Tournament Mode

This article is about the game mode. For information on competitive tournaments, see Tournaments.

Tournament Mode is a feature in Super Smash Bros. Melee and is set returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl which features three modes:

• Tournament
• Loser out
• Winner out

Tournament

In the tournament mode, players battle against each other in turns. Several options can be chosen for tournaments, including:

• The number of competitors in a tournament (ranging from 4-64 (32 in Brawl) in two or four player tournaments and 6-27 in three player tournaments)
• The number of computers and humans in a tournament
• How many players fight in each tournament match
• How stages are selected
• The CPU level of computer players (Levels 1-9 as well as a random option)
• Individual custom rules for matches

In Brawl there is some more options such as:

• Handicap for individual players and computers
• Set a player to "Drop out" computers that will automatically drop out when their match comes so that people can play with uneven amounts of players.

Loser out

This mode is also played in turns, but unlike Tournament, where the game ends when a final winner is proclaimed, this lasts forever (or at least until the player decides to stop playing). The loser of each match "drops out" and has to wait until it is his or her turn again.

Winner out

This mode is exactly the same as the aforementioned loser out mode, except that the winner of each match drops out instead of the loser.
