LAN Battles

LAN Battles

Lan Battling is a hidden mode within the Local battling Mode that doesn't require one player to play on a Wii U Pad and another using a Controller and TV, and it also prevents the Frame Rate Speed from being halved. This is usually used in Competitive Competitions, where even frame is crucial.

Essentially, in order to properly activate LAN Battles you must have two Wii Us connected in one of three ways. After you have done one of three ways of connection, you must hold the L Button, R Botton, Down Button, and click the Start Button on the Title Menu in order to activate a LAN Battle.
