'''''Sumabura Ken!!''''' ({{ja|スマブラ拳!!}}), literally "Smash Bros. Fist!!", is the name given to the Japanese ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' development information websites; the ''[[Melee]]'' edition is named ''Sokuhō Sumabura Ken!!'' ({{ja|速報スマブラ拳!!}}), literally "News Flash Smash Bros. Fist!!", while the ''[[Brawl]]'' edition came to be known as ''Smash Bros. DOJO!!'' in other countries. The term "Sumabura Ken!!" (or "Smabura-Ken", from a mention on the English Brawl ''DOJO!!'') is commonly used to refer to the ''[[Melee]]'''s ''Sokuhō''.

The pages are written by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] and other developers during the creation of each game, giving information about characters and modes as they were in development.

==''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Smabura-Ken''==
The original ''Smabura-Ken'' detailed all aspects of the game, including characters, modes, stages, and unlockable content. It also contained polls, a questionnaire, and even a manual covering basic and advanced techniques, such as [[Z-canceling]], [[tech]]ing, and [[DI]].

==''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Smabura-Ken''==
The ''Super Smash Bros. Melee Smabura-Ken'' launched in May 2001 and ended February 2002. It detailed the characters and modes in the game, as well as events pertaining to the game, such the Super Smash Brothers DX Orchestra Concert, Nintendo Space World 2001, [[Electronic Entertainment Expo#E3_2001|E3 2001]], and the Camera Mode Contest. It also includes interviews of staff members involved in the game, and pre- and post-release questionnaires containing tidbits about the development and Sakurai's thoughts on the game.

This is the only iteration of Smabura-Ken that was not officially translated to English.

==''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Smabura-Ken''==
Masahiro Sakurai launched the ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl Smabura-Ken'' around May 22, 2007. He updated the site every weekday with posts containing information on characters, how to play ''Brawl'', game modes, stages, items, music, and more. He also posted a collection of handpicked Snapshots submitted via Nintendo Wi-Fi. Sakurai kept updating the site every weekday until April 14, 2008, though he still continued to make a few periodical posts afterwards.

This website was translated into many different languages, such as American English, British English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. The only update exclusive to one language was ''New Launch and E for All'', which was exclusive to the American English site as the convention took place in North America.

On June 11, 2013, the website's URL was changed to make way for information on ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
