*{{Sm|Mango}} went through a period where he adopted the persona of "[[Scorpion Master]]", and used {{SSBM|Mario}} at several tournaments; the most well-known of these instances was [[Apex 2010]], where he placed 25th in ''Melee'' singles instead of his usual top 4 placing.

*American ''Smash 64'' player Isai is infamous for his frequent sandbagging at tournaments for the game, often by refusing to use his main {{SSB|Pikachu}} in high-stakes matches or by using low or bottom [[tier]]ed characters throughout a tournament.

**At [[Apex 2012]], Isai only used the bottom-tiered {{SSB|Link}} en route to a second place finish to {{Sm|SuperBoomFan}}. In an exhibition match against {{Sm|Captain Jack}} in ''[[Melee]]'' at the same tournament, Isai [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyfxNPkp67Q played in an obvious sandbagging manner]~~, much to the audience's disappointment~~.

**At the ''Smash 64'' tournament in [[Apex 2013]], Isai again sandbagged with his character choice, this time using {{SSB|Mario}}, despite the crowd yelling for him to use {{SSB|Pikachu}} several times. He placed second again, this time defeating SuperBoomFan, but losing to {{Sm|Kikoushi}} in winners' and grand finals.

**At the ''Smash 64'' tournament in [[Apex 2014]], Isai once again sandbagged by exclusively using the low-tiered {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}. Unlike Apex 2012 and 2013, however, Isai placed first in singles without losing a single set, with {{Sm|Moyashi}} placing second below Isai.
