I want Tournament Mode too!

[1FC0]

Does anyone have any clue when or if the 3DS will get Tournament Mode? If so please tell me what you know or think regarding this matter and optionally I would like to be informed as to how or why you know or think that.

There is no reason to believe 3DS will receive tournament mode. We don't have any news on this.

Given how Tournament Mode is currently, I'd much rather have something else, unless Tournament Mode gets fixed to be less awful.

Tournament Mode needs to be no items, Fox only, Final Destination!

They've not said anything about a Tournament Mode for the 3DS version. It's unknown if there's ever going to be one for it.

I would love Tournament Mode for the 3DS! I hope Nintendo considers adding it.

This thread has some more details about what some people don't like about it, but from what I can tell, these are the main criticisms of the tournament mode in Smash Wii U as it is now:

• No ability to create your own 1v1 tournaments.
• No offline tournament mode.
• Time limit for official 1v1 tournaments (3 minutes) is too short and rewards certain play styles over others.
• Official tournaments start at designated times, even if they're full 20 minutes before then.
• Custom moves and equipment are not separable, if customs are allowed, all players can also use equipment.
• Supply of most popular tournament types (i.e., 1v1 stock) does not match up well with their demand, requiring people who want to enter them to usually have to wait a while.
• Everyone in one bracket is punished if someone purposely disconnects or has connection issues.
• No team tournaments.

Of course, your mileage may vary on how much the stuff listed above matters to you.

As for a 3DS tourney mode, I'd personally like to see it, but I'm not sure how likely it is given that tourneys were presented as a Wii U thing in the 50 Facts direct.

I feel that nintendo just moved the 3ds version on a dusty corner and it's just adding the DLC's and patches, i would love to see an improved tourney mode and then be added on the 3ds, but i don't think they will do it, which sucks. I'm not interest at all on buying a Wii U only for smash bros.

i could see them keeping tournament exclusive for the wii u and having some other mode for the 3ds if the 3ds even gets that much attention

Until they fix it on Wii U 3DS won't get it. As others have said it's been pretty poorly implemented.

Most of my 1v1 regular tourney matches go to time out, you can't create 1v1 tournaments on your own, 1v1 For Glory has 15 minute wait times because it doesn't immediately start when full and it takes a long time waiting for other people's matches, and anything involving equipment (including custom glory 1v1) is reduced to whoever uses the most broken setups.

Wii U needs to have it fixed first.

I don't think the mode will ever arrive on the 3DS version. Besides, it's more of a Wii U-exclusive feature anyway.

honestly, after getting it for Wii U, there was so much disappointment that makes me think it might be a good thing 3DS doesn't get it
