Super Smash Bros: Rifted

Smash Bros: Rifted is the sixth game in the Super Smash Bros series, while it first launched on the Nintendo Switch as expected, soon after it became the first Smash game to also release on third party consoles such as the Xbox and Playstation. Rifted has optional cross-play as well as cross progression which can be used with an in-game Rifted Account which uses a username and password, allowing you to keep your progress between all your consoles.
== Gameplay ==
Rifted keeps the core Smash Bros gameplay alive with damaging foes and racking up their percent to knock them off-stage. However, this game introduces many new techniques, tricks and abilties to spice up your battles and keep things fresh. 
=== New Additions ===
* Status Effects - Status effects are now a very common sight in battles, appearing in most fighters movesets. These effects add many strategies for offensive, defensive or supportive play. Try synergize these effects with your partner in 2v2 with things like healing or stat boosts. Or use them to attack and knockout foes with things like fire or debuffs. 
* Mods - Mods are power ups or boosts your Fighters can equip to become stronger or even learn new abilities. Each Fighter can equip upto 4 different mods before a match begins. Each Fighter has their own 3 unique Smash Mods which are very powerful mods that can only be used by that fighter. Smash mods will usually grant boosts that effect specific moves or abilities unique to the character they belong to. Normal Mods can be equipped by any Fighter and give general boosts that usually effect stats or give new abilities any Fighter could use. 1 Smash Mod and 3 Normal Mods can be used at a time. You can even use Amiibo to save your Mod Loadouts and instantly equip them.
=== Team-Play ===
While 1v1 Battles are still around, Rifted has a strong focus on 2v2 Battles, almost every character is equipped with moves they can use to support their allies in battle. For example: Mario's down Special has him hop down into a green pipe and jump back out from another pipe in a different location, to get around quicker. The pipes linger for awhile and allies can jump into the pipes too and use them just like Mario. Or how Bowser can breathe flames onto his allies hands, causing their next attack to light foes on fire. Teamwork is encouraged and can be the difference between defeat and victory. 
=== Multiplayer Modes ===
* Versus - Battle it out with upto 8 players and/or CPU in a classic Smash Bros match or a customised match using settings of your own. Can be played in FFA and Teams. Online Mode can be played in 1v1 2v2 or 4 Player FFA. There is even an option to switch between Casual and Expert mode, Casual is like a normal match while Expert mode enables many advanced techniques like wavedashing that may be hard for beginners to use.
* Tournament - Create a bracket of players and/or CPU that fight against eachother in multiple different matches until only 2 remain for the ultimate showdown! In the settings you can set it to Turn Mode where 1 match is played at a time and all other players spectate, or Multi Mode where all battles play at once and players can spectate any active match when their one is over. 2-4 players can be put together in a single team if the host chooses.
* Rogue Smash - A special party mode made up of multiple small matches. The game begins with a quick match where each player has 1 stock. When the match finishes the winner gets a point and everyone gets Gold. You get more Gold the lower down on the ranks you were on the previous match, to help you catch up. Players can then spend that gold on permanent upgrades between matches like items, Mods, extra characters and crazy new abilities. This loop continues until one player reaches 10 points. Things like the amount of points needed to win, how much gold is won, or what upgrades show up can be customised in the settings. Can be played in teams.
* 
* Board Battle - Another party mode which sort of act like an extension of Rogue Smash. Board Battle is a Mario Party inspired mode where players roll dice to move around the board. After every turn there is a quick battle or minigame which rewards players with gold based on how well they did. Around the board there are spaces you can land on which contain many of the same upgrades items and mods from Rogue Smash. However, there are also spaces which allow you create bridges or do things like steal coins from players. In order to win the player must collect 3 smash balls scattered across the map. You can spend your gold at shop spaces to buy upgrades or items that can help you out on the board like swapping places with someone or getting an extra dice. In the settings you can change it so the game ends after a set amount of turns and whoever has the most balls wins. Can be played in teams.
