Even though Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has a whopping 86 challengers, there are still countless characters that fans would want to see represented in the Super Smash Bros. series. As such, it’s become a somewhat common practice for particularly talented individuals to actually mod the characters that they want to see into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate through hacking.
Over the years, we’ve seen a number of crazy creations emerge from the modding community, but it’s not entirely clear which custom fighter is the strongest. To discover the answer to this, TCNick3 and Poppt1 recently decided to have a crew battle that features 16 of these custom monstrosities.
TCNick3’s team consists of Knuckles, Shadow, Kamek, Waluigi, Masked Man, Vegito, Zeraora, and “George.” Poppt1 gets assigned Krystal, Decidueye, Sans, Sandbag, Funky Kong, Alucard, Blazikien, and Gengar.
For the most part, these players don’t really have much experience with these modded characters. To remedy this, they’re both provided with 15 minutes to go over everything their characters can do in the training room before the crew battle begins.
Some characters were able to showcase some fun surprises. For example, Poppt1 was initially very disappointed to randomly get Decidueye, but would later declare Decidueye to be his “favorite Pokémon” after getting some nice wins with the fighter.
This ends up being one of the craziest battles that we’ve seen for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, mostly because neither player is truly aware of what these custom creations are actually capable of before the fight begins. Needless to say, it ends up being a series that comes down to the wire.
