The character customization interface on an amiibo

Character customization, officially character creation (キャラ作り, character creation), referred to as Custom Move Sets (カスタマイズ必殺ワザ, Customize Special Techniques) in the Smash Direct, is a feature in Super Smash Bros. 4. It appears to allow players to alter several fundamental properties of characters' special moves. All characters have 1 standard and 2 variations of each special move to choose from, with the exception of Palutena and the Mii Fighters, who instead have a selection of completely different specials. Certain characters, such as Mega Man, have moves that appear to function significantly differently as well.

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 (Mii Fighters are, apparently, an exception), and that they would not have to be unlocked through repeated tasks.

It is possible to save multiple custom versions of each character, though the exact maximum has yet to be determined. From the Character Select Screen, 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 will be available when playing locally or when playing online with friends, but not when playing online with anyone.

General

The options for customizing movesets appear in the form of "Custom parts", which come in multiple types:

• 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.
• 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:
  • Mii Force Helmet

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 one class of Mii Fighter. The available outfits shown so far are:

Trivia

• Taking the first letter of each category of custom parts available to Miis (Equipment, Specials, Headgear, Outfit, Powers) yields the word "eShop".
• When copying a character, Kirby will always copy that character's default neutral special, even if that character has it set to a custom move.
• A custom Down Special for Kirby called Hammer Bash was reported to be in the game; however, all of Kirby's customizable specials have been confirmed since. It is unknown if its name was changed, if it was removed entirely, or if something else happened to it.
