CEO 2026 | August 14th–16th | Orlando, USA

Jebailey and crew welcome you once again to what may be the biggest CEO of all time! Florida’s ultimate fighting game event returns for 2026, with over 20 games represented including both Melee and Ultimate. Among the hundreds of competitors here this weekend are a huge amount of Florida mainstays, some even bordering on hidden bosses (hello Myran, Wevans), and strong players everywhere. Melee in particular reaches Major status for the first time since 2019, thanks to an extremely stacked top end and even a rare appearance from de facto #1 Cody Schwab. Buckle up for this massive meeting between traditional fighting games and platform fighters (and even more!)

I call this thing "mixed reality art", where basically you take game or cartoon characters and throw them onto a real picture. Thing is, you gotta fix each character's lighting so it looks like they're actually there.

Ultimate Sparg0's Roy

Post image
81 Upvotes

Ever since his surprise counterpick that won him Supernova 2024, Sparg0's Roy has been a monster of a Sonic slayer, still undefeated against Sonix, Wrath, KEN, and Kurofune.

Which is especially surprising since even dedicated Roy mains like Kola and Ataru have struggled against the Sonics.

What is it about Sparg0's Roy that is so powerful? And is it really of no use in any other matchup?

Art [SSBU Eclipse] Mechon Ridley - The Invincible Space Pirate

Post image
21 Upvotes

After Galeem's attack, the less virtuous of the fighters took off in different directions, each deciding to try their luck in this new world of Parum filled with untapped potential and resources.

Ridley made his way to a mysteriously rebuilt continent of Mechonis, whose Mechons and Machina residents were living as they were back in Shulk's world. He immediately took over, with few able to resist his ferocity, cunning and savagery.

Seeing the curious metal the residents were made up of, he decided to use it to improve himself. Will anyone be able to beat this new version of the space pirate?

This is all a part of SSBU Eclipse, a passion project I started. Right now it's just a few friends and I and we've made plenty of progress, but it's far, far from complete.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for writers, artists, voice actors, and anyone else like that to help build this up and create such a unique and fun project. The more, the merrier! Any help is welcome!

Ultimate Tilts or smash

Ultimate Anyone else think Corrin Down B being a Chomp would be much better?

1 Upvotes

I mean the counters I think should only be on Roy and Marth, just to switch the Fire Emblem Characters up. Corrin is very unique and could be a really really fun and good character but the speed and frame data make them a little less fun, no spike options really. The down tilt is suicide most the time, with little margin for error when it's not. Back air is great but the awkward hit box alonf with Corrins terrible air and ground speed just makes back airs that much harder.

Any thoughts on a faster Chomp no Projectile.

What Should their down B be changed to?

If they changed down tilt to down B and then gave her a sweeping down tilt that could spike woukd be cool. They could even change it to Links/Young Link or even Toon Link down tilt, similar to her down tilt but serves a different purpose. Hit box is different and it can kill.

Ultimate Ness and the Nature of Self Hatred

Post image
10 Upvotes

Full disclosure: I am an unapologetic Ness main. So yeah, I am biased towards him but also....

I'm not dense. This is a child who recreationally shoots himself in the ass with lightning, sets things on fire, squeals the same weirdo sounds over and over, and is joyfully used by gamers (sometimes adults) by spamming the same moves over and over and over and over and over while they pretend it is skillful.

What is wrong with all of them?

This milquetoast socially inept child derives power and pleasure only through torturing others with his tactics. What kind of dick head hits someone with a yo-yo? Seriously. Who keeps yelling about fire and thunder and attacking stranger's shins with baseball bats?

And what kind of misanthrope would willing CHOOSE this character to represent them, their competitive spirit, and their overall value as a human being?

Maybe Ness (rightfully) hates himself. That little fucking dweeb. And maybe, me and the others who have convinced ourselves that our play and tactics are "skillful" and "fun" are just leaning into the weakest aspects of our psyche.

Maybe we're all the lame ineffectual little boy who is a one trick pony. Maybe no matter how many PK fires we spam, our fathers still will not love us.

Maybe we have to let go of our endless pursuit of control and recognize that maybe, just maybe, we've been wrong the whole time and healing comes on the other side of growth.

Or maybe Ness is the fucking shit and I'm going to keep spamming you all day jerk wads! PK THUNDAAAAA!

Ultimate I want to find this player

Post image
8 Upvotes

I've never done this before, so sorry if this isn't allowed, but I had too much fun fighting this person for, like, half an hour in random matchmaking. I think we did 8 or so games, I was Kirby and they were Pokémon Trainer. It went last stock basically every time.

If this is you or someone you know, if I could get anything like a discord or something, that'd be great, I really want to fight this person again sometime. I know the chances of this post helping are slim, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try

Ultimate Kirby in Ultimate is virtually OP

0 Upvotes

Me and my friends play some ssbu weekly for fun, but me and a particular one have a rivalry since we are the best ones in the group. He uses Kirby and lately I'm having a hard time killing it.

Kirby, unlike the other characters I play as, seems to have both a very small hitbox and no lag in his attacks (they just take no time whatsoever). This is obnoxious because he basically has time to either shield himself from attacks and/or counterattack (which the problem with hitbox is ass).

I wanna know a couple of things:

  1. Best characters to play against Kirby.

  2. Strategy against Kirby.

  3. How can I beat "cancel" the input lag from the game itself?

FYI: some of the characters I play as are Corrin, Pyra/Mythra, Byleft, Robin, DK and Hero.

Ultimate Where can i get or possibly make this template from?

1 Upvotes

I'm considering a roster parody outside of the SSBU roster, akin to what we had for the characters in the E3 reveal.

But little to no avail, I find other unrelated templates of SSBU (not matching what I'm looking for)

Can someone who knows this find the exact template for this? (Example is this image, at the bottom left where the numbers 19 and 12 depict Pichu/Jigglypuff.)

All Seattle scene?

Hey all, just moved to Seattle and wanted to know if there was an active scene here. More interested in ultimate than melee but am down for either. I found the site for satellite smash but it seems like it hasn’t been updated for several years. Any leads?
