I can say, confidently, that this did not disappoint and packed a punch that'll leave me in awe for quite a while. Masahiro Sakurai's work on this game really shows, yet people are still calling it a port with no competitive mechanics. I'd like to ask you, the reader to please look back at Sm4sh and tell me, is it really a port of Sm4sh? If you say yes then please reevaluate, it's like saying Melee is a port of 64 just because it's concept is similar or Brawl is a port of Melee because it's got some of the same characters. As for the competitive mechanics, it's the best INTENTIONALLY competitive Smash Bros. out there because of the amazing competitive mechanics. Directional Air-Dodging helps mix-up recoveries, combo strings, or landing, not to mention the fact you can no longer spam roll or air-dodging, as you could in Sm4sh, to purposefully stall out the match and play defensive. You may be wondering, "why did you say best intentionally competitive Smash game? Melee is much more competitive." You are correct on that my read but did you know Sakurai never intended Melee to be competitive in the slightest? Wave-Dashing was a glitch that players found out early in Melee's meta, Sakurai himself he didn't like Melee's competitive scene which is why we got Brawl. I've been ranting on a bit too much, it's just stupid reviews tend to make me quite "triggered;" especially when it's about someone's literal livelihood.

    Back to Smash Ultimate -- I personally think it's a great way to, potentially, send off Smash Bros. The whole entire "Everyone is Here!" aspect is really amazing, as it wraps Smash up in nice wrapping paper making it so people who previously lost their mains to be able to actually play them and it feels really smooth, alongside being clean overall. Have I talked about the graphics? Whoever designed the special effects, bravo to you. I hope Sakurai gave you a huge raise because my god, is this game absolutely stunning. Don't even get me started on the music in this game, the remixes, the childhood songs, everything. It's beautiful whether you look at it in the visual sense or the musical sense.
    There are major pros to this game but minor cons as well, I want to rate this a 9 because of the cons that are absolutely shoved into your face but I just cannot. This game is amazing, it's really an Everybody game. Whether you enjoy casual or competitive, you can find fun in this game.

    Let's talk about the pros for a second.
    -Directional Air-Dodging is back and it's more polished than ever, with end-lag tacked onto it so you cannot excessive use it for Wave-Dashing or recovering.
    -World of Light, it's an absolutely amazing adventure mode though the CPUs can be a bit hard for someone who isn't too skilled in competitive and especially who's into casual. Tone down the difficulty a bit and then this would be a 9/10 adventure mode.
    -Reduced Landing Lag makes a lot of options safe on shield making characters who previously suffered from mediocre or terrible frame-data more viable in the meta.
    -Everyone is Viable; looking at Smash Ultimate, you can see that everyone is very viable. Characters who are considered the worst, like Bowser Jr., are still insanely viable. Though I do not like the balancing choice of making "Everyone Overpowered"
    -Casual Gameplay is personally not my style, but as someone who does play friends with items on it's extremely fun. It's fast-paced and a lot of items are just overall fun to dink around with.
    -UI choices in this game are absolutely stunning, the clear inspiration from Persona seeping into the personality of Smash Ultimate.

    Now for some cons.
    -Online is an absolute mess. I cannot sugarcoat how bad the online services are, and this time we have to pay for them. There are no dedicated servers for Ultimate meaning you'll most likely find someone who doesn't have a Wired LAN cable and the match will be a slideshow. As I mentioned before I do not like the whole "Everyone should be Overpowered" design philosophy for fighting games because most of the time it'll end up with people abusing that power, it's very clearly shown on Online with K. Rools abusing super-armor on unfortunate people to match with them.
    -Everyone is Overpowered, don't get me wrong, making people viable is fine... But if you make everyone overpowered that's not fine. Changing frame-data to make it so someone is quicker and has more punch to their moves is absolutely fine, making a lot of moves safe on shield, kill, and spike, is not the greatest.
    -Nerfed Grabs is a nitpick, but I find it annoying when I try to dash-grab and end up not dashing in the slightest and whiffing my grab, causing me to get punished. It takes a little while to dash out of shield and grab, overall grab has less range.

    Sakurai, it's not perfect but continue to work on masterpieces, I cannot wait to see what the future holds.    … Expand

    This game is beautiful, the roster is bigger than ever with over 70 playable characters, plus 5 more to come in DLC.

    The roster may start small with only 8 characters but getting them is so much fun, and if you lose to anew challenger, you can fight them again in a new feature Nintendo added that lets you play against the challengers you lost to.
    The game is just amazing and so fun to play, but the online on the other is kinda laggy and the matchmaking isn't as good, plus now you have to pay for the Nintendo Switch Online service, something that for casual players, is awful.
    Coming to a conclusion the game is extremely good in every single way, except for the online mode.

    The game is really good with one major fault, the online is completely terrible, just horrendous. One of the worst implementations I've seen. You have a random number assigned at every caracter (which is the overall ranking) and from that number you lose points until you are with the ranking you deserve. Nothing says frustrating as trying to play online and get wrecked because your ranking (the one you start with) is too high. However all this is pretty much fine, the problem is you cannot play online what you want to play. What? Yup thats right, you choose a ruleset and you can either get your ruleset or anyone elses! Fun!! Wanna play with items? In some horrible stages? Yup go ahead you cant choose!
    The core game is great but the online is just too terrible to be dismissed. Worst online I have seen.    … Expand

    -Become repetitive, for me, after 30h. Combat isnt as fun as I thought and it is more about timing your attacks rather than complex or hard combinations of attacks.
    -Offline adventure. Grinding, repetitive, boring, the intro video is a HUGE clickbait. There are 1300 spirits, fighthing them is boring after a while, tho spirits are very cool; but you dont unlock descriptions or anything more than register of the spirit. A problem is that the game track the spirits you HAVE at the moment, not the ones you HAVE REGISTERED...this is a big problem, because if you free some spirits to summon or to get some points, then you lose the tracking of those spirits because as well as you dont have them, the game dont mark them so...you dont know what spirits you had or not and you will lose many time repeating fights that you dont need.
    -Online broken. This is the main problem. The healthy in long term of the game is the online, and it doesnt work properly. If you give me this feature working so bad, it is like 50% of the game for me.

    The good things of the game are obvious, what is not obvious is that a lot of many things is not a good as you can think if some mechanics arent perfectly developed and if some core mechanics (like the online) doesnt work properly to many users.

    I enjoyed 30h and sell it back for 50$. If you are new like me, I enjoyed to meet the saga finally, but it may be overvalued. I put it a real 7/10 which is a good mark in any academic work, but I think it is a bad mark seeing the "critic reviews".    … Expand

Personally I wasn't satisfied with the Classic Mode in Brawl and Sm4sh (I haven't played 64 or Melee) but this one is amazing! The only thing that keeps this from a perfect score is the online mode. For Glory and For Fun worked. I would rather have them to expand on those 2 categories and adding preferred rules as a different option but I'm not a fan of how it is now. Thankfully it's better than what it was on release and I do like to do competitive battles on stages other than FD and Omega forms but the fact that there's no guarantee that you'll find someone that has similar preferred rules to your own bothers me as well as other people. I don't mind if it's 2 stocks instead of 3. I don't mind if there's suddenly a timer. I don't mind if the Final Smash meter is included. Because those are just small alterations that I can easily get by and still have a good match. But when it's a one stock match with items and my opponent waits for a Bomb-omb to drop and throw at me makes it only fun for one person. Unlike some other people, I'm grateful that this game exists. I'm grateful for all the work Sakurai and his team has put into this game. And sometimes I just wish that people can just accept the game for what it is. No whining that your favourite character isn't playable. No complaining that this game looks like a port of Smash for Wii U. No complaining that the story mode (BTW it's an ADVENTURE MODE! Might have a plot in it but Sakurai did say that it's more about fun than story and it's nothing like Subspace) isn't like a story in which it doesn't have much cutscenes. Sakurai didn't want to include an adventure mode but due to the overwhelming popular demand, he did it and the fact that the entire game was leaked 2 weeks early only proves Sakurai's reasoning for not wanting to include one.… Expand

There are only 4 new ones though. I would have preferred if they cut down old stages for new ones. A new pokemon stage would have been great. The breath of the wild stage is very boring. I would have preferred divine beast vah medoh or hyrule castle. Plus they seem not to be paying attention to what fans want with stages. However that doesn't particulary matter to me as there are 103 so there are bound to be a few dozen you like. Sakurai also put tons of effort into the characters. They changed many of their appearances along with the stages. This looks very different from the wii u version. Although those graphics had a certain charm to it, I prefer the new ones since there are so many details. One of the best examples of the graphic change is princess zelda. She looks great and much more expressive. Plus she was buffed like many of the other characters. This made for great balancing. However once again I would have preferred quality over quantity. We didn't need clone characters, or echo fighters as sakurai tries to justify. I think pichu, wii fit trainer, young link, or so many fire emblem characters could have been cut. Dark samus could have easily been a costume instead of taking up a character slot. However Ken is a very good addtion. K rool, inkling, ridley, simon, and incineroar are also amazing. The game got rid of many mini games and instead went to the basics. Classic mode, world of light, and smash mode. All of these have many customization options. Classic mode is great and has unique bosses other than master hand. Clearly they put more effort than usual into that mode. The smash mode is very fun and has the best gameplay of any game (sorry melee fanboys). Online is very laggy however so I focused on single player. Local co-op was great but I didn't get a chance to play it very much. World of light has tons of effort but got boring and repetitive after a while. There are also spirits which improve your skills during gameplay and feature many characters that weren't included in the game.

    Siendo el contenido y la variedad su principal adjetivo Ultimate destaca también sobre los otros juegos de la saga por la gran calidad de controles, sin importar cuál sea el joystick que elijas el sistema de combate es muy cómoda y la respuesta es siempre óptima.
    Se resuelve el gran fallo de la entrega de Wii U y 3DS que fue la ausencia del modo historia, "El camino de la luz" es simple pero adictivo, ideal para ir familiarizándote con el juego si es tu primer Smash Bros. Hecho en falta los trofeos, los espíritus carecen de una estética que los armonice, la tarea de conseguir los trofeos era ardua pero ver cada modelo en 3D eran una gran recompensa.
    Tras varias horas de juego y con cosas todavía por desbloquear debo decir que "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" es un gran añadido a la lista de exclusivos de la consola, a mi gusto un infaltable.    … Expand

    Fun to play and awesome for head to head action versus friends. Unlocking the characters by beating them in challenger mode or after 10 minutes of game play is very catchy^^ Found my fav fighter (Link) pretty quick and stuck to him until I unlocked Solid Snake.

    All in all a awesome game, purchased the NINTENDO Switch Super Smash Bros. Ultimate-Edition and it looks terrific.

    This game deserves the title (Ultimate) as it is the best game of the saga. The characters, the modes, story mode, scenery… everything is just too perfect.

    Smash bros ultimate is an amazing smash game, taking everything that was great about 4 and running with it. All of the characters are fun to play and animated excellently (though not all of them play differently to be honest, the echo fighters are a nice addition but there was already too many Fire Emblem characters BEFORE they decided to add another one with this installment).

The game bridges nicely for first time players and professionals, with fast-paced gameplay that we haven't really seen since Melee. There is a wealth of content here, with it taking on average about 1-3 days to unlock the full character roster, new modes that really add a breath of fresh air, a new story mode to unlock spirits, and more than enough stages and soundtracks to never feel like you're repeating battles too often. Lots of tweaks to the gameplay make you think of what your next move should be like the addition of parry's, only one air dodge, and fixes to characters movesets that were not so great in 4 (i.e. Pikachu's neutral air is the equivalent of Mewtwo's in Smash 4, which is fantastic). There's something here for everyone, and with an excellent first DLC character reveal of Joker, Nintendo finally seems to be giving the Smash community what they want. The only real negative I have about the game is that the online play is abysmal at the moment, the removal of For Glory was a questionable choice, but with updates trickling out that are improving the matchmaking to give you your preferences, this game is looking up.… Expand

    Calling a Smash Bros game a masterpiece is stating the obvious, but here it is again: another masterpiece of this series. With such a big mode like the World of Light, and the biggest cast in the series, with everyone back + more, this really is worhty being called "Ultimate"

    While being seemingly no different from it's predecessors at first, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate is a buffet of goodness you can go to town on. It's gameplay is faster, albeit every single hit has just the right impact, making it really satisfying once a player claims victory. It's wide variety of characters and modes easily makes it one of the best fighting games within the last decade.

    First things first, I'm a casual player who was looking for a game that is more enjoyable than competitively viable, so if that's what you're looking for, scroll down. For those of you who are left, this game is loads of fun! I've been playing local multiplayer along with multi-console play, and the overall feel of every character and stage is great.

I've also recently completed the Adventure mode, World of Light, which kept me entertained all the way though my playthough of about 16 hours. As of right now, I think this is by far the best smash game for casual users, and second best for competitive play behind Melee. Overall, this is the Smash Bros. the fanbase has been waiting for, and you won't be disappointed if you pick it up.… 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!
