    It felt that the game would have a rough start with all the toxic fans hatin' on Sakurai for not having every character they want. But regardless, SSBU is worth all the hype.

    Several characters to play and they are all well balanced as far as I can tell. So many stages and music, I have a hard time believing it could fit into one small card. The spirits are addictive to collect.    It felt that the game would have a rough start with all the toxic fans hatin' on Sakurai for not having every character they want.

    The spirits are addictive to collect. I'm still trying to get everything on the board and I'm sure they will add more in the future.

    The adventure mode may not have had many cutscenes as subspace but it did keep my attention to the end.

    The biggest improvement from Smash 4 is the online mode is a lot less laggy. Before it was like every game making it pointless. But now in Ultimate, it is rarely laggy in most matches.

    Overall, this is a must-have for the Switch! Just don't expect to get yourself to stop playing for hours past your bedtime.

    Update: An issue with online play. When someone leaves for any reason, no one gets any points. It's frustrating. This is something they should fix cause knowing this game lots of people will rage quit when they lose.    … Expand

    I love this game. Not only does smash ultimate have thousands of replay value, it has one of the best unlock system ever, at the beginning... and plus all characters from previous smash bros games are back. This is the best smash game ever.

It had been about 1month since I last played and I thought I’d pick it up again. I was a bit rusty so I chose to play the ai at a level 8. I was winning easily and went online but soon found that the only people still playing were people who dedicated themselves to mastering one character, and repeating their attacks. This made the game flat out unplayable online. On long with this was the buggy grab action where my hand would randomly go straight through the enemy, along with infinite blocking. Unless your willing to play this game as your only game, I would not recommend buying it at this stage of the game.… Expand

    This game is beautiful, polished but most importantly... it's fun. Tons of characters and they're all oddly balanced. (mostly) great stages and great songs. This really is the ultimate Smash Bros game.

    the custome smash make many wierd momets that you will keep lathing more than fighting.
    the mii custmization have so many possibilities that anyone and anything can join the smash roaster, eaven your grandmother.
    it's classic mode lacks off brake the targets and board the platforms, but each character has it's own uneque classig mode and multiples final bosses.
    the recently added stage builder allow anyone to put your criativity to work and show the results to anyone in the internet.
    the video editor help to make many simple, yet funny videos to share.
    smash world is also a really cool feature, you can share clips, montages, mii fighters and the previously mensioned crated stages to show epic or funny stuff to all smasher.
    but, no game is perfect, smash ultimate's major flaws start at adventure mode (world of light): it is a really long "table game" where you have to do lots of fights, it is funny at the begining but it becomes way too repetitive, it have a few puzzles here and there but that's it, it doesn't have any memorable moment untill the final boss.
    the secound big flaw is it's online mode, if you play smash bros ultimate, you know what i'm talking about, there is way too much lag in every single match, which make characters that require precise imputs unplayable, shiek is considered by many mid-tier or high-mid-tier but online she is as good as smash 4 jiglypuff since you are never able to use your best combos which is awful since now you have to pay for the online services and yet the only game whith good online servers on the Nintendo switch is splatoon 2 and some third party games and no other Nintendo game.
    besides world of light and on-line problems, smash ultimate is whith no doubt the best smash game ever and certainly is a must-play game for any switch owner.    … Expand

    Smash Ultimate is in my opinion, the second best smash ever, being melee the first.
    The game is awesome, the textures are more "realistic" than Smash 4, we can now save the rulesets, the roaster is not divided by the game series, is divided by the order that the characters entered Smash.

    This is probably the best smash bros game that I had ever played because it does everything right that WiiU/3DS couldn’t do right. The cast of fighters are way better because everyone in Smash history is in the game which is a good thing for new players and veterans of the series. The DLC roster is already starting better than the Wii U and 3DS versions. Joker is just a good pick for me.

The game has a variety of game modes and difficulties for players to engage with along with some online play to boot. My one complaint however is the ramp up in difficulty that seems to come when a new character approaches, I have the game set to default difficulty and manage fine against the AI losing occasionally but mostly winning however when I come up against the challenger approaches enemies I lose a whole lot more. I do understand there should be a challenge in unlocking someone knew so it does indeed feel like an achievement however the ramp up seems extreme especially for new comers to the genre and franchise.… Expand

The last entry that I played was Melee. Regardless, I kind of bought into the hype for this game, probably partly because the Switch was having a slow year (aside from Indie games and ports). But I was BLOWN away when I downloaded Ultimate and started playing the story mode. It's just a love-letter to video games. Aside from the HUGE roster of fighters, pretty much every character who has ever appeared on a Nintendo console is present in the game either as a spirit (a kind of equippable playing card that enhances your fighter in particular ways) or as an item. There are over 800 music tracks in the game from god knows how many franchises. The scope of Smash Ultimate is just enormous. I've now played the story mode for about 35 hours and I'm still not finished. Then there's also Classic mode for every character, mob smash, special smash, and of course the Online mode (and many more gimmicks).

    Smash is one these games that is easy to learn but hard to master. It really impressed me how much you can immerse yourself in all the details concerning the combat, if you want to. On the flipside, if someone has never played the game, it takes about 30 seconds to explain the basics and they're good to go. That's just amazing game design.

    I really never thought that I would enjoy a fighting game this much.

    P.S.: LOL at the crybabies giving zero points because their requested characters were not included. Look, I also don't understand why Waluigi is not a fighter at this point in time; when there's THREE different Mii characters in the standard roster.

    The point is: I'm not going to get all butthurt about it. It's still an amazing game, and if you let such small details ruin a great thing for you, then good luck with your life bro. It's not going to be easy.

    The game is still fairly new, so I understand the hype.

    Visually, it's stunning. Every entry in the series is good for its time, every entry feels like a genuine graphical upgrade from the last, Ultimate being no exception. In terms of content, the game is packed full of it. The roster is gigantic, and the value is incredible.

    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

That being said, the online servers are really bad, even five months after the game's release, several updates, and the fact that the game is on the Switch. With a new ranked system in a competitive fighting game, you think it would be their primary focus to perfect the online, but now. Not only do the connection issues make the game unplayable at times, but even when you do get into a good game, there's a chance it's not the mode you have as your preferred mode, meaning you'll lose rank based off of a game mode you didn't even want.

    Super Smash bros ultimate improves their predecessors. More players, a better gameplay, and more hours of fun solo, with friends and family or online. A extremely enjoyable game if you like the saga.

    It's the best Smash game, period. Online just needs a bit of fixing, and the game could possibly be considered one of the best Nintendo games, period. The story mode's REALLY long, but still short enough to be finished in a fair amount of time. The single-player modes and normal Smash modes are still as good as ever. Just...go play it.

Its hard to get in a match and the GSP makes no sense but its not the major problem. Its still doable to play and the other modes are very good to play. The World of Light is amazing with its story. Compared to Subspace, they're a little the same with WOL being slightly higher. The story is amazing with Galeem, Dharkon, and all previous Smash bosses with new ones added like Ganon and Dracula. The fights get a little repetitive and the AI is challenging but thats what makes it fun, i mean you wouldnt ragequit on a CPU right? The proper Smash modes for you and your friends to play is great, Smashdown, Custom Smash, Tourney, Stamina. Plus Classic Mode with is a huge improvement to the others like Sm4sh and 64, having each character have they're own pathway based on their games. The icing on this cake is the newcomers, not as much compared to Sm4sh, but the most demanding characters, like Inkling, Ridley, and King K. Rool, and favorite Echos and Returning Characters like Daisy, Young Link, and Wolf. Some like the Belmonts, Chrom, Ken, and Dark Samus were expected and Incineroar and Isabelle were odd choices but doesnt bring this game down. 74 characters with more for DLC makes this the Ultimate Smash game. If you like the Super Smash Bros series or Fighting Games in general, you should definitely get this game. My only complaint is the online mode, I wish it was better than it is right now. Everything else including Story Mode, Classic Mode, and Smash Modes are excellent. The choice is yours.… Expand

Everything I saw before release ended up becoming better than I hoped it would, like the new squad strike and smashdown gamemodes.

Mob smash is just a drag as well. however classic mode is the best its EVER been with every character having a themed route and a plethora of bosses it is a fun romp. however, where the game shines is multiplayer. with a roster of 70 unique characters plus 7 echo (clone) characters, there's going to be at least one you will like. every character plays different to some degree and while some do play similarly (EX: Ness and lucas) they all FEEL different and with 5 more characters and stages this has a lot of variety. as for the stage selection theres, 103 plus each stage had beta (what i call battlefield stages) and omega (final destination) stages bring the number to 309!!!!!!!!! sure some stages are better then other (SCREW 75M) however you also have fan favorites like yoshis story, fountain of dreams, dream land, cornaria, lylat cruise, halberd, both pokemon stadiums, mario bros (ok that ones just my personal favorite) and so many more complete with a redesigned battlefield and final destination. and to accompany the your fight the game has 800+ music tracks to listen to while you play and 90% of them are bangers! i have seen people complain about online and quickplay but i think its fine battle arenas are my favorite though. and finally spirits. to summarize what spirits are they basically turn the game into the Chaos 4 mod pack ranging from a slight speed buff to GRANTING 4 JUMPS. overall this game is sharp fast and fun and it's a game i have already sunk 400+ hours into. if you have someone who has never played a smash game this is the one they need to start with

This game is truly an homage to Nintendo's rich history; with more than 1.000 spirit battles and unique Classic Modes for each fighter and their echo-counterparts.

    Despite that, the game has lingering issues. While the online mode has been improved since launch, it still has many problems. The game also has high input lag, making it feel unresponsive, which is very bad for a game where you want to be in full control of the action! The game can also feel very repetitive. With the removal of extra modes, such as target test and the lack of a true story mode, the different game modes are very similar, which can become boring after a while.

    I recommend Smash Bros. Ultimate to any fan of Nintendo's amazing game series or to any Nintendo-fan in general. The game is not perfect, but if you have enjoyed any Smash game in the past, you will enjoy this game for many many hours.    … Expand

Smash 4 may have not had the best of an online either, but at least it was better than this trash. You could at least choose whether you wanted to do for fun, or for glory. You at least had the option. It also doesn't help that we are paying for the online now, and it's not any better than how it was in smash 4. If you want people to start paying for online, I say fix it, or at least make it so that you actually get the type of matches that you want, instead of getting forced into a match you didn't want with no way out, without getting punished for it.… Expand

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.

You can also create your own fighter called a mii fighter part of the nintendo switch settings is an option to create a mii which originated from a previous console the wii! If you have a figure called an amiibo you can put them in the game and train them! Now on to the story mode in this mode you go threw battles with fun challenges you will face! Personally i prefere brawls story mode because it was more of an adventure then same old battles which is also why i prefere brawls story mode (and the game in general) over ultimate! But i know brawl wont be everybodys jam ultimate is more open to new players. But my golly! the soundtrack is fantastic there is even an option in the game to listen to music! THhere are over 800 tracks! You can also make replay videos as well were you can relive fun moments you had in the game previously! Now we are down to the final game mode online its basically regular smash accept with people from all over the world!

    The game is very well    I personally want to give this a negative score based on how bad my experiences with the game competitively have been, but I know that isn't fair so I'm going a bit higher. I'm going to get into the pros before I get into what drives me crazy about this game (By the way this is pretty biased, but so is basically every review so hate all you want. I don't care lol).

    The game is very well balanced, most definitely the most balanced smash game so far including Smash 4. The game will be receiving patches at a good rate so I can't see a Melee Fox or a Brawl Meta Knight tier character rising to the top unless a mistake happens, which would probably be fixed later on. Additionally, the roster is HUGE. Newcomers like King K. Rool, Inkling, Ridley, and Simon Belmont were definitely good calls by Nintendo. And the idea of "Everyone is Here!" means almost nobody's past main is left behind and I love it! The soundtrack is nice, the graphics are beautiful and are probably the best in the series, and finally, the amount of content presented within the game is nothing to scoff at.

    Ultimate is a good game objectively. But if I'm being honest, Ultimate has a ton of things that hold it back from being the best smash game in my book. For one, some of the mechanics and how the game flows either don't mix well together or simply aren't good. For example, the majority of moves are safe on shield and a good few are safe on parry, meaning you can get punished for trying to punish things out of shield that really shouldn't be safe (such as dash attacks or smashes on shield). Another example is the fact that you can no longer run through opponents. The addition of parrying over perfect shielding makes sense to me (even if it's worse when you think about projectiles) but there is literally no reason to add this in. It restricts your options and it was never even a problem to begin with, so all it does is mess people up who are transitioning from past smash games and limit options for those who have adapted to Ultimate. It's a really stupid addition that took away from the game for no foreseeable reason.

    Additionally, while some roster additions were good, others weren't really a joy. Like... Piranha Plant? A minor Mario enemy over a notable character such as Toad, Waluigi, or Birdo? Heck, if you want to add Piranha Plant just add Petey Piranha and it'd be the same thing with a lot less visible injustice done to the other Mario characters. And other additions such as Daisy and Richter as echos and not skins (even though they have almost no differences whatsoever), the addition of Incineroar over Decidueye (a Pokemon who actually had a following got trumped by one whose was very small before Ultimate/the leak), and more Fire Emblem fighters we didn't need (at least Pokemon and Mario are top-selling franchises) are debatable.

    Then there are other holes in the game such as the online mode. Nintendo knows that online is flagship game mode for many players; it was put on the main menu screen in Smash 4. But now you must have the online service to play it? It's not as integral to Smash as it is to other games, such as Splatoon, but many competitive players cannot make tournaments or there are no tournaments in their area. And even then, in a casual aspect, playing online with friends is a great experience. Online did not have to be paid for; that felt a bit shoed in. And the online mode itself. Global Smash Power is completely sporadic in what you lose/get rewarded for winning and it's a poor measurement of skill. I'll beat many opponents in a row only to get pounded by opponents way better than me for the next couple of games. Did I hit a skill ceiling for that time? Yeah. But I shouldn't be all the way up there if I suck that bad (lol).

    Finally, World of Light. It is not good. It's pretty overrated in my opinion. It's definitely not a "big Smash Tour 2.0" like some have been comparing it to, but if you want to be brutally honest about what it is, it's literally just a bunch of Special Smash matches with customs on. If you play Special Smash with customs on and give your opponent advantages, that is basically World of Light in a nutshell. I never really found it fun. Others have, and that's okay. But the fact is that it's pretty challenging for newer players (I'm fine with the difficulty but it is really hard on newer players), even on easy, and it's just nothing special like the Subspace Emissary.

    In short, the game has a lot of features that drag it down that really don't have to be there at all. I feel like some things they did with the mechanics, shielding, speed, and other additions do not help the game. World of Light and some of the newer characters were pretty disappointing either due to expectations or what was portrayed.

    There are other complaints, but overall, it's good. It just has a lot of minor issues and dumb things about it that bog it down and make it feel a lot worse than it really is. 7 or 7.5/10.    … Expand

    Nintendo always likes to hype up its video games, especially the first-party ones. So when another Smash Bros. game came along, as always, Nintendo have made sure they don't disappoint. This time, like all others, it promised to be the biggest game yet, and they always are. The difference with this title? It truly is the biggest, and has lived up to many of our expectations.

This time, like all others, it promised to be the biggest game yet, and they always are. The difference with this title? It truly is the biggest, and has lived up to many of our expectations. Every character, plus more, over 800 tracks, over 100 stages, and a new, complete story mode? We are spoilt for choice. On top of that, many little kinks have been worked out, and the smallest changes as well: they make the biggest differences. This is the best game in the series. With a game easy to learn but hard to master, this will keep you entertained for hundreds of hours, and will probably become one of the all-time greats. You will enjoy it.… Expand

    So far, I've only played World of Light and local multiplayer. Having a good time with this game and with all the unlocks happening all the time, you really feel like you are accomplishing something and getting better at the game. Single player alone is worth the price of admission so far. Some of the battles are way too easy, but some are very hard, which is just right.

Online gaming is painful, often times you’ll notice a lag so other player’s internet connection can keep up. The only fun to be had is turning this game off and trading it in at a game store, this was a miss in terms of Smash quality compared to the previous installments.… Expand

    By far the best SSB game since Melee. They really balanced the characters and their final smashes. The updated Classic mode is unique for every character. The Wolrd of Light could have been perfect if it added a more developed story like in Brawl. The unique scenarios for spirits are very well done. The replay value is never ending as playing Ultimate with others is easy and always fun.

    Probably the best fighting game ever. There is an insane amount of content, with every character from previous Smash games returning. Gameplay is awesome. Classic mode is the best in series, as each character has their own adventure. Graphics are stunning. Best soundtrack ever. It was close to a 10, but the poor online and missing modes drag this amazing game down to a 9.

    What makes a game 10/10?
    Well, for some people, they would only give 10/10 to a game that is flawless. however, i rate games based on how much i enjoy them. and while Smash Ultimate is not a perfect game, the enjoyment it brings is definitely worthy of a 10/10 score.

    -Every single character from the previous games returns plus newcomers, making for the hugest roster we’ve ever seen in a Smash game.
    -The newcomers are all fantastic barring one exception, which I’ll get into later -We still have more new characters on the way, such as Joker from Persona 5! -Echo fighters are a great way of categorizing the clones, and the new ones that we got    Pros:

    -Echo fighters are a great way of categorizing the clones, and the new ones that we got are all great
    -We got some really cool alts such as Wedding & Builder Mario, Crafted World Yoshi, and Pikachu Libre
    -There’s over 100 stages, and the majority of them are really fun to play on!
    -Classic mode is the best it’s ever been
    -I like how Multi Man Smash and All Star Mode have been simplified
    -Gameplay is the best and most polished the series has seen yet
    -Ditches coin battles in favor of having stamina battles as a standard mode, which is a much better choice
    -Smashdown is a mode I’ve always wanted to have in Smash Bros, so I’m really happy it’s finally here.
    Phenomenal soundtrack
    -Unlocking all the characters is more streamlined and fun.
    -Unlocking things in general (Music, Mii Costumes, etc) is much more streamlined and fun than in some previous Smash games, particularly Smash 4.
    -The menu is organized in a much better way than Smash 4’s menu was

    Cons (NOTE: Practically all of these are just nitpicks):
    -Some stages such as Sector Z, Mute City, Poke Floats, Rainbow road, Pac-Maze, Orbital Gate Assault, and Wooly World were unfortunately cut but yet stages like Hanenbow, 75M, Pac Land, and The Great Cave Offensive were brought back for some reason.
    -Many modes like Target test, Home Run Contest, Stage Builder, Smash Run, etc were unfortunately cut.
    -Spirits, while not bad, don’t quite make up for the loss of trophies
    -World of Light was a bit of a disappointment. While I do still appreciate the inclusion of an adventure mode, and while it isn’t bad, it’s too long and gets too repetitive.
    -Isabelle is playable but Shovel Knight and Waluigi are assist trophies.
    -You can’t turn stages hazards on and off from the stage select
    -It doesn’t save your character after a match
    -Why the heck is Mario’s Fire Mario Alt gone!?
    -Why the heck is Black Yoshi gone!?
    -They went all out representing other 3rd party series, yet there’s still only 2 Final Fantasy songs, and not even any Final Fantasy themed spirits outside of Cloud’s spirit.

    Final verdict: This is easily the best Smash Bros game yet. It trims the fat in regards to game modes and focuses on polishing and refining upon the core Smash gameplay as well as classic mode. While I do wish Isabelle hadn’t been playable and I would have prefered something more like Subspace for the adventure mode, it doesn’t take away from how much love and care the developers clearly put into this game. If you own a Nintendo Switch, you need to buy this game. 10/10    … Expand

    Okay so This is my first review. I am reviewing this game in particular because when reading the negative reviews its pretty obvious that most people aren't reviewing the game fairly, including those who gave 10/10's. I LOVE this game and i don't want misinformation being spread about it.

    Many reviews on here (especially the low scoring ones) are practically reviewing the characters    Okay so This is my first review. I am reviewing this game in particular because when reading the negative reviews its pretty obvious that most people aren't reviewing the game fairly, including those who gave 10/10's. I LOVE this game and i don't want misinformation being spread about it.

    Many reviews on here (especially the low scoring ones) are practically reviewing the characters included. One in particular says "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...". Of course the first bit is completely opinionated which is fine but saying there were no new 3rd party characters is just plain false. Simon and Richter Belmont are brand new 3rd party characters, Snake is also a "new" 3rd party character to this game as they most likely still had to go through a lot just to get him in since Konami's contract would likely have expired from brawl.

    I feel that their is a harsh lack of legitimate reviews so i'm going to give mine. I'd give this game an 9/10, i believe it is one of the best smash games. This is a celebration of Smash as a series and it shows. Right out of the box this game comes with the most music, characters, and stages of any game. Variety is huge and is definitely the biggest selling point of this title compared to the others. Smash 64 was a great proof of concept and the fighting is very deep. Melee took the depth of SM64 and put it on steroids. Brawl was a fighting game for the casual audience of the WII, not bad but most of the depth was taken out in favor of fun wacky mechanics. Smash 4 was a sort of return to form for the series but still leaving a bit of Brawl linger. Then came Ultimate with it's new ideas and implementation of old mechanics. This game really is the epitome of smash. I can only come up with one complaint about this game and it's a common one. The online is a bit of a mess, I think it will be fixed in the foreseeable future but at the moment it's a bit broken, with the connection problems and the preferred rules system. Other than that though, I feel this game is great in all other regards so I think i'll talk about common complaints other people have. "It's not enough like melee." Now I kinda get this one, after all my favorite smash game is melee, but we have to realized that melee is great because it is unique, if we got another melee that would not be good for the growth of the game. Even with that they did add new tech like directional air-dodges which allow for sudo-wavedashes and more colorful edge-guarding. "It's a port." Now this one I do not understand at all. I think this one is more of a thing people with out Switches say to make themselves feel better. The game has so so much content, I am much happier with what we got then a game built from the ground up that would come out a few years later with less content.

    Thank you for reading my long review and hopefully it was insightful and helpful for you.    … Expand

    The sheer amount of jank in this game is disgusting. So much relies on random chance, and the online mode, even after their fixes, is ridiculously bad.

How the hell did I get matched upThe sheer amount of jank in this game is disgusting. So much relies on random chance, and the online mode, even after their fixes, is ridiculously bad. GSP is one of the worst ranking systems I've ever seen, and they still don't bother to match me with my preferred rules half the time. 3 stocks and 7 minutes, the closest I can get to competitive rules. How the hell did I get matched up with 2 stocks, 3 minutes; 3 stocks, 4 minutes with random normal stages; and 2 stocks, 3 minutes all in a row? Right after that, I was matched up with another 2 stocks, 3 minutes where we had 3 seconds of input lag. I ran a speed test and my internet was completely fine (certainly not at a quality where I should have an entire 3 seconds of input lag), which means it's either Nintendo's server screwing up or Nintendo doesn't check people's connections before letting them online.

    Even ignoring online, the game seems set up to suck the fun out of things. You win when you make it so your opponent doesn't have fun. That's my experience, at least. Momentum is liable to change on a whim, when someone gets a lucky hit, just because there are so many ways to kill at far below 100% or do 20% with a ton of knockback—easily removing stage control—in a single hit. Skill seems to be far less of a factor. Since I know I'll just be called a bad player if I complain about people worse than me, I'll say this: I've beaten players who I know were far better than me just because I got a random hit in and killed them at the edge at 60%. That really shouldn't be happening so often. So many characters have tippers now, as well. It was fine when it was just Marth's gimmick, but now a ton of characters can kill ridiculously early by getting lucky with an fsmash.

    There are also some really strange features that I find to make little sense. Why can't we run through people anymore? It made the neutral game a lot more interesting, and while I can understand that not everything has to be realistic, changing the ground from 2D to 1D is just strange. The world doesn't simply exist on a straight line; people can walk past each other, but now we're left with characters in Ultimate just running in place whenever someone's in front of them. Even ignoring the ridiculous anti-realism, which can be excused, it makes the gameplay itself more boring, since it makes juggling a lot easier when you take away a huge escape route for the person landing. This leaves one player just not playing the game for over 30 seconds sometimes, as they fight their way to the ground against characters who can demolish them just by running right in front of their landing and waiting, over and over and over.

    Another strange feature is pitfalls, or grounding opponents. Why do people take full knockback when they're grounded now? It made sense in previous games, when knockback was halved, because it doesn't make sense that someone would be hit just as hard when they have to be knocked out of the ground as they would be without that natural reinforcement. The feature being changed like this also rewards people for spamming certain moves, such as Inkling's roller or K Rool's stomp, which are difficult to punish (yes, they can be predicted and shielded or jumped over, but even then, they can do it 10 or more times before reaching a percent where someone can actually get an equivalent punish off of them) and net ridiculously easy kills at lower percents.

    Look, the game's fun sometimes, but at other times, it's just a **** show. When I start playing, I've got about a 50/50 chance between ending up satisfied or hating life, just because things don't make sense at all and both wins and losses often feel equally undeserved. I can understand those who have fun with it, but at the same time, having fun often seems to come at the expense of your opponent's fun. In previous games, I actually had fun even while losing a lot of the time. In Ultimate, losing just feels boring, since the actual gameplay matters a lot less when random kills and far-too-easy ledge traps are the norm.    … Expand

    Online definitely needs some works. No local co-op in battle arenas, and GSP kinda sucks. (Maybe it's just Nintendo trying to be original? I dunno.)

    If not noobs programed the online part of this game, i would give 9 of 10 points.

    It's fluid and full of details. It has some little problems that the dev team have been patching constantly, with detailed notes

    Es un juegazo, no es un porto como dicen los haters, tienes más de 70 personajes y entre ellos a Simon Belmont, grandes batallas contra jefes, el modo aventura es una fusión entre modos anteriores como los eventos y smash tour pero no supera al modo aventura del Brawl, aún asì es una obra de arte, cuantos juegos de peleas e incluso de otros géneros ya quisieran tener la mitad de contenidoEs un juegazo, no es un porto como dicen los haters, tienes más de 70 personajes y entre ellos a Simon Belmont, grandes batallas contra jefes, el modo aventura es una fusión entre modos anteriores como los eventos y smash tour pero no supera al modo aventura del Brawl, aún asì es una obra de arte, cuantos juegos de peleas e incluso de otros géneros ya quisieran tener la mitad de contenido que tiene Smash, sin duda es uno de los mejores juego de Switch y sin duda de la generación… 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!
