Classic Mode (SSBU)
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
Classic Mode appears again in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Each character now has their own predetermined set of opponents and stages to face in this mode. A unique name is given to each character's path, and there may be special rules or conditions: for example, Ryu's path references Street Fighter II by using only Ω forms and Stamina mode. It is different from the Classic Mode versions found in the two versions of SSB4, shown by the return to the style of Classic Mode that was in Melee and Brawl.
Right now, several unique names have been shown for the fighters during this mode.
