Kansai is a national tournament series featuring Super Smash Bros. held in Japan every year since 2010, with 2 outlying tournaments in 2008. The tournaments series started off using a single elimination bracket with best-of-one matches until the finals. In 2015, they switched to double elimination and in 2018, they switched to best-of-three in the winners bracket. The rules also include a "character-lock" which means each player is forced to use only one character for the entire tournament. A "B" tournament/amateur bracket has also been held for players who finish outside of top 4 in pools in recent years.
