    The best smash game by far. The characters are so unique, there is so much content for single player and multiplayer. So many characters and stages and options allowing customizability for your needs. The gameplay is simple yet engaging allowing for fun matchups. The online is the only thing is dragging it down, but other than that it's almost perfect.

    I love the adventure of light and I love collecting the spirits. with the recent update to online (smash's weakest point) it make it much less rage inducing. This is the most fun i've had play smash and 100% it. It has the best roster out of any fighting game and i recommend it to everyone

We can communicate with each other so we can know where the other players are on the map. The game really gives out the happiness in us, it’s just a game where we can chill and have a whole lot of fun!! Like I said before the gameplay is just mostly fighting, shooting, and defense. There is also a story mode for smash bros that you can play, the story mode is a fun one to play as well. With smash bros, there’s other games that is connected to it like super mario, brawl hala, minecraft (maybe), Pac Man (maybe), sonic (maybe), Splattoon (maybe). Lastly is the dislikes that we have, and that is NOTHING!! We have no dislikes for this game, its just a game with no dislikes for us. :))… Expand

    Smash Ultimate is the biggest Video Game crossover of all time. Fighters come from Zelda, Metroid, Xenoblade, Mario, FFIIV, Minecraft, Arms, Splatoon and more.

    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.

    This game is a must buy for Switch owners everywhere.    … Expand

    Historia: Modo de historia totalmente novedoso, encarnamos a kirby el cual tiene la misión de rescatar a todos los personajes de Nintendo en su versión oscura. No es el punto fuerte del juego, pero es un añadido bastante interesante para el juego offline.

    Gráficos: los gráficos son sobresalientes, los personajes y los escenarios están muy bien pulidos. Los escenarios poseen un dinamismo excepcional, variando el fondo a lo largo de la batalla con guiños icónicos de cada una de las sagas.

    Bando Sonora: de lo mejor que hay en el mercado, posee los mejores temas de cada una de las sagas, añadiendo epicidad a las batallas.

    Dificultad: la inteligencia artificial no presenta un gran reto para el jugador experimentado, pero si es un buen reto para los nuevos jugadores.

    Online: el punto fuerte del videojuego, aunque los servidores de Nintendo no están a la altura del resto de plataformas.

The character selection is immaculate, with anyone from Mario, to Sonic the Hedgehog, to Cloud Strife, to even a piranha plant. Every person I’ve played the game with has their own character. They all seem to have a special bond with that character, whether they’ve played the character’s home game, or even just like their moveset. The single player offerings are incredible in Smash Ultimate. I’ve seen a lot of people take a dump on the adventure mode, World of Light, but I think it’s amazing. So many tiny little references to hundreds of games, and really interesting strategy involved. Also, something I highly recommend is doing a World of Light Nuzlocke. If you lose a game with a character, you can no longer use them. I’ve beaten World of Light doing this twice, and plan to do it again soon. The online mode is my only small problem with this game. Occasionally, I have problems with an online opponent having a laggy connection, and the ranking system is a bit strange, but honestly I think the online mode is fairly well sculpted.

    The absolute pinnacle of fighting games. Huge roster, huge amount of customization available, great DLC and a must own game for any competitive gamer. Also great fun for casuals or parties.

    The name serves the game well. This truly is the ultimate smash bros! Although there are many fighters that could have been added such as Crash Bandicoot, Rayman or yes, Waluigi, there are already around 80 fighters, 100 stages and many modes that make this the best fighting game of all time!

    Easily the best game on the Switch ever campaign is fire and so are all of the other modes and I highly recommend buying the DLC.

    The Ultimate videogame experience.
    Super Smash Bros. is a fascinating franchise, what started as a fun party game transcended into something very special.
    Much like its predecessors, it's pure chaotic fun, be it single player or multiplayer, there's a crazy amount of content and customization. The character roster is insane, there are around 90 characters to choose from in total,    The Ultimate videogame experience.

    The character roster is insane, there are around 90 characters to choose from in total, which is perhaps the biggest roster in any game ever.

    The soundtrack is packed with some of the most iconic videogame music, from old school to modern, it's the most diverse soundtrack to date.

    An amalgamation of every single Super Smash Bros. game combined into one huge package, an entire videogame Museum that consists of some of the most popular and beloved videogame franchises in history. This game reminds me of my childhood in every single way, and I couldn't be more satisfied.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is insane.
    From the graphics to the soundtrack to the selection of the numerous fighters Sakurai decided to bring back, this game is a must-play for hardcore gamers. Also, the Adventure Mode is spectacular. It's completely underrated and needs to be acknowledged more.
    Simply put, my brothers and I LOVE this game to death and I hope this concludes the "Super Smash Bros" series, especially because it's the "ultimate" game, as well as that final scene with Mario and Sora shaking hands. If that's not a superb way to wrap up a 20+-year franchise, nothing is. Hell, if there was another game announced, it probably won't even compare to this game.    … Expand

I see lots of people that start playing Smash and ask me "who is the strongest character?" there is no strongest character,you just need to like them to play them good with obliviusly some practice, practice makes perfect.

This game is the culmination of a fantastic team and a director who really cares about the product. This game is just the perfect refining of a game. As a big Melee fan, i absolutely love this game. When Brawl first came out almost everyone I knew was pretty disappointed with how slow it felt, the character roster, and other letdowns (tripping we remember you).

    This game has every character from all smash games and then they even went above and beyond putting characters in that we thought we would never see like Steve (minecraft), Sephiroth (FF7), Ken (Street Fighter), Sora (Kingdom Hearts) to name a few of the mind-blowing characters. The game feels good, and you still able to use your Gamecube controller with the adapter they released for the Wii U being compatible. Not only that but almost all controllers work on this console and work well with smash. I sometimes use the 8bitdo controller / sometimes the Switch pro controller depending on my mood.

    The amount of great music this title holds makes it a library that you can just chill out to and use the music player to listen to it. Its like you got a bunch of albums of music just for free along side a fantastic fighting game.

    This game set a lot of standards that make it almost impossible to follow up on. I feel almost bad for any other fighting game trying to compete. But it seems a lot of fighting games are trying to follow the same type of style but most have been a letdown with the content, the tight controls and the overall polish.

    This game has all of that and more. It has so much to offer that this is the only game you really need on the switch and you can have unlimited fun. The grassroots community for smash is huge so you will be able to find a tournament no matter where you live as people hold this game up to the competitive standard you would never expect.

    Overall one of the best fighting games to ever grace this green earth. 10/10    … Expand
