Super Smash Bros. Torrent

Super Smash Bros. Torrent is the newest and 6th installment of the Super Smash Bros. series and the second to be released for the Nintendo Switch, meaning it is the first game in the series to be released on the same console of its predecessor. It is being developed by Sora Ltd. and Bandai Namco.
==Gameplay==
Super Smash Bros. Torrent takes inspiration from it's previous entry, keeping most controls. The pacing of battles is slightly increased, but still not as fast as Super Smash Bros Melee's. Many mechanics return from Ultimate's, including footstools, short hop aerial attacks, perfect shields, increased damage in one on one fights, etc. Some mechanics, however, have been cut, which include continuous locks, penalized rolling and sidestepping, and weakened pummels.
As with all other entries, the primary goal is to attack and damage opponents to increase their damage percentage. With a high percentage, sending players flying across the stage becomes both easier and faster.  If a player manages to knock an other off the stage, they are given a score which will determine the winner at the end.
Basic moves can be performed by the player using either 'A' in the air or on land, while special moves are performed using 'B'. Variations of these attacks can be done by pressing the buttons while tilting the right stick, with a different move being used depending on the direction of the tilt. Players can use their shield to block almost all attacks by using 'L'. The shield shrinks through being hit, and if it is too small, it breaks. This briefly stuns the player. They can also dodge by tilting the right stick either down or sideways while shielding. 
Players can grab using 'R'. Once they have grabbed, they can perform a pummel by using 'A', or throw by tilting the right stick. Players can break free of grabs by mashing buttons, but if their damage percentage is high, it becomes harder to do so.
The Final Smash is another returning feature. A rainbow colored orb with an off center cross embedded into it, known as the Smash Ball, has a chance to float across the screen. If it is hit enough, it will break. The player who has broken it is surrounded in a multicolored aura, and pressing 'B'  in this state allows them to perform the previously mentioned Final Smash, a super move of sorts which deals a great amount of damage to whoever it hits. Final Smash Meters return from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where players gradually build up their Final Smashes over time through dealing and taking damage, before unleashing a weaker Final Smash.
Online play's accessibility has been increased drastically, with ranks becoming introduced throughout the modes, allowing newcomers to not be easily outmached and instead paired against equals.

====Classic Mode====
In this mode, the player is presented with 7 battles, with 7 stages and 7 sets of opponents. Each character has a predetermined roster of fights, with some having their own rules and conditions. The player can choose both the difficulty of this mode, ranging from Easy, Normal, Advanced, Hard and Master. Each difficulty also determines how many lives the player is given. Should the player run out of lives, they are presented with a Game Over screen.
The first 6 battles are against other characters, but the final battle is unique, and it varies upon difficulty. In Easy and Normal, the player faces off against Master Hand. In Advanced, both Master and Crazy Hand are fought. In Hard, if Master Hand is defeated first, Crazy hand transforms into the Master Core. And on Master, if Crazy Hand is defeated first, Master Hand shines a blinding, blue light, and morphs into the shape of a woman, becoming the Master Soul.
The Master Soul attacks with exploding spheres of energy, lasers, shooting stars and giant fists. It shrinks as it is hit, and once it is no bigger than the fighter themselves, it fades away.
====All-Star Mode====
A mdoe where one or two players face off against every fighter in the game, with only one stock throughoout the entire challenge. The fighters are fought in groups of 6, 13 rounds in total. Players are not healed in between fights, instead being placed in a resting room with a predetermined set of healing items.
The order of which the fighters are fought can be changed. There's Chronologically, where you fight the characters in order of when they debuted in gaming, Reversed, which, quite obviously, goes from newest to oldest, and Random, where there is no order to the fighters.
====Events====
The Event Mode takes the player through a series of special challenges that place the player in scenarios with certain conditions and an objective that must be met.
