Editing Conditions

'''Conditions''' ({{ja|ヒント|Hinto}}, ''Hint'') are a mechanic in the {{b|Spirits|menu}} mode and [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Each [[Spirit]] Battle contains one or more special conditions themed around the opposing spirit that the player is facing. There are many different conditions, such as the opponent only using [[taunt]]s, or favoring certain attacks. In addition to conditions, battles may also have "rules" ({{ja|ルール|Rūru}}, ''Rules''), which behave similarly and are shown on the left of the screen. Up to three rules and conditions can be displayed on screen, but battles may have more that aren't shown. Certain [[spirit]]s have abilities specifically designed to counter or negate certain conditions, and these are usually selected if a player creates a random spirit team.

Some fighters have prefixes (or postfix in the case of "Team") attached to their name to indicate they are under the effect of a particular transformation during battle. Occasionally they also appear in the list of conditions, but not always. In some cases, these effects apply only to the main fighter, while minions may or may not be under the same effect. While Giant and Tiny enemies are comparable to the effects of their respective Mushrooms, their sizes do not always translate to the item's effect, meaning that they may be larger or smaller than a normal-sized fighter under those effects.

* '''Your jumping power decreases''': Either gravity will be significantly increased for the player, or their jump velocity is reduced. The Gravity Change Immunity spirit ability negates this effect when accomplished by increasing gravity.

* '''Gravity is reduced''': The enemies, the players, or both have their gravity reduced, which affects mostly jump height and [[Falling speed|fall speed]]. The Gravity Change Immunity spirit ability negates this effect.

* '''[You are/The enemy is/All fighters are] [hard/easy] to launch''': The specified fighter(s) will take more or less knockback.*

* '''The enemy starts the battle with a(n) [item]''': The enemy begins the battle with the item in question. They cannot be forced to drop the item.

* '''Items will be pulled toward the enemy''': Items near an enemy will move towards it.

* '''[You/The enemy/All fighters] take(s) serious damage''': The specified fighter(s) will take heavy damage at specific intervals.

* '''The enemy will charge up a powerful Final Smash''': The opponent receives the Final Smash ↑ spirit effect. Their FS Meter also charges faster than usual.

* '''You'll get a Final Smash''': The player occasionally gets a Final Smash. (Note: this condition is only seen in the Smash Ball spirit battle.)

* '''No one knows how to swim''': All fighters will almost instantly drown upon swimming in water. The "Swimmer" skill will suppress this effect. (Note: this ability is only seen on the Linebeck spirit battle.)

<nowiki/>* The game does not appear to increase dealt knockback directly, but rather it modifies the launch speed decay. Consequently [[set knockback]] is still affected and [[hitstun]] appears to be abnormally low/high.

* '''Stamina Battle''': The match is a Stamina Battle; the exact amount of stamina the opposing fighter has varies from one spirit to another; if no stamina-boosting spirits are used, the player always starts with 120 HP.

* '''Timed Stamina Battle''': The exact amount of time and the opponent's HP vary based on the spirit in question; like with Stamina-only Battles, the player will start with 120 HP if no stamina-raising spirits are selected.

* '''Start the battle with 300%''': All fighters start with 300% damage like in [[Sudden Death]], making them incredibly easy to launch.

* '''Defeat the main fighter to win''': Only one specific opponent (the one that shows up on the Spirit Battle screen) needs to be defeated to win the battle. Defeating the minions is optional.

* '''Join forces with a CPU ally''': A CPU ally will assist the player in defeating the enemy. Its character is predetermined per Spirit Battle and cannot be chosen.

* '''You lose if your CPU ally is KO'd''': Similar to above, but the player must prevent their CPU ally (who will sometimes avoid fighting) from being KO'd. Notably, this is the only condition under which a player can lose without being KO'd themselves or running out of time.

* '''Take your strongest team into this no-frills battle''': A standard battle with no additional conditions. This always occurs in boss battles except [[Giga Bowser]] in World of Light. Rules tabs may appear, but they do not affect gameplay, instead specifying things like which kind of items will appear.

* '''Item: [item]''': Only the item or item category in question will appear during the battle. [[Conditions#Item_categories|See below]].

* '''Uncontrollable Speed''': Affected fighters have greatly increased speed overall but worse traction. The affected fighters have 2× ground and air speed, 0.75× ground traction, and 0.5× air friction.

===Floors===

* '''Hazard: Lava Floor''': The floor will feature a fiery lava surface, and when touched, the player will get launched with fire damage. A spirit with the Lava-Floor Resist or Lava-Floor Immunity skills will reduce or nullify this effect.

* '''Hazard: Zap Floor''': The floor will feature metal surface, and when touched, the player gets launched with electric hitstun. A spirit with the Zap-Floor Immunity skill will nullify this effect.

* '''Hazard: Poison Floor''': The floor will feature a purple bubbling goop surface, and when touched, the player will gradually take poison damage. A spirit with the Poison Damage Reduced, Poison Immunity, Poison Heals, or Poison Power Up skills will reduce, nullify, or beneficially invert this effect.

* '''Hazard: Ice Floor''': The floor will feature an icy and misty surface, and when touched, the player will freeze. A spirit with the Ice-Floor Immunity skill will nullify this effect.  

* '''Hazard: Sticky Floor''': The floor will feature a brown goop surface, and when touched, the player will be slowed down and have reduced jump height. A spirit with the Sticky-Floor Immunity skill will nullify this effect.

* '''Hazard: Slumber Floor''': The floor will feature a colorful surface with waves emitting off of it, and when touched, the player is forced into sleep. A spirit with the Slumber Immunity skill will nullify this effect.

==Trivia ==

*The conditions that affect the floors do not always affect the stage entirely and is inconsistent between battles. For example, even though both battles use a [[Battlefield form]] stage with a Lava Floor hazard, {{h2|List of spirits (Sonic the Hedgehog series)|Blaze the Cat}}'s spirit battle features the hazard affecting the main platform, while {{h2|List of spirits (Fire Emblem series)|Edelgard}}'s condition affects only the three soft platforms.

*The condition "Only certain Pokémon will emerge from Poké Balls" is technically inaccurate, as only the Poké Ball the opponent starts with is predetermined, and subsequent Poké Balls are random.

*{{SSBU|Lucario}} is the only fighter who is mentioned by name in a condition, being '''"Lucario's [[Aura]] has increased power"'''. Though as with the corresponding [[Spirit#Attack skills|Spirit effect]], this would presumably also affect {{SSBU|Richter}}'s [[Holy Water]].

*While a few opponents do start their battles with a {{b|Boomerang|item}}, the condition "The enemy starts the battle with a Boomerang" is never specifically listed, even when there are less than three conditions on-screen.
