Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will not bring back custom moves or have equippable items.
The news come way of a Nintendo representative, via GameSpot, during a recent hands-on event for the platform fighter.
As you may know, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS -- commonly referred to as Super Smash Bros. 4 -- introduced the feature of custom moves that allowed players to modify fighters and their specials. The feature wasn't an incredibly popular addition, but it was praised by a considerable amount of players at the time.
That said, it won't be returning in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. At the moment, why it won't be returning, hasn't been divulged.
In addition to canning custom moves, the newest entry in the series will not bring back equippable items that could be found in certain modes and that players could use to customize a fighter's stats. This was also introduced in Super Smash Bros. 4.
As you would expect, fans are rather mixed on the news. There are many who are disappointed, but also many relieved or unbothered.
I’m kinda mixed about this. I feel the custom moves had wasted potential, except for Mega Man, who actually had different moves referencing his games. I kinda wish every character had that, as hard as that would be.

Saw this coming. They were too much of a hassle, were radically unbalanced and/or phoned in, and were never used in any meaningful public tournaments after a certain point. Spirits are a much cooler version of Equipment, and Miis keeping custom moves makes sense.

would've hated to grind everything anyway.

Like, come on, first trophies, then 1p only story mode and now no custom moves...
I'm still happy that the Belmonts are in and a lot of stages tho, i'll just miss a lot the platforming of previous entries, i still have those.
I'll get the game much later now.
