\n Incineroar (Pokemon?) Based on wrestling (lots of throws)
\n74 fighters (Start with Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox and Pikachu)

\n\n

Characters other than fighters?

\n Spirits! This is the adventure mode - feels like Gatcha???!?!
\n Power up your character in battle, kind of like Blades and drivers in Xenoblade
\n Spirits come in classes Novice > Advanced > Aces > Legends
\n You assign one spirit at a time (your spirits can get support spirits)

\n\n
    Spirit battles to get spirits (PvE)\n\n        Support Spirits help you avoid environmental damage \n\n    There is a weapon triangle\n\nAs if a game with a roster this big wasn't going to be hard enough to balance.\n    Perhaps they did it to make it so people could balance weaknessess themselves?\n
\n\n

Matchmaking is based on what rules you like, Smash Power (ranking) , Proximity

\n\n

Online battles

\n\n
Elite Smash - Smash tags (collect for winning)\n\nSpectator mode!  Will be running tournaments on twitch for this\n\nSmash World (gameplay videos / Social media?)\n
\n\n

You can turn off the music if you want!!!
