This is the ruleset for SSBU. For other rulesets and general info on tournament legal settings, see Tournament rulesets.

Tournament legal describes the rules and settings that are accepted for use in competitive Smash tournaments. In SSBU, while many elements of tournament rulesets are generally consistent across major tournaments, some details vary from tournament to tournament.

General ruleset

Singles

  • 3 stocks
  • 8 minutes
  • Items are turned off and none
  • Stage hazards are off
  • Final Smash meters are off
  • Similar to previous Smash titles, if time runs out, the winner is first determined by how much stocks remain, and then by the percentage after time is up.
    • If both stock and percentage are the same, or a game ends in both players losing their last stock at the same time, then a tiebreaker is played, which consists of 1 stock and 3 minute match with the same characters and the same stage.

Doubles

  • All the rules for singles apply
  • Team attack is on
