Super Smash Bros. Legendary is a Smash game developed by Golden Studios.
Gameplay[]
Super Smash Bros. Legendary plays the same as the last 5 installments. The SSB series is unique as it has characters health replaced by %'s. As each Player gets hit more and more, they're % grows higher and higher. The higher the %, the farther they'll fly. The goal is to knock the opponent off of the stage and/or off the screen in order to Score a K.O. The highest % is 999%.
The controls don't differ from the last game. They are more or less the same from the last game, with Final Smashes and charged attacks. There is also new grab attack, however: when in mid-air, you can grab the opponent and throw them in and direction. The biggest new mechanic is that every character has a parry they can use on projectiles in air or on ground. However, to avoid spam, they can only use it once or twice before waiting for a meter above their health to refill. Finally, the wavedash tech from Melee has returned as it's own function, and was implemented for more competitive players.
Changes from Smash Ultimate[]
- 8-Player Smash is now put into Standard Smash instead of being it's own mode.
- Beating Classic Mode now rewards the player with a special costume for the character the player beat it with. Unique costumes were made for fighters with little source (Sherrif, Mr. GAW, Ice Climbers, etc.)
- Wave Dashing makes a comeback as a mechanic to invoke competitive play.
- 2 brand new mechanics were added: Air-Grabs and Parrying.
- Many veteran fighters where slightly modified. You can find more detail about the changes below.
- The graphics are now more cel-shaded in the style of a comic book, even more so then in Smash 4.
- Shaking the Joycon will make the player character use their neutral special. Shaking it left, right, up, or down will have them use their Up, Down, or Side special respectively. This can be turned off in the menu.
- Battle damage is shown on characters the more they get hit. (Ex: Peach's gown gets slightly torn, Meta Knight's mask slightly cracks, more human characters get bruses and cuts, etc.)
- Certan team matches will give the team a special name (Ex: Mario + Luigi = Mario Brothers, Ness + Lucas = PK Defenders, Peach + Daisy = Flower Power, Bowser + Bowser Jr = Koopa Troop, etc.)

Captain Toad | Captain Toad is a lightweight fighter who isn't very strong but makes up for it in speed. The unique thing about him however is that he doesn't have a jump.

His moveset is made to be ready for most situations, much like the Captain usually is himself. And dispite having no jump, his air game is pretty decent! | |||||||||||||

Both also shair stocks and health, and if one is K.O'ed both are K.O'ed. This can also be played with a second player, and both swap between controling. This can be played with up to 12 players. Note that this mode is banned from Tourniments.

The stages you fight on are set to flat by default, but you can make it so every stage could be avalible or just one stage only. Also, you can play these online as well with friends or anyone else. You can even set prizes for the winners like a Mii Costume or a Screenshot or a Trophy/Smash Card.
In Omega Smash, it at first is nearly exactly like the normal VS Mode. However, apon entering a match, every character is given a random buff or de-buff and are forced to fight with it. There are many things these can effect: the characters, there attacks, items, the stages itself, and even if it's a Stock Match, Timed Match, or Stamina Match. Here is an example:
Smash Attack Damage | Heavy Weight | Fast Attacks | Explosives Only | Fixed Camera
In Master Hand Mode, you get the option to play as the Master Hand himself and fight off wave after wave of CPU enemies.
