Super Smash Bros. V (Switch game)

For a similar idea made by S-Spike, click here.
Super Smash Bros. V  (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ章V, Great Fray Smash Brothers Chapter V, often shortened to "SSBV" and "Smash V") is a fighting video game, and the sixth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series. The game was developed by Bandai Namco Studios, Platinum Games and Sora, and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch.
This game is a crossover that features characters, items, music, and stages from various Nintendo franchises, including Mario, Donkey Kong, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Kirby, Metroid, Star Fox, The Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, among others, including Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog, Capcom's Mega Man, Bandai Namco's Pac-Man, Konami's Metal Gear and Bomberman, Rare's Banjo-Kazooie, Mojang's Minecraft, Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls and Yacht Club's Shovel Knight.
The game was released on July 14, 2018, and received mostly positive reviews from critics upon its release. Most praise was directed at the game's controls, overall gameplay, graphics, and characters, despite certain criticism with the amount of unlockable/secret characters, with some reviewers calling it the best game in the Super Smash Bros. series. Selling more than 5 million copies, the game was the fastest-selling game in the franchise and the fifth best-selling game in 2018.

==Gameplay==
===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.

===Palutena's Guidance===
Palutena's Guidance is a Smash Taunt that can be activated by Pit on the returning Palutena's Temple stage (or, unlike in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, its Ω Form). Just as in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the player must quickly tap the button that would initiate Pit's down taunt to activate the Smash Taunt.
==Characters==
===Playable Characters===
The cast of 72 playable characters (80 if Sheik and Zero Suit Samus are included and the three different Pokémon of the Pokémon Trainer and the three Mii Fighter types are treated as individual characters) includes 52 returning veterans from Smash 4 and 18 newcomers. Of these, 24 are starter characters and 42 need to be unlocked.
While Little Mac (who returns as an assist trophy), Palutena (who still makes an appearance through Palutena's Guidance), Shulk, Lucas, Ryu, Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta do not return from SSB4, three fighters - Ice Climbers, Ivysaur, Squirtle, and Wolf - return after being absent following Brawl.
Super Smash Bros. V introduces the fewest new playable universes, with five: ARMS, Splatoon, Shovel Knight, The Elder Scrolls, Minecraft, Banjo-Kazooie, Bomberman, and Mach Rider. The other newcomer fighters come from universes that previously had playable representatives, these series being Yoshi, Kirby, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Metal Gear, and Super Mario. All in all, there are 18 newcomer fighters.

Like in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, several fighters appear as alternate costumes for other characters, accessible through palette swaps. They are effectively separate fighters that share the exact same moveset and character slot as the fighter they are a costume of; they have no gameplay differences.

===Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon===
84 different Pokémon can be summoned into battle using the Poké Ball and Master Ball items. They act much like characters summoned by Assist Trophies, assisting the fighter that summoned them for a short time either by attacking or by boosting their various stats.
While the Poké Ball item can summon any of the Pokémon listed below, the Master Ball item can only summon Legendary Pokémon, as well as a few non-legendaries. The specific Pokémon that can be summoned from a Master Ball are the following: Arceus, Buzzwole, Darkrai, Deoxys, Entei, Genesect, Goldeen, Kartana, Kyogre, Kyurem, Latias & Latios, Lugia, Manaphy, Marshadow, Meloetta, Moltres, Mew, Palkia, Raikou, Suicune, Turtonator, Victini, Volcarona, Volcanion, and Zoroark.

==Modes==
===Versus===
====8-Player Versus====
====Special Versus====
Special Versus is a form of Versus Mode where players are able to customize several different factors to significantly change the way the game plays. None of these options are mandatory, and any of them can be turned off to set them back to default.
*Health: 300%/Stamina
*Restoration: Low/High
*Size: Mega/Mini
*Head: Flower/Bunny
*Body: Metal/Clear/Tail/Rocket Belt/Screw/Back Shield
*Status: Curry/Reflect
*Gravity: Light/Heavy
*Speed: Slow/Fast
*Camera: Fixed/Angled

===Adventure Mode===

====Stat Bonuses====
===All-Star Mode===

====Home Run Contest====
====Multi-Man Smash====
Multi-Man Smash is a type of mode that pits the player (or two players) up against large groups of opponents. There are several different variations of the Multi-Man Smash, all of which return from previous instalments.
*10-Man Smash: The player is pitted against 10 randomly generated Mii Fighters.
*100-Man Smash: The player is pitted against 96 randomly generated Mii Fighters and four randomly chosen playable fighters at certain "checkpoints". The difficulty of the fighters gradually increases over time. The playable fighters are fought once 25, 50, 90, and 99 Mii Fighters have been defeated. The appearance of the first three fighters signals an increase in difficulty.
*3-Minute Smash: The player is challenged to survive an onslaught of Mii Fighters for a total of 3 minutes. After one and two minutes have elapsed, a playable fighter will appear, with their difficulty setting significantly higher than the Mii Fighters.
*15-Minute Smash: The player is challenged to survive an onslaught of Mii Fighters for a total of 15 minutes, with the difficulty increasing over time. Every minute, a playable fighter will appear, signifying an increase in difficulty.
*Rival Smash: The player competes against an AI version of themselves - their "rival" - in an endless match. The game ends once the player is KO'd, and wins if they defeat more Mii Fighters than their rival.
*Endless Smash: The player fights an onslaught of Mii Fighters for an indefinite amount of time, ending once the player is defeated.
*Cruel Smash: The player is pitted against an onslaught of extremely difficult Mii Fighters; their difficulty set higher than even level 9 CPU fighters. To make the mode even more challenging, unlike all other modes in the Multi-Man Smash, items do not appear to aid the player (or Mii Fighters), and the player has a high knockback modifier.
Up to nine fighters - not including the player - may appear on screen during any of these game modes, though the amount of CPU fighters will increase over time; starting at three at once and gradually building up to nine.

==Tier List==
The game's current tier list can be viewed here. It was organized by the Smash Back Room on Smashboards. According to the list, Raiden is the "best" character in the game.
In gaming, a tier list is a list that ranks all characters based on the strength of their fighting abilities and their potential to win matches under tournament conditions, assuming equal skill on the part of each player. A tier list is decided based on the analysis of the following:
*The metagame and the effectiveness of the characters' strategies
*Each character's moveset and statistics
*Each character's matchup spread
*Each character's tournament results
Tier lists are commonly made for fighting games that are played on the high competitive level, such as Mortal Kombat (2011). Some games that aren't fighting games, but have large character sets, such as the Pokémon series, can also have their own tier lists. Read more on this here.
==Changes from Smash 3DS/Wii U==
===Gameplay changes===
===Aesthetic changes===
*Having been split into seperate characters in Smash 4, Zelda and Samus regain their abilites to transform into Sheik and Zero Suit Samus respectively (although in the case of Zelda, transforming into Sheik now must be performed through her Down Taunt). Also, the Up or Down Taunt button must be pressed if Pokémon Trainer is to switch between Pokémon, meaning that each Pokémon (Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard) now has just two taunts (left and right).
