Smash Masters stats: Tracking our Week 3 performance across all 5 Smash Bros. games

After close bouts in the first two weeks of Smash Masters, Week 3 was quite lopsided.

A third week of Smash Masters competition is now officially in the rearview mirror, adding on to a long-term quest of collecting data from our matches and slowly getting better at all five games.

While we’ve both been longtime fans of the Super Smash Bros. series, having both the weekly Smash Masters exhibition and a more expansive data set to track our stats has breathed new life into old games for both my wife and I.

Though we certainly don’t enjoy all five of the games in the series on an equal level, it’s incredibly fun to see the series progress in real-time by playing matches in all of them throughout the course of a day, with each game playing at least slightly differently.

Playing all five of the games in a competitive matter isn’t something new to us, or the competitive scene as a whole for that matter. While we initially played similar sets during our first deep fixation with the series in the summer of 2020, the concept itself was born at the Supernova tournament series, formerly known as Super Smash Con.

The tournament is known across the competitive communities of the entire series to be a vibrant celebration of the games, typically being the only major or supermajor tournament throughout the entire year that includes tournaments for all five mainline Smash Bros. games.

Though the specific event has since been retired, the tournament previously held a “Smash Masters” exhibition event, which included best-of-three sets in all of the Smash Bros. games at the time.

Our series operates a bit differently – we play a total of 25 matches across the five games, with five matches in each game regardless of how many wins one player stacks up – with the goal of reaching a minimum of 13 wins to secure the victory. While a win can be secured prior to the completion of the series, we do always play all the way through all five games.

For the purpose of uploading these videos to YouTube, we’ve both adopted tags to include – I go under SinRostro in the videos, while my wife is Snicks. Our ruleset for each game can be found in the description of each video.

Here’s a look at the results from Week 3:
