Equipment is a customization option in Super Smash Bros. 4. Three pieces of equipment can be attached to a character, will will modify their attack, defense, and speed.
There are three classes of equipment. Orange equipment is based on weaponry and improves attack but lowers defense. Blue equipment is based on clothing and improves defense but lowers speed. Green equipment is based on footwear and improves speed but lowers attack. All three types can also bestow secondary effects, which may either be positive or negative.
Equipment types
The type of a piece of equipment affects which characters can equip it. Note that some names may be currently unofficial. Badges can be equipped by all characters.
