In competitive play[edit]
Deciding a winner via time exclusively is typically avoided in tournaments, as every game being required to go to time out is time consuming and promotes campy playstyles where a player secures a quick lead and then runs away for the rest of the game. That being said, the standard for all tournaments is a time limit on top of an amount of stocks, allowing games to end before a time out while also preventing games from lasting forever.

Time is the default rule setting in Versus Mode in which the winner is determined by whoever gains the most points when the match timer reaches a time out. A point is gained by KO'ing an opponent, while falling or self-destructing causes a player to lose a point. A team attack KO causes both the attacker and the KO'd player to lose a point. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the number of points lost for SD'ing can be changed to 0, 1, or 2. This returns in Super Smash Bros. 4, but 0 is no longer an option. The number of points each player has is usually invisible during play, although it can be made visible through the unlockable Score Display setting from Melee onward or during replays in Brawl, or revealed through the big screen on Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2. In Ultimate, the player with the most points will occasionally glow regardless of whether the score display is enabled.
If there is a tie for the most points when time expires, Sudden Death occurs between all tied players. The player who scores the final hit wins Sudden Death and therefore the match.
The length of a match can be set to any whole number of minutes from 1 to 99, as well as infinite time for a match that cannot end without quitting via resetting or manually shutting off the game console. In addition, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate includes two additional lengths: 1:30 and 2:30.
