Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is the fifth installment of the Super Smash Bros. series. It was released in late 2014, a few months after the release of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, which was released a few months earlier. Because the games were developed simultaneously, therefore often pairing them together, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is also considered to be the fourth installment.

Customization
Returning from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is the ability for players to customize their fighters, adding various equipment such as badges and the like as well as changing their special moves (the custom parts must be collected through gameplay, as they are not available at the start, and most appear at random, with few exceptions that are awarded for completing certain challenges), and this includes Fox and Falco. Below are their custom special moves.
