A '''twelve character battle''', often abbreviated as '''12cb''', is an alternative gameplay method in tournaments for the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' | A '''twelve character battle''', often abbreviated as '''12cb''', is an alternative gameplay method in tournaments for the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' In these battles, players fight with all twelve characters in the game until one player runs out of characters to use. Matches of this sort can take a long time to complete; the shortest matches can last around 50 minutes, while the longest have lasted over 90 minutes. | ||
Initially a niche idea, the twelve character battle has since become more and more accepted by professional ''Smash 64'' players, with proponents of the battle claiming it does a better job of analysing one's skillset at the game compared to standard tournament play. The use of many characters reinforces the idea that the player is aware of multiple strategies involving [[tech skill]], and the use of counterpicking also causes players to demonstrate knowledge of [[matchups]]. | Initially a niche idea, the twelve character battle has since become more and more accepted by professional ''Smash 64'' players, with proponents of the battle claiming it does a better job of analysing one's skillset at the game compared to standard tournament play.
