The editor who added this tag believes this page should be cleaned up for the following reason: Now that the English version is out, a lot of the Japanese can be cleaned up. Plus there's still a whole lot we haven't filled in yet.
You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Equipment is a customization option in Super Smash Bros. 4. Three pieces of equipment can be attached to a character, which 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.

Up to 3,000 pieces of equipment can be stored. Older pieces of equipment will be deleted to make room for any new equipment obtained.

Equipment Effects

Type Effect
Brawn Increases knockback and damage dealt. Also increases hitlag. Interestingly, the power of pummels, throws, and item throws are increased, and the likelihood of dropping an item when flinching is decreased.
Defense Increases weight and decreases shield degeneration. Does not increase the window for perfect shield, nor provide launch resistance.
Agility Increases walking, dashing, air speed, jump height, and fast-falling speed. Reduces landing lag, but does not increase gravity, nor falling speed. Positive speed values will lower the fighter's weight limit for holding Smash Run powers, while negative speed values increase the weight limit.

Equipment types

Equipment comes in various types, which each have three rarities. Higher rarities result in stronger stat modifications. If a piece of equipment has an extra effect, it does not show its rarity. The frequency rate of each type of equipment appears to be based on how many characters can utilize it - for example, Swords are much more common than Pikmin.

Equipment usage

Each character has special item types they can equip. The equipment type "badges" can be equipped by any character. Items is simply the default weight limit value that the character has; this is used for Smash Run.

Known equipment effects

The following table collects all known effects found on equipment. Negative effects (shown in red) may in fact be desirable if the player thinks they can handle them, as any equipment with a negative effect is balanced by a much smaller stat penalty relative to its primary stat boost. Likewise, equipment with positive effects usually have larger stat penalties (as well as smaller stat bonuses) as a trade-off.

Trivia

  • The names of the Pokémon-exclusive equipment reference battle items in the Pokémon games that would boost a Pokémon's stat.
  • Charizard is the only character to be able to use two types of specialized (i.e. non-badge) equipment within the same category, having both access to X Attack and Fake Nails in the attack category. This also makes it the only Pokémon character that can use something other than badges and the Pokémon equipment.
  • Dr. Mario and Ganondorf are the only clones (counting semi-clones) not to share all 3 types of equipment with their respective parent clones.
    • Conversely, Wario, Ike and the Pokémon characters are the only non-clones to share all equipment types with at least one other character.
  • The "Unharmed" ability is glitched. If one takes a "Trade-Off" item along with an "Unharmed" item, the "Unharmed" effect does not disappear upon taking damage.
