The phrase is ubiquitous to the point of not being exclusive to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Players of other games may use a variation of "no X, Y only, Final Destination" to refer to competitive play of their game, with X often being a feature disabled in tournaments while Y is a character that high-level players tend to succeed with the most (or alternatively, a character that has the physical features of a fox). "Final Destination" is sometimes replaced with a native stage of competitive fairness, but is more often left as-is as the "anchor" of the phrase. Oddly enough, despite the original phrase being ''Melee''-specific, corresponding phrases for other games in the series are effectively unheard of. | The phrase is ubiquitous to the point of not being exclusive to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

The pervasiveness of this supposed competitive ruleset appears to have been noticed by the developers of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. In both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the two online modes playable against non-friends are [[For Fun]] and [[For Glory]]. For Fun allows any stage except Final Destination and has all items on, while For Glory turns off all items, allows 1v1 fights instead of just free-for-alls and only allows Final Destination and the [[Ω form]] of stages (i.e. existing stages restructured to have Final Destination's stage design).

This meme has been embraced in a joking and ironic manner by the competitive community; it is often branded on T-shirts from sponsors and on parodies of the ''Melee'' box art. On the occasion that a Fox mirror match occurs on Final Destination, commentators may reference the meme. However, professionals maintain that while their ruleset is more restrictive than "regular" play, it still allows far greater degrees of freedom than what this meme suggests competitive play to be. They further discredit the original argument the meme was based on, stating that Final Destination is not more frequently played than any of the other legal stages in the [[Tournament rulesets (SSBM)|''Melee'' ruleset]] (the most played stage being {{SSBM|Battlefield}}) and is in fact one of Fox's worst stages in certain matchups. | This meme has been embraced in a joking and ironic manner by the competitive community; it is often branded on T-shirts from sponsors and on parodies of the ''Melee'' box art.
