    Ive been playing smash since 64, all the way up to now, and I was frankly quite good, by the time Wii U came around I had no one around who could compete, and while the online wasnt perfect, it was still responsive enough

    But this game? This game breaks my heart. I just want to play smash at a high level, but this horrid input delay and methods makes the game basically unplayable online. No longer is it about quick response time, no longer is it about out maneuvering your opponent. There is only one true tactic to this online dumpsterfire of a game: predicting the future. Its the only way. You have to hard read EVERYTHING, and even if you do,, theres a 90% chance you'll get a missed input because of a lag spike that failed to register your command. Ive never played a smash game this frustrating,,if youre gonna make it be online, make it playable, or else youll end off with former fans who just want to stop playing entirely because it simply doesn't feel good to play. The amount of free hits my opponent got because the shield doesn't pop up when I press the button is absurd. Fix your game, learn from these mistakes, please.

    The game offline is alright. I'm not here for stories though, I'm here for precise gameplay, which I didn't get.get    … Expand

    The roster is amazing for the most part, but overall it's not the best smash bros game. world of light is extremely boring and everyone wishes it was subspace. while the roster is impressively large yes it is also impressively unbalanced. Every character is either unplayable or broken.

    The game is fun, but at times the game can feel stiff and clunky, and the small starting roster made it hard to get into at the beginning, World Of Light felt linear and was disappointing.

    Smash ultimate is simultaneously the best Smash ever and that isn't all that grand.

    Look, most Nintendo games follow a common trend. Keep it simple, flood it with as many tedious/arbitrary side things to do, require very little time to master the basics, and slather it in as much nostalgia that it never rocks the boat. And Ultimate does that, but then I ask myself--what do you do beyond this?

    I mean, what else can you bring to Smash? Fluff like new stages or music? What kind of depth can you add? And that's the thing you really can't add any more, so you're left with a cold reality; this is the last Smash we will ever see. It will get a facelift in future releases some new tracks a few new faces, but that's it. We are going to get marketed the same thing over and over and over. And that is quintessential Nintendo.

    But couldn't it go in a different direction? Change the formula?

    If this were any other developer, sure, but foundational products that never rock the boat are Nintendo's philosophy it seems. They would NEVER take that risk because to do so would alienate the users which err on the familiar air of nostalgia rather than see an evolution of the product to keep it alive.

    So that's it, we've reached 'Peak Smash.' It's never going to be better than this, and you'll never see something different than it. So be happy?

    I am giving this a 5 because the online is some of the worst online I have ever since. It's somehow WORSE than brawl's online and guess what? We have to pay for it now! The online makes about 60% of the game, and right off the bat, it goes right down to a 5/10 for me. Even the local play between wireless communication between switches is atrocious! I had less lag and interruptions on smash 3ds! Unless you're planning to play this game strictly offline with buddies on the same system, you'll have a great time.

    The adventure mode is so bad, has filled me with so much hatred and malice, that it has marred the rest of the game for me. It's very rare that less content would have made a game better, but I feel insulted for being presented with such garbage and told that it's something to do.

    I want to start off by saying, yes this game does have nice graphics, a wealth of choice in regards to fighters, modes, stages and music. However there are some major issues I have with this game.

However there are some major issues I have with this game.

    • Game mechanic cheesing. The AI has not really improved much; in order to beat cheese, you need to cheese even harder. No strategy or skill required, just spam and cheese better than the AI can to win.

    • Some parts of Adventure mode on normal and definitely hard mode seem almost impossible due to the spammy nature of the CPUs - you need to use a much higher powered spirit to complete it without breaking your controller in anger.

    • There are some hitbox or collision issues where you might miss or not properly connect with the enemy or the environment. However the CPU seems to hit your sweet spot every time.

    • Critical chance.. never really liked this and it's worse than ever. A chance you'll knock someone into oblivion even if they're at low %... lost many fights due to this when I spend a good amount of time getting 150% plus damage onto a lvl 9 CPU enemy and they get a crit proc and destroy me when I'm on only at 50%.

    • Online mode is very limited. They removed the option to play against CPUs with your friends online. They also removed the ability to play couch co-op with a friend online and then join/create a game to play with friends online. Same issue with Quickplay, can't couch co-op on the same Switch, every player needs their own Switch... and yeah no dedicated servers, bleh.

    • Amiibos are still pretty useless. Can't play as them and can't use them for anything significant. Didn't get any rewards for leveling up my Figure Player and the only things I can do with it is have it fight CPUs in most of the options of Smash mode. There's no other modes to use it in. I would've liked to be able to use my Figure Players in a non-ranked, non-rewards, online mode to mess around with friends in. We can fight each other's FPs without having to go to someone's house and TAKE ALL MY AMIIBOS WITH ME! No seriously... they expect you to scan your Amiibo every time you want to use your Figure Player. That is absolutely ridiculous considering they expect you to use them for couch co-op. You really expect people to lug around a bag of amiibos just to play with them? Wtf?

    What I would have liked, is a much better, more in depth, RPG campaign system where I can use my amiibos more effectively. Maybe even earn Figure Players digitally through that campaign. Then take everything you've gained in this campaign to an online mode to play with your friends. Not talking about ranked or a mode where you get rewards. Just an online mode to have fun with your friends and show off what you've gained in single player campaign.

    An ok game and concept, a lot of work and effort went into it I'm sure. But I can only give it a 5/10 because it just really lacks the qualities that could've made it much better than it's predecessors. At this point, it's just one big mosh pit of different smash brothers games melted down into one, with some missing features and additional content.    … Expand

Then what ? its a normal boring fight. OR you will be pitted againts IMPOSSIBLE fights (and I mean it) where whatever you do, your only chance is to cheat and bug the AI and hope to be lucky. This is where Japan and their "no playtesting" policies hurted smash. Nobody would have liked that experience or they would have seen the frustration behind these impossible fights.

    MECHANICALLY the game is almost less than great. There is still a heavy floatiness to all characters that makes it very bad for a hardcore melee player (like me). Plus, there is a lag in the input and some information do not register (this is starting to spread as a fact, look it up). So your character will most of the time: not turn around and makes short hops impossible.
    Overall, this is not better than melee for me and am disapointed.
    But I'll be honest, the World of Light experience is ruining me and I am writing this review still in it. I long to be done with this sh*t and have this experience way past me so I can, maybe, simply melee with friends; hoping the fun will overwrite the gameplay lags..    … Expand

    In terms of content, the game is packed full of it. The roster is gigantic, and the value is incredible. You would be crazy to complain about these features, but as a competitor, the game has been a profound disappointment.

    Mechanically, it just doesn't feel as good as its predecessors. It's certainly faster-paced than the previous couple of entries, but that's it--the high input latency and the ludicrous buffer coupled with the worst online system in modern AAA gaming all amount to a deeply unsatisfying experience. Mobility feels clunkier than at any other point in the series, which is a real issue for a game in which mobility was so crucial and interesting.

    The big single player attraction, "World of Light," is also a disappointment. It's perhaps the least fun single player mode in Smash history.

    In a vacuum, Ultimate is a triumph of scale. It's big and bright and colorful, and people won't get tired of the ever-growing roster for a good while. But when examined closely, part for part, I just don't think it's going to be the Smash game people remember down the line.    … Expand

Game was promised to have substantial single player and great online. Online is broken many times, has a poor netcode and frustrating matching formulas and "scoring" system. Check out Zero's rant on the online for more info. So, leaving us with single player...World of Light kind of sucks. Some matches early on are really cool, but the mode becomes bloated with SAME and a spirits system that sort of makes many matches pointless. I gave it a five because the gameplay is solid and has great depth, but the online and single player modes drop it down just as much. Graphically this game is fine, a little drab most times, sometimes kinda pretty or kinda ugly. Character animations are fantastic.

I woke after i dropped my switch and switched from kirby to marth. After switching i attempted a level where the ground was on fire. i was on normal difficulty mind you. it took me around 40 min to clear the stage which was extremely frustrating as this is still early in the spirit world. i lowered the difficulty again after clearing it to run into stage timers and such while the only goal of me playing was to unlock a character i enjoyed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game looks good, the controls are great and there is plenty to do offline.

    Now for the bad:

    I bought the game for the multi-player like most users. Unfortunately, the switch has no concept of a party of friends. So users cannot queue up for a quick match with friends, and users cannot talk to friends through any means provided by Nintendo.

    SSBU comes with the ability to provide online preferences for matches, but this is just a priority check. It does not actually restrict these preferences. That's similar to playing an FPS, joining a queue to play only death match but being put in a capture the flag match.

    Since Nintendo is charging us money to access online play, I expect dedicated servers. There are too many cons related peer hosted matches. Additionally, if a game is unreasonably laggy, users have no way to leave the game other than closing SSBU.

    There is no concept of "elo" in Quick matches...so expert level players will be queued against newbs.

    From a product development perspective there were plenty of lower priority features that were implemented instead. E.g a really long credits scene after every "Classic" mode completed. Or a random appearance of a new character in the form of a challenge.

    The last game I can remember to have this much first week online missteps was Rainbow Six Siege. A few weeks after the release of RSS the game was 50% off. It was near death sentence for that game, and it barely recovered. This is not much better but because it is a Nintendo flagship game it will survive.

    In conclusion, the online play is sub-par for one of the OGs in gaming. I do not think this game should have been released with the current online features/issues.    … Expand

    Its a good game, feels fluent and looks good.

    Some world of light stages are straight up unfair and hard mode is somewhat lazily done (By my standards. They do more Damage, you do less) but other than that its fun to fight gimmick fights and bosses.

    Music is great.

    Haven't touched online competitive play yet, but i heard its messed up because of the new matching system they invented.

    Esta bastante bien, pero mas bien para jugarlo con amigos, los demas modos de juego estan para pasar el rato mas bien, para aprender los controles y eso, un poco aburrida la historia, lo que llevo por el momento no ha sido nada del otro mundo.

    its fun with friends but the online is horrendous, rivals of aether is a much better game. if you need a platform fighter there are better options out there.

    EDIT: Input lag is terrible making the game feel very very different. Honestly kills a lot of the fun for me. Knocked the rating down to a 7.

    Now don't get me wrong this is a great game! Its mechanics amount of spirits and amount of fighters are massive and not to mention the great soundtracks.

    Now don't get me wrong this is a great game! Its mechanics amount of spirits and amount of fighters are massive and not to mention the great soundtracks. However, I gave this game an 8 and not a 10 because the story mode is repetitive and spirits are only fun to get if you know the game they are from. The game, in general, is lacking an objective to achieve which overall makes me lose interest in it. However, that said these issues can be overlooked and you can still have a great time playing with friends and playing online!    … Expand

    It’s not just a great fighting game and a perfect party title, uncommonly enjoyable and absurdly rich in content that should suffice for literally years of fun. It’s also an amazing homage to the history of video games. [02/2019, p.60]

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate escalates everything the series was known for, and delivers it flawlessly. Biggest fighter rooster ever, more dynamic gameplay, loads and loads of gameplay modes, stages, weapons, music, stuff! If there is a smash that deserves your cash, this is the one!
