DISCLAIMER TO MODS AND SMASH COMMUNITY: I just want to start by saying I’m not trying to add to the datamine craze that’s currently happening now. I wanna share this thread because I thought Nintendo could have done a better job at explaining Squad Strike. I can see if they showed us the name and then said you’ll just have to wait until 12/7 or something like that but they didn’t.
SQUAD STRIKE THREAD: Anyways, so based on these images I have found online. It appears you can customize these modes in 3 variants. I watched a video where these images are from so I can confirm this is how these play.
1. Tag Team: EDIT: Thanks to Ciro Blanco and video footage out there, it’s confimred it plays like Smash Tour with a character for each stock. It’s played as one continuous match until you or your opponent runs out of characters. I added a new image below with the Pirate Ship stage that shows different character icons for each stock just like how it was in Smash Tour.
2. Elimination: For those who have played Kings Of Fighters will know that this feels just like that. The first set of images show you how it’ll match up two fighters and after one defeats the other. Then the victor moves onto the next fighter in the opponents squad. You can also toggle if the victor recovers any % damage or just goes in with the same damage that fighter had taken in the previous round. (The first image with the fighters is for this variant.)
3. Best Of Series (insert number of matches): It’s pretty much how it sounds. Strictly one on one matches with no characters carrying over into the next round. Basically it’s best 2 out of 3 or best 3 out of 5.
My conclusion is I’m very happy with these options and toggles for damage, rules, stage morphs etc. It looks like Sqaud Strike will be a lot of fun and maybe even be allowed in the competitive scene??? Tag Team will be the setting I do every time! I’ll dabble with the other two but the Smash Tour style appeals to me the most. Hopefully in the future or DLC they consider the “tag team variety only” for 4 player smash. All in all this mode has succeeded my expectations. Squad Strike is a great addition and I can’t wait to unlock all the characters and play dozens of these mataches! Anyways, what do you all think?
