{{Incomplete|Smash 4 information still needed. May need more information for Ultimate}}

Port priority determines the winner in certain cases of simultaneous KOs, including those that involve the use of suicide techniques. In this field, its influence in ''Melee'' differs from that in ''Brawl''. In ''Melee'', the outcome of simultaneous KOs during normal stock matches is not determined by port priority, regardless of their causes. However, when a match involving two players is tied and [[Sudden Death]] is initiated, if both players are KOd at the same time, the player with the lowest port wins the match. In ''Smash 64'' however, the player with the highest port wins the match; matches won't even go to Sudden Death. In addition, ''Smash 64'' ranks each player based on port; so in a 4 way tie P4 would get first place, P3 gets second, P2 earns third and P1 is stuck with last place.

Unlike ''Melee'', the winner of a simultaneous KO during a Sudden Death match in ''Brawl'' is random, and unaffected by port priority (aside from Kirby's up throw; where the player with the highest port wins).<ref>http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=166063 Amazing Ampharos' Sudden Death information</ref> However, in the [[NTSC]] and NTSC-J versions of ''Brawl'', it does affect the use of {{SSBB|Bowser}}'s [[Flying Slam]] as a [[sacrificial KO]] technique. If, during a stock match involving two players, Bowser uses Flying Slam to sacrificial KO on both players' last stocks, Bowser will either win or a Sudden Death match will be initiated. In this scenario, if the Bowser player's port is lower than that of his or her opponent's port, the Bowser player wins the match. However, if the Bowser player's port is higher, Sudden Death initiates. In the [[PAL]] version of ''Brawl'', the use of Flying Slam in the aforementioned manner will win Bowser the match regardless of port priority.
