'''Character customization''', officially '''character creation''' ({{ja|キャラ作り|Kyara Tsukuri}}, ''character building''), referred to as '''Custom Move Sets''' ({{ja|カスタマイズ必殺ワザ|Kasutamaizu Hissatsuwaza}}, ''Customize Special Techniques'') in the Smash Direct, is a feature in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It allows players to alter several fundamental properties of playable characters and [[amiibo]], particularly their [[special move]]s. All non-[[DLC]] characters can replace each of their default special moves with one of two variations unlockable through gameplay, with the exception of {{SSB4|Palutena}} and the {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s, who instead have a selection of completely different specials, which are all available from the start. Certain characters, such as {{SSB4|Mega Man}}, have moves that appear to function significantly differently as well. In ''Smash 4'', the height and weight of Mii Fighters are customizable as well, affecting their speed and other attributes.
[[File:Character customization interface.png|thumb|The character customization interface]]
'''Character customization''', officially '''character creation''' (キャラ作り, ''character creation''), referred to as '''Custom Move Sets''' ({{ja|カスタマイズ必殺ワザ}}, ''Customize Special Techniques'') in the Smash Direct, is a feature in the upcoming ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It appears to allow players to alter several fundamental properties of characters' [[special move]]s. All characters have 1 standard and 2 variations of each special move to choose from, with the exception of {{SSB4|Palutena}} and the {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s, who instead have a selection of completely different specials.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', only {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s can be [[Alternate_costume_(SSBU)/Mii_Fighter|customized]], with custom equipment and custom moves for other characters removed. Mii Fighters can still be customized with special moves and outfits, and additionally can have their voices adjusted as well, but their height and weight are not customizable. Effects similar to those of custom equipment are present in ''Ultimate'''s [[Spirits (menu)|Spirits]] mode.
Before the [[Super Smash Bros. Direct]] where the feature was officially announced, in June 2013, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] had stated that players will be able to customize characters in the 3DS game and transfer those customizations to the Wii U game. He had also stated that the customizations will not be alternate costumes (though this was later proven not to be the case for Mii Fighters), and that they would not have to be unlocked through repeated tasks.<ref>[http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/13/wii-u-and-3ds-smash-bros-will-not-have-cross-platform-play-wil/ Joystiq: "No cross-platform play for Smash Bros on 3DS and Wii U"]</ref>

Character customization will be available when playing locally or when playing online [[with friends]], but not when playing online [[with anyone]].


It is possible to save up to 10 custom versions of each character and 99 Mii Fighters per game file. If custom fighters are allowed via the option button on the [[character selection screen]], then upon selecting a character, all customized versions of that character will show up, and the player can choose which version to play as or against. The same goes for Mii Fighters, with which every Mii Fighter ever created by the player will appear in a list for the player to choose from. Character customization can be enabled when playing locally or when playing online [[with friends]] or in certain [[Tourney (SSB4-Wii U)|tournaments]], but not when playing online [[with anyone]]. Also, some game modes do not allow customizations to be used at all, which includes all the [[Stadium]] game modes ([[Target Blast]] allowed them prior to version [[1.0.8]], and still do via [[Master Orders]]), [[All-Star Mode]], [[Trophy Rush]] (''Smash 3DS'' only), [[Stage Builder]], and certain event matches in [[Event match|Events]].
==General==
The options for customizing movesets appear in the form of "Custom parts", which come in multiple types<ref> [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlkTJ1LNQ Miiverse Directors Room Post August 28th]</ref>:
 
*'''Equipment:''' Collected through the games' numerous game modes, these items can be equipped to characters as to boost three potential stats: speed, attack, and defense. Some of these items may be identical in appearance in menus, but offer different stat boosts. They do not affect the appearance of fighters in-game. Equipment appears to correlate with items that each fighter is known for; for example, Mario uses gloves, shoes, and overalls. Currently, only a few pieces of equipment are known:
**'''Max-Power Gloves:''' Boost attack power, and according to the name, are assumed to be the most powerful power-increasing item.
**'''High-Power Gloves:''' Boost attack power by a lot, but still lose to the above item.
**'''Air Pinata Gloves'''
**'''High-Speed Dash Shoes:''' Boost walking/running speed.
**'''Ultra-Lightweight Shoes:''' Same as above, but difference in stat boost is currently unknown.
**'''Easy Split-Second Shield Overalls:''' Increases defense, making characters who equip it harder to launch and lowers the damage they take.
**'''Rare Agility Badge'''
**'''Hard Breaker Agility Badge'''
**'''Quick Batter Protection Badge'''
**Unknown equipment with negative (red) effect of removing respawn invincibility.
**Unknown equipment with effect of increasing attack in a crisis.
*'''Specials:''' Lets players change the special attacks of various characters. Details are shown in a later section.
*'''Headgear:''' Head accessories for Miis that behave similar to outfits. The available headgear shown so far are:
**A top hat.
**A hibiscus barrette.
**A sun hat.
**A helmet from ''Mii Force''.
**[[Samus]]'s helmet
**[[Meta Knight]]'s mask
**[[Mario]]'s Hat
**A [[Slippy Toad]] based Hat
**[[Peach]]'s hair, earrings, and crown
**An American football helmet.
*'''Outfits:''' Can be used to customize the outfits and accessories of Mii Fighters. It is currently unknown how they will be unlocked, or whether the user can change the colors of these outfits. However, it has been shown that certain outfits will alter the appearance of a Mii's weapons, depending on its type (such as a leather bodysuit changing a Swordfighter's sword into a beam sword, or a tuxedo giving a Gunner's arm-cannon a smaller, sleeker appearance). The available outfits shown so far are:
**'''Standard Outfit:''' The default clothing worn by Miis.
**A suit and tie.
**An American football outfit.
**A leather bodysuit with glowing accents on it, (including one that resembles the Smash logo).
**An Old-English style outfit.
**A bulky armor suit that also has glowing accents on it.
**A tight shirt and black leather pants covered in bling.
**A cowboy costume. There is a female variant of this that includes a skirt.
**'''Fighter Uniform:''' An outfit resembling a martial arts uniform.
*'''Powers:''' Assorted powers implied to only take effect in [[Smash Run]]. A similar system was earlier used in {{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}. Most if not all powers have multiple levels; higher levels grant a greater number and\or more effective uses, but take up more of the total weight limit <ref>[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUYoEaGj7jw Miiverse Director's Room Post August 15th]</ref>:
** '''Back Shield'''
** '''Power Bomb'''
** '''Launch Ring'''
** '''Strong Kick'''
** '''Auto-Recovery'''
 
==Confirmed variations of special moves==
===[[Mario (SSB4)|Mario]]===
*Mario's Fire Orb is one of the variations of [[Fireball]] which is large with a swirly appearance. It moves significantly slower and hits multiple times. 
*Mario's Fast Fireball is the second variation of [[Fireball]] which travels fast and straight. When demonstrated it was also shown to flinch but cause no knockback.
*Mario's [[Super Jump Punch]] can be turned into Explosive Punch, which produces fire and explosive damage.
*Mario's Super Jump is the second variation of [[Super Jump Punch]]. Nothing was confirmed about how it works yet. The only known difference is that it leaves a trail behind Mario.
*Mario has a move called Gust Cape that can replace [[Cape]]. No information, however, has been given about this.
*Mario has a move called Shocking Cape that can replace [[Cape]]. Nothing is known yet about this move yet.
*Mario's [[F.L.U.D.D.]] has two variations known as Scalding F.L.U.D.D. and High-Pressure F.L.U.D.D. that were briefly shown in the 2014 E3 Press Conference for ''Super Smash Bros for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS''. Scalding F.L.U.D.D. seems to deal fire rapid fire damage and keep them in place.
 
===[[Luigi (SSB4)|Luigi]]===
===[[Peach (SSB4)|Peach]]===
===[[Bowser (SSB4)|Bowser]]===
*Bowser's [[Fire Breath]] can be turned into a large fireball with start up lag. It also seems to go through enemies.
===[[Rosalina (SSB4)|Rosalina]]===
*Gravitational Pull can be replaced with {{rollover|Catch & Release or Guardian Luma|Japanese names; English names not known}}. Catch and Release is performed in a similar manner to Gravitational Pull, except fighters are drawn in instead of items, while Guardian Luma has the active Luma act as a shield.
 
===[[Donkey Kong (SSB4)|Donkey Kong]]===
*Donkey Kong's [[Giant Punch]] has a variation called [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAAYUKlZHyi3Og Storm Punch], which creates a large gust of wind.
*Donkey Kong's [[Hand Slap]] has a variation that has him deal electrical damage. Has only been shown in mid-air and the name is unknown.
*Donkey Kong's [[Spinning Kong]] has two variations, Giant Slam and Giant Blow. Nothing has been confirmed about how either of them work yet.
*Donkey Kong's [[Headbutt]] can be given [[knockback resistance]] and significantly slowed down.


Custom characters and Mii Fighters can also be copied between the 3DS and Wii U versions, and the latter can also be submitted or downloaded online. However, copied customizations cannot be modified at all, requiring the player to have to go back to the customization's game origin to make any changes. Aside from Miis, customizations cannot be shared between identical versions.
===[[Diddy Kong (SSB4)|Diddy Kong]]===
===[[Yoshi (SSB4)|Yoshi]]===
*Yoshi has a variant named "Heavy Egg Roll", though no other information is currently known.


As with custom [[controls]], character customizations can be tested on the fly with the [[controls test stage|customization test stage]], allowing the player to try out their special moves on a [[Sandbag]].
===[[Link (SSB4)|Link]]===
*Link's [[Gale Boomerang]] can be changed to an Electric Boomerang.  No other information is known.


==General==
===[[Zelda (SSB4)|Zelda]]===
The options for customizing movesets appear in the form of "Custom parts", which come in multiple types:
===[[Sheik (SSB4)|Sheik]]===
===[[Toon Link (SSB4)|Toon Link]]===
===[[Samus (SSB4)|Samus]]===
*Samus is confirmed to have a melee variant of her [[Charge Shot]], though nothing was confirmed about how it works yet.
===[[Zero Suit Samus (SSB4)|Zero Suit Samus]]===
===[[Kirby (SSB4)|Kirby]]===
*Kirby's [[Inhale]] can be turned into an ice breath attack, presumably disabling Kirby's ability to copy opponents. The other variation is 'Jump Inhale', where Kirby hops forward before he inhales the opponent.
*Kirby's [[Hammer Flip]] can be replaced by 'Launching Hammer', of which its mechanics are unknown, but assumed to be the original variant from Melee/Brawl. It may also be replaced with 'Giant Hammer', appearing like how Kirby wields the hammer in his home series - an overhead swing.<!--Which one is Hammer Bash?-->
*Kirby's [[Final Cutter]] may be replaced by 'Ground Wave', or 'Rising Cutter'. Mechanics are unknown, but Ground Wave does not appear to give Kirby a recovery.
*Kirby's [[Stone]] can be replaced by 'Burying Stone', which buries grounded foes it hits, and 'Meteor Stone', whose mechanics are unknown. It is unknown what the previously reported 'Hammer Bash' is, or whether it is even a custom down special.


*'''[[Equipment]]:''' Collected through the games' numerous game modes, these items can be equipped to characters to boost three potential stats: speed, attack, and defense. Some of these items may be identical in appearance in menus, but offer different stat boosts. They do not affect the appearance of fighters in-game.
=== [[Meta Knight (SSB4)|Meta Knight]] ===
*'''Specials:''' Players can change the special attacks of fighters (except downloadable characters, who have no alternate specials); up to three options are available for each directional input.
*[[Drill Rush]] has two variants: "Speed Drill" and "Breaker Drill". Speed Drill has a longer range but can only travel the direction Meta Knight is facing; while Breaker Drill has moderate range and power, yet it can [[Shield break|break shields]].
*'''[[Alternate costume (SSB4)/Mii Fighter#Headgear|Headgear]]:''' Head accessories for Miis that behave similarly to outfits.
*'''[[Alternate costume (SSB4)/Mii Fighter|Outfits]]:''' Can be used to customize the outfits and accessories of Mii Fighters. Costume parts can be earned from Classic Mode and, in the 3DS game, Smash Run. Some costumes also alter the appearance of the weapon held by Swordfighters and Gunners (such as a leather bodysuit changing a Swordfighter's sword into a beam sword, or a tuxedo giving a Gunner's arm-cannon a smaller, sleeker appearance). Most costumes are exclusive to a particular class of Mii Fighter.
*'''[[Power]]s:''' Assorted powers that only take effect in [[Smash Run]]. A similar system was earlier used in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}''. All powers have multiple levels; higher levels grant a greater number and/or more effective uses, but take up more of the total weight limit. The total weight limit is determined by a character's weight and speed, including equipment affecting their speed; the faster and lighter they are, the lower the weight limit. However, all downloadable characters can carry a total weight of 25. That gives {{SSB4|Roy}} an advantage over {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Lucina}}, who can carry only 23 for example.


==In competitive play==
===[[King Dedede (SSB4)|King Dedede]]===
:''Main article: [[Official Custom Moveset Project]]''
===[[Fox (SSB4)|Fox]]===
*Fox has a variation named Charge Blaster. Nothing was confirmed about how it works yet.
===[[Pikachu (SSB4)|Pikachu]]===
*{{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} can be substituted for Self-Generation or Great Thunder. Self-Generation unleashes an electric attack from Pikachu to knock back foes, while Great Thunder has an extended reach, as well as a sweetspot where it begins and a sourspot where it ends.


Custom movesets are banned in ''Smash 4'', though a number of tournaments allow their use in side-events. Custom movesets were temporarily legal from March 2015 to July 2015, as part of the [[Official Custom Moveset Project]] on [[SmashBoards]], but concerns regarding gameplay balance and logistics issues caused custom movesets to be banned after the conclusion of [[EVO 2015]].
===[[Charizard (SSB4)|Charizard]]===
===[[Lucario (SSB4)|Lucario]]===
===[[Greninja (SSB4)|Greninja]]===
*Greninja has a variation named Stagnant Shuriken. How it works is not known at this time.
===[[Captain Falcon (SSB4)|Captain Falcon]]===
===[[Marth (SSB4)|Marth]]===
*Marth's [[Shield Breaker]] can be altered to propel him forwards a significant distance on use.
===[[Ike (SSB4)|Ike]]===
===[[Lucina (SSB4)|Lucina]]===
===[[Robin (SSB4)|Robin]]===
===[[Pit (SSB4)|Pit]]===
*[[Palutena's Arrow]] has two variations: one where the arrows move slower and with more control, though less damage will be inflicted, while another disables the ability to control shots, but allows shots to pierce through opponents.
===[[Olimar (SSB4)|Olimar]]===
===[[Little Mac (SSB4)|Little Mac]]===
*[[Straight Lunge]] can be changed to a flaming or shock variant. The flaming variant has less charge time but less damage, while the shocking variant paralyzes opponents, but Little Mac loses knockback resistance.
===[[Villager (SSB4)|Villager]]===
===[[Wii Fit Trainer (SSB4)|Wii Fit Trainer]]===
*[[Sun Salutation]] has two variations: one where shots are slower but can push opponents, while another is a concentrated version.
=== [[Shulk (SSB4)|Shulk]] ===
===[[Sonic (SSB4)|Sonic]]===
===[[Mega Man (SSB4)|Mega Man]]===
*[[Rush Coil]] may be replaced with Beat. How Beat operates is not known at this time.
*[[Leaf Shield]] can be replaced with Plant Barrier from ''Mega Man 6''. How it differs from Leaf Shield aside from appearance is not known at this time.


With the removal of custom moves for every fighter besides the [[Mii Fighter|Mii Fighters]], custom moves in ''Ultimate'' tournaments only apply to those characters. For their legality, many tournaments allow both Mii Fighters and custom moves unlike ''Smash 4''. If the Mii Fighter created for tournament is customized with different moves, their name will typically be placed with numbers for which custom move is used for each of the four specials (Examples: 1111 or 1332).
===[[Pac-Man (SSB4)|Pac-Man]]===
*Pac-Man's down special, which summons a fire hydrant that sprays water on both sides, has two variations: one where the hydrant shoots fire instead, dealing damage to anyone including the user, and another where the hydrant explodes when dropped or after some time.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*While [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|Bowser]], [[Giga Mac|Little Mac]], and [[Wario-Man|Wario]] use mirrored versions of their regular special moves as opposed to custom versions after transforming via their [[Final Smash]], [[Mega Lucario|Lucario]] is still able to use its custom special moves, further enhanced by the boosted Aura.
*Taking the first letter of each category of custom part available to Miis (Equipment, Specials, Headgear, Outfit, Powers) yields the word "eShop".
*When [[Inhale (Kirby)|copying]] a character, Kirby will always copy that character's default neutral special, even if that character has it set to a custom move.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrqVGNpBB3M GameXplain: "Can Kirby Copy Custom Moves?"]</ref>
**However, when copying {{SSB4|Olimar}} with customs enabled, Kirby's side special variant will actually affect the variant of [[Pikmin Throw]] used.
*When all special moves are collected, the game shows a [[notice|message]] that says "Collected every custom special move! Show me your moves!", which references [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[taunt]].
*In the 3DS version, taking the first letter of each category of custom parts available to Miis (Equipment, Specials, Headgear, Outfit, Powers) yields the word "eShop".
*When all outfits and headgear items are collected in the PAL version of ''SSB4'', the game shows a [[notice|message]] that says "Collected every outfit! Your body is ready!", which references [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gc5cuekQto Reggie Fils-Aimé's famous line] from the E3 2007 Nintendo press conference.
* Though {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, being downloadable, doesn't actually have any custom moves, one could gain access to them in version 1.0.6 through a glitch involving carried-over Mii Fighters. Doing so would cause incredibly glitchy effects.
*If a player were to copy a character with a custom move they only have on one version (e.g., copying a {{SSB4|Peach}} from {{forwiiu}} that had [[Sleepy Toad]], but the player didn't have that move unlocked on {{for3ds}}), the move will show up as the default version.
*In the character customization menu, [[Mr. Game & Watch]] cannot be rotated with the [[C-Stick]].
