Character Select Screen

The Character Select Screen in Smash 6 has several improvements:

Preserved Selections​

Player character selections are no longer reset upon returning to the Character Select Screen after a match.

Character Colors​

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 Tag Team and 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.

Quick Controls Adjustments​

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.

Why It Matters​

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.
