'''With Anyone''' is one of two modes for online play. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s version of this mode, the player could play with people they were not friends with. The opponent(s) did not know their name or receive any personal information about them. There were also be no battle records kept for this mode. With Anyone contained three different options. ''Brawl''{{'}}s online modes were shut down on May 20th, 2014.
'''With Anyone''' is one of two modes for online play introduced in {{brawl}}. In this mode, anyone can play against any random players online.
 
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', "With Anyone" has been split into two modes: "[[For Fun]]" and "[[For Glory]]".


==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
Online play is introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. In this mode, anyone can play against anyone online in 2-minute Timed matches using three different options. Players' names remain anonymous, and battle records are 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 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. gameplay.
===[[Basic Brawl]]===
===[[Basic Brawl]]===
The player could battle online with players they were not friends with. Players had 45 seconds to select a [[character]]; this measure was in place to prevent stalling. The players could cast a vote on what [[stage]] to play on and what [[item]]s to turn on or off using [[coin]]s. If a player left in the middle of a match, the entire match ended and everyone taking part would be sent back to the [[Wi-Fi]] selection screen.
The player could battle online with any random players in 3- or 4-player matches.
 
===[[Spectator]]===
In this mode, players could watch other people's battles. The player could bet up to 100 coins on a player or team that they thought would win the match. If the player or team the player bets on won, there was a jackpot and the player would receive roughly three times the amount of coins bet, or two times the amount bet if it was a team battle. Occasionally, there were be a bonus rounds in which the player could earn double the usual amount of coins received if the selected player was the victor. If the person the player bet coins on won, they would gain more coins. Also, the player could win some [[sticker]]s, even if they lost.


===[[Team Battle]]===
===[[Team Battle]]===
Team battle did not allow two players on the same [[Wii]] facing two other players, unlike in [[With Friends]] mode. Instead, the player was randomly matched with someone for their partner, and battled two other players on a team with [[Team Attack]] off. The player needed to have four players to start a With Anyone Team Brawl on Wi-Fi. A Team Battle player was unable to change their character's [[Palette swap (SSBB)|color]], and the team colors were randomly chosen as Red or Blue.  
Players are randomly chosen and split into two two-player teams, red or blue, with [[Team Attack]] off. Unlike in [[With Friends]], this does not allow two local players to face two other players.


===Criticisms===
===[[Spectator]]===
''Brawl''{{'}}s With Anyone modes received much criticism relating to their mechanics and the nature of gameplay:
In this mode, players could watch other matches. The player could bet up to 100 coins on a player or team. If that player or team the player betted on won, the player received three times the amount of coins bet in a Basic Brawl, or two times the amount bet in a Team Battle. Occasionally, there were be a bonus rounds in which the player could earn double the usual amount of coins received if the selected player was the victor. If the person the player bet coins on won, they would gain more coins. PLayers could win some [[sticker]]s, even if they lost.
*Matches could only be 2-minute Time matches, which was often too short and does not provide enough time for thorough gameplay. Coin matches and Stock matches could not be played.
*Players could only have their choice of items or stage one-fourth of the time, and were often forced to play with items and on stages they did not wish to play on.
*Online matches were commonly filled with players of low skill level, players who ran away from all combat, players who [[griefing|griefed]] and [[taunt match|fooled around during matches]], and players who did not input any controls.
*Basic Brawl matches could only have three or four players, and CPUs were randomly forced in when there were less than three players, sometimes making 1v1 matches impossible.
*Players had no way of being able to rematch certain opponents in the future, and could not prevent themselves from playing against certain opponents.
*Inputs had several frames of input lag, meaning that actions on screen occurred later than they normally would have offline, and slow connections frequently slowed down or halted gameplay.

=== Fixes from ''[[Brawl]]'' ===
 
[[Masahiro Sakurai]], the game's lead developer, announced plans to solve many of the problems found in ''Brawl''; the new game modes allow players to play with items off and on [[Final Destination (SSB4)#Ω Forms|Omega]] stages every time they play or with items on and on any non-Final Destination stage. Online Team battles return as well, functioning similarly to ''Brawl''. A ranking system is used to determine the opponents a player fights against. In addition, a new ban system was implemented for more enjoyable battles. Punishments and temporary bans are be given to players who:
 
* Join but do not fight (don't touch the Control stick for 30 seconds, even if holding a button for attacks like Inhale will count as being idle. Note that this only disconnects the current match without a ban)
* Relentlessly target a single player
* Repeatedly [[self-destruct]]
* Frequently drop out (for any reason)
* Cheat (stated as "other abuses of the system")
* Report another player falsely or without a good reason
 
Of note is that if one is banned from With Anyone, then they are also banned from With Friends.

With Anyone is one of two modes for online play introduced in Template:Brawl. In this mode, anyone can play against any random players online.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Online play is introduced in Super Smash Bros. Brawl via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. In this mode, anyone can play against anyone online in 2-minute Timed matches using three different options. Players' names remain anonymous, and battle records are 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 items 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 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. gameplay.

Basic Brawl

The player could battle online with any random players in 3- or 4-player matches.

Team Battle

Players are randomly chosen and split into two two-player teams, red or blue, with Team Attack off. Unlike in With Friends, this does not allow two local players to face two other players.

Spectator

In this mode, players could watch other matches. The player could bet up to 100 coins on a player or team. If that player or team the player betted on won, the player received three times the amount of coins bet in a Basic Brawl, or two times the amount bet in a Team Battle. Occasionally, there were be a bonus rounds in which the player could earn double the usual amount of coins received if the selected player was the victor. If the person the player bet coins on won, they would gain more coins. PLayers could win some stickers, even if they lost.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

Online play returns in Super Smash Bros. 4 via Nintendo Network. Two distinct game modes are now available: For Fun and For Glory. In both modes, Mii Fighters and character customization are disallowed. To use Miis or customizations online, the player must be in With Friends, or in a Tourney that allows them.

Online play in SSB4 addresses much of the problems plaguing its previous incarnation from Brawl. A ranking system is now used to determine the opponents a player fights against, and a new ban system was implemented for more enjoyable battles - punishments and temporary bans are be given to players who are repeatedly idle, relentlessly target a single player, repeatedly self-destruct, frequently drop out, cheat, or falsely report other players.

For Glory

Main article: For Glory

This mode supports is catered towards competitive play. Items are disabled and only Final Destination and Omega form stages can 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 are also standard free-for-all Smashes, and 2-on-2 Team Smashes. Wins, losses, and other stats are recorded.

Trivia

  • In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, a glitch could occur that banned a player from online play for 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.
