    This is my first Smash game. Pretty excited about it. This game is fun, complex, unique. Has some flaws, such as boring World of Light mode. Amount of contents is crazy overall

Graphics looks like the game runs on PS4 pro - amazing! its hard to believe handheld console can manage to pull this off. Well this may even be the best game of 2018 alongside PS4 Spider Man and Dragon Quest XI (I have yet to play Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War and Monster Hunter World though).

    It's a broken laggy mess with no regard for what mode you want to play or your skill level. Consistently losing to a mixture of input lag, far more experienced players or what seems like random chance is frustrating and not fun for me, even winning feels unrewarding for similar reasons. No other game I have is like this so it's kind of a relief to see others experiencing similar because most reviews had me feeling like I was going mad. I don't imagine I can influence seasoned Smash players but novices should be aware that talk of Ultimate being casual friendly does not fit my experience at all. It's back to Brawlhalla for me where even the matches you lose feel fair and fun.    … Expand

    As far as online play, I am able to excuse the occasional hiccups due to the sheer number of users flooding the servers. But the decision to do matchmaking based on loosely tied rules (and not the For Glory and For Fun in Smash 4) was absolutely a mistake. If it can be changed back, it needs to be done.

    But the annoyances really can't mask the fact that this is one of the most accessible yet challenging titles in the series that beautifully balances the competitive elements of Melee with the all-inclusive entertainment of Brawl and Smash 4. And the sheer staggering amount of content (none of which feels hurried or jammed in without thought) cannot be denied, either.    … Expand

Before that I want to get some all-encompassing elements out of the way. The fighting feels great. My one gripe is with the reduced lag on many moves, which makes punishing certain things feel frustrating. I know this comes down to personal preference, but I feel the shield and dodging nerfs did enough to weaken defensive play. Besides that the game looks and sounds beautiful.

    Smash
    The addition of a crew battle mode in the form of squad strike is the biggest addition. Its nice that you can play it as one player or a group. Smash-down is another welcomed inclusion, allowing you to keep track of who you have and haven't played yet. Overall I have no complaints for this mode.

    Games and More: (MINOR SPOILERS FOR CLASSIC MODE)
    Classic mode is better than it has ever been. The specialized story modes are a nice touch, and the unique bosses for some characters are a welcomed surprise. Sonic, Pokemon, and Mother feel like odd exclusions from this, considering Pokemon and Mother had their own bosses in subspace emissary. Besides that stadium events being gone doesn't upset me, unlike the absence of stage builder. It isn't a tragedy, but its a mode many people, myself included, found a lot of enjoyment in.

    Spirits: The Buzz Buzz one is the best one
    Theres not much bad I can say about spirits but theres not much good either. Its very novel. Many Unique fights feel unbeatable without spirits that remove the entire gimmick (Ashley's control flipping). It mostly funny references with little gimmicks to make them more accurate. The main thing I have umbrage with is that some of the spirits inadvertently spoil large plot points for many games. I want to be transparent, I haven't beaten world of light yet. Grinding through low level spirits and searching for the specific character I need to get past a certain point isn't particularly compelling. I think the Spirit Board is Wonderfull. The spirits feel designed as quick distractions from the meatier parts of the game.

    Online: Its bad
    EVERYTHING IS RANKED. Unless you go digging through lobbies anything you do in quickly will effect your GSP. Besides all the regular Nintendo Online stuff (Friend codes, no invite system, no voice chat...) there are other glaring absences from this mode. No Squad Strike or Smashdown. Why even add them if you aren't going to let people play them. I don't think Nintendo understands that people like to play their games online. Wheres tournaments? We had them offline only, then online only, and now back to offline only. No indication of rank. League of Legends, Dragon ball FighterZ, Counter Strike. All these games have multiple ranks and show what you need to rank up. Elite smash is this ambiguous number thats constantly changing, with no tracker showing what you need.

    Online 2: Its really bad
    You can't spectate running matches, You can't taunt. You can't even choose what game mode you wan't to play. Nintendo is so behind the ball on this, it's inexcusable, and this is their big online game of the year. Its so easy to fix to. Make a ranked lobby thats Final D and Battlefield. Add squad strike and smash down at least in private lobbies. Add online tournament creation. We already had it in Smash 4. Let me invite people through my switch and let me taunt when I three stock a little Mac by throwing him off the stage.

    Smash Ultimate really is a great game. The gameplay feels better than ever and the classic mode is better than ever. World of Light isn't a fully realized adventure, but more a collection of neat fights taking place on an enormous map. Melee Adventure, Subspace Emissary, and even Smash Run on the 3DS did more for me in that department. The online is absolutely terrible. Its missing so many features that exist in modern games, or even older games for that matter. For so many people online is the main way they are going to enjoy the game, and it is so lacking that it brings the entire experience down.    … Expand

Yet, the barrier for entry is not high, so even if ya wanna treat it like a party game, anyone can pick up a character and have fun.

    Which is a good thing considering just how big the roster is, I mean, they brought back every character from every previous games, and to this day they're still adding new fighters, even if the DLC is rather expensive. But at least some of them also add new stages and music, tho even if ya don't bother with the extra content, the base game already has a good selection of stages and an incredible soundtrack full of remixes and new tracks for pretty much every series present, that is just pure ear candy.

    Not sure if I can say the same for the visuals tho, they're kinda like a more gritty version of Smash Wii U's style, which kinda makes it seem like everything is covered in dust. Not a big deal, but I think the Wii U version still has the better aesthetics, but at least the new visual effects make up for it in some regard, plus the game runs like butter.

    All of the above aspects are pretty good, however, there are some problems I have with this game that prevent it from being better than Smash for Wii U overall. I am mostly referring to the single-player offerings. Sure, there are tons of characters and stages, but that's for the main smash mode. Everything surrounding it is really half-baked. Classic mode is the only worthwhile, long-term mode for single player, and to be fair, it's pretty good since now every character has a thematic variation of it and it will end in a different boss battle depending on the fighter you're using, like Master hand, Ganon, Dracula, etc.

    That's all well and good, however, the rest simply doesn't hold up. Sure, World of Light is amusing for the first 2 hours, but it quickly became mind-numbingly repetitive, as all you're doing is fighting over and over and over again. It doesn't even have a lot of cool cinematics like Brawl, and yet it's twice as long. It's clear a lot of time and care went into this mode, as every fight represents a spirit character from a certain franchise, and the map is beautifully crafted. I appreciate that, but it's just way too long, tedious and boring for it to hold any re-play value.

    And that's basically all the game really has to offer, no really. All-stars has been reduced to just another version of multi-man melee, instead of the strategic endurance round it used to be, on top of the other versions the game has, and rest is stage creator, sandbag and training mode.

    This is such a shame, considering this is a franchise that usually likes to pack its games with LOADS of content for the player who likes to play the game solo. Smash Wii U, alone, had Classic mode, All-stars, Master & Crazy orders, challenges to complete, Events which was basically mission mode, Smash Tour, playable NES and SNES games, Trophy collection, and all the other little modes like Stage Builder, Training, Stadium, etc. And on TOP of that, it also had custom moves and stat bonuses for amiibo.

    Ultimate simply doesn't compare. Its main smash mode is as great as ever, and now you can even do offline tourneys and make permanent rule sets, but besides classic mode that's it. There is no other incentive to go back to the game after sloughing through World of Light and unlocking all the characters unless you're really into fighting CPUs and doing all the challenges. Especially considering that the online is still pretty lacking.

    Sure, Smash shines most when it's a multiplayer game, but quite frankly, that goes for any game of that nature. And as someone who mostly plays Smash alone, I was left rather disappointed. And no, Spirit events are not enough, because spirits are just glorified stickers, I much prefer getting a trophy and being able to view it in all its glory. But of course, Ultimate doesn't even have trophies or custom moves outside of the Miis.

    Simply put, Smash Ultimate (or Special in Japan) doesn't live up to that title on the whole. It's still Smash Bros, it's still a blast to play with friends, or if ya like to fight lvl9 CPUs all day, but the complete package is far below what was set previously, on what I still think is the best Smash game of them all, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. A better roster doesn't make for a better game.    … 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.

    Smash has been around since the N64. It started as a simple party game and by a happy accident became one of the premier fighting games in the competitive scene regularly scene at tournaments like EVO.

    But what is Smash? Is it a party game? Is it a fighting game? It's both. It's whatever you want it to be. There are so many options to tailor the experience to how you want to play it's amazing.

    Let's start with the roster. Any fighting game worth it's salt has to have an interesting roster right? Smash is no different and it absolutely delivers. It has brought every character back including those like Solid Snake and Ice Climbers. The sheer work it must have taken for licensing to make this happening must have been incredible.

    Initially I was disappointed that trophies were cut as well as home run contest. In the place of trophies we got spirits. They are ok but I miss reading the little bits of information about the history of the cool stuff.

    We also got a new addition in the form of world of light which is like a new adventure mode and it's pretty massive. I found it incredibly enjoyable.

    Home Run contest has since been added back in along with stage editor/creators. In addition they have continued to support the game via a fighter pass.

    In addition to returning characters from Smash 4 like Cloud, Bayonetta and more as well as newcomers like K. Rool and Ridley? The fighter pass has seen the addition of Joker, Hero, Banjo, Terry, and Byleth.

    So what do I not like about Smash Ultimate? Well I didn't like the changes made to Link. I wasn't all that fond of Breath of the Wild for starters so I really lamented the loss of things like a hook shot.

    That being said there is so much other content on offer that even if someone finds that they no longer like the way a character plays? They can generally find something in the 50+ character that should speak to them.

    The online is still as bad as it always was though, only now you have to pay for Switch Online.

    Smash Ultimate is easily worth the price of admission and offers more content than other games for the same price.    … Expand

All in all this game has so so so much more to offer compared to its previous entries from spirits mode (which is fun even if a bit repetitive) to the classic mode with exclusive paths for each 70+ characters some even having final bosses besides master hand and crazy hand. And the icing on the cake? This game has an amazingly balanced roster, for once In a smash game EVERY character is viable, except for one certain blue haired character with horrible recovery and genuinely no reason to play him instead of Roy. I really really like chrom as a character so I hope sakurai somehow fixes this because he’s the only character in this roster I’d consider unviable, it wouldn’t be hard either just change dancing blade to Ike’s side special I’m sure no ones gonna miss it that much and that could make him an even more unique echo. Well obviously sakurai isn’t gonna read this but hey I’ll hold out hope chrom will have his day in an update maybe, would changing a move be too much? I feel like it would be new and possibly unwelcome but I don’t think many people would mind if chrom happened to be the one exception, or he could just have like 3 jumps.
