The cooking is complete.
I'm happy to announce the public launch of
@SmashProsGG
under a new title:
🟩 🟩
Matchbox will serve as a ladder system for ranked SSBU, providing an NA/Europe equivalent to Japan's SmashMate.
Good luck, & enjoy the grind.
Congrats to Sonix for taking 1st at Port Prioty 8!
Sonix joined Smash Pros within the last month and already brought home the W for NA. Coincidence? We think not.
To celebrate NA smash, we're handing out 100 beta invites below 👇
With our first season coming to a close. We'd like to highlight our closed beta champs for both NA and EU 👏
Stay tuned for a special announcement regarding the next season 👀
An additional reminder that we are still in closed beta. We opted for a much larger closed beta to be able to better stress test and optimize the site before public launch.
More closed beta invites will be sent soon :)

Hey thanks for bringing this to our attention. This isn't the experience we want our players to have on the platform. We're looking into this incident and will be improving our conduct for handling disputing across our team.
Character leaderboards are here!
If you have 25 or more games with any of your top 3 characters, you will appear on their character leaderboard.
Explore all character leaderboards here 👇
Last night's group session was a huge success. A record number of sets were played, with over 1000 sets completed in the last 24 hours.
With the huge surge of interest in the platform and lots of valuable feedback given, we are going to delay the launch of the open beta.
Assuming smash mate is like anthers. I would use it. I don't really care for online tournaments but I would enjoy climbing a leader board that everyone else is involved in. And I could use the mod and not care about rules🥳🥳
Over 100 matches were played in last nights group session 🔥
If you are a high level player or streamer, feel free to send a DM for early access before the public beta drops!
To all closed beta testers, we will be hosting a group session tonight at 6PM CST (under two hours).
In other news, over 1000 sets were played on the platform this weekend 🔥
Thank you to all who have participated. Hope to see many of you again tonight!
🎮 Smash Pros Maintenance Mode 🛠️
Hold onto your controllers, folks! Our website is taking a quick pit stop in the "Smashville" 🏡 for some maintenance. Don't worry, it's not a battle royale – just a tech takedown!
⏱️ Estimated downtime: 30 minutes (the time it takes for Kirby…
To all closed beta participants, there will be a group session starting tonight at 8:30 CST
We received an overwhelming amount of interest in participating in the closed beta in the past few days. More invites will be sent out to those who replied to the prev post.
the urge to assemble a team…
to create an NA-equivalent to Smashmate called Coinbattles…
with a fully functioning site/app and ranking system…
with cash prizes + flights given out to the top placing ranks of each region
imagine the daily content players could make…
hmmmm
To kick off our Kickstarter campaign we are giving away an Arduino training mode mod! The rules are simple, retweet to enter the draw. Supporters will be given additional entries into the draw.
The winner will be announced Friday at noon (Central Time)
Also new in this update is unranked queue and support for ranked seasons.
The open beta season will start as soon as the european queue has been appropriately tested. Stay tuned!
If you are a notable player/personality in the EU scene, we'd love to hand a few invites to help populate the EU side of the platform. Comment/DM if you'd like to help :)
We are excited that the community is having a great experience so far. Invites will continue to be sent out to further stress test the platform leading up to the open beta.
The release of the open beta should only be an additional week or two.
We are going to use the extra time to scale up our servers to be able to handle a much larger player base. There are also a few more things we'd like to implement to make sure the platform is ready to be used by all members of the community.
@exJORDANary
We've given out the vast majority of invites to the public than to specific players. We don't have time to limit our invites to the best players, we're too busy working on open beta release :)
Thought Brood was the only player popping off with the plant?
@firstbones
is Piranha Plant main ranked 1st in Italy with an incredible 80% win rate 👏
@SmashBrosItalia
We will be running a group matchmaking session at 8pm CDT tonight!
If you're not in the beta and would like to participate, leave a reply here and an invite will be on the way shortly ✉️
Tonight's test introduces introduces:
-Dispute set option
-Request to cancel set option
-5 min cooldown on matching with your last played opponent
-Viewable player profiles via leaderboard
@ShinyMark1
He's
#1
due to going on a win streak in his initial matches and beating the former
#1
player twice.
We noticed this and are implementing placement matches to better calibrate a player before placing them on the leaderboard 🙂
Tonight's testing session is wrapping up. If you want to participate in the next one, we'll be sending out more invites for next time.
Reply here if you would like to be invited in the next wave!
@TalonUvU
Definitely on the to do list. Since it's in closed beta, we don't have enough players in the system to be able to make use of location preferences. As the user base scales, we will place more importance on implementing this.
@SmaxSSB
Yes! The platform works as both a website and app. The app could be launched immediately on the Google play store. iOS would take just a little longer but is already setup to be launched there as well.
@SilverCaptainU
Yessir!
The matchmaking queue is the core feature of our site and we're focused on testing it with the limited amount of players in the closed beta.
We will look at adding this as soon as the ranked matchmaking experience is complete.
First 100 invites have been sent out via email. If you didn't get invited, we will be sending out more soon!
If you're attending BOBC this weekend, there will be ways to score beta invites as well 👀
V 0.5.6
Added 2GG's Week 1 Ruleset including hazards on and off visual aids!
Smash:
- New result page displayed at the end of a set
- added hazard icons to stages that use hazards
In the last 48 hours, over 700 players from around the world have registered for the platform 🤯 Over 200 of them are PR'd in their region and a handful are even on the current PGR!
That being said, when should we launch the first wave of invites?
Invites have been sent to all remaining applicants to the beta!
Please check your spam folder for the invite if it doesn't show up.
We will be having a group test session starting at 9ET. Hope to see you all there 🙂
Smash Pros version 1.0.0 released. A new resources section has been added with frame data on 30 characters. The play set page has been upgraded and now includes a ruleset preview button as well as an option to play a set with only the stage strike step.
