Super Sword Brothers

:Much of this is temporary and will be formatted later.
Super Sword Brothers is a fighting game released for the Nintendo Switch spin-off of the Super Smash Bros. series. While the game uses the same gameplay and mechanics as Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the game itself only includes characters that fight with swords; hence the title of Super Sword Brothers. The game is being developed by Sora Ltd. in conjunction with Existence Software and TimeStrike.
== Gameplay ==
Fans of previous entries into the Super Smash Bros. series will be immensely familiar with the gameplay featured in Super Sword Brothers. Essentially, it features the same gameplay attributes as the previous games in the series, though with major updates.
Super Sword Brothers, as its name implies, is a fighting game that features a slew of popular (or sometimes negligible) Nintendo characters, stages, themes, and more. Contradictory to most fighting games, the health bar goes up rather than down, meaning there is no really telling when your opponent will be defeated. To defeat, or KO (knock out) your enemy, though, you'll have to knock them off the edge rather than fully depleting their energy.
Once you hit your opponent, their damage meter percentage starts to go up. The farther up it is, the farther they'll soar when attacked. If they have a high damage percentage on their meter like 123% (the max is 999%), then the chances that they'll fly off the edge are tremendous. If the meter isn't too high, then they have a good chance of staying on the platform. Performing smash attacks when an adversary's damage meter is far up will result in an almost instant K.O. depending on the circumstances.
Once your character starts to fall off the edge, you'll oftentimes have to jump back by using your double and triple jump. Sometimes this won't work, however, usually when you're too far away to do so.
When a character does fall off an edge, then he or she will lose a life, or lose a point depending on which mode you're playing on (the former if you're playing on stock mode and the latter if you're playing on time mode). If you lose all of your lives, then you'll be removed from the current battle, and if you have the least amount of points by the end of the engagement, then you'll also lose. However, if the result is contrary to that, then you'll ultimately win the fight.
=== Online Play ===
Online Play has seen little change from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. There are four different main ways to play online.
*With Friends: Play against friends online.
*With Anyone: Play against strangers online.
*Tournament: Compete in online tournaments set up by friends or public tournaments created by other strangers.
*With amiibo: A new game type, a 2-on-2 match where two players either fight with one of their own amiibo or together with the other player against the two amiibo. With amiibo also includes "For Glory" and "For Fun" variations, and can be played against friends and their amiibo. amiibo fighters level up slightly faster in this mode.
With Friends allows players to create groups, and set custom rules for the game mode. In addition, players can also chat to each other by clicking the microphone button on the menu. Up to two players can play on one console in With Friends matches.
With Anyone features various other modes:
*For Fun: Play for fun. Match results are not recorded, and items and stage gimmicks are turned on.
*For Glory: For more competitive players. Match results are recorded, and an online leaderboard can be checked through this menu. No items appear, and all stages are their Ω versions.
For Fun and For Glory can be further divided. For Glory allows for either 1-on-1 or 2-on-2 matches, while For Fun allows for 4 Player Free for All or 2-on-2. Both 2-on-2 For Fun and For Glory matches can be played with up to two players fighting on a single console.
Players can also Spectate a random match currently occurring. One can choose to spectate a match between strangers, or choose instead to spectate a friend currently fighting a match.
== Characters ==
=== Playable Characters ===
Even though all fighters carry swords on them at all times, they are all clones of Captain Falcon. Except Captain Falcon, he is a clone of Shulk.
All characters are available to play as by default, sans Kellam. He is unlocked by not playing the game for a week.
As all fighters are clones of Captain Falcon, they all share a similar moveset. Though specifics may differ, they each share the same four special moves, standard attacks, and Final Smash. Each character's special moves and Final Smash are as follow:
*Neutral - powerful punch - The fighter punches forwards to deal damage.
*Side - dashing uppercut - The fighter dashes forwards, ending the travel with an uppercut.
*Up - exploding grab thing - The fighter jumps upwards. If they hit an opponent, they grab on to them, explode, and bounce away.
*Down - powerful kick - The fighter kicks, which either makes them travel forwards (if on the ground) or downwards (if in the air).
*Final Smash - powerful summon-y hitting thing - The fighter summons something from the foreground that can knock fighters into a cutscene. This cutscene shows them getting trampled by the same item, and they are knocked flying away.
For further information on how Captain Falcon's moves worked in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, see here. Please note that not all characters can wall jump. In fact, only Kellam can.
As previously mentioned however, Captain Falcon's moveset is identical to Shulk's from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U; he even carries around the Monado, just as Shulk did. For information on Captain Falcon's moveset, see here.

=== Assist Characters ===
Mirage Chrom assists his summoner by performing some flashy sword strikes across the stage multiple times. Awakening Chrom acts as the dud assist, crying for twenty minutes before disappearing. In stock matches, if all fighters lose all their stocks while Chrom is still on the stage, the camera will zoom in on the crying Chrom until the twenty minutes are up, at which point the battle will end. Similarly, Dapper Link strikes a pose as sparkles dance around him for ten minutes.

==== Poké Ball Pokémon ====
Barring the Swords of Justice, all Pokémon use Swords Dance once summoned, temporarily increasing their summoner's attack strength. The Swords of Justice instead use Sacred Sword, which deals heavy damage and knockback, though they have very limited range.
