Super Smash Bros 6: The Future of Smash

This is a fan-made proposal for Smash 6 (SSB6), the sequel to Super Smash Bros Ultimate and the next entry in the Super Smash Bros franchise for the Nintendo Switch 2. Throughout these docs, the game will be referenced as Smash 6 / SSB6. This documentation website details the proposed changes in the transition from SSBU to SSB6.
