Battle Arena

In Smash 6, the following updates have been made to the Battle Arena mode:

  • Battle Arenas now support up to 17 participants at one time.
  • Battle Arenas now support up to 8 battles taking place simultaneously.
  • Battle Arenas now support mid-match spectating.
  • Battle Arenas now allow a local teammate (same console) to participate in matches of a password protected 2v2 Battle Arena. Battle Arena hosts can choose to Enable, Disable, or Require this feature.
  • In password-protected Battle Arenas, the Host can now change the Rules and Options without having to re-create the Battle Arena.
  • Battle Arenas now support King of the Hill, Cucco Keep-Away, Tag Team 3v3, and Custom Smash.
  • Password protected Battle Arena’s can now support Amiibos. Amiibo-only matches are supported, as well as Team Battle and Free-For-All matches.
  • There is now an option that, when enabled, requires the Host to grant entry for a participant when they try to enter a password protected arena. Otherwise, that participant will not be able to join.
  • Battle Arena hosts can choose to restrict entry to only players with a matching specified Quickplay Rank (choosing to match against either the Ratio Tag Team or Standard 1v1 rank).
  • If rank restricted entry is in effect the host can also choose whether to allow players "less than or equal" to that rank or "greater than or equal" to that rank.
  • Players in password-protected battle arenas can now perform a Connection Test if desired before playing and adjust the Intentional Input Delay Frames

Why It Matters​

This allows for more fine-tuned options for Lobby rules so friends / family / online events can set whatever rules they need.
