At first, in the e3 presentation of 2018 I thought to myself, “dang, this game is probably gonna be pretty hard for newcomers to pick up” but that was just me being stupid, ok? You start out with the original 8 characters from super smash bros on the n64, and if you play a lot of classic mode, then you’ll unlock all the characters pretty quickly. I set out to clear classic mode with every character, and I found that whenever you beat classic mode for the first time with a character, you unlock a new one. Speaking of new characters, HOLY MOLY they put in almost every highly requested character. Ridley, king k rool, banjo kazooie, Minecraft Steve. And with the mii costumes, we got sans and cuphead. This game isn’t a life changing experience, but it is a doorway to hundreds of hours of fun.    … Expand

    First of all, the game is pretty fun if you play with items and/or don't take it seriously since it tries to aim to become a less complex and competitive fighting game, by lowering down the skill requirement for the player to actually be decent at the game by making allot of moves safe and spammable, letting players mash out of combos easily since almost every character has fast aerials and because they reduced the hitstun making it very hard to punish people who mash out of combos. Many players just spot dodge after they miss a strong attack like a smash attack and you have to mostly respect their misses since the game leaves almost no time to punish, the game should follow the high risk high reward and not just low risk high reward since so many people throw out moves but you have to respect so many moves or risk getting punished whenever you try to punish them after they whiff. The online is just terrible, people can rage quit and you gain no gsp even though they left, there is allot of lag and players who abuse it, you cant mute winning taunts which some people use to be toxic whenever they win and sometimes when a player loses connection you get banned for supposedly disconnecting from the match. Allot of characters have gimmicky moves like Luigi for example: his whole play style revolves around him spamming his tether grab that you have to dodge almost instantly or else you will probably get 0 to death by a decent Luigi and the balancing is not as bad as the other smash games but its below decent since some characters clearly dominate over other like Pikachu and some are just terrible characters with awful design like Little Mac. Honestly if you want to buy this game for fun then go ahead but if you actually want to get good and play it competitively, then I would not recommend. I wanted to add this review again because first of all, deleting and banning a person for giving a bad review to an overrated game is just unprofessional and because I liked playing smash 4, brawl and melee but I personally believe that ultimate is just allot more frustrating and just a competitively worse game (except brawl, but at least that game was personally more fun than ultimate).    … Expand

    Straight-up, I've had more fun in any past Smash Bros. game compared to this one, including Brawl.

    On a casual level, it's likely the same thing you've played before, but repackaged with more on the roster, so that audience is instantly dealt with. On a competitive level though, gameplay revolves around the same defensive crap as before. On the other hand, offense can be ridiculous, especially with characters that're already fast, which forces you to camp like hell to even do good against 'em. The whole dodge penalty doesn't do ****. Lag in general is nonexistent, therefore it's usually impossible to punish anything. Grabs (except tethers) have been castrated. Character playstyles can be described in a short sentence or less. Calling this game balanced is like saying Americans have a healthy diet. This game is more anti-competitive than Brawl and just 'cause everything is "faster" ain't gonna change that.

    The balancing is a whole other thing. I'd understand balancing ~100 characters is too much, but that's Sakurai's fault. It doesn't help that a lot of 'em are annoying as all hell with the newcomers being prime examples. There's an easy solution I call "Roster Rotation". Basically, cut the roster to ~40, add in the latest predictably popular characters during a Smash Bros. game's development, maybe some old forgotten ones, and make changes to veterans based on their recent games (or their home series material if you're creative).

    Anyway, hitstun is worse than Brawl and the knockback doesn't help. It turns a match into a game of hit-and-run unless you play some obnoxious **** which there're a lot of in that game. Also, the controls are terrible and the retarded hold buffer just adds insult to injury.

    Now, allow me to rip Spirits apart. Spirits is the biggest piece of **** outta ANY mode in Smash Bros. history. People have **** on Smash Tour (including me) for whatever reason, but I've reevaluated my thoughts on it and think it could've been fun if it was developed more than it was.

    World of Light, is a tedious Events mode essentially featuring Brawl's Stickers. Spirits have no downsides other than power and type, so you just pick the strongest ones you got. Most Spirits are weaker than the high-ranked ones and are just there to waste space in the game's files. You even get the best Spirits in the game after beating World of Light although they have one of many useless traits. Until then, you just run around a JPEG map with chores scattered around it. Y'know, when you do look at those JPEG maps, they actually look interesting as stages akin to The Great Maze in SSE. The Mysterious Dimension is my favorite one. I'd take a few long, interesting, well-designed levels over the **** they actually made.

    Anyway, spare me the bull**** about "But this mode lets us fight characters that we'd never see in Smash Bros. in a million years!". At the end o' the day, your still fighting Mario, Link, or whoever's in the game. Everything else is barely related to the Spirit in question. "This one loves [neutral/up/side/down] specials!", "The floor is [lava/electrical/frozen/sleep-inducing]!", "This one has no reason to exist other than to waste your time!", etc. And you can miss me like Neo from The Matrix with calling it a story. You can literally sum that **** up with "Gotta free the Spirits! Oh, and balance the light and dark stuff!". The retards calling it a story are the same people who would be callin' Steven Universe a flawless diamond. There's, like, 5 cutscenes compared to Subspace Emissary's +101. The first cutscene is what most people have their mouth agape over. The bosses are the only redeeming thing, but **** you if you thought there was a Boss Battles mode anywhere to be found. Thank god this wasn't what Sakurai went with in Brawl.

    I could go on about this mode specifically, but this review is already long. I tried to have some kinda fun with 'em before, but that wears out very quickly with how broken they are on top of the gameplay and characters. At least with Smash Bros. 4's Character Customization, it had custom moves and the Equipment was way more balanced compared to Spirits.

    The other modes ain't worth bringin' up 'cause they're the same stuff you already played and got bored with.

    One more thing is online. With everything I said about the gameplay in mind, imagine how that would go down on an asswipe of a "service". I don't give a damn if it was a nickel, this **** should've been free 'cause that's it's true value if even that. Nintendo loves to put on the facade of caring, but they couldn't care less. Yet, their zombie fanbase will be mindless martyrs for 'em, so they'll be alright, won't they? To sum up Ultimate's online (and offline): A breeding ground for toxic jackasses which the game's mechanics promote.

    There really ain't much goin' for this one. I'd easily go back to any other Smash Bros. game over Ultimate any day.    … Expand

    My issue with the online capabilities. Every other console and my PC I have works fantastic with my internet, both on Wifi and using ethernet. The game is laggy and disconnects frequently, almost evert game. All of Nintendo's (admittedly great) games are fantastic, but with Nintendo's god-awful online service games are unplayable in COVID. I can't exactly go to my friend's and play at the moment, which makes Nintendo's use of an almost 20 year old online service software abundantly clear. They've said they are going to change to a new online service, but its been months and a time estimate has never been given, and I suspect by the end of 2021 we won't see any progress. Even Melee, a 20 year old game, has an online system far superior, which was made by modders. It's just sad.

    It's just disappointing to see such great game developers to be continually let down by a company that cares nothing for the people who get their products. I truly love this game, and if it's improved I will be more than happy to come back and leave it a better review.    … Expand

    I'm still not hooked on the game, but there's no denying that this game is very big and very well-executed. There are just so many ways to play the game, and there's so much to discover. The difficulty can be set very low. And although a victory isn't very satisfying then it allows you to discover what your character can do. Classic mode automatically ups the difficulty if you win too easily.

    Multiplayer I've mainly done locally. It's fun even if you lose. There's a lot of options to setup tournaments.

    Is the Switch installment of Smash really the Ultimate one? Not really. First off, unless you have other people to play with, this game is worthless.

First off, unless you have other people to play with, this game is worthless. The multiplayer is amazing, with more stages to pick from than any previous game, as well as the ability to have up to 8 players and select Battlefield and Flat variants of every stage.

    First off, the single player is bad. The multiplayer is where you're going to get your money's worth, up until the next one comes out (which it will, Nintendo isn't going to end a popular franchise, no matter what subtitle it has). World of Light lacks platforming stages and is a bunch of gimmick fights. Classic mode keeps changing the difficulty instead of staying on the same one like the other games do. And I forget the other things because they're not as important.

    One huge positive is the variety of options, including plenty of languages to change into. Compared to the other games, you'll at least get something out of those.

    The problems begin when you replay matches and stages- you need to select characters and colors again every single time. You need to select the song (from a long list) every single time unless you want it randomized. You need to come up with rulesets and save them and remember which ones are which, and it's a hassle. The game is notoriously full of input lag. And there are so many characters, it might take a while to choose or even just find which character you want.

    Then there's the online mode. The online mode is terrible and certainly no For Glory from Smash 4. First off, it's 1-on-1 only, meaning you have to wait in a lobby instead of matches being instant. They got this right in the previous one, and now they change it to something much worse? And if you play in handheld mode and your Switch falls asleep, not waking it up will kick you out of the lobby and back to the start. You wait and wait, all to lose to someone who plays the game constantly and destroys you in an instant. The online input lag doesn't help either. It's so severe, it even changes the tier lists and allows slower, but more powerful characters to be better than they should. And I should stress, the Wii U's online was free! And the experience was better!

    And the character choices, don't get me started. There are too many third party characters, some from games exclusive or mainly played on consoles other than Nintendo. This is diluting the identity of Smash and making me less excited for new character announcements. And despite the endless discussions of which new character should be included on forums, this is how the hierarchy works: Creators > Investors > Japanese Fans > Everyone else. Chances are, the choices of you and your colleagues aren't making it in unless they're desperate to sell a new installment or a new season pass. Especially given how expensive new characters are, they aren't worth buying DLC for. You might get your choice once in a while, and usually when a new installment comes out.

    Overall, not a bad game on its own, but one that has soured me on the series.    … Expand

    Controls for the game are supreme. I use a GameCube controller, but a Pro Controller is also a good option. A,B,R,L,ZR and the right stick all function the same as they did as standard controllers in Melee.
    Controls can be easily customized just as they were in previous games.

    There's easily at least 3 time the amount of stages that Smash for Wii U contained. You can find stages from past games and newer stages from Ultimate.

    Certain fighters are improved upon as well. For example Ganondorf, Now uses a sword, extending his side smash range and power.

    World of light is also an amazing experience, especially if you're a lonely nerd without friends like me. The fights are fairly easy in WOL, but my only major complaint is length and the time it takes to unlock fighters.

    8 frame input lag in OFFLINE + removing defensive options like shield dropping and power shielding = Not a fun time.

    I have never seen a fighting game (if you can even call a game with 8 frame delay offline a fighting game) remove such a crucial defensive option before. Removing shield dropping and power shielding is like removing reflect from DBFZ, removing flawless block from MK11,    8 frame input lag in OFFLINE + removing defensive options like shield dropping and power shielding = Not a fun time.

    I have never seen a fighting game (if you can even call a game with 8 frame delay offline a fighting game) remove such a crucial defensive option before. Removing shield dropping and power shielding is like removing reflect from DBFZ, removing flawless block from MK11, removing parrying from SFV, or removing BURST from Guilty Gear. You just can't do that. How are you meant to deal with characters mindlessly spamming up tilts from the platform below? Here's the answer: you don't, just jump to ANOTHER platform and hope they don't keep sharking you. Alright, how about zoners, shouldn't parrying make up for the lack of being able to reflect projectiles? Nope, it actually NERFS everyone without a reflector by giving no real option to approach than to get a stock lead and camp the zoner out instead. On top of that, the online, bare minimum, adds 4 more frames of delay on top of that on delay based netcode. Last, but not least, the meta is the most stagnant meta i've ever seen in any game besides Modern Warfare. Ever since Joker released, the meta has not shifted at all with the developers outright refusing to nerf aspects of the top tiers and instead opt to buff the low tiers in ways that don't even benefit them. As an example, they buffed Captain Falcon's side-b attack to have super armor when the move wasn't even being used, and not just because it was easy to beat out. Even after the buff it still wasn't used and they still refuse to change his ATROCIOUS backdash animation which is bottom 5 in the game. You know what they buffed instead? Palutena's up tilt and BARELY nerfed her base kit, which didn't even move her anywhere on the tier list. Combos are barely even a thing in this game too, with neutral air dodge being extremely fast and having a load of invincibility frames too, not to mention you get it back as soon as you get hit. So even if you read the DI, read the double jump, AND read a bad air dodge, as soon as you hit them again they can just spam air dodge again. Landing hits are barely rewarding at all too since 80% of the cast has insane recoveries anyway, they either surround the character in a massive hitbox that only loses to disjoints, they can recover from the very bottom from the screen without being contested, or they're able to mix it up between multiple options (think Brawl Meta Knight). On the flip side, if they jump off ledge and regrab it they lose invincibility, so you can get a free spike/punish for them doing that. The only problem with that is that they REGAIN THEIR INVINCIBILITY after being hit, so there's no risk for picking the wrong option at the ledge.

    TL;DR
    Removed defensive options that we're in past games for no reason
    8 frame input lag in offline + 4 online minimum
    Has had the same meta for 3 years and counting
    Combos aren't rewarding and aren't worth the effort unless it's a TRUE combo (which is likely just 3 hits max)
    Losing neutral isn't punishing

    The only reason I would EVER recommend this game to anyone is if you just plan to play it casually with 3 other friends every now and then. This game is one of the least competitive games i've ever played. Melee is LITERALLY FREE nowadays with ROLLBACK netcode to boot, just play that instead.    … Expand

So fanboys can be fanboys anyway.

    I grew up with Smash 64, then Melee and Brawl (skipped the one on Wii U).

    There was always a possibility to have fun and compete with several lvl 9 CPU without looking it unfair. But in Ultimate, it's exactly the opposite.

    Although I had fun in the Classic mode, the Adventure mode is pure trash (not talking about comparing with Subspace or anything). Outside the fact that there is no story, no cinematic or stuff like in Brawl, there is also no fun to just have constant battle against random CPU to save Spirits that most of the time won't give you any bonuses (so why the **** would you save them ?). And the **** loading screens all the time, even if they are 3 seconds ! Surely they could have found a way to make it faster because it just makes everything feels slow.

    I think also it's such a cheap way to add ''challenge'' in fights in Adventure mode to put stuff like ''floor is lava'', ''bombs everywhere that kills you because the 3 others CPUs are constantly throwing them at you'' or ''Sonic giving you 25HP hits in stamina mode where you deal only 4HP damages with smash attacks''. Like, what the **** happened with the devs ? Where in their mind did they actually thought this could be a fun challenge ? It is not. It's lame because it's not like we had an AI system that was not working in the previous game, so why changing it to make it frustratingly hard ?

    I played for 2h of the World of Garbage Light and decided to quit because I had enough. It is purely sad since I played hundreds of hours with the previous games, and here I think I'll just go with the classic and solo fights. I could do the Adventure mode in Melee 25 times without being bored, doing the Subspace many times either, but **** World of Light, seriously. But I am happy for you if you have fun with it, since I don't.

    The controls and hitboxes are honestly not that good, and someone in the reviews (IFeelScammed) pointed something really important : you seem to miss your opponent a lot when you fight, whereas they seem to always hit you perfectly, even on LVL5. That's what I call unfair challenge. I don't see the point of playing a fighting game where the only thing you have to do is purely to ''smash'' your controller until you beat your opponent. Even if it's an arcade-like game, it doesn't mean it has to be clunky and superficial. You also don't have a lot of flow-opportunity when you fight, since some fighters are clearly slow and not fluid in their attacks/combos possibilities.

    I am also not really found of playing with items and Ultimate seems to constantly play on that (World of Light).

    So this game can be quite fun for sure, but the adventure mode is a lazy way to add content to the game, I don't give a **** about spirits and assist stuff, they are there to just balance the fact that the challenges are unfair. That's cheap.

    I didn't talk about the online mode because I haven't (and won't) try it because I know Nintendo don't care about making a good online mode for any of their games (except, strangely, MK Wii lol).

    So there you go, **** the critics that gives Nintendo games 9-10/10 because they don't deserve it, they are lazy. What's the point of making a fighting game if you don't have fun fighting ?    … Expand

There are so many modes, Adventure and Spirit Board are new additions, while favorites like Classic Mode and Special Smash return with more options than ever. The AI is considerably better for us loners, while in Smash 4 the highest difficulty was the same fighting experience as fighting a dead person, in this installment there can be at least some challenge found at the higher settings.

    This game online really is an insult. It's so bad, but so bad that Nintendo, Bandai and every single responsible for this should be ashamed.

    Toxic community that's hyper competitive. Kills the game for anyone looking to just have some casual fun with a game series they once loved. The competitive scene is killing this franchise with its toxicity. Want to play a game for some light fun? Look else where.

One thing that I'm pretty sad about is that nintendo does not support competitive smash like other companies do for their games. The tournaments that Nintendo organize are mostly casual tournaments.(meaning items on, smash meter, all stages...) For those who don't get it, in competitive smash, we try to limit the luck factor in a match. And some stages are so big that a character with good mobility could get the lead and run away for the rest of the match. Witch is really boring so that's why we have stages called legal stages. But none the less, Smash ultimate remains one of my favourite games of all time.… Expand

    Ultimate could be an amazing game. It has so many characters, modes and beautiful soundtrack but the really failed the gameplay with this one. I've honestly never played anything so unbalanced like smash bros ultimate and i've been there when fortnite season x came out. You can have fun when you play local with some friends but it's impossible to have fun online.

    After 23 hours 52 min. 23 sec. I finished the story mode World of Light 100% on the difficulty level normal. I really have to say the scope blew me away, there were just an incredible number of fights. I also have to throw my concerns about the Spirit mechanics overboard because I really enjoyed the whole system. Whether it is to collect individual cards to upgrade or to use them correctly, strong thing.

    The map layout and the many great references to other games were terrific for nostalgic moments and also brought a lot of variety, be it puzzles or getting ahead with means of transport. The music always does the rest, great!

    I hardly have any criticisms of the adventure mode, only more cutscenes could have been there and I missed a teleport function at the beginning in the individual dungeons.

    -------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------

    If I'm going to rate the rest of the game, I have to say that I really enjoy Smash Brothers Ultimate .... OFFLINE. Unfortunately, the game has been severely cut in online mode. Modes such as Squad Smash, which I think is awesome, is completely missing online. In addition, there are always problems with laggs or initially problems with your own chosen preferences when searching for players (which has now been largely fixed, almost only comes in my chosen 1vs1 without items or ultimates). But if everything works it is of course wonderful and is also a lot of fun online. I just hope that the missing offline modes will simply be integrated into online mode. With regard to the cumbersome menu navigation (e.g. no messages, no clever Party Invite System, etc.) one cannot criticize Smash, since it already starts here at Nintendo, whose online system, as has been criticized enough, is simply not up to date.

    The roster is of course top notch and I don't really miss any character, which makes me look forward to the DLC because I can only be surprised. There are still some modes, characters that I haven't played yet, you just get a lot of content here. Classic mode, All Star Smash or the ghost mode, in which you play against selected ghost cards in order to unlock them, are all a lot of fun.

    Conclusion

    Overall, Smash is a great overall package and a wonderful game, a must-buy for Switch owners. A few more fixes in the connectivity and expansion of the online content and I'm completely satisfied, 9/10 helper trophies by then.    … Expand

    Best SMASH Game of the world

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am here to declare that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the ULTIMATE Smash! There you go, done. Case closed, have a good night…

    Alright, in all seriousness now, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a really good fighting game. It is also officially the best entry in the series (IMO), but most importantly it is a celebration of the series itself, and of Nintendo, and of video games as a whole to some extent.

    First of all, let’s begin with the main 'Smash' mode, described as "a great place to get started." Definitely true. You start off with the original N64 cast of fighters and the more you play this mode, the faster new challengers will approach gradually. There are several more ways to unlock all the fighters of course, but simply playing Smash battles many times may be the fastest way to reach that goal. There are 3 styles of battles: Time, Stock, and Stamina. All stages now have a Battlefield and Omega (Ω) form. There is also a feature that allows you to choose your music track right before you begin fighting. Special Smash comes with 1 new mode, Smashdown. Essentially, you fight through the entire roster until evey fighter has been played with at least once; It’s really great. And there's also a new mode called Squad Strike, which plays just like normal Smash, but with a twist; there are special formats to choose from: Tag Team, Elimination, and Best of.

    Secondly, the Games & More mode. Classic Mode returns and it’s better than ever. Now each fighter has their own assigned routes with thematic titles. For example, Mario’s route is called "Let’s-a Go!" His route is kinda based on his journey in "Super Mario Odyssey" where he travels around the world across various kingdoms, and ultimately has to fight Bowser (and Giga Bowser). I have a few personal favourite routes including Mario’s: Zelda – Wisdom Prevails; Sonic – At the Speed of Sound; Rosalina – One Star after Another; and Simon – Smash-vania. On the one "Master" hand, we have a fresh new take on this mode, and a really good one at that. On the other "Crazy" hand, we get an inferior bonus game, no Target Smash, and no more ending videos for each fighter after the credits roll. But still, Classic Mode looks and feels more engaging this time around with the fighters all having different paths to follow and bosses to conquer. And FYI, you’ll be fighting against Master Hand and/or Crazy Hand with most fighters. Mutli-Man (or Mob) Smash returns, as well as the Mii Fighter creation and amiibo feature from Smash 4.

    Thirdly, the Vault mode, which contains various features and functions. You'll find menus for Sounds, Replays, Challenges, and much more.

    Fourthly, the 'Online' mode, which I can’t and won’t talk about, because I don’t have an Nintendo online membership (sorry about that).

    And last but not least, the Spirits mode. As the biggest brand new feature in this game, the spirits in this game serve as a replacement to both the collectible trophies, which were a staple since Melee (sadly gone), and the stat-mod stickers from Brawl. Spirits have a stronger RPG element here than the stickers way back in Brawl’s Subspace Emissary. Inside this mode lies Spirit Board, the Collection room, and the all-new Adventure mode: World of Light. The whole adventure is great! But honestly, it could’ve been so much better in several ways than what is on offer. For instance, no platforming levels (except for 1), no beat 'em up moments, and hardly any cutscenes amongst a few other stuff. In reality, World of Light is a game of spirit battles spread all over 3 giant realms (or maps). The spirits must be saved by defeating their puppet fighter hosts. The 1st realm is ruled by Galeem, the 2nd one is ruled by Dharkon, and in the 3rd one you must vanquish them both together for the true ending. And before the true final battle you'll have to play as Master Hand himself and man that is awesome! I have enjoyed playing through this adventure. The whole journey feels like a rollercoaster of fan service, in a good way. Going through different video game worlds, discovering so many references, and saving all spirits and the corrupted fighters. Sadly there isn’t any storyline to get invested into, it’s all about liberating the spirits and taking down the overlords. It may not be the most satisfying story for everyone, but for Nintendo players and fans it's a wonderful joyride.

    With over 70 fighters, over 100 stages, and over 800 music tracks, Smash Ultimate is packed to the brim with content and the developers are still working to deliver more updates in the future. It is by no means a perfect game, but it’s still a solid game in its own right. The gameplay is fast and fluid, the menus feel good to navigate through, and the overall presentation of the game is glorious. My final verdict: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a fun game. Aw Yeah!

    Thank you Masahiro Sakurai and team, and Nintendo. Smash Forever!    … Expand

There have never been so much music, fighters, and stages. There is also a lot of single player content with world of light, classic mode, and other mini games.

    The adventure mode isn't my favorite and it lacks trophies, but in the end, those are minor gripes. Smash Ultimate is a fighter, and as a fighter it has everything you could want where it counts: every character from past smash games return, whilst many new ones make their debut, stage selection is immense meanwhile the balanced feel of smash 4 is still there.
