On 20 June 2013, Smashboard member GreatGonzales began an unofficial open census of the Super Smash Bros. community that took place across several community websites including Smashboards, GameFAQs, Kitty Corp Meow Mix and All is Brawl. The census was closed on 12 August with 733 people having responded to the census. An additional 41 people people were able to take the census due to an error of the census becoming open again but these responses were not included in the analysis.

After analysis, the census suggests the overwhelming majority of the players not planning to purchase either version of the fourth iteration of Super Smash Bros. consider Melee their favorite game. The census also suggests that the presence of tiers have little statistical influence on character presence in tournaments, which may be very inaccurate. {{ref|Census1}} | After analysis, the census suggests the overwhelming majority of the players not planning to purchase either version of the fourth iteration of Super Smash Bros. consider Melee their favorite game.
