The site is ALMOST BACK. If you see this message we've made it to the new server. There's still a few configurations and servers to set up so that we can handle the normal load of the site, but things should be working smoothly soon!

An update from the Anther himself. First I would like to thank you all for being patient while this process finishes! Estimating about 5 more hours of moving the data. After that probably up to three hours of getting everything configured correctly. If the site's auto timezone guessing is still working then good things should be happening at around June 15, 2017 12:00pm This migration is a result of the site running out of database space! So I'm in the process of moving it to a new one where database space can be dynamically adjusted so that this shouldn't happen again in this way. Things might be a little laggy while adjusting to the new architecture.

First I'd like to thank everyone for participating and using the ranking system here on SmashLadder! Though this was previously unannounced, I'd like to give out prizes for all of the active ladders for the players that made the grind to the top of the 2016 Quarter 2 Season. The prizes are staggered based on the activity of the ladders. We'll be contacting the winners soon after a few verification steps.

Today marks the beginning of a new Smashladder Era. Besides being bought out by Pikachu Overlords, today begins our transition to the most fair game on the planet
Rock Paper Scissors!

2 Years of SmashLadder! Today Marks the 2 year Anniversary of the launch of the website! With over 2,188,999 matches played and a little over 5000 players using the site per day now! It's been great running it and I'm looking forward to adding new features and updating old ones to keep making the experience even more awesome ;).

Smash 4 Update - After poll results, the rest of this season is going to be played out with 2 stock battles instead of 3 stocks!
