Players can send customized fighters from one version to the other. Players can customize fighter's special attacks with one of three variations for each.

Up to three items can be equipped at a time, and some items provide additional side effects to the fighter.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/us/howto/entry2.html]</ref> Custom characters cannot be used in With Anyone online.
