Omega Tyrant (talk | contribs) m (→Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: →Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: This is a fucking mess, why the hell are all these tournaments listed as "holding the record", when there is clearly one tournament that was largest on launch day and so held the record alone? Also get Smash Out off this list, DPITG was larger and thus held the record for that very brief period, don't overcomplicate this.) |
m (→Overall: Wii U at EVO 2015 and 2016 started at the same time as Melee but ended a day before Melee. As such, I don't see a point in listing EVO 2015 and 2016 for Melee here is Wii U had a larger entrants count at both events) |

|January 30th-July 17th, 2015||[[Apex 2015]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||1,037||{{Sm|PPMD|USA}}||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''. It was the largest tournament before DLC fighters were added to ''Smash Wii U''. | |January 30th-July 17th, 2015||[[Apex 2015]]||{{GameIcon|Melee}}||1,037||{{Sm|PPMD|USA}}||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.
