Character Select Screen

The Character Select Screen in Smash 6 has several improvements:

  • Player character selections are no longer reset upon returning to the Character Select Screen.
  • Additional character colors are added as needed, such that every character in the game now has the following colors available:
    • Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Cyan, Pink, Violet, Black, White, Grey, Brown.
    • These colors are now available to use as a Team Color for Team Battle games, including Squad Strike.
  • When changing Team Color, the character color will automatically switch to the new Team Color.
  • Character colors will now always be in the same order for every character.
    • Slot 1 will be the character's default appearance.
    • Slots 2-13 will be in the color order listed above.
    • Slot 14+ will be for any extra colors the character may have.
  • The first entry in the name tag entry list will always be "Configure". When selected, the player can configure their controls directly on the character select screen, followed by a button test. No name tag entry is created when setting controls this way.
  • The Character Select Screen now supports a 13 x 8 grid. The Back and Edit Rules buttons have been removed, and the Team Battle toggle is now a grid item next to Random.

Notes​

Additional character colors inject a lot of life into the game.

Being able to map and test controls on the character select screen is a great quality of life change when a console is shared by many players who may not have profiles setup.
