No official ruling exists in the rarer case of "act of God" crashes where no active players may be considered responsible for the crash. In most tournaments, the match is restarted with the same characters on the same stage, with some tournaments adding the stipulation that players [[self-destruct]] to get stocks back to what they were when the game crashed. | No official ruling exists in the rarer case of "act of God" crashes where no active players may be considered responsible for the crash.

==What to do if your game crashes== | |||
Don't panic. Usually your game just needs to be rebooted. If you restart and your game is still not loaded, a full power off of your console might be necessary. If the game is still not loaded then different procedures might be necessary. | |||
*In Smash Bros 64/3DS/Ultimate, try blowing in the cartridge. Sometimes dust prevents the console from reading your cartridge | |||
correctly. | |||
*In Smash Bros Melee/Brawl/Wii U, try cleaning off the disc for the same reasons as above. | |||
