Good response.A tournament match is, well, a match in a tournament. Virtually all Smash tournaments are some variation of a double-elimination bracket, where people play assigned games according to the bracket until there is only one person left.
A money match refers to some random game in which the players have agreed to bet money on.
Money matches tend to have less money on the line, and less prestige, than an entire tournament.
Beating one person and winning $10 in a bet is not comparable to winning $1000 in a 128-person tournament. Prestige is a function of money won, number of players beaten, and quality of players beaten. A random money match is likely to be less impressive in all three, though there are rare exceptions and it depends on the frame of comparison.
Not really. The basic unspoken rules of money matches in the fighting game community are:I know that but I wanted to know if there may be a difference in play styles
