FAQ
1. Why create this website?
Many Japanese top players have spoken out about Smashmate being the reason as to why they became good at the game. The goal of Smash the Peak is to give a similar opportunity to European Smash Players.
2. But are there not already other online ladders?
Of course. But they all have their own problems: barebones functionality, not being available to Europe, lack of polish and UX or simply being inactive. I started this project on the 15th September 2024, and wanted to give it my all no matter what. For the love of the game and to gain experience as a developer. This project is an attempt to have an Europe-wide ladder such that our region can better compete with the rest of the world.
3. What does Smash the Peak do differently?
We use a statistics-based approach which means turning the data of all your games into valuable statistics to help you improve as a player. Some examples include:
- Country data (average Elo, country H2Hs)
- Character data (win rates, matchups, popularities)
- Player data (country rank, EU rank, H2Hs, match history)
- Stage pick rates
And besides that a completely unique design!
4. How are you going to stop this ladder dying off after two months like all the other ladders?
Seasons, player smurfs, active developer support, custom events and much more!
5. How are you financing this website?
By myself and the upcoming subscription model that will mostly offer cosmetic features.
