In this mode, players choose their character as normal, entering a fight to see who comes out on top. When the match is over, players choose another fighter to play with for the next round, but any character that has already been used previously becomes unavailable. Players can keep going until the entire roster has been used up, and selection tactics could play a big part in winning this mode. Do you choose someone you&#8217;re strong with, or pick someone that your opponent usually uses, in the hopes of throwing them off course?<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a title=\"Smashdown\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/096f267b71372\/smashdown.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/096f267b71372\/smashdown.900x.jpg\" alt=\"Smashdown\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>On top of this, it was also announced that Tourney mode will be back in Super Smash\u00a0Bros.
