Despite this, the game has minimal tournament representation, as ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' shares its gameplay and mechanics but is largely seen as the more accessible version for [[tournament play]] due to its multiple control schemes and more clearly visible graphics. In addition, the handheld nature of the 3DS version greatly increases the possibility of [[lag]] in local wireless play, since no two players can play on the same system, unlike the Wii U version. Nonetheless, the 3DS version remains popular for online play, for which it suffers from fewer drawbacks compared to the Wii U version than for local multiplayer. | Despite this, the game has minimal tournament representation, as ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' shares its gameplay and mechanics but is largely seen as the more accessible version for [[tournament play]] due to its multiple control schemes and more clearly visible graphics.
