Fighters

All new abilities used by heroes are activated through motion inputs, which are done using the player's directional inputs. While players could still play without learning the commands, they will be significantly limited in what they can do.

There are three different types of abilities: Command Normals, Special Moves, and Super Moves

Command Normals are a hero's vanilla abilities, but powered up by inputting a motion input.

Special Moves are a hero's custom abilities. These must be activated through a motion input.

Super Moves are a hero's most powerful and impactful custom abilities. These must be activated through a motion input, but also cost 50% ultimate charge.
