Editing Duelist

{{stub}}

'''Duelist''' or '''Duelist Pro''' is an informal, fan-made game mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' using a custom stage with no [[floor]]. The main objective of the game is to use a character's [[Bomb recovery | bomb recovery]] avoid the [[Blast line | blast lines]] for as long as possible. Initially, characters often struggle to gain the height they need to avoid the bottom blast line, but as their [[damage]] increases, they must avoid being launched off the top. Some Duelist stages take place in an open box instead, where high [[knockback]] instead forces players into a [[tech]] situation to avoid being [[Stage spike | stage spiked]].

[[Solid Snake | Snake]] is the most popular character in Duelist; his [[C4]] allows him to survive indefinitely, and his ability to act out of [[Cypher]] allows him to harass opponents with other moves. In particular, his [[Snake_(SSBU)/Forward_aerial | forward aerial]] is a powerful spike, which is deadly because of the lack of solid ground in this format. Snake can also use his [[Air dodge | air dodges]] and [[Hand Grenade | grenades]] out of his [[Up special move | up special]] to survive longer.

Duelist can also be played with other characters that have a bomb recovery. This includes [[Link]], [[Young Link]], [[Toon Link]] and [[Banjo & Kazooie (SSBU) | Banjo & Kazooie]]. The latter of these shares many of the same traits as Snake, including the ability to act out of their up-special, [[Shock Spring Jump]]. However, many of these characters do not have an infinite bomb recovery at 0%, and must rely on a [[handicap]] to participate. [[Peach]] can also play Duelist in theory, either through incredible [[Randomness | luck]] or through [[Gameplay modification | mods]], with her [[Down special move | down special]], which has a 1/240 or 1/250 chance of pulling a [[Bob-omb]] depending on the game. This no longer works in Ultimate, as she can no longer hurt herself with her own Bob-omb.
