    The amount of content is also really, really huge, tons and tons of characters with classic modes for each one of them, the adventure mode, spirits, 104 escenarios, a huge amount of pokemons, assists, objects, etc, etc.

    It is a must have, and the best Smash since Melee.

    An incredible addition to the series with much needed fixes and additions. Only thing weighing it down is the boring single player content and poor online performance.

    Very disappointed how not much New was brought to the table. Even the new characters were underwhelming. Not cool how you can’t use all the characters in coop mode.

Super Smash Bros has been one of my all time favourite series since the N64 days and I can proudly say that this one is the best in the series. Everything is here, the combat feels like melee (if not, better), 70+ fighters and everyone I have used so far feels so unique and fun to play.

    On top of all that, there are so many modes to play and you could sit on it for hours with the biggest smile on your face. I know from experience.
    I am so happy. Buy this game and love it to death. Is it safe to say Nintendo are owning the gaming industry right now?
    Thank you, Sakurai for this god tier creation.

    Well, I have very hype to this game and the game are good, very good, but the Adventure mode are not like Subemisary in Brawl and online are awful (we are paying to play online, I don't know why every Nintendo game goes soooo bad online). I really miss another modes like Home Run Contest or Thropy. The new stiker mode I really don't like it.

No solo son números puestos al azar, cada cosa agregada cuenta con gran cantidad de detalles, Los escenarios, la música, los personajes, todo es simplemente perfecto.

    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'd honestly rather slice my arm open than be forced to subject myself to such an onslaught of garbage.

    The rest of the game is great, of course. It's Smash, it's formulaic at this point and this game hasn't really done anything *new,* exactly, but it's a fun fighter.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is really disappointing. When it was first announced, I felt it would be one of the best 2018 games. However, when I saw it at the E3, it let me down.

    The new fighters, like Daisy, Isabelle and Chrom, are nothing interesting with the exception of King K. Rool, Inkling and Ridley. No new 3rd-party characters neither, which is why there's a huge fandom of this

    The new fighters, like Daisy, Isabelle and Chrom, are nothing interesting with the exception of King K. Rool, Inkling and Ridley. No new 3rd-party characters neither, which is why there's a huge fandom of this series and, anyway, their requests are not taken in account.

    My most disliked announcement was the new Assist Trophies. People felt disappointed when Waluigi was an AT once again. In my case, I really felt depressed when I saw Bomberman was one too. I mean, really? An Assist Trophy? Since the announcement of Super Bomberman R as a launch title for the Switch, both Smash and Bomberman fans determined it was time to include him as a playable fighter in the next Smash, not something else. Even notable personalities and brands agreed with it. There are a lot of reasons of why he deserves it much more than the current 3rd-party characters such as Wario Blast!, the series in every Nintendo platform, the Mario Party series developed by Hudson Soft, etc. Is this a joke? Even though both Bomberman and Hudson Soft had a long relationship with Nintendo, they just gave him mere respect.

    Going on with the Assist Trophies, this feature really ruined more 3rd-party characters. Later, they announced Ashley, Isaac, Knuckles, Krystal, Shadow, Shovel Knight, Starfy and Zero as AT's as well, despite being requested by fans too. What? Why the overuse of this Assist Trophy thing? I thought Smash accepted relevant characters like those as fighters but no, looks like in a very different way.

Spirit mode also has a loading icon that looks like a YouTube video loading and it seems that they went quantity over quality when designing the spirits which often have strange colors that neither seem to fit in a theme or be the characters' original colors. But as I said; it's an amazing game at its core, just wish they had worked more on the story modes or simplified them to deliver the ultra polished game that you'd expect from a game like this and which I feel comparable games such as Breath of the Wild and Odyssey managed to do.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As much as I love this series I am unable to give this game a higher score, it was advertised as the ultimate smash bros game, sure it has more content but it's all stuff we have already seen and the small amount of real new content is... small, lacking... the game feels like a mod, a stupid plant is a playable character, we got yet another Fire Emblem character and a pokémon not many people wanted, the game been too fast is actually a downside in my opinion, why are we back to unlocking characters in a tedious fashion? and why do we only get like 8 at the start of the game? Where's home run contest? Where's target test/smash? Why is it so hard for some attacks to hit? I hate this game's hitboxes, the joycons are a terrible controller for this game, DLC got announced before the game was even out, World Of Light is super repetitive and has a weird difficulty, where's master orders btw? Why fid they make Bomberman, Krystal and Shovel Knight Assist Thropies? A lot of people wanted THEM as playable characters, including me, c'mon Nintendo, wth? Echo fighters are a joke, the combat isn't as good and lacks variety due to the game been toi fast, most melee stages are as ugly and ilegal as I remember them, they brought back pacland but left pac-maze out, there are too many Mario stages, there's like... 10? The CPUs all do the same, I was expecting to see some love for Xenoblade X but nope, Uncontrollable and Black tar are not in the game a new Xeno character would have been nice too (cough, Rex, cough, Elma)
    Joker as a DLC doesn't make much sense and I hope the next reveals aren't as "unexpected", I think they didn't buff the Miis, they all as slow as always, scaping combos is hit-or-miss

    The only things that lowered my rating from 10 to 9 are the online connection issues and some little details that are a bit annoying, such as being kicked out of the arena when changing you preferred stage for the next fight or not beeing able to use the touchscreen in a menu.

    Fighting games these days are the biggest cash cows as most of them are polluted by scummy DLC practices, little content and small rosters. Thankfully Smash Bros Ultimate doesn't follow that path and shows how a complete game should be.

    It has a roster of 70 characters (I think it's the biggest roster ever in a Smash Bros game), tons of collectibles as well as a single player mode that lasts around 15-20 hours. I also heavily admire the fact that unlike every other fighting game, this one doesn't just throw the whole roster in your face from the very beggining. You start off with just 8 character and from there you can ulock the rest by playing through the story mode. It's a key feature for me because it actually makes you feel rewarded for playing the game, something that many developers do not understand today.

    The only criticism I have for Smash Bros Ultimate is about the roster. I don't want to be ungrateful towards the number of characters we get to play, but seeing 3 different variations of Mario, Samus and Link taking away slots is annoying and unfair. I'd take Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 over 1 of those variations any day.. Octopath Traveler, TWEWY, Golden Sun, all those games could've had a playable character (NOT assist trophy) but no... Instead we get Link, toon link, young Link and fat Link. I also think there are characters who should have been skins or assist trophies instead of actual playable characters.

    The game is great and worth your money, but I'll take away 2 points just for the fact that some franchises got left out for the sake of getting Mario and Zelda duplicates.

    the different modes are nice
    world of light has for what it is a good ammount of variety in the battles, so look at this as event matches, cuz that is what it is.
    i also need to say that the game seems rly hard at times, i have a friend who ragequitted twice already. i myself can say that some battles tear you apart,
    bossfights are also swell and have some difficulty, and well some of them will destroy you to the moon and back if you dont expect it or fight them for the first time, sometimes they can get you rly cheap but okay

    now a little problem i got with the game is well mode variety could be a bit wider,
    classic mode offers a 2 section but thats one section and its always the same,
    no smash the target, no homerun contest ( not that i care about homerun... i rly dont)
    the story mode is not offering alot of story but i guess again its a gloryfied event mode

    some of the spirit battles will make you scream because of how unfair they seem or well... are.. just saying the mario super star event is rly making me mad
    unlocking characters per world of light is nice, per classic rly random, and otherwise random aswell so yeah, you cant rly work for it exactly as you want

    The Best Fighting Game Of All Time
    Super Smash Bros Ultimate is the ultimate crossover event in history with over 74 iconic Nintendo characters. This is the most dumb fun I've ever had on the release day of a game. Vast customization for every aspect of the game is what makes Ultimate above every other fighting title.

    For this review, it’s going to be mostly just be showing simple matches that would not spoil the game, this game is massive, probably one of the only games many people will buy this year alone.
    For this reason, I just want to review the game itself and not spoil the game for anyone.

    For this review, it’s going to be mostly just be showing simple matches that would not spoil the game, this game is massive, probably one of the only games many people will buy this year alone.
    For this reason, I just want to review the game itself and not spoil the game for anyone.
    As always, I will be reviewing this game with the five pillars of gaming –

    Graphics, Gameplay, Sound, Story, and controls.

    Let’s begin with the story –

    So, this magical force has come to steal the souls away from all the smash fighters making them, “Spirits”

    These spirits will come into play later, but essentially the single player story mode is the player taking on and slowly taking back all these spirits in a climactic final battle with the bad guy.
    It’s extremely simple, but a good vessel to push a reason why you are fighting multiple of the same character, or an evil version of Mario, or how to get all these spirits without fighting the same battles over and over again.
    Small tweaks on the conditions of victory make it a nice story mode, but a basic one.
    Not why you bought Smash Bros. to begin with.
    Nintendo are all about those call backs though, and you’ll see that immediately when you begin playing the simple, yet extremely deep, smash battles that you can create.

    This is where the story will transfer into game play, where you can play 1 on 1 skirmish styled matches with any number of rules under the sun.
    From bombs being the only items to competitive level rules of final destination only no items, fox only.
    That is the beauty of this fighting game, you can take Nintendo’s original 8 fighters, and battle them to the death.

    Donkey fighting Pikachu because he thinks the yellow mouse is a banana, Mario beating up Yoshi for tax evasion, everyone is here.
    Everyone that you are willing to unlock that is.
    If you have never played Smash Bros. before, it works like this.
    The game usually begins with a limited set of Characters, requiring you to then complete certain challenges, battles, modes to then unlock the chance to battle these new characters to play with.
    But how does this game differ from other fighting games?
    Simple

    Instead of having an HP system in many fighting games, this has a percentage level, the higher it goes, the easier it is to be knocked out of the stage.
    Being knocked out of the stage counts as a loss, which would be something the player wants to avoid while actively attempting to defeat those around them.
    To accomplish this, you do what the game’s title implies, you smash…

    No, not that type of “Smash”, this isn’t Netflix and chill.

    Smash bros require you to battle it out for victory, first one to smash the opponent off the stage wins, put simply.

    With varying conditions like time and life stock, it’s a fairly simple concept, yet effective fun game play.
    This game is crisp, clean and a real treat –
    Graphics

    I have no tested this game for its frames, but it would be difficult to say that it is not smooth or nice to experience in any way.
    The frames never dropped on me, and felt like a constant 60 FPS, while retaining graphics that were even better than Smash Bros on the Wii U, and that was full HD smash as well.
    I honestly didn’t think it could get better, and yet, it did.
    The clean visuals mixed with a solid frame rate breathe beauty and refinement that a PC gamer would drool over.

    From the deep blacks, to the crisp Mario bright colors, it’s a real beauty.
    But the many series were done right, no series looks poorly done, all character models look rendered properly, the game series here all look and sound great.

    Speaking of the sound, those sound effects are all present, from the coin to Pac-man’s chomp, it’s all here. And the music is outstanding, every series sounds on point, if a bit better in my opinion.
    Classic songs make appearances along with their respective game series, with the ability to hear their songs while duking it out with these legendary series, it makes for a great feeling.
    Nostalgia is extremely strong with this music combined with the sound effects, really making this a joy to listen to while playing. You can control all aspects of sound and music in this game to your content.
    The Switch is no stranger to multiple control schemes, from the pro controller to the joy-cons, you can play this game your way. This game is accessible to almost anyone, with simple controls that are easy to master, these controls allow you to get batter if you desire to be the best, while retaining the simplicity of Smash. The combo’s you can do, the charge attacks, the special moves, all of them are very easy to learn and use with the given buttons on the controllers. Be it in handheld mode, to using the Joy-cons, the game works great for anyone new or well versed to the series. Anyone who has never played Smash bros, if you have a Switch, you need to buy this game and play it.

    Amazing game, with TONS of content. Over 100 stages, over 70 playable characters. Runs great (60fps) in both docked AND handheld, which is rare for any switch game but really impressive for a game of this caliber. A must-have for any switch owner.

    1 point taken away because the online mode (which I frankly don't really care about and won't be playing much) is terrible. It uses lock-step

    1 point taken away because the online mode (which I frankly don't really care about and won't be playing much) is terrible. It uses lock-step instead of having some kind of lag compensation, so if 1 person is on a slow connection, EVERYONE plays in slow motion. Also, there is no way to leave a match. If you are the first person eliminated, you are forced to sit there and watch everyone else finish the game.

    Smash Ultimate is the best smash version you can get. It includes over 70 characters and way too many stages... well of course not too many. I didn't like the idea that this game gives you all the stages free and you don't have to get them yourself, why? But still if you're smash fan like me or just a beginner this game will offer you hundreds of hours fun and SMASHING!
