*No more than ten players can be listed in a character's section, unless the character in question has been approved to have a higher limit due to having an especially large playerbase and many top-level players, in which case that limit should be adhered to. If an editor believes a character should have their limit increased, or decreased in the case one believes a character's limit is too lenient, it should be brought up for discussion on the character's talk page. | *No more than ten players can be listed in a character's section, unless the character in question has been approved to have a higher limit due to having an especially large playerbase and many top-level players, in which case that limit should be adhered to.

**On a related note, the player limit is not a mandatory minimum either, and it is discouraged to add more players to a character's section just to fill the limit out. | **On a related note, the player limit is not a mandatory minimum either, and it is discouraged to add more players to a character's section just to fill the limit out. | ||
**The following characters will share their sections due to being nearly identical gameplay-wise: {{SSBU|Daisy}} and {{SSBU|Peach}}, {{SSBU|Richter}} and {{SSBU|Simon}}, {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} and {{SSBU|Samus}}, and [[Dark Pit]] and [[Pit]] (in both ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''). | **The following characters will share their sections due to being nearly identical gameplay-wise: {{SSBU|Daisy}} and {{SSBU|Peach}}, {{SSBU|Richter}} and {{SSBU|Simon}}, {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} and {{SSBU|Samus}}, and [[Dark Pit]] and [[Pit]] (in both ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''). Additionally, {{SSBU|Pyra}} and {{SSBU|Mythra}} will share their sections due to being a two in one character. | ||
**When a new character is released, no section will be allowed for the character until six months after their release. After the six months point has been reached, a section will be allowed to be made for the character, but only with a five player limit until a year after the character's release, where they'll then be allowed the standard ten player limit. In the event of a new Smash game, this rule must be adhered to for the game's entire base roster, starting from the game's official worldwide release. | **When a new character is released, no section will be allowed for the character until six months after their release.

*Players in these sections should have placed placed highly in several high-caliber tournaments with many especially noteworthy wins using the character in question, and their overall placements/wins should be among the greatest on a historical scale relative to other players of the character. Some leniency is expected for the less represented/lower tiered characters, but it should be within reason. | *Players in these sections should have placed placed highly in several high-caliber tournaments with many especially noteworthy wins using the character in question, and their overall placements/wins should be among the greatest on a historical scale relative to other players of the character.
