''Ultimate'''s other Ironman-like mode is [[Squad Strike]], that has its own three formats available. The most popular is the "Tag Team" format, where a normal 3 or 5 stock match is done, but with each player's stock being a different character. This more condensed format has made it much more popular than standard Ironman as an actual side-event at tournaments, as it can be run as a normal open bracket that any player at a tournament can partake in and still fit into the tournament's schedule. For a more standard Ironman fare, the "Elimination" format is nearly identical to a standard Ironman format, but with the difference being that the winner's [[damage]] is carried over into the next match too, with an option to recover a set amount between 0-100 damage between matches instead of being recovered completely, and the mode only supports each player having 3 or 5 characters. | ''Ultimate'''s other Ironman-like mode is [[Squad Strike]], that has its own three formats available.

These Echo bans may not extend to {{SSBU|Lucina}}, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, and especially {{SSBU|Ken}} however, as a significant amount of players believe they are functionally distinct enough from their parent character to not inherently advantage players that play them, but where the line is drawn varies from tournament to tournament, if an Echo ban is in effect at all. | ||
