'''Greatest of all time''', often shortened to '''GOAT''', is an informal title used by a fanbase to label a person considered the best ever to compete or participate in a particular field. The term is most widely used in professional sports; for example, most basketball players and fans consider either {{iw|wikipedia|Michael Jordan}} or {{iw|wikipedia|LeBron James}}. It is also used in other competitive fields such as chess or video gaming; {{iw|wikipedia|Faker|gamer}} is widely seen as the greatest ''League of Legends'' player of all time.

==Across all ''Smash'' games==
{{Sm|Mew2King}} is often considered the greatest player across all ''Smash'' titles due to his success in multiple ''Smash'' titles. Mew2King is recognized as the greatest ''Brawl'' player of all time, one of the best ''Melee'' players of all-time, and a strong ''Project M'' and ''Smash 4'' player, having placed top eight at many major tournaments. Mew2King is well known for his enjoyment of every ''Smash'' title and is one of the only top players who has spent their career competing in multiple games at once; since 2008, he has simultaneously played ''Melee'' and the newest ''Smash'' game at the time: ''Brawl'' from 2008-2014, ''Smash 4'' from 2014-2018, and ''Ultimate'' since 2018, in addition to ''Project M'' from 2014-2015. Mew2King is also perhaps the most recognized player across the entire competitive ''Super Smash Bros.'' scene.
The tournament series {{Trn|Super Smash Con|series}} has run an exhibition event called "Smash Masters", in which players compete against each other across all official ''Smash'' titles, in an attempt to determine the best overall ''Smash'' player. Mew2King won Smash Masters in 2016 and 2018, {{Sm|Wizzrobe}} won in 2017, and {{Sm|ZeRo}} won in 2019.
