Supporting SSB World
SSB World will continue to grow through the generosity of its members and visitors. We gladly accept support through a variety of mechanisms. We want to plan for a sustainable and healthy future, that allows us to focus more on building new features to help support competitive Smash.

We’ve considered a number of options—erecting a paywall, sponsored content, introducing many more ads, including those ones where a video automatically plays on each page load. For various reasons, mostly because we think they ruin the experience of enjoying our Smash content, we've elected not to take those routes.
Fortunately, we have Patreon, a way to connect to the Smash community we hope to serve. And as we considered the possibilities of Patreon we became excited as we realized that we could do better than simply sustain the status quo.

Our Patreon Goals
- $200/month – Player vs player matchup search to easily find VODs and head to head stats from those videos.
- $500/month – Filter pages and data by YouTube publish date. This will allow you to see stats for how players and characters are performing in selected timeframes or find VODs that align with a certain patch.
- $1,000/month – Advanced search (any combo of players + characters + stages + win/loss). This will allow you to find the perfect VOD. Example: Find a video where "Mega Man beats Cloud on Battlefield" or "Nairo's loses against Bayonetta on Smashville."
- $3,000/month - Sponsor a Smash player. SSB World Patrons will help pick and the player and we will Sponsor them at a budget of ~$1,000/month.
There are two people working on SSB World nearly around the clock. Helping us reach our support goals listed above would make this a healthy, sustainable project and make the site so much better with increased focus on constant improvements and iterations. Our dream would be for this to become our full-time focus instead of a side project.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve this fabulous, growing community.
