Gameplay

Super Bros Smash. Fray takes again the principle of play of its predecessor: to gain, it is necessary to make leave its adversaries the ground. The distribution of normal blows (via the key A) or special (via the key B) progressively makes it possible to weaken the adversary and to increase its vulnerability with the blows, which facilitates its ejection of the level.

This very simple basic principle makes the play very accessible. Nevertheless, the play has many subtleties in the blows, dodgings, the jumps, the catches, the handling of the objects, and the technique of correction in-extremis , which it will be necessary to learn how to control to finish the play in entirety and to play high level as a multijouor.

According to the way in which one plays, of the no-claims bonus and maluses are allotted at the end of the combat. Dependant on time and to the inflicted damage, it make it possible to determine a score for the combat, without effective utility except in a multi-players mode.

Play in solo

Super Bros Smash. Fray has several modes of play for only one player:

Regular match

Play as a multijouor

The multijoueurs mode makes it possible to play from 1 to 4 players. If one only plays, at least a computer is needed, but one can also play 3 players, against a computer. The rules are much more personnalisables that in the solo mode. There are several types of plays multijoueurs:

Versus

The Versus mode is standard the multijoueurs mode. It is more personnalisable, since it is the player who decides number of participants (4 at the most), objects available, methods of victory (Time, Vies, Pièces, Technique), teams ..... It is also possible to play against characters managed by the computer, the latter then have a going level of difficulty of 1 (weakest) to 9 (most extremely).

Special Fray

The mode Special Fray is based on preset rules:

Camera Mode: Player 4 controls the camera, and can take photographs of the combat.
Stamina Mode: All the players start with 150 points of life. To fall or lose all its points of life makes you lose the part. The last survivor is gaining.
Super Sudden Death: All the players start with 300% of damage. This mode of play is often played with many lives, or certain people prefer to play with 6 lives and in the level " castle of hyrule" , combat being only carried out (except for some kill carried out out of the hole, where one cannot survive the least blow) in the cave (or hole), the players end up acquiring reflexes flashes in order not to rebound against the walls, lengthening of as much their lifespan.
Giant Mixed: All the players are giant, as if they had taken two super-champis (the fun of this mode is to add as object of super-champis who allow to fair to enlarge his character at the point to see only his toes…).
Tiny Mixed: All the players are small, as if they had taken two champi-poisons. (the fun it is also that if he you summers already small and that you adds champi-poisons then you will be with the size of an ant…)
Invisible Fray: All the players are invisible. It is thus very difficult to be located and the errors are frequent there.
Mixed Fixed-Camera: The camera does not fix any more the players, but the whole level. During the frays, to have good eyes is paramount.
Lightning Mixed: The play goes once and half more quickly. There too, the errors are frequent, especially if the players miss reflexes. Attention, time also passes in accelerated!
Slo-Mo Mixed: The play goes twice less quickly. It is one of the rare parts of the play where patience is of setting. The parts are there generally T R E S L O N G U.E. S.
Individual-Short prop Mode: the button B, Y, X, R, L and Z are unusable and does not remain that the button has and sticks. This mode is ideal to start to play but is too wearying for lack of combos.

Other modes

Among all the other modes, there is the trophies mode (see low) and of course, there is also a menu " Options" who allows to parameterize the play like activating or decontaminating a function which is called " Déflicker" , practical for the television sets not offering images extrèmement precise, since this function is used to add a light effect of blur.
