Battle Arena

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

  • Battle Arenas now support mid-match spectating.
  • Password Protected Battle Arenas now allow multiple players from the same console to join. Battle Arena hosts can choose to Enable, Disable, or Require this feature. When enabled, the host can set the maximum number of players allowed per console.
  • 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, Tag Team 3v3, Cucco Keep-Away, Capture the Flag, and Custom Smash.
  • Password protected Battle Arenas can now support Amiibo. 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 Standard 1v1 rank or the Ratio Tag Team 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.
