As much as we at Nintendo Life love nearly everything Nintendo produces, we'd be lying through our teeth if we said that there wasn't room for improvement. The Tourney mode in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a classic example of a really good system that suffers from just a few minor oversights, and so we've trawled through comments sections and other internet-based areas to discover what the general population thinks could improve this new mode for mangling foes.
It's all contained in a neat little video below so you don't even have to strain your eyes past the end of this text to get the full experience. We know, we're so thoughtful.

Just let us make actual bracket Tournaments! These are just glorified Mariokart 8 rooms!
And Amiibo Tournaments would give me a reason to buy an Amiibo!
I downloaded and played an Online tournament this past weekend. I didn't even realize there was no local version, but that is a massive omission to the game. I was really looking forward to creating local tournaments with my group of friends that play Smash together.
I really hope this will be added in soon. It seems like it'd be very easy, as a local tournament is much easier to create than an online version.
Amiibo tournament also sounds amazing!
Shibata from nintendo europe admitted to reading nintendolife once I think, maybe someone high up in nintendo can get the tournament feedback back to sakurai
Amiibo tournaments and local are the only ones I would want but hey I can take what I can get
I still can't believe that we can't make regular or local tourneys. It's also a shame that you can't allow custom special moves without activating the stat-boosting items.
I'm still waiting for them to add battle mode stages in Mario Kart and for fun 1 on 1 in Smash... so I doubt they're in a particular hurry to fix yet another botched online mode.
Right on point Alex! I also was wondering why they're is no amiibo tournament mode. Feels as though I have this large collection of amiibos, that in reality do very little other than unlock bits of content here and there. Being able to train amiibos to battle others amiibos online would be fun imho.
I agree to every point stated. All except Special Smash tourneys and amiibo tourneys NEED to be added, and then those two other tourney modes/options can be put up as an option just as a bonus.
Yes. All of this.
@Pixel-Perfect Ugh...I hated Mario Kart 8's Battle Mode...
@NintendoFan64 I eventually got used to it... Kind of. But it would be infinitely better if they simply added a few stages tailored for the mode, like Block Fort. As it is, the mode seems like an afterthought, and that's a shame.
@NintendoFan64 Yeah, it was such a great mode in 64 and Double Dash but has gone downhill ever since. At least there are good alternatives in the two Sonic All-Star Racing games.
If we're going to have amiibo tourneys we need to be able to fight along side them. I'd love to go online with an amiibo and fight against someone else and their amiibo in a 2 vs 2 match. See which player-amiibo team is the best.
How about more love for the 3ds version?
Yay, 5's!
amiibo tournaments are needed, and I don;t even have the game.
Im still waiting to be able to play team battle with a friend online. And how about a choice other than 2 minute battles? The options are really sad for Smash online and it could be so much better
The ability to turn off equipment!
