| Winner Out could be seen as an extension of Loser Out, as it operates in the same way, except the winner of each match has to pass their controller on and return to the queue. The random character feature is also present. | | Winner Out could be seen as an extension of Loser Out, as it operates in the same way, except the winner of each match has to pass their controller on and return to the queue.

| ==Usage in competitive [[tournament]]s==
| |
| Tournament Mode is rarely used in actual competitive play, due to a variety of limitations in the mode in comparison to the rather complex structures that serious tournaments require:
| |
| *Tournament matches consist of a set of 3 or 5 games, while Tournament Mode only allows single-game sets.
| |
| *Tournament matches allow players to use any character for any game in any match, while Tournament Mode forces players to remain a single character for the entire tournament.
| |
| *Tournaments almost never use a single-elimination bracket, which is the only bracket type available in Tournament Mode.
| |
| *Tournaments require their brackets to be properly [[seeding|seeded]] for reasonably accurate results, while Tournament Mode gives no control over seeding and forces a randomized bracket.
| |
| *Tournaments rarely enforce a limit to the maximum number of players and can contain hundreds of participants, while Tournament Mode cannot handle more than a limited 64.
| |
| *Tournaments require multiple setups to be run efficiently, while Tournament Mode can only exist on a single setup.
| |
|
| |
| For the prospect of using Tournament Mode to keep track of a tournament, rather than actually playing a tournament with it, there exists tournament organizing programs such as [[tio]], which are much more efficient in aiding tournament organization than Tournament Mode could ever be. Additionally, using Tournament Mode in such a way uses up setups that could be used to progress the tournament.
