About
supersmashbros.online is a fan-made guide to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros series. We cover every game in the franchise — from the 1999 Nintendo 64 original to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on Switch — with plain-language explanations of how matches work, what each game added, and how the competitive scene operates.
This site started from a simple frustration: most Smash info online is scattered across wikis, forums, and decade-old threads. We wanted one place where a new player could learn the damage-percentage system in five minutes, and where a returning fan could quickly check which DLC fighters landed in which Fighters Pass.
We're not affiliated with Nintendo, HAL Laboratory, Bandai Namco, or any game publisher. Everything here is written by fans who play the games, based on publicly available information and our own time with the series. When facts matter — release dates, roster counts, sales figures — we check them against reliable sources before publishing.
What you'll find here: game-by-game breakdowns of the five main entries, beginner-friendly explanations of Smash mechanics (stocks, smash attacks, Final Smashes), fighter archetype guides, single-player mode coverage like World of Light, and the basics of the competitive scene. No rumors presented as fact, no clickbait tier lists — just straight answers.
A bit of context on the series itself: Super Smash Bros began in 1999 as a four-player party brawler on the Nintendo 64, created by Masahiro Sakurai at HAL Laboratory. It grew into one of gaming's biggest crossovers, with Ultimate's 86-fighter roster pulling in characters from Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Minecraft, and Kingdom Hearts. That crossover spirit is what makes the series special — and what makes it worth documenting properly.
Our approach is simple: lead with the answer, keep the language plain, and link claims to solid ground. Release dates, roster counts, and sales figures are checked against reliable sources before they go up. Strategy notes come from actual play, not theory. And when we don't know something — like whether a new Smash game is on the way — we say so instead of dressing up speculation.
The site is updated when something actually changes in the Smash world. Got a correction or a suggestion? Head over to the contact page — we read everything.
