Character customization

It has been suggested that this article or section be split into multiple pages or sections. The reason given for the split is: Page is very big. The whole 'custom special move' concept looks pretty big, so it might need its own page. (Discuss)

The character customization interface on an amiibo

Character customization, officially character creation (キャラ作り, character building), 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, which are all unlocked from the start. 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 up to 10 custom versions of each character, excluding the Mii Fighters. 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 can be enabled when playing locally or when playing online with friends, but not when playing online with anyone.

Customizations can also be copied between the 3DS and Wii U versions. However, copied customizations can't be modified at all, requiring the player to have to go back to the customization's game origin to make any changes.

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:

• Outfits: Can be used to customize the outfits and accessories of Mii Fighters. Costume parts can be earned from Classic Mode and, in the 3DS game, Smash Run. 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:

Swordfighter	Brawler	Gunner
Cybernetic Suit	Biker Gear	Dragon Armor
Neon Suit	Fighter Uniform	Fancy Suit
Ninja Suit	Mecha Suit	High-Tech Armor
Pirate Outfit	Protective Gear	Mage Robe
Plate Armor	Standard Outfit	Standard Outfit
Samurai Armor	Tracksuit	Steampunk Getup
Standard Outfit	Vampire Garb	Wild West Wear

• Powers: Assorted powers implied to only take effect in Smash Run. A similar system was earlier used in Kid Icarus: Uprising. Most if not all powers have multiple levels; higher levels grant a greater number and/or more effective uses, but take up more of the total weight limit . The total weight limit is determined by a character's weight and speed, including equipment affecting their speed; the faster and lighter they are, the lower the weight limit.

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.
• When all special moves are collected, the game shows a message that says "Collected every custom special move! Show me your moves!", which references Captain Falcon's taunt in all four games.
