List of regional version differences (SSBU): Difference between revisions

This article lists differences between the many available versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Most differences are between the [[NTSC]] and [[PAL]] version, as well as a few differences specific to a particular region. As with ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Smash 4]]'', these differences are largely aesthetic due to requiring consistent gameplay for online play between regions. As the [[Nintendo Switch]] is not region-locked, all versions of ''Ultimate'' are stored on a single cartridge. These different versions can be accessed by changing the language in the game settings or changing the region in the system settings.

Like ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', Costume 1 & 2 for R.O.B. are ordered different depending on game language to match regional history. If the language is set to Japanese, Chinese or Korean, the first costume will be the red and cream color scheme used in those regions, and the second costume is the gray color scheme used for international versions. These costumes are swapped for all other languages.

 

{{SSBU|Palutena}}'s first and second victory animation and {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}'s second victory animation each have two different versions: one for the Japanese and Chinese versions, and another for all other versions. The difference is their mouths are animated slightly different to avoid awkwardness caused by the mouths stopping early or continuing after the voice line had stopped.

Rool}}.
