Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U: Difference between revisions

Players can send customized fighters from one version to the other. Players can customize fighter's special attacks with one of three variations for each. The Mii Fighters and Palutena, however, have custom special attacks that aren't variants of the original attacks; these are unlocked from the beginning. Players can also equip items to fighters to increase specific attributes (attack, defense, or speed) while sacrificing others. Up to three items can be equipped at a time, and some items provide additional side effects to the fighter.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry2.html]</ref> Custom characters cannot be used in With Anyone online.

Both versions of the game feature online play similar to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' in that players from all over the world can face others in matches. When playing With Friends, players can customize the rules to their liking. Voice chat is also available in the Wii U version when playing With Friends, though like ''Mario Kart 8'' it can only be used between battles.<ref name="Smash Wii U Direct">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0BBGzfw0pQ Super Smash Bros. for Wii U 50-Fact Extravaganza - YouTube]</ref> When playing With Anyone, two basic options are available: For Fun and For Glory. In For Fun mode, players battle on randomly-selected normal stages, excluding Final Destination, with all items turned on. Losses are not recorded in this mode. In For Glory mode, players only play on the flat, Final Destination versions of stages, without items. Players can either play standard Smash or Team Smash matches in both modes, and For Glory offers a 1-on-1 mode as well.
