    It's the biggest Smash ever. The extras are just Incredibles, World of light is nice and we have so many different characters. Best smash bros game ever

    Sakurai has yet again made another amazing video game for Nintendo's consoles, Super Smash Bros Ultimate has everything the fans ever wanted, it has all the characters, almost all the stages and huge soundtracks for each series that is represented in the game, although World of Light in my opinion is a bit repetitive.

    It's Smash Brothers and it's the best one of the franchise. I agree that it is a "must-play."

    There are plenty of characters to choose from and for a Smash game it feels the most balanced yet. Lots of great levels to choose from. Adventure mode is fun. Online has it's quirks but it's very fun. So nice to be able to play with friends online.

    My favorite game of all time, it is fun online, with friends, and it just has no end to it. It is practically impossible to get bored of the game.

    Deserving of this score based on the effort and care put into this game alone
    I feel as if the positives have been thrown out there so much that I’ll mostly go over my own criticisms, what I feel keeps this amazing game from being a 10/10 experience
    World of light isn’t that great, it definitely could have been better I preferred trophies to spirits The competitive aspect of the game    Deserving of this score based on the effort and care put into this game alone

    World of light isn’t that great, it definitely could have been better
    I preferred trophies to spirits
    The competitive aspect of the game feels a little bit too heavily reliant on reads vs good neutral game (although this isn’t a huge issue just something I’ve noticed)
    Some janky hitboxes and strange interactions

    Overall I’d say this really is the greatest Smash Brothers game of all time    … Expand

    The most ultimate part of SSB. This one has over 70 playable characters and a lot of other content. But the most interesting thing in this game for me is online game.

    I've been through all the franchise games and no doubt this smash is the best fighting game ever. Super complete game, all character, all scenery, giant content with items and cool appearances from other games. New characters are just beyond the border of other consoles.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is no longer just a celebration of Nintendo characters anymore, but a celebration of gaming as a whole.

    The only things that hod this game back is the somewhat poor online features with lag galore, but all that's all really.

    Overall, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is agame that is flexible for both old and new players of the series that will definitely find their money well spent.

    Gameplaywise this game is flawless. All the characters are relatively balanced and all fun to play as. Unfortunately, it is kind of lacking in the singleplayer department. Although World of Light is extremely long, it still is really repetitive. Still a great game especially with friends.

    The "ultimate" Smash Bros game with the biggest and best cast of 1st party and 3rd party characters. The only criticism is that the online sucks and doesn't feel as good as Melee

    An ode to video games and a super well balanced competitive fighting game, all at once.
    What fighting game has players sinking in 200+ hours in its 1-player mode?
    This game has tons and tons of solo play replayability and multiplayer fun to be had.

    This game is awesome! No problems, all fighters work perfectly, and this would be the best out of all Smash Bros games.

    Some issues can be, such as the CPU being too hard or easy to fight, and sometimes, the DLC being way too big in space, but it is good regarding those problems.

    Super smash bros ultimate.
    The best smash game, and one of the best games ever
    If you want to have fun or to play competitively in smash you can with the huge roster with over 70 characters and over 100 stage
    30 hour of music with more than 800 soundtrack And many rules to play with and modes for singleplayer or multiplyer

    Sakurai and his team have created a beautiful fighting/party game that anybody can pick up and enjoy. The appreciation it has for gaming and even all the iterations the series has had before it is baffling. They have created an endlessly enjoyable experience for me, down to the smallest detail. The game will continue to get better with time as it expands to new ends of the gaming scene.Sakurai and his team have created a beautiful fighting/party game that anybody can pick up and enjoy.

    This game is near perfection, no matter what style you play, whether it's a casual 4 player brawl or a 1 on 1, the world of light is also a fun side mode along with classic mode. The worst component is the online s it may sometimes lag but it is still a fun time.

    El mejor Smash hasta la fecha tanto en lo audiovisual como en lo juagble y ya ni hablar de los personajes escenarios y modos que tiene. Lo unico malo es el online, que va bastante mal pero por lo demas es un juegazo.

    This is one of the best fighting games. I've spent almost 1000 hours in the game grinding and playing with my friends. It's probably my favorite game because you never get bored of grinding new characters playing online or in tournaments.

    This is the best game in the entire series. It has beautiful graphics, great fps, and spectacular gameplay. There are problems though. One, some characters are broken or unplayable. Thankfully Nintendo does update the game so problems will be fixed. Overall, this fricking rocks.

    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!
