A '''money match''', sometimes referred to as a '''cash battle''' | A '''money match''', sometimes referred to as a '''cash battle''' or abbreviated as '''MM''', is a gambling event that occurs between two smashers who agree to play a match against each other whose winner will get a sum of real-world money in addition to an in-game victory. Money matches may occur as side events at [[tournament]]s (such as in a [[Salty Suite]]) but can be played anywhere with two players and a game setup; some players even perform money matches over Wi-Fi or netplay, with electronic methods of payment like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PayPal PayPal] being used to pay the wager. Some pro smashers, such as {{Sm|KDJ}}, are well-known for the amount of money matches they play. | ||
Money matches typically have the same [[Tournament legal|rules]] as tournament sets, and are usually best-of-three, best-of-five, or, in particularly high-stakes cases, first-to-five. This means they usually include stage and character [[counterpick]]ing. Two-on-two money matches are not unheard of, but are considerably rarer than singles. | |||
The largest amount for any money match ever done was $1,000, whose distinction is shared among money matches between {{Sm|Tafokints}} and {{Sm|Tian}} in [[Apex 2014]]'s Salty Suite, Leffen and {{Sm|Mango}} during bracket at [[Apex 2015]], and Leffen and {{Sm|SFAT}} at [[DreamHack Winter 2015]]. Leffen is set to have a $1,000 money match against {{Sm|Westballz}}. | |||
Sometimes, money matches include non-monetary wagers. This may be as small as food or drinks, but part of the stakes in a very high-profile 2015 money match between {{Sm|Leffen}} and {{Sm|Chillin}} was the unofficial "right" to the [[Alternate costume (SSBM)#Fox | white Melee Fox costume]] for tournament use. <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i0PUCX7VEw VGBC's Salty Suite - Leffen (Fox) Vs.
