The Smash Hall of Fame launched on 1/26/08 with the induction of the first class. Voted on by the Smash Back Room on Smashboards, the Smash Hall of Fame honors the most influential members of the Smash Bros. community.
Voting Process
During the nomination period, members of the Smash Back Room name influential Smashers that deserve consideration. These nominations are tallied, and the top twelve most-nominated move on to the voting period. Out of the twelve nominated, six are chosen to represent that year's class. Nominations and voting for the second class begin in December 2008.
Depending on the year and the size of the community, the Smash Back Room may decide to induct fewer or more members into future classes.
Eligibility
All Smashers are eligible. Though the Smash Back Room originally considered separate Hall of Fames for tournament hosts, competitive players and general influential members, it was eventually decided to remain with one consolidated program.
One unresolved issue is how to treat non-U.S. Smashers. In the future, if the importance of the international Smash communities and their contributing members continue to get overlooked in the nominations, the community as a whole may decide to open international Hall of Fames.
