Team Names

When drafting a team, having certain players with a certain captain will change the team name.

This change is only cosmetic, and different team names do not affect anything during the game.

## Team Names

There are 48 different team names, 4 for each captain. For each captain, the team names go in a set pattern:

The 1st name (labeled 'Default' in the right image) is the team name used when no other team name is applicable.

The 2nd name (labeled 'Majority of players are x-type) is the team name used when the majority of your team are of the captains type (Balance, Technique, Speed, Power). The Majority is defined as having more players (including the captain) having your captains type than the other 3 types. If the captain's type amount is less than or equal to another type amount, then there will be no applicable majority.

The 'special' 3rd and 4th team names (labeled 'Have \*characters\* on team) is the team name used when those specific characters on the team with that specific captain. These teams need 3 to 5 players to get the name used.

The way team names are decided is as follows, in order:

1. If the team fits the description of the two special team names (3rd and 4th names), it will use whichever one the team fits with. If both special teams are applicable, then the 3rd team name will be used.
2. If the team fits the description of the 2nd team name (Having the majority of the team be the same type of the captain), then this team name will be used.
3. If all other team names are inapplicable, then the 'Default' team name will be used (1st name).

### Team Name Calculations

To find what team name to use, the game finds by doing this algorithm. Note: We are unaware of the exact algorithm used by the game, but this seems to be how it works most of the time. It does seem that ocassionally it will not go by this logic though. Nothing said here is perfectly accurate to our knowledge.

1. Checks each player to see if they are needed for a special team name, if so, then it adds to a counter. If this counter reaches a threshold (dependent on the team name), then the special team name is used. Note: The game does not check if a player is on the team multiple times, and will add to the counter anyway. This means it is possible to get a 'special' team name by only having many versions of one character needed to create that team. Ex. The Luigi Mansioneers need Bowser, Toad (Green is not specifically needed), Boo, and King Boo. By having a team with 4 Toads, the game will see that there are 4 characters that are on the Mansioneers, and use that name, although there is only 4 duplicates of the same character. This is only possible in Exhibition with cheats, but is possible in challenge mode with all 6 starting captains. While using this duplicated character cheat, if the team check works for both special team names, then the first one will be used, listed as the 3rd team in the above image. Ex. Having 4 Diddy Kongs on a Bowser Jr. Captain team will fit the description of both the Jr. Pixies and the Jr. Rookies, but the Jr. Pixies will be used.
2. Checks the type of each character, and compare the values of each type. If the captain's type has the majority over other types, then the 2nd team name will be used. If the captain's type has a value less than or equal to another type, then this will fail.
3. If these both fail, then the 'Default' team name will be used.
