Record progressionEdit

The editor who added this tag elaborates: All Smash games besides Melee and Ultimate have important early record progression missing, record holders with less than 100 entrants are still important to document.

OverallEdit

This table lists the historical timeline of the records for the largest Smash tournament of all time overall.

Note: Due to a lack of verifiable data, records from 2003 and earlier remain unclear. Notably, there are claims that IVGF NorthWest Regionals had 151 entrants, which would have made it the largest Smash tournament until MELEE-FC3, but due to the lack of definitive sources to verify that number, it is excluded from this list. Tournament Go 4 and Tournament Go 5 could have each also possibly held the record for largest Smash tournament in their time with their purported entrant count of up to around 90, but they remain similarly excluded from this list for their exact attendance being unverifiable.

Dates held Tournament Game Entrants Winner Notes
January 10th-July 9th, 2004 Game Over   85   Ken While there were possibly larger tournaments before Game Over, this is the first tournament of a major-level scale to have a verified exact entrant count. It was the first major tournament with all items turned off.

August 21st, 2004-January 15th, 2005 Tournament Go 6   112   Ken The first tournament to have verifiably exceeded 100 entrants.

July 12th-August 24th, 2007 MELEE-FC Diamond   256   Mew2King
August 24th, 2007-August 30th, 2008 EVO World 2007   270   Ken Fastest to beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall at 41 days after MELEE-FC Diamond.
August 30th, 2008-January 16th, 2010 AxisGaming   303   DSF First time a game other than Melee has beaten the record for the largest Smash tournament overall. Largest Smash tournament of the 2000s.
January 16th, 2010-January 6th, 2012 Pound 4   347   Mango Largest Melee tournament in the pre-EVO 2013 era.
January 6th, 2012-July 12th, 2013 Apex 2012   400   Otori Current record holder for the largest Brawl tournament.
July 12th, 2013-July 11th, 2014 EVO 2013   709   Mango This tournament is considered the beginning of the Platinum Age, and despite an unprecedented number of entrants, it would be followed by even larger tournaments in the years to come.
July 11th, 2014-January 30th, 2015 EVO 2014   970   Mango
January 30th-July 17th, 2015 Apex 2015   1,037   PPMD First tournament to reach 1,000 entrants, and, since EVO 2013, the only non-EVO tournament to ever hold the record as the largest Smash tournament overall. However, due to the tournament's venue change, a significant number of players are suspected to have been unable to show up to the new venue. Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest Smash tournament of all time. It would also break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: Smash 64, Melee, and Smash Wii U.
July 17th, 2015-July 15th, 2016 EVO 2015   1,926   ZeRo Beat the record for the largest Smash tournament overall by the largest margin, at 889 more entrants than Melee at Apex 2015. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters finished releasing in Smash Wii U.
July 15th, 2016-August 2nd, 2019 EVO 2016   2,662   Ally Current record holder for the largest Smash 4 tournament. It was the first Smash tournament to break 2,000 entrants, along with Melee at the same event.
August 2nd, 2019-present EVO 2019   3,534   MkLeo Current record holder for the largest Smash tournament of all time, and currently the largest Ultimate tournament. It was the first Smash tournament to break 3,000 entrants. It has held the record for the largest Smash tournament overall for the longest time. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters finished releasing in Ultimate.

Thus, based on actual attendance, it is disputable whether Apex 2015 can be considered as holding the title of the largest Smash 64 tournament of all time. It would also break the record for the largest tournament in the most Smash games at three: Smash 64, Melee, and Smash Wii U.
