Editing Talk:Equipment

==Characters into Characters==
Are there any good means for assessing what equipment values can help modify characters into other characters?  I'd like to be able to, say, take Dr. Mario, and with some calculations and a bit of luck, be able to up his speed and down his attack to make him more like Mario  (Sans FLUDD).  Alternatively, this could help people create rollbacks for some of the characters who get fixed in patches.

I know SSB4 fans have mixed feelings about turning on customization, since the alternate B moves tend to be more savvy than the equipment, but if there were a way to make and describe equipment sets that allow characters to be added to the game which have stats which reflect previous iterations of Smash Bros, or allow a Captain Hawk player to play Gannondorf seamlessly, I think even the equipment customization might be considered with positive association.

:I do wish people would stop erasing the Japanese just because they don't play that version.

== Value of increase? ==

I've been toying around with equipment, and it seems that a +1 increase in Attack increases damage dealt by about 1%.

:I've given many characters a 200+ in attack and they did twice the amount of damage that they did at their base power.

== Values of equipment effects ==

At least in the world of amiibo, it seems that beneficial equipment have a negative value of sorts, while hindering equipment have a positive value of sorts.  I'm thinking that this probably has to do with the capacity of the max att/def/spd values of the amiibo, but maybe we could add those values.

== Unlockable equipment (Wii U) ==

Some equipment is “unlockable” through the [[List of challenges (SSB4-Wii U)|challenge board]] or [[event match]]es. Can this equipment also be obtained in other ways, or is it unique? Or perhaps it becomes available normally after being unlocked once, like some of the trophies? This should be tested and depending on the results, this equipment should be listed on [[List of unlockables (SSB4-Wii U)]]. —[[User:Fenhl|Fenhl]] 23:47, 1 March 2015 (EST)
:I strongly suspect that you can gain stuff just like unlockable equipment at random; the challenges and events just guarantee specific type-effect combinations. I'm not sure we can prove it though.

== Values of equipment ==

When updating the equipment values table, I've noticed that most equipment with medium rarity tends to have a maximum possible stat boost of 60. Plus, I don't think the developers would explicitly give some characters better possible pools of equipment than others. Is this a coincidence, or could all equipment of the same rarity have the same possible stat gains and losses?

== Another Equipment Thing ==

In this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CByuNTAp-RI video], there is a Fast Bat Striker, which sounds remarkably similar to the Quick Batter we have listed. Is this video PAL or something? [[User:SYZekrom|SYZekrom]] ([[User talk:SYZekrom|talk]]) 21:18, 21 June 2015 (EDT)

: Yep, the video is definitely PAL (you can see the word “Defence” in the screenshot of the custom Fox), and I can confirm that Fast Bat Smasher is the PAL name for Quick Batter. —[[User:Fenhl|Fenhl]] 10:52, 22 June 2015 (EDT)

== Equipment stats section revamp? ==

From what I've gathered, equipment stats are calculated as such: 

* Assuming no bonus effect, the positive stat is between 10 and 85 (10-30 = Common, 31-60 = Uncommon, 61-85 = Rare)
* The negative stat is between 50% and 70% of the positive stat.
* If equipment has a positive bonus effect, subtract the effect's (Amiibo) stat modifier from its positive stat value.
* Similarly, if equipment has a negative bonus effect, subtract the effect's stat modifier from its negative stat value.
* No equipment will be generated that results in a positive or a negative stat value below 5.
* After all those calculations, "generic" badges (Brawn, Protection, Agility) have both stats multiplied by 71.875% (23/32).
* Stats are rounded down if necessary.

This seems to hold for all of the equipment I have on my Wii U game (upwards of 1000), and for the most part lines up with the data in the "Known equipment stat values" section, which could probably be removed. I'm not sure what the probability of it generating equipment with a certain strength / effect is, but I imagine it varies between modes, difficulty, etc. Hope this helps! [[User:Jdaster64|Jdaster64]] ([[User talk:Jdaster64|talk]])
:This does seem to be the case, at least in the case of equipment second names (Toad, Sacred Treasures) not affecting strength. If anyone has any evidence against this, though, please present it.

::If nothing else, I'm 99.999% sure that the equipment second names always correspond to the ranges 10-30, 31-60, and 61-85; the game data has a huge table that seems to indicate that is the case. [[User:Jdaster64|Jdaster64]] ([[User talk:Jdaster64|talk]])

:Okay I'm referencing my own data and I have a question in regards to working backwards to obtain "raw" values. I have a Shield Exploder Protection Badge of +12/-30. Unbadging it leads to +16.7/-41.7, and removing the Shield Exploder (-30) from the positive gives +46.7/-41.7 - which is way too weak (negative is almost 90% of positive). On the other hand, I have an Item Shooter Ring of +40/-17, and removing the -33 from the positive leads to +73/17 - far too strong (~23%). There are enough of these abnormalities that I don't think it's a transcription error (okay, the ring might be, but not the badge). What's the deal?

:I haven't tested the stats of bonus effects on all of my generic badges yet, but all of them thus far line up with the process I outlined above, and fall everywhere within the [0.5,0.7) range. There is a single Hyper Smasher Brawn Badge that falls outside, with (+16,-28), but it's a challenge reward with fixed stats, and as such might not be subject to the same rules. Not sure why there seem to be a few outliers in your data, but I can tell you that all of my errors beforehand ended up being due to erroneously listing a few Agility Badges with all my character-specific equipment (they look similar to boots, and it's kind of tedious entering 800+ equipment pieces at once). The amiibo stat modifiers on the page currently line up with the game data from what I can tell (I added a few missing ones), and I haven't figured out how sell prices work. For the record, here's a link to a copy of my data thus far: [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64507723/ssb4_equipment.xlsx XLSX]. I'm probably going to be busy the next few days, so I won't really be able to look at it much more in-depth. [[User:Jdaster64|Jdaster64]] ([[User talk:Jdaster64|talk]])
: One more thing; on the note of sell prices, there's a list of floats tied to int ranges of positive stats in the game data that seem to have something to do with sell prices. For instance, 71-85 : 1.71, 61-70 : 1.44, 51-60 : 1.35...  There are definitely notable drops in sell prices every ten positive points; I tried to fit some functions to the data with these values in mind, but couldn't find anything very close. I'll go ahead a post a link to all the equipment data I was able to find in the game, in text form with some annotations: [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/64507723/parsed_data_annotations.txt Text] [[User:Jdaster64|Jdaster64]] ([[User talk:Jdaster64|talk]])
Sorry to spam this page, but I found out that sell prices for all effect-less equipment are (1.0 * positive - 0.6 * negative) * tier multiplier (1.71, 1.44, 1.35...), rounded down (e.g. Max-Power Gloves (+54, -30) = (54 - 0.6*30)*1.35 = 48G). Generic badges use the stat tier they ''would'' be if they were non-generic for the tier multiplier, but the stats they actually have for the positive and negative values (e.g. Rare Brawn Badge (+61, -36) = (61 - 0.6*36)*1.71 = 67G). In practice, I guess this means a Rare Brawn Badge w/(+43, -25) and a Super Brawn Badge w/(+43, -25) could have different sell prices, if their original stats were +61 and +60, respectively. I'm not sure how the sell price works for equipment with effects, since it seems to vary a lot more. It likely has to do with the stuff around the 1.00, 0.60 in the data, but I haven't turned up anything yet. [[User:Jdaster64|Jdaster64]] ([[User talk:Jdaster64|talk]])
: Equipment with bonus effects sell price: (1.0 * positive - 0.6 * negative + 1.1 * (positive stat modifier, if applicable) - 0.4 * (negative stat modifier, if applicable)) * tier multiplier (assuming unmodified stats), rounded down. I presume the same process for generic effectless badges applies to generic badges with effects as well. [[User:Jdaster64|Jdaster64]] ([[User talk:Jdaster64|talk]])

== Lost Forever ==

I had a custom character with a Rare Piece of Equipment that had +82 and -42 and I just did a curious experiment where I replaced it with a different Piece that had +70 and -35. When I saved the changes and went back into Equipment selection, the Equipment that had +82 and -42 was no longer in the inventory. It did not show up when I shifted the sorting category to "Last Used". Apparently, '''you can no longer change Equipment on custom characters without losing the Equipment that they were previously using'''. In what Patch Update did they implement this?

== Value of increase? ==

I have just discovered two pieces of equipment that have positive values exceed 85. The two pieces of equipment in question are my Picky Eater Sword (+88,−23) and my Risky Respawner Gloves (+89,−30). I daresay that the highest positive number for rare equipment is a "90". I have more another piece of equipment which adds to this theory. I have a Shield Regenerator Booster whose values are both +69 and −30 respectively (it sells for 126g, the highest out of everything on my Nintendo 3DS and my Nintendo Wii U). The table states that the Shield Regenerator bonus effect takes away 21 from the positive stat. Add 21 and 69 together and what do you get? 90. [[User:Blue Sun|Blue Sun]] ([[User talk:BlueSun|talk]]) 2:16, 27 November 2015 (EDT)
:Something seems off about this information, as it doesn't seem to follow the formula trend.

So, I have a "Sleep Kirby" Jigglypuff (Attack +80, Defense +21, Speed -32), right? Well, I wanted to test if my Jigglypuff is heavier than a normal one.

Then to prove that it wasn't the weight that was affected, I tested and recorded the amount of time it took for Mario to perform his back throw on the regular and +200 defence Bowser in 1/4 speed. It took the same amount of time for both, so the weight was not changed. [[User:Alex the weeb|Alex the weeb]] ([[User talk:Alex the weeb|talk]]) 11:01, 11 February 2017 (EST)

== No stats between 5 and -5? The negative value is 50–70% of the positive value? I'm not too sure. ==

I feel like this should be changed up or looked at more carefully; I just received Tough Edge Clothes and its stats are 89/-4. Now, taking the information we have about negative stat values, assuming that the original stat value was 44 (which is 44.5 rounded down from being half of 89), when we add the +33 modifier to the -44 stat it should be a -12. I also have a Risky Respawner Sword that has +88/-3 stats just like the Tough Edge Clothes with the negative values being above -5.

Beyond that I have a Critical Hitter Bat, Critical Hitter Needles, Auto Healer Sword, and Hyper Smasher Sword that all have 32/-30, 32/-30, 48/-30, and 61/-30 as their negative values respectively. When you take the negative modifiers from the main article and subtract them from the positive values, they all add up to 90 (-58 for Critical Hitter, -42 for Auto healer, and -29 for Hyper Smasher). Their negative values do not match up with either the original 90 stat (being below 50%) or the new stats after adding the modifiers to them (going above 70%) with the possible exception of the Hyper Smasher Sword (since 30 is the rounded down form of 30.5 which is half of 61). I'd bring up more equipment I have as examples that don't follow the typical rules but I'll just leave it at that for now.

All of the above are conquest prizes by the way, so that may have something to do with it.

== Extra damage nullified in knockback calculation ==

One thing that's unusual about the knockback relating to increased attack stats is that the game does not treat the moves as dealing as much damage as they do when calculating knockback for moves that are boosted by the attack stat. You can see this very clearly using the smash calculator, which for instance calculates that if the damage output were doubled, Mario's uncharged up smash would KO at 42.5% in training mode on FD. In fact under these conditions but with the damage doubled by a +200 attack stat, the move does not kill until 106%, much later. This clearly shows that the extra damage is mostly nullified, and the knockback increase is minimal (the default move kills at 118%, just 12% later). Does this sufficiently prove that the extra damage is ignored?

:Seems pretty straightforward, and mostly matches with my own testing and math. [[User:Toomai|Toomai]] [[User talk:Toomai|Glittershine]] [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] Da Bomb 19:58, 10 March 2018 (EST)

== Dr. Mario in Ultimate ==

Why does this info keep getting removed? From what I understand, Dr. Mario’s stats are coded to be completely identical to Mario’s, but have external modifiers that make him slower and stronger. Was this info false? [[User:Lou Cena|Lou Cena]] ([[User talk:Lou Cena|talk]]) 13:37, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
:Yes, this is correct, but in Ultimate these modifiers do not line up with equipment modifiers very well. ''[[User:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: blue;">'''Alex'''</span>]] the [[User talk:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: red;">'''Jigglypuff trainer'''</span>]]''

== Hyper Smash? ==

So I've been trying out Hyper Smash and it seems to work differently from what's posted here. I tried side smashes with Bowser and Jigglypuff first with no equipment, then with a Hyper Smasher Brawn Badge (+20 Attack). In both cases, an instant smash done with the badge on did more damage than a fully charged smash done without it, and fully charging the smash gave it as much extra damage (proportionally) as charging it up would without. Of course some of this is from the Brawn Badge, but I don't think it's much: a tilt attack only got 10% bonus damage from the badge, whereas a smash attack got about 50%.

This would mean that, instead of letting you charge up longer for more damage, Hyper Smasher simply gives all smashes bonus damage but makes them take longer to charge. It's basically like giving you instant full-powered smash attacks with the option to do even more damage by charging. This seems way more valuable than what it says on the tin (and is something I wish I'd known about while I was grinding for customs, heh). Can anyone verify this?

:20 attack is 1.16×. Add in Hyper Smasher's 1.3× and you got 1.508×; already greater than a normal, fully charged smash's 1.4×. Instead of raising the maximum number of charge frames and consequently the maximum charge damage, it increases the maximum number of charge frames and gives you a flat 1.3×. So yes, all smashes do get the bonus 1.3× at the cost of longer full charges, it just so happens that you only need a measly +10 attack to surpass a fully charged smash. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 06:35, June 18, 2021 (EDT)

== Star Rod ==

Hello, does anyone know if a Star Rod customization is available for Kirby in either the 3DS or Wii U version?
