Smash

Smash focuses on pure combat, serving as a great place to practice fundamentals and advanced techniques that apply to virtually all available game modes. You can adjust the settings and match rules to suit your tastes, but the basic objective will always be the same: attack your opponents to deal damage and launch them off of the screen!
