-'''Cruel Melee''', '''Cruel Brawl''' and '''Cruel Smash''' are [[Multi-Man Melee and Brawl|Multi-Man]] modes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', respectively. Like the other modes, this game challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible. However, in this mode, the Fighting Wire Frames, Alloy Team, and Mii Team deal extremely high [[knockback]] with their attacks while the player has a handicap against them, essentially making this mode a complete reversal of what is normally encountered in other Multi-Man modes where it is much easier to knock out an opponent.
+'''Cruel Melee''', '''Cruel Brawl''' and '''Cruel Smash''' are [[Multi-Man Melee and Brawl|Multi-Man]] modes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', respectively. Like [[Endless mode]], this mode challenges the player to defeat as many opponents as possible ([[Fighting Wire Frames]] in ''Melee'', [[Fighting Alloy Team]] in ''Brawl'', and [[Fighting Mii Team]] in ''Smash 4''), with no [[KO]] limit or time limit before the mode ends; high scores in this mode are recorded by the number of opponents defeated.
-High scores in this mode are recorded by the amount of opponents knocked out. Attaining very high scores is considered one of the toughest accomplishments in the game; due to the relentless difficulty, players often have to resort to exploiting the AI. For example, in Cruel Melee, scores in the thousands can be obtained by exploiting an AI standstill bug, performed by standing absolutely still on the rightmost edge of the small right platform. This causes any CPUs, including the Wire Frames, to cease all movement and stand indefinitely unless the player is within attack range. Exploits with the AI in Cruel Brawl, such as by [[planking]], or any other form of stalling under the stage, often cause the Alloys to self destruct when attempting to edge-guard the player. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', most possible exploits have been fixed as enemies no longer follow the player if he/she jumps far off the ledge, and will instead wait until the player gets back on stage. Without AI exploitation, getting scores even higher than single-digit numbers is considered extremely difficult.
+However, Cruel mode features a complete reversal of what is normally encountered in other Multi-Man modes. While other modes all give a high [[knockback]] multiplier to the player's attacks, making the opponents very easy to knock out in one hit, Cruel mode instead applies this knockback multiplier to all of the opponents. In addition, no [[item]]s will spawn at all in the mode.
+With five opponents on-screen at once, all attacking the player and with any one of their attacks being an easy [[OHKO]], attaining high scores in this mode is considered one of the toughest accomplishments in the game. Due to the relentless difficulty, players often have to resort to exploiting the AI; for example, in Cruel Melee, scores in the thousands can be obtained by exploiting an AI standstill bug, performed by standing absolutely still on the rightmost edge of the small right platform. This causes any CPUs, including the Wire Frames, to cease all movement and stand indefinitely unless the player is within attack range. In both Cruel Melee and Cruel Brawl, [[planking]] can be an effective strategy; stalling under the stage will often cause the Wire Frames or Alloys to [[self-destruct]] when attempting to [[edge-guard]] the player (as they still do not have any [[recovery]] special moves). In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', most possible exploits have been fixed as enemies will no longer follow the player if he/she jumps far off the ledge, and will instead wait until the player gets back on stage. Without AI exploitation, getting scores even higher than single-digit numbers is considered extremely difficult.
