Notability is a quality defined for the purposes of this Wiki as any article about a smasher or crew that has a significant presence in competitive Smash Bros. This is the exclusive standard and definition for whether a crew or smasher is notable. Some things that qualify a smasher or crew as notable:

  • Has participated in or organized an offline tournament that is run by standard tournament rules or a reasonably similar variant, and has some level of regional or national recognition.
  • Has contributed high-level content to, or administrates at, recognized websites pertaining to Smash Bros. other than this wiki.
  • Can prove legitimate regional or national fame otherwise not covered by these guidelines.

Notable players

When adding a Smasher to a character fighter page's notability, please be sure that one of the following are true:

  • We have a page on the Smasher and they main or are particularly notable with the character in question.
  • A link providing proof of notability (Smashboards is preferred) is given in the edit summary.

The smasher also must meet the following criteria:

  • Place highly in multiple tournaments largely using the character in question compared to other mains of the character.
  • Must have national recognition for their usage of the character outside of sandbagging and/or must have made significant contributions to the character's meta.
