    This game is perfect, there's pretty much nothing else you would need out of a smash game. The only thing would be a better online experiance i guess.

    Easily the best Super Smash Bros. game yet made. The extensive character roster is approaching 90 or so characters with DLC, and the content in the game can even keep one player invested for hours.

    Лучший файтинг в который я играл. А я играл и в 11мк и в 10мк в 1 и во 2 Injustice, в бравлхаллу, драгонболл xenoverse 2. Очень интересный, однако 10 он не заслуживает.

    I rate smash ultimate a 9/10 because, all the characters from the past games are here; with the inclusion of new characters, the story mode is okay but, the repetitiveness gets annoying in a way if you play the world of light a second time, but the first it feels amazing and the boss fights and gameplay feels axing and awesome.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate es sin dida el mejor juego de la saga, tanto en cuanto a jugabilidad, como en modos y personajes. Todas las novedades están muy bien implementadas, y el tablero de espíritus me ha encantado. Jugabilidad muy buena, con mapas muy variados. Si te gusta la saga, es totalmente recomendable.

There is so much content with way more than ever before! Literally every single character from past games is in with no one cut, while there are a few great newcomers too like Inkling, Ridley and King K Rool. There are over 100 stages with most of them being retro stages that are graphically updated to look way better! There’s over 900 music tracks, which is massive, and most of these tunes are bangers! The core gameplay is the best we’ve seen in the series so far, it’s really smooth and controls well. World of light was okay but nowhere near the magic of the Subspace Emissary in brawl. Feels more like a long series of event matches. There aren’t as many side modes which is one of my favourite things about the series. They did add Home Run Contest and Stage Builder later on but they should have been there from the start. I love this game on its own but the main reason I can’t give it a higher score is due to the direction it went down post launch. It now feels like the game is nothing but a vehicle to create hype. It’s being targeted towards YouTubers and twitch streamers who scream and overreact to some dumb character announcement. There is so much more to the Super Smash Bros franchise than just characters. I feel like Sakurai has taken the series into a bad direction with the DLC. Speaking of the DLC, most of the characters we got are awful with only a couple that I thought were cool to see. Super Smash Bros is supposed to be a fighting/party game where elements from across Nintendo’s different franchises come together and provide the best experience possible. Now it’s like anyone from any video game can get in which ruins it. Luckily they are done with the DLC so they can’t rely on Smash to create hype anymore. But overall, Ultimate is a good game and a great experience if you’re looking for tons of characters and stages. Expand

    Super Smash Bros Ultimate is amazing. The character roster is fantastic. They have so many maps to choose too.

    But, if you ever go into online, you'll see the biggest flaw with the game. From toxic players, to infuriating strategies to play, there's a lot. There's still a lot of good people in the game though.

    The only beef I have with this game is the taunt command. It really is a nuisance and a useless command. In fact it can hurt you more than it can help you if you use it on accident. I would have given this game a 10 if taunt would have been left as a option to turn on or off.

    Best smash game by far, especially if you look at the casual side. The most characters, items, stages, and music, along with many other modes. I personally don't really have a bad time online and the game play is the best in the series so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is insane.
    From the graphics to the soundtrack to the selection of the numerous fighters Sakurai decided to bring back, this game is a must-play for hardcore gamers. Also, the Adventure Mode is spectacular. It's completely underrated and needs to be acknowledged more.
    Simply put, my brothers and I LOVE this game to death and I hope this concludes the "Super Smash Bros" series, especially because it's the "ultimate" game, as well as that final scene with Mario and Sora shaking hands. If that's not a superb way to wrap up a 20+-year franchise, nothing is. Hell, if there was another game announced, it probably won't even compare to this game.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a very fun platform fighter and experience, with an extremely large cast of characters to choose from. From a casual point of view, it has a wide range of character designs and archetypes to play one that fits your personal playstyle, whether it is sniping with Samus, or chasing them down with fox, every experience is refreshing. From a hardcore player's pointSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate is a very fun platform fighter and experience, with an extremely large cast of characters to choose from. From a casual point of view, it has a wide range of character designs and archetypes to play one that fits your personal playstyle, whether it is sniping with Samus, or chasing them down with fox, every experience is refreshing. From a hardcore player's point of view, the cast is balanced excellently and a 'bottom tier' character can beat a 'top tier' character, which allows for one to play a character that they like to try and win rather than the 'meta' character.

    There are so many movement options for both casual and competitive players. A person who just picked up a controller can move around, dodge and counterattack relatively well, because the game allows for fluid movement, and while it isn't quite like SSBM level speed, it is quite nice. A competitive player can learn tech like B-reversing or wave bouncing and wave landing, or character-specific techniques to master the art of a character like Ryu for example.

    My only problem with the game is the single-player campaign and online experience. If a person does not own a LAN adapter, the online matches run at very low frames per second, and input delay almost lasts more than a second at times, making matches frustrating. The campaign isn't all that bad, since there is strategy and kind of like a general RPG, collecting 'spirits' and characters and using them in battle, But it does get repetitive, and since Kirby is the only character available at the first, and much longer to unlock your favorite character, it might not be too fun.

    Overall, solo play and playing with friends on this game is certainly worth it, and I would definitely recommend this game to anyone trying to get into the Fighting Game Community (FGC) or familiar with the Super Smash Bros. franchise, truly a must play.

    If you ask me what the best game to play with friends on the Switch, then Smash is the only answer.
    Over 80 characters, 104 stages not counting the costume one's you can make or download. Tons of game modes including the single player world of light, plus online matches make's this game the best fighting game on Switch.

Ultimate is my favorite entry in the series next to Brawl, but it diffidently has some problems as well. The amount of Fighters and different play styles you can dick around with is really large. I love how buttery smooth the controls feel while playing, particularly on characters like Inkling and Joker. Home-Run Contest is still the best mode in a video game, FIGHT ME. However the game gets a bit stale after you beat adventure mode, (Which feels quite boring and drawn out compared to the subspace emissary) and unlock all the characters. I found myself spending way too much time on the spirit board just waiting around so I could get the spirits I wanted, so I could summon more powerful spirits in order to add them to my collection. This felt like homework, not a game I paid $60 for. Trophies from the previous games have been completely gutted in favor for spirits, which are just simply PNG's of different artworks of charters and items of the different series represented. These don't have any description on who each of the spirits are (Which are really needed for the spirits, because I don't know how the hell half of these guys are), and exist for three reasons, 1. To stick onto your fighter during spirit battles to give yourself buffs, 2. To collect all of them and 3. To put less work into creating trophies. Spirits feel like they would be in a mobile game, not a crossover between Nintendo characters. Thankfully, like all the smash brothers games, the Multiplayer aspect is still really fun, and definitely why you should buy this game, in addition to that, the amount of new music, and music tracks in general is absolutely staggering. The newcomer fighters are definitely my favorite group in the series, but it kind of sucks that you have to buy the DLC to use half of them. I wish there were more options for online, but piss-poor online is one of Nintendo's specialists. In conclusion, this game is best for people who have multiple controllers and love to play co-op, but the single player modes kind of suck. But my favorite smash game is brawl, and I treat Home-Run Contest like a religion, so you probably shouldn't listen to my opinion. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Expand

When this game was first announced, it showed some true promise. A new story mode, the return of every smash character? It was shaping up to be a great thing. But then the game dropped...

    The story mode? What do I have to say, anybody who has played it knows how bad it is. Watching the grass grow in my front lawn is more fun and productive than playing Smash Ultimate story mode will ever be. But hey, maybe the competitive is fun?

    No, in terms of competitive gameplay, it's a mess. With Super Smash Bros brawl, the game was very fair and balanced, and even gave new players a chance. The trip mechanic was a great equalizer for players, since no matter how good you were there was still a chance you might slip up. But in smash ultimate, all players know how to do is pick Steve, a new pay to win character. Yesterday I fought one such player online. He 3 stocked me and proceeded to use the Nintendo Switch Online app to call me poor because I do not own the DLC.

    As the years have gone on on, developers have continued to turn a blind-eye to the fanbases' wants. The game is completely unbalanced, and they keep adding characters such as "Steve," and "Sora" from unknown indie games that I don't think anybody has ever heard of before. Fan favorites such as Goku and Master Chief were completely neglected, and the competitive scene of this game is in complete shambles. Ultimately, this game falls completely short of all expectations, and we can only pray that a HD remaster of Super Smash Brothers Brawl comes out soon.

Short characters without moving will never get hit by F-air, N-air, and B-air. Shields for some people are so weak that can get jab twice and it's broken. Some characters have up smash that will pull you in forcing you into the damage. Getting out of sleep or shield break make no sense . Aww yes just mash all thee buttons. How about just one button rapidly. And many more. Please stop lying to yourself that this is a good game when it's not. Not even close. Expand

    Ther is a reason why they decided to call this smash "ultimate". it has the biggest and most varied roaster, amazing gameplay and also very fun singeplayer side activities. This is THE smash bros game which can be enjoyed by hard core veterans as well as new players (easy to learn hard to master).

    This is the greatest fighting game of all time. Ultimate has enough content to make any video game fan smile. Even with its lackluster story mode, highly requested characters like Sora, Banjo and Steve make the game one of the greatest experiences on the switch.

The stats of every fighter are very balanced with each other, to the point where you'll find yourself beating top tier characters with low tier characters.

    Speaking of that, the roster is very expansive and interesting. Characters like Ridley, K Rool, Banjo & Kazooie, Sora, and more, all characters that have been requested for years, and have finally made it to this game. The overall roster is filled with many characters from several different franchises, which helps celebrate video games as a whole.

    The visuals are good as well. The colors are just right - not as vibrant as Sm4sh, but also not as bleak as Brawl. Each character and stage is visually stunning, with detailed appearances on the characters and fun & interesting stages.

    I don't really have much of a verdict on the online mode, but overall it seems pretty decent to me.

    My ONLY problem with this game is the story mode. I think that World of Light is really fun, but I wish it more cinematic like the Subspace Emissary.

    Other than that, this game is practically perfect. This game has set a new standard for fighting games, and has even inspired other games like Multiversus. This is a must buy for anyone with a Switch.

As a party game that's the ultimate crowd-pleaser, this doesn't disappoint. As a follow-up to all the other Smash games Nintendo has produced, it represents years of fine-tuning and creativity the franchise has to offer. Everything here is massively improved from previous entries. Fight mechanics are much more precise and enjoyable, items are more dynamic yet balanced than ever, and various game modes with spirit introduction add a new layer of gameplay that makes collecting genuinely rewarding.

    For the story mode/World of Light, as repetitive and tedious as the spirit battles can become, it ended up being so enjoyable that I was actually happy to start a New Game +. I do wish there was some more narrative elements and maybe more cutscenes throughout but I can't complain given the amount of areas, battles, and sometimes puzzles to solve.

    There are a couple of complaints I have. One of which is the absence of target smash which was a huge part of melee I really loved. I understand designing unique target smash courses with each of the 64+ characters is a ridiculous feet but maybe making generic stages like in Brawl could've helped. Target Smash was always a great place for me to learn all the character's move sets in a fun and challenging way.

    I'm also disappointed to see so many Fire Emblem characters that don't differentiate themselves from each other all that much. Sorry to the Fire Emblem fans maybe I'm just not a fan of the series that much but I would've loved to see Waluigi, King Boo, another Pokemon, and maybe some others. The re-skins of characters were disappointing as well. Why have Pichu when we already have Pikachu? The moves are the same! Even making a hefty and burly Raichu instead could've mixed things up. The DLC characters however are fantastic and add a great variety I wasn't expecting.

    On the game modes, I would've liked to see a few variations of the bonus stage on classic mode. However, catering the fight experience to each fighter was a nice touch. For the stages, there's more options than ever and one of my favorite features of this game is the battlefield and flat variations of every stage. That is such a brilliant and much needed addition for people that prefer the simple stage layout but want more visual variation.

    Another small nitpick is actually just how easy it is to unlock characters. Literally I felt like I just opened a menu somewhere and I was being challenged. Older games unlocking characters really felt like something special but it doesn't at all in this game.

    Overall, the game is truly fantastic, notwithstanding my nitpicks. It's fun, has so much to offer, and the fun doesn't end when you complete World of Light. I'm still having fun clearing the challenge boards, Spirit boards, and going through NG+. It really is a fantastic game and my personal favorite Super Smash game of all time now.
