Reddit user Gluetendo discovers a way to control 8Smash Bros.characters from one controller, allowing players to remove the CPU from their game entirely.
Since the arrival ofSuper Smash Bros.for Wii U, Nintendo fans have been able to fight it out with up to 7 of their friends in the game’s new 8-player Smash. Now, though, a new glitch has made it possible to remove the need for other players, allowing one person to control all 8 characters at once. The video below shows the function in action.

Reddit userGluetendodiscovered the glitch several days ago and soon shared it with theSmash Bros.community. The glitch requires the player have at least 1 amiibo that is compatible with the game, but to control 8 characters they will need 8 total. Smash fans should be sure to give it a try for themselves as Nintendo may choose to remove the function in February’s patch (or if the game evercomes to the upcoming NX console).
The process of replicating the glitch is detailed below.
Super Smash Bros.has seen a lot of attention recently, with the finalSmashDirect announcing the news thatBayonetta and Corrin will be comingto the game next month. The direct also saw the release ofFinal Fantasy VIIprotagonist Cloud Strife, who was an unexpected but welcome addition to theSmash Bros.roster.
Despite some of the more vocal fans complaining about the choice of characters thatSmash Bros.Director Masahiro Sakurai is adding to the game, the majority of players are just happy that the much-loved fighting game is receiving DLC content at all; they don’t malign the game or its creators.
That isn’t to say the developers aren’t without their own struggles with fans. For example,Sakurai likened himself toStar Warscreator George Lucasin the oftentimes vitriolic fan responses he receives.
Super Smash Bros.is out now for Wii U and 3DS.
