attending online tournaments made its ranking from 75 to 50 players.

As ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' does not have native online play, players have to use netplay mods for emulators in order to compete online. The Dolphin emulator mod [[Project Slippi]] is one of such mods, and since June 2020 it features rollback netcode for ''Melee'', allowing for stable online play across even long distances. However, the use of this mod has sparked controversy following the [[cancellation of The Big House Online]], in response of a cease and desist from Nintendo. Regardless of these concerns, Project Slippi has continued to be very popular, and numerous online ''Melee'' tournaments have been hosted using it.


===Reopening===
===Reopening===
In mid-2020, in regions with relatively few cases of COVID-19, such as Japan, Taiwan, Australia, the Middle East, and New Zealand, or that otherwise allowed large gatherings, such as France and Germany, offline play resumed, although with smaller entrant numbers and safety precautions enforced.
In regions with relatively few cases of COVID-19, such as Japan, Taiwan, Australia, the Middle East, and New Zealand, or that have otherwise allowed large gatherings, such as France and Germany, offline play has resumed, although with smaller entrant numbers and safety precautions enforced.
 
In early 2021, vaccines for COVID-19 began to roll out, and by May 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced fully vaccinated adults could stop wearing masks and social distancing.<ref> https://www.npr.org/2021/05/13/996582891/fully-vaccinated-people-can-stop-wearing-masks-indoors-and-outdoors-cdc-says</ref> Despite continued safety concerns, some American locals reopened during this time with safety precautions. The first national tournament in the United States and worldwide for ''Ultimate'' since the beginning of the pandemic was {{Trn|InfinityCON Tally 2021}}, held in Florida on June 5th-6th, where 422 people attended, by a large margin the highest amount of any tournament since {{Trn|CEO Dreamland 2020}}, almost 14 months prior. It was followed by numerous other large scale tournaments like {{Trn|Kagaribi 4}}, {{Trn|Temple: Hermès Edition}} and {{Trn|Riptide}}. The Smash World Tour 2021 regional finals were also held during this period, though many faced delays and other significant issues; the South American and Oceanian offline finals were cancelled, while the Southeast Asia players were unable to attend the [[Tournament:SWT: East Asia Ultimate Regional Finals|East Asia Regional Finals]] in Japan. To make up for this, the qualified players for the Championships were selected either via an online qualifier ({{Sm|Br1 AV}} for South America ''Ultimate'') or by the tournament organizators ({{Sm|Chape}} and {{Sm|HP}} for South America ''Melee'', {{Sm|Sora|p=Australia}} and {{Sm|Jdizzle}} for Oceania, and {{Sm|XIFL}} for Southeast Asia). The {{Trn|Smash World Tour 2021 Championships}} were eventually able to be held at the planned date without any significant issues, besides some of the previously qualified players being unable to attend.
 
By comparison, ''Melee''{{'}}s tournament scene has been more sparse and limited to small locals and invitationals until {{Trn|Riptide}}. Even afterwards, the recovery of the ''Melee'' scene has been slightly slower, with major tournaments having a smaller scale and top players attending less often.
 
''Smash 64'' has been similarly slow to recover its scene, not being featured at a major event until {{Trn|Low Tide City 2021}}. ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' were both already largely dormant before the pandemic and were not featured at a major until {{Trn|Super Smash Con: Fall Fest}}, which traditionally hosts tournaments for every official ''Smash'' game; however, ''Brawl'' would later have its largest post-''Smash 4'' or -''Ultimate'' tournament at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2023}}.
 
On November 19th, 2021, the MPGR and PGRU was announced to return on January 1st, 2022 after a two-year hiatus.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/pgstats/status/1461786518461288455|title=The PGR Returns January 2022}}</ref> Due to travel concerns, the rankings would be separated into three regions: North America, Europe, and Japan. Minimum activity requirements would be loosened to lessen the pressure on players to travel. PGstats stated that depending on international travel restrictions, a global PGR may resume as soon as the end of 2022. On December 28th, 2021, PGstats announced the MPGR and PGRU would not be reopening on January 1st, 2022 due to the rise of COVID cases globally.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/pgstats/status/1475920289548496898|title=Reopening postponed}}</ref> On February 2nd, 2022, PGstats announced they would be looking at starting the new MPGR and PGRU season on March 1st, 2022 with a four-month period spanning from March to June 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/pgstats/status/1489010865042952198|title=An update on the return of the PGR}}</ref> They monitored the state of the pandemic and announced they would give final confirmation of the new start date on February 17th, 2022. Although the date came and passed without a confirmation, the season nevertheless resulted in [[MPGR Summer 2022]] and [[PGRU v3]], spanning March 1st-July 11th, 2022 and March 1st-June 13th, 2022 respectively. Between January to February 2022, a series of articles and videos titled [[PGRContenders]] were published, looking at some of the biggest PGR contenders from North America and Europe heading into the new season. Panelists of the tier list considered tournaments in 2021 for the list, and the tournaments in early 2020 remained permanently unranked.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/qxob72/the_pgr_is_returning_in_january_2022_for_melee/hlay7jj/|title=Stuart98 comment}}</ref>
 
On May 11, 2023, the United States Department of Health and Human Services declared the COVID-19 pandemic officially over, with the rest of the world following suit by that September.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/end-of-phe.html Declaration of end of Pandemic by Center for Disease Control]</ref> All remaining restrictions on public events were lifted, meaning all ''Smash'' tournaments can now operate as they did pre-pandemic.
