Replay is a feature in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It allows you to view replays of gameplay that you have saved such as: VS Mode matches, Stadium mode, etc. Videos can only be saved if they are 3 minutes or shorter. It is possible to save the replays to an SD Card. It is also possible to send them to Nintendo to be used for the Smash Service.
It is worth noting that while playing online in the "With Anyone" mode, the characters' scores will not appear on the screen above the characters' icons. However, when battles are saved as replays, the replays will show the score numbers above the characters' icons as if the players were playing a Group Brawl with "Score Display" turned on in the brawl settings.
Replays used for Smash Service are all from Stadium mode, due to their typically shorter length and file size.
Contrary to what some believe, a replay is not saved as a video recording of the match. Instead, the input data from the match is saved, so when a replay is watched, the game in fact re-generates the match fom the data. This makes replays much smaller in file size than a video file, and it also allows pausing and camera movement during the replay.
If a character or other element is loaded during a match faster than expected (such as because of pausing or online lag), then the replay of that match has to "freeze" and finish loading the element before it can continue.
The Replay Glitch
Reports from YouTube users state that replays may alter what had been recorded (this is fixed in the PAL version). Although there are witnesses to the Wi-Fi battles, none of these have been proven since no one has taken the time to record both the actual battle and the replay in the same video. This is on a multi-user basis, meaning it is not a description or comment rumor linked to one Brawl group.
