    Un juego que supo tomar todas las mecanicas de los juegos anteriores y evolucionarlas, aunque se hubiera agradecido que tuviera un modo historia en lugar de un modo aventura pero la jugabilidad, los modos de juego, la interacción de los espiritus, el amplio roster, la hermosa banda sonora hacen que el juego sea perfecto 10/10 IGN.

    I LOVE THIS GAME! There's so many ways you can play this. You're at a party with a lot of friends and you can play 8 player smash, with items on, big stages with hazards on, or you can play it seriously 1 v 1, no items, with legal stages like battlefield stages or omega stages, and go to tournaments , win and get a lot of money.

    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.

Basically it's a fighting game with lots and lots of characters and lots and lots of options. Then there's the single player campaign with and endless stream of special power-ups en ways to enhance your abilities. The many stages have lots of things that can happen. What you end up with is a load of surprises every time you start the game, and the only way to master it is by playing hundreds and hundreds of hours to master the different fighters and to learn all there is to learn in this massive game.

    I'm still not hooked on the game, but there's no denying that this game is very big and very well-executed. There are just so many ways to play the game, and there's so much to discover. The difficulty can be set very low. And although a victory isn't very satisfying then it allows you to discover what your character can do. Classic mode automatically ups the difficulty if you win too easily.

    Multiplayer I've mainly done locally. It's fun even if you lose. There's a lot of options to setup tournaments.

    All in all this is a very extensive game. I'm not a fan but still have 50+ hours invested in it. If any game on Switch is worth buying for the content alone it's this.    … Expand

    and for tourny mode it is all troll play and soar winners
    normal smash mode is not rewarding enough
    no other cons

    My issue with the online capabilities. Every other console and my PC I have works fantastic with my internet, both on Wifi and using ethernet. The game is laggy and disconnects frequently, almost evert game. All of Nintendo's (admittedly great) games are fantastic, but with Nintendo's god-awful online service games are unplayable in COVID. I can't exactly go to my friend's and play at the moment, which makes Nintendo's use of an almost 20 year old online service software abundantly clear. They've said they are going to change to a new online service, but its been months and a time estimate has never been given, and I suspect by the end of 2021 we won't see any progress. Even Melee, a 20 year old game, has an online system far superior, which was made by modders. It's just sad.

    It's just disappointing to see such great game developers to be continually let down by a company that cares nothing for the people who get their products. I truly love this game, and if it's improved I will be more than happy to come back and leave it a better review.    … Expand

    Oh Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I so want to like you. But I just can't.

    I want to state this now, before my review. I have played ultimate since about 6 months into it's release. This is not coming from a person who picked the game up once and went, "Screw this." This is coming from someone who has spent 370 hours in the game. Also for those who think, oh he probably just hasn't tried    Oh Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, I so want to like you. But I just can't.

    I want to state this now, before my review. I have played ultimate since about 6 months into it's release. This is not coming from a person who picked the game up once and went, "Screw this." This is coming from someone who has spent 370 hours in the game. Also for those who think, oh he probably just hasn't tried hard enough. I am not the type of person to give up when I hit a wall in a game. I spent almost 45 minutes watching a video about a game I hadn't even played yet because I wanted to be better at it when I actually did play it. I learn speed-run strats in fps games so that I can be better in multiplayer. I have tried certain racing game stages hundreds of times to get better by even a split second. Sure I have my breaking points, but I'm no push over when it comes to a challenge. I play Rocket League for goodness sake, a game that is literally all about how much time and effort you put into it.

    THE REVIEW STARTS HERE
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    For all those who are unfamiliar with Smash Ultimate. Don't expect that when you see the tag "Fighting Game" that you are going to play a consistent, skillful, and strategic game. No. Expect to play against a bunch of people who spam the same two moves over and over and over and over and over and over again.

    This is by far the most inconsistent feeling smash game of the bunch. The game rewards camping and spamming heavily. Maybe because there are so many characters who can camp and spam comfortably.

    I know there will be people who think, Pros don't spam, and if a Pro went against a spammer the Pro would win. I beg to differ. I saw a game between two Pros and for one of his stocks one of the Pros, as the announcer called it, (paraphrasing) "Didn't spam, but strategically threw each of ivysaur's leaf blades a bunch of times to hit his enemy." I call that spamming.

    Another example is when a particular Pro that I won't mention here, said he legitimately spammed smash attacks and won as the worst character in the game (Little Mac) against a Pro.

    I don't know whether it's the horrible servers, my wifi, or the way the game was built, but the amount of times I have said, "That's not what I pressed." Or "Where was my attack I pressed to do?" is insane. Now I am positive that a decent amount of those times were me being a little sloppy with inputs, but certainly not EVERY FREAKING TIME! Good lord the amount of games that I should have won but the attack I did "missed" or "didn't register" hurts my head. I don't remember this sort of stuff happening nearly as much in Brawl.

    I have flip flopped between characters on this game FAAAAAAR MORE than I ever did Brawl or smash 4. The game feels so inconsistent that I have tried time and time again to find a character that works for me and even to this day I question if I have found the right one. (currently it's Cloud, and I dislike sword fighter characters, so idk)

    The biggest thing going for the game is the amount of characters in it, which seems to be the thing that people are constantly blinded by. Having more characters in a game is inherently going to make it more clunky and unwieldy. Imagine trying to keep 74, almost 75, characters balanced, it's a joke! Now don't get me wrong, for having 74 characters in the game, there isn't a fighter that I think dominates the scene, which is a decent achievement of game design.

    I barely touch Spirits, it's not that fun, not that interesting. There's barely a story. Very few cutscenes. And it is extremely easy when using spirits even on the hard difficulty. Subspace Emissary was something I replayed quite a few times, but I usually forget that Spirit's exists.

    Let's get the behemoth in the room over with. Sakurai. Believe me, I respect Sakurai a lot. But what he chooses to do and not to do is simply his job and his choice. Everybody get's angry when people say something bad about the game because, "Sakurai and his team have put so much love into the game." I don't doubt that they have. But not every criticism can or should be washed away with, "But Sakurai is great!" or "There are so many characters!" Please let's think critically, and not simply say, "Oh, he dislikes the game? He must be bad." "Oh, the attack didn't register? Must have been because you're bad or you have bad wifi." or the classic, "GEt GuD!"

    The game did add a lot of stages and retain a lot of stages which is great! Music selection is off the chain! Having a training area is exactly what Smash needed. Overall it's a game I usually don't play and when I do, I regret it. Sometimes it is fun, most of the time it's not.    … Expand

    The game is really good with a bunch of friends playing local multiplayer. Everything is snappy and lots of characters to play. However, online is a total joke. It is so unresponsive for a fighting game. That is basically one of the most important things in a fighting game and they have the worst online multiplayer I have played in a while.
