Here are useful links I have discovered and documented in my journey as a smash researcher.
HARD DATA
Frame Data – Kurogane Hammer’s archive of all character Frame Data, and other game attributes.
Hitbox/Frame Data/KO Percentages – Thinkaman’s Smashboards thread. The data is difficult to interpret if you don’t know what you’re looking for, but the data is good nonetheless.
Smash 4 Calculator – Spacejam’s Smash 4 Knockback, Hitstun & Shield Advantage Calculator
SSB4 On-Shield Data – Spreadsheet on Google Drive (Author unknown!)
CHATS/FORUMS
Smashboards – A forum that much of the competitive smash community frequents, contains guides and information that is great for the learning player.
Discord Competitive Smash Chat – a tool to communicate with other players about various smash related things.
TOURNAMENTS
US Smash Tournaments – smash.gg’s website, where you can view and register for bigger tournaments around the United States.
TOP LEVEL GAMES ARCHIVE
SSBWorld is a fantastic resource for all players to study character and player matchups. Their interface allows you to search any character, or browse the list of players who have YouTube footage of their matches.
