Editing With Anyone

'''With Anyone''' was one of two modes for online play in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. In this mode, players could play against any random players online. In ''Ultimate'', this feature was replaced with [[Quickplay]].  

Online play was introduced in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. In this mode, anyone could play against anyone online in 2-minute Timed matches using three different options. Players' names remained anonymous, and battle records were not kept. Players had 45 seconds to select a [[character]]. After that, they could spend a [[coin]] to cast a vote on what [[stage]] to play on and which [[item]]s to toggle on or off. If a player got disconnected in the middle of the match, their character would be swapped with a CPU player without the rest of the players being notified. If a player quit in the middle of a match, the entire match ended and all players would be sent back to the [[Wi-Fi]] selection screen. Upon launch, players experienced significant input lag, with their actions occurring onscreen far later than when they inputted, and slow connections frequently slowed down or halted matches. ''Brawl''{{'}}s online play was discontinued with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection's shutdown on May 20th, 2014.

Four players were randomly chosen and split into two-player teams, red or blue, with [[Team Attack]] turned off. Unlike in [[With Friends]], this did not allow two players on the same console to face two other players. If players were working great together (such as getting many KOs), the game would let them stay on the same team for several matches.

Online play returned in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' via [[Nintendo Network]]. Two distinct game modes were now available: [[For Fun]] and [[For Glory]]. In both modes, [[Mii Fighter]]s and [[character customization]] were disallowed. To use Miis or customizations online, the player needed to be in [[With Friends]], or in a {{b|Tourney|SSB4-Wii U}} that allowed them.

Online play in ''SSB4'' addressed much of the problems plaguing the online play featured ''Brawl'', such as its latency issues. A ranking system was added to determine the opponents a player fights against, and a new ban system was implemented for more enjoyable battles - punishments and temporary bans were given to players who are repeatedly idle, relentlessly target a single player, repeatedly [[self-destruct]], frequently drop out, cheat, or falsely report other players. A limit on the number of times a player can taunt was also added, in an attempt to prevent "[[Taunt match|taunt parties]]", this limit is 2 + the number of KO's the player has gotten (therefore allowing a taunt after every KO).

After selecting a character in either mode, players were taken to a unique waiting area which is an exact replica of the stage chosen, also containing a CPU that is a slightly darker clone of the player's character that remains idle (except to [[Recovery|recover]]) until damaged for any reason, at which point it begins attacking. If the match does not start after some time, a second appeared.

In this mode players could fight in 2-minute Timed matches. All items ere enabled, as is every stage except for {{SSB4|Final Destination}} and all stage's [[Ω form]]s. There were two modes in For Fun: a free-for-all Smash and 2-on-2 Team Smash. Only the player's number of wins were recorded.

This mode was catered towards competitive play. Items are disabled and only Final Destination and Ω form stages could be played on. This mode adds 1-on-1 Smash, which is a 2-stock battle with a 5-minute time limit. Like in For Fun, there were also standard free-for-all Smashes, and 2-on-2 Team Smashes. Wins, losses, and other stats were recorded.

*In {{for3ds}}, a glitch could occur that banned a player from online play for up to 4,294,967,295 seconds (displayed in-game as 71,582,788 minutes and 15 seconds), or about 136 years; the glitch often occurred as a result of constantly pursuing a single player in free-for-alls. The cause of the glitch is thought to be due to an {{s|wikipedia|integer overflow}} from an unsigned {{s|wikipedia|long integer}}; the system in place erroneously banned players for a negative number of seconds, causing the time to wrap into an extremely large number.<ref>[http://kotaku.com/super-smash-bros-glitch-bans-players-for-136-years-1653934334]</ref> This glitch was later on fixed.
