    This game has been painstakingly crafted to appeal to the best of both worlds in terms of the casual and competitive scene.

Each character brings it's own unique flavor to battles, with strengths and weaknesses. This has the best roster balance out of any Smash game, making every character feel viable in their own sense. The speed of fights are just right, feeling like anyone can pick it up, yet still allowing the competitive scene to go absolutely nuts with it. Spirits are a cool concept that you can have some fun with, yet feel like they can easily be sidelined. World of Light and the Online mode have some legitimate problems. World of Light is a cool collection of specialized fights around certain characters, but is very repetitive and doesn't have very much payoff in the end. NIntendo doesn't understand what makes good online. The entire experience feels like everything is delayed, making it slower than normal, not to mention the freeze-ups if one of the players has sub-par internet. However, to me, a 10/10 doesn't mean a perfect game, though it will be amazing. A game can receive a 10/10 from me depending on what it represents. The lineage of this series, combined with what this game coming out means to me, combined with the amazing memories it has given me, means it clearly deserves a perfect score, even with a few problems that barely detract from the core experience.… Expand

    The best Smash game after Melee. Amazing roster.. absolute legendary cast of characters. "It's Video Games: The Game" to quote MaximilianDood. And it absolutely is. I love how balanced the game is for amount of characters in it. The mechanics are very good imo, this is the best I've felt playing Smash since the good old days if Melee.

    O melhor jogo Smash Bros com toda a certeza. Jogo muito diversificado com muitos modos e muita customização. Os desenvolvedores vem sempre atualizando e equilibrando os personagens, com também ótimos personagens de DLC. Apenas não dou a nota dez pela falta de alguns modos que haviam em outros jogos e fazem falta nesse.

    Super Smash Bros: Ultimate is a Masterpiece. I love that they put some effort on the story mode, it's not a mortal kombat 9 type story, but it is a decent rpg type story that have's a unique, original, and weird rpg mechanic. And the amount of characters in this game is overwhelming. And you can also create your own arenas to fight, this game is AWESOME!!!. Please buy this game NOW!!!!!.

I was very surprised at how even my friends who do not play games at all were able to jump right into a fight and have fun. Though the game's mechanics are actually quite complex and the lack of a proper tutorial to learn them all is puzzling, it is an amazing party game, especially considering the amount of different modes and rules you can set.

You start out with the original 8 characters from super smash bros on the n64, and if you play a lot of classic mode, then you’ll unlock all the characters pretty quickly. I set out to clear classic mode with every character, and I found that whenever you beat classic mode for the first time with a character, you unlock a new one. Speaking of new characters, HOLY MOLY they put in almost every highly requested character. Ridley, king k rool, banjo kazooie, Minecraft Steve. And with the mii costumes, we got sans and cuphead.

    The adventure mode isn't my favorite and it lacks trophies, but in the end, those are minor gripes. Smash Ultimate is a fighter, and as a fighter it has everything you could want where it counts: every character from past smash games return, whilst many new ones make their debut, stage selection is immense meanwhile the balanced feel of smash 4 is still there.

Not only is it packed with content, but it has an entertaining and balanced fighting system with patches and changes implemented every few weeks. As well as this, it is with ease in my opinion the best couch multiplayer game you could play, at least on current-gen consoles. There are so many modes, Adventure and Spirit Board are new additions, while favorites like Classic Mode and Special Smash return with more options than ever. The AI is considerably better for us loners, while in Smash 4 the highest difficulty was the same fighting experience as fighting a dead person, in this installment there can be at least some challenge found at the higher settings. So 1, it's the best Smash and 2, it's portable! In HD? It's not on the 3DS and it has the fastest action since Melee? How did I give it a 9 and not a 10?! Well my friend, you have three wishes. Nintendo. Granted. Switch. Granted. Online? Granted. Nintendo Switch Online is a problem. It is priced well, it is incredibly affordable at a mere £18 a year, it comes with free NES and SNES games, but the online multiplayer service, oh it ain't too hot. Lag. This has lag. Making the game unplayable at times, when players are from different countries. Well, that's it. Super Smash Bros.

    It's kinda sad that people can be blind and stupid enough to give this game a 10, because if it wasn't called ''Super Smash Bros'' this would received a merely 7 overall by most people. So fanboys can be fanboys anyway.

So fanboys can be fanboys anyway.

    I grew up with Smash 64, then Melee and Brawl (skipped the one on Wii U).

    There was always a possibility to have fun and compete with several lvl 9 CPU without looking it unfair. But in Ultimate, it's exactly the opposite.

    Although I had fun in the Classic mode, the Adventure mode is pure trash (not talking about comparing with Subspace or anything). Outside the fact that there is no story, no cinematic or stuff like in Brawl, there is also no fun to just have constant battle against random CPU to save Spirits that most of the time won't give you any bonuses (so why the **** would you save them ?). And the **** loading screens all the time, even if they are 3 seconds ! Surely they could have found a way to make it faster because it just makes everything feels slow.

    I think also it's such a cheap way to add ''challenge'' in fights in Adventure mode to put stuff like ''floor is lava'', ''bombs everywhere that kills you because the 3 others CPUs are constantly throwing them at you'' or ''Sonic giving you 25HP hits in stamina mode where you deal only 4HP damages with smash attacks''. Like, what the **** happened with the devs ? Where in their mind did they actually thought this could be a fun challenge ? It is not. It's lame because it's not like we had an AI system that was not working in the previous game, so why changing it to make it frustratingly hard ?

    I played for 2h of the World of Garbage Light and decided to quit because I had enough. It is purely sad since I played hundreds of hours with the previous games, and here I think I'll just go with the classic and solo fights. I could do the Adventure mode in Melee 25 times without being bored, doing the Subspace many times either, but **** World of Light, seriously. But I am happy for you if you have fun with it, since I don't.

    The controls and hitboxes are honestly not that good, and someone in the reviews (IFeelScammed) pointed something really important : you seem to miss your opponent a lot when you fight, whereas they seem to always hit you perfectly, even on LVL5. That's what I call unfair challenge. I don't see the point of playing a fighting game where the only thing you have to do is purely to ''smash'' your controller until you beat your opponent. Even if it's an arcade-like game, it doesn't mean it has to be clunky and superficial. You also don't have a lot of flow-opportunity when you fight, since some fighters are clearly slow and not fluid in their attacks/combos possibilities.

    I am also not really found of playing with items and Ultimate seems to constantly play on that (World of Light).

    So this game can be quite fun for sure, but the adventure mode is a lazy way to add content to the game, I don't give a **** about spirits and assist stuff, they are there to just balance the fact that the challenges are unfair. That's cheap.

    I didn't talk about the online mode because I haven't (and won't) try it because I know Nintendo don't care about making a good online mode for any of their games (except, strangely, MK Wii lol).

    So there you go, **** the critics that gives Nintendo games 9-10/10 because they don't deserve it, they are lazy. What's the point of making a fighting game if you don't have fun fighting ?    … Expand

Did I mention that 8 players can join in this chaos?

    What I hated. Where's my Crash Bandicoot? Not everyone made it but that doesn't discredit the sheer amount of hard work that it took for such a game to exist. There are many things to do but they all devolve to the basics and at it's heart, this is still a fighting game. Every mini game is defeat 20 Yoshi's or whack a giant Pikachu. There's a story here but it falls back to its base, meaning, it's just a 100 match campaign with a boss or two at the end.

    What I loved. Playing with friends, like all it's previous titles. There's just nothing else similar to this scale. This falls under must own.

    Is the Switch installment of Smash really the Ultimate one? Not really. First off, unless you have other people to play with, this game is worthless. The multiplayer is amazing, with more stages to pick from than any previous game, as well as the ability to have up to 8 players and select Battlefield and Flat variants of every stage.

First off, unless you have other people to play with, this game is worthless. The multiplayer is amazing, with more stages to pick from than any previous game, as well as the ability to have up to 8 players and select Battlefield and Flat variants of every stage.

    First off, the single player is bad. The multiplayer is where you're going to get your money's worth, up until the next one comes out (which it will, Nintendo isn't going to end a popular franchise, no matter what subtitle it has). World of Light lacks platforming stages and is a bunch of gimmick fights. Classic mode keeps changing the difficulty instead of staying on the same one like the other games do. And I forget the other things because they're not as important.

    One huge positive is the variety of options, including plenty of languages to change into. Compared to the other games, you'll at least get something out of those.

    The problems begin when you replay matches and stages- you need to select characters and colors again every single time. You need to select the song (from a long list) every single time unless you want it randomized. You need to come up with rulesets and save them and remember which ones are which, and it's a hassle. The game is notoriously full of input lag. And there are so many characters, it might take a while to choose or even just find which character you want.

    Then there's the online mode. The online mode is terrible and certainly no For Glory from Smash 4. First off, it's 1-on-1 only, meaning you have to wait in a lobby instead of matches being instant. They got this right in the previous one, and now they change it to something much worse? And if you play in handheld mode and your Switch falls asleep, not waking it up will kick you out of the lobby and back to the start. You wait and wait, all to lose to someone who plays the game constantly and destroys you in an instant. The online input lag doesn't help either. It's so severe, it even changes the tier lists and allows slower, but more powerful characters to be better than they should. And I should stress, the Wii U's online was free! And the experience was better!

    And the character choices, don't get me started. There are too many third party characters, some from games exclusive or mainly played on consoles other than Nintendo. This is diluting the identity of Smash and making me less excited for new character announcements. And despite the endless discussions of which new character should be included on forums, this is how the hierarchy works: Creators > Investors > Japanese Fans > Everyone else. Chances are, the choices of you and your colleagues aren't making it in unless they're desperate to sell a new installment or a new season pass. Especially given how expensive new characters are, they aren't worth buying DLC for. You might get your choice once in a while, and usually when a new installment comes out.

    Overall, not a bad game on its own, but one that has soured me on the series.    … Expand

    The most ambitious Smash Bros game every, its amazing how many content this game has. From the characters, the scenarios and music. I felt very disappointed with the story mode, it was fight after fight with no many cutscenes and interaction between the characters. The boss fights were the best part of the campaing. I just enjoyed Smash Bros Brawl more just for the story mode.

    Gráficos: los gráficos son sobresalientes, los personajes y los escenarios están muy bien pulidos. Los escenarios poseen un dinamismo excepcional, variando el fondo a lo largo de la batalla con guiños icónicos de cada una de las sagas.

    Bando Sonora: de lo mejor que hay en el mercado, posee los mejores temas de cada una de las sagas, añadiendo epicidad a las batallas.

    Dificultad: la inteligencia artificial no presenta un gran reto para el jugador experimentado, pero si es un buen reto para los nuevos jugadores.

Never the less I found it enjoyable. It gave a lot of grind to the game. Something that made me feel I really got a lot of value out of the game.

    This is the game of the year. So many games for this price tag have only a small fraction of content this game has. It has been a long, loong time since I found a game with so much enjoyable content in it. Even at full price you get a lot of bang for your buck. Best game for the switch right now, hands down.

    The best Smash to date and Melee is one of my favorite games ever where this game tops it. The game has lots of content from the world of light story mode. The soundtrack of the game is amazing especially the gameplay mechanics such as mastering the dodge, shield and attack, grab button in order to become a pro.. Has tons of content such as 75 characters with an extra dlc charactersThe best Smash to date and Melee is one of my favorite games ever where this game tops it. The game has lots of content from the world of light story mode. The soundtrack of the game is amazing especially the gameplay mechanics such as mastering the dodge, shield and attack, grab button in order to become a pro.. Has tons of content such as 75 characters with an extra dlc characters coming from season pack. I loved the game a lot because today I finished the game and it took me more than 40 hours to finish the game. The best thing is that you can play the game anywhere since it is portable.
    Recommends the game to all Smash veterans because this game is everything a fan wants it to be from a Smash game.    … Expand

    Online play is still kind of a mess, but the other essentials of a great Super Smash Bros. game are all here and turned up to 11. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features a sprawling but balanced roster, with a huge variety of gameplay options and modes. There's something here for everyone.

    There have simply been the world's strongest battles and attacks throughout this game.

    What could have been a 10 gets dragged down to a 6 by a bad online and season pass that wants to be paid upfront mimicking greedy companies with characters that get selected in an arbitrary manner. Final score is 8.

    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!
