    Smash Bros. games have always been the best game to play when sitting on a couch with a bunch of friends when you're out of productive things to do, and Smash Bros. Wii U is certainly no exception.

    For starters, I'd like to point out that Sakurai made the smart decision to actually listen to his fans, which most of the other members of Nintendo don't seem to be doing much recently. The    Smash Bros. games have always been the best game to play when sitting on a couch with a bunch of friends when you're out of productive things to do, and Smash Bros. Wii U is certainly no exception.

    For starters, I'd like to point out that Sakurai made the smart decision to actually listen to his fans, which most of the other members of Nintendo don't seem to be doing much recently. The roster this time around was filled with fan favorites like Shulk, Little Mac, Rosalina, Mega Man, and... Wii Fit Trainer? Some characters seemed a bit strange, but overall the roster is impressive and makes for hours of fun getting to know each character's moveset. Also, Sakurai even decided to bring back "lost characters" who fans wanted back like Mewtwo, Lucas, and Roy as DLC.

    Gameplaywise, the game plays much smoother than Brawl, and while it can still be played casually, it is much more competitively viable than its predecessor. Also, many unfair exploits from previous games such as ledge-hogging have been removed. In addition, it feels way more balanced than any other game in the series, with no extremely overpowered characters like Meta Knight in Brawl.

    While the majority of gamers want Smash Bros. for the purpose of having fun with their friends or getting into the competitive scene, there are those few players who look forward to having fun alone with the solo modes, and that's where this game really falls short. With no adventure mode and nothing that really fills the gap, Smash Bros. Wii U isn't really all that fun to play alone for that long. Recycled modes like Home Run Contest and Multi Man Smash are welcome, but any player who played a decent amount of Melee and/or Brawl probably won't spend much time on them. The new Target Blast and Special Orders modes are decent ideas but feel tacked on, and while the new version of Classic Mode is interesting, it is only fun for so long.

    While the online mode is certainly an improvement over Brawl's, it still is filled with slowdown. Nintendo clearly hasn't been putting enough work into the servers for the game, and thus, in plain terms, they suck. However, the addition of more categories like 1 on 1, etc. makes it much easier to find the right opponent(s) online.

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U may have been disappointing in some areas, but overall is an extremely impressive game that every Wii U owner should have.    … Expand

    My favorite in the series! Everything is amazing! The music, graphics, characters, Final Smashes, everything! My complaint is that there aren't many more modes than Brawl, but the game is still astonishing!

    Super Smash Bros is crazy fun for everyone! You do not need to be a Nintendo fan to enjoy this game, it is a really spectacular fighting game with stunning graphics and a great roster of characters. If you are the type of person who likes to have fun with friends or even some CPU then you'll love smash bros. I wish it had a campaign like Brawl but besides that it is perfect.

But looks mean nothing if the game-play is an absolute joke. But the game play remains as great and as fun to play as it's predecessors. But they take away 2 of my favorite modes; adventure mode and target practice. And a few character tweaks did kind of make me feel a bit disappointed. But hey it's Smash Bros, and it's another great installment, despite it's flaws. The Level Creator could be improved though.… Expand

    Story/Concept: Smash Bros. is a fighting game starring Nintendo characters, but with a twist, you fight on platforms, and to K.O. an opponent, you have to knock them off it.

    Graphics/Design: Colorful, and functions extremely well, I have experienced some lag during online sessions, but other than that, the game runs well. Sound: Kickass soundtrack and I love the announcer's voice.

    Another Nintendo gem of a game. The amount of characters to choose from and battle locations is brilliant. The battles are fun. The colours and level of detail is incredible and it looks beautiful on a HDTV. One of the must-have games on the Wii U.

    As a long time fan of the Smash Bros series. I was more than pleased with this new installment for the Nintendo Wii U. In fact, this was main purpose for my purchase of a Wii U earlier this year, and I can proudly say that I have no regrets.

Super Smash Bros takes everything we loved about the previous games, and makes it even more amazing, with improved visuals running at 1080p, 60fps. The detailed characters, smooth animations, and breathtaking backgrounds truly justify that the Wii U is more than just a "little kids" console. There's 53 playable characters (55 if you want to include the Mii Fighters) ranging from other game series like Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Kid Icarus, and Earthbound (Mother). Also, there's DLC characters like Ryu from Street Fighter and Mewtwo from Pokemon who are also tons of fun to play with as well. You can also purchase more arenas to fight at, as well as costumes for your Mii.

    Super Smash Bros offers a lot of variety when it comes to game modes, with unlockable trophies that true Hardcore Smash Fans will spend hours upon hours attempting to collect. If you start feeling lonely, and you believe that you've trained enough with your favorite character in offline modes. You can take the fight online, and try your best against other players in both ranked, and unranked modes. But i'd highly recommend that you use a Pro Controller. Things will get intense online, and so you'll need something more durable than the GamePad. But not all is great with the online mode... sadly there's a good amount of connection issues, that could lead to extreme lag, or even being booted from a match. Its a real bummer.

    Super Smash Bros offers Amiibo Support. So if you're a collector of those awesome little Amiibos, you can bring them into the fight, and train them into little bad asses.

    Super Smash Bros is a fantastic game, that offers so much for its $60 price tag. If you're a Wii U owner, and you don't own Super Smash Bros.. you really are missing out on one great game.    … Expand

    Smash Brothers 4 is one of the greatest games I've ever played. It combines fighting with the Nintendo universe and it is a very competitive game. Its main point comes from the characters. Each character has its own unique moveset... Ok thats a lie. There are at least 6 clone characters in this game which is very annoying. We don't need Dark Pit, Lucina, Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, Roy, or Lucas.Smash Brothers 4 is one of the greatest games I've ever played.

    That part really draws me back and so does the lack of adventure mode.

    But behind all of those flaws is an amazing fighting game that is part of the best fighting game series. The online was enhanced, Link is actually upper tier, and every character is somewhat balanced.

    This game has the best for a new sequela: you offer the same and more; so that means more characters, modes and stages
    The only one that doesn´t like to me are the prices of its DLCs, too expensives.

It's one of the most popular gaming franchises of all time, and the newest addition to the series, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is easily the best Smash Bros. game next to Melee.

The wide cast of characters is staggering, ranging from Little Mac from Punch-Out, Villager from Animal Crossing, and even Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles! The roster is a definite win. The big new feature is online mode, which features a For Fun mode, where you have regular 4-player matches with items, and your wins and losses aren't recorded. For Glory features Final Destination type stages including 1 on 1 matches with your wins and losses recorded. While these modes can be extremely laggy, and there is no proper ranking system, online mode is definitely great. The 8-player smashes are hectic fun, but it IS easy to lose yourself in all of the chaos normally confusing one character to your own. Most other modes are great, and can steal endless hours away from beating Classic, All-Star, Target Smash, etc.
    SSB4 is an amazing game, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that. There are some technical issues here and there, but it's a fantastic experience for everybody, Smash veterans and newcomers alike. I used to say that Super Mario 3D World was the best Wii U game, no longer the case.

    Looks great, runs great, plays great. Has the best roster in Smash history, especially if you count DLC. Hours of fun that never gets old. Everyone's sad that this game's single player mode is laughable, but the multiplayer- the actual point of Smash- was done so well it hardly matters. Get it, you'll thank me later.

    This game is spectacular. The huge amount of characters added to the game, and even better stage creation! But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's talk about the different aspects of the game.

    A: Music/Sounds Could not be better. I am simply astounded by the amount of music that has been put into the game. You know that Legend of Zelda music that you love so much? That's in it.    This game is spectacular. The huge amount of characters added to the game, and even better stage creation! But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's talk about the different aspects of the game.

    A: Music/Sounds

    Could not be better. I am simply astounded by the amount of music that has been put into the game. You know that Legend of Zelda music that you love so much? That's in it. You know that Super Mario Brothers theme? That's in it. Pretty much all soundtracks (Even some have been remixed) in the history of Nintendo have been added to the game. The voices of all of the characters are great, and the sounds are fluid and top-quality. The music, is perfect.

    10/10

    B: Graphics

    Beautiful. The graphics could not get much better than this. I mean, it doesn't look realistic - but it isn't supposed to be! You don't need graphics to make a game like this amazing, but man - they pulled the graphics off really well. The individual scales on Bowser are visible, the threads on Mario's hat - and the stages look better than they have ever been before. Unfortunately, the graphics aren't the best in the world - the characters are fine, but some of the stages look a little outdated.

    9/10

    C: Gameplay

    Beautiful. An amazing mix of Brawl and Melee. Not too floaty, not too fast. Controlling the characters are very easy, and some characters do require special techniques to work best. For example, Marth does maximum damage when you hit another character with the tip of his sword, whilst Roy does maximum damage when you hit them closer to the hilt of the blade. No matter how much you play the game, you can still get better. You can still learn. And thanks to the great Amiibo support, you can even have someone learn with you! I haven't even mentioned the monstrous amount of stages and Characters. It will probably take you over a day to try them all out properly! They really excelled at this. I can't see how they could have improved it at all.

    10/10

    D: Online

    Unfortunately, they didn't do all that well with this. But of course, I have never really been much of an online gamer - so I barely touched this. There's lag during the online matches (generally because of the other person's bad connection) and the tourneys are really strange as well. You can't play as Miis or use your custom stages, but I can understand why you can't do that. But I would have really enjoyed playing as my Mii. I'm not going to get into the DLC, but let me tell you that it is amazing what they have added.

    5/10

    Overall, Super Smash Brothers. for Wii U is an amazing game that can still be enjoyed for generations to come. I can't wait to see what more DLC they will add, before they have to depart. I've definitely played my fair share of the game. It has surpassed its predecessors, by a long mile. I'll always love the Super Smash Brothers Series, and I think this will always be my favourite, even after the next one comes out.    … Expand

    I've been waiting for this game ever since it was announced, and boy, was I not disappointed. This is recommended for anyone who loves the Smash bros series, Nintendo, fighting games, or just have a Wii U.

This    I've been waiting for this game ever since it was announced, and boy, was I not disappointed. This is recommended for anyone who loves the Smash bros series, Nintendo, fighting games, or just have a Wii U.

    In this game, several Nintendo characters (along with some third party characters) from different franchises face-off in stages based on areas from games in their own series. This isn't like any normal fighting game, you must rack up their damage percentage high, then try to knock them off the edge. There's 3 modes you can play: Time, Stock, and Coins.
    In time, you must try to KO as many opponents as you can. KO someone, and you get a point, get KOd yourself, and you lose a point. At the end, whoever has the most points wins. If two or more fighters have the same point, they must compete in a Sudden Death, where their damage percentage are at 300, with Bob-ombs raining down on them eventually. The winner is the last one standing.
    Stock is basically "last man standing". Each characters will have a stock, which is their life, and loses one whenever they get KO. Whoever's the last one standing wins.
    Coin is where you must collect as much a coin as possible before time runs out. You can get money by attacking the opponents.

    The roster in this game, is huge and diverse. And is only getting more bigger and diverse via DLC. There are many characters from different Nintendo franchises you can play as. Including some veterans from past games like Mario, Link, Samus, Marth, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, Charizard, Fox, Peach, Bowser, Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Zelda & many more.. Several newcomers are added into the fray, most of which were what the fans were asking for. The newcomers include characters like Villager, Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina & Luma, Little Mac, Greninja, Palutena, Miis, and more!
    Aside from Nintendo characters, there are also some third party characters in the game. There's Sega's Sonic, Capcom's Mega Man & Ryu (Who's a DLC), Namco's Pac-Man, and the upcoming Square Enix's Cloud.

    The game is mostly known for its online play. You can play with friends, or with anyone.
    With anyone have two modes you can play: For Fun, and For Gory.
    For Fun is for casuals. Here, all stages except Final Destination will be picked randomly, with all items enabled. You can play free for all, or team battle.
    For Glory is, you guessed it, for competitive players. Here, only Final Destination variation of stages are played here, and you also have a option a 1-on-1 2-stock battle.
    There's more modes in online to choose. Spectate allows you to watch other fights, and you can bet on who you think will win. They also added a Replay channel, so you can watch replays for certain characters, mode, or style. There's also online tournaments you can take part of. You can even make your own tournament.

    There's a lot of trophies and music to collect, and lots of modes to play.

    Overall, best game of 2014, and the best game on the Wii U so far!    … Expand

    With over 58 characters, 55 stages, balanced and fun gameplay, great presentation and much much more, Super smash bros for wii u is my opinion the best game in the entire series.

    STORY: The story of super smash bros is more a theory than anything else. Basicly what people say is that a kid has a few toys and super smash bros is how the kid sees this toys when he plays with them.    With over 58 characters, 55 stages, balanced and fun gameplay, great presentation and much much more, Super smash bros for wii u is my opinion the best game in the entire series.

    STORY: The story of super smash bros is more a theory than anything else. Basicly what people say is that a kid has a few toys and super smash bros is how the kid sees this toys when he plays with them.

    PRESENTATION: Super smash bros had never looked so good. Like always the 60 fps is smooth and this is actually the first smash game to ever been on HD 1080p and i looks sooooo good. Some of the textures may look bland at first, but when you are fighting and concentrating on your opponent and seeing the other great textures, models and effects, the semi-bland textures go unnoticed. The soundtrack is also legendary, with so many remixes, orchestra, original music and all of these from so many franchises that some one can argue that this is one of the greatest soundtracks of all time and honestly i agree. A solid presentation for an even more solid gameplay!.

    GAMEPLAY: Super smash bros for wii u has not only a lot of characters and stages, but also a lot of different modes and collectables.

    First we the typical smash mode where you choose a character, a stage and the you battle it out in 3 different ways. The time mode, the stock mode (the one that you should always use) and the coin mode, all of these are good ways to play with friends of the other 3 cpu's you can play against with or without items. AH! but that's not all of the cpu's you can battle against, since the wii u version has 8 player smash...pretty self explanatory.

    We also have other modes like smash tour, which is basicly mario party mode. Or other more interesting like classic mode, where you are in like this board and to activate a battle you approach an enemy, you the defeat them in a, rinse and repeat with different rules every round, until you get to the fighting me section and then finally defeat master hand or master hand + crazy hand or master hand + crazy hand + master core...depending on the difficulty you choose.

    All stars is also back, this is basicly arcade mode, where you fight enemies to fight the ones at the end, pretty freaking cool and also pretty freaking hard.

    Other modes include event mode, where you have to complete challenges to get rewards. Master and crazy orders is a mode where you complete different challenges with different rules to get rewards and in crazy hand case, you actually fight him and if you loose, you loose a bunch of collectables.

    Speaking of collectables, smash wii u has trophies that you get by buying them of playing other modes, you can use them to do some pretty cool pictures.

    We also have training, multi-man smash, target blast and the home run contest to earn rewards, money, trophies, and custom moves...oh yeah i forgot about custom moves, in each mode you can have the opportunity to get customizable moves for every fighter, basicly you can make every character have any move that you want and give them equipment to increase their status and give the special abilities...a custom fighter!, if you have amiibo you can also give it custom moves and equipment.

    Another fun mode is trophy rush, you put money to get more time and you spend that time eliminating boxes to get (obviously) trophies, equipment, money and custom moves, thrust me when you are going for custom moves, this mode is essential. The final modes are stage builder (self explanatory) and master pieces, the latter being a mode where you can play classic NES and SNES games, it's really cool.

    The core mechanics of smash are still the same, you can jump, attack, smash attack and do special moves and to do different moves you use the analog stick in different directions, very simple and veeeeery addicting mechanics.

    Overall ith great presentation, gameplay, music, mechanics, graphics, replay-value and many many many other things smash for wii u gets a 10/10. A great game and believe when i say this...i only covered only like 70% of this game, so needless to say if you have a wii u, yo should definitely pick this one up.

    Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a perfect example of a game that you can play with your friends, family, or just by yourself. It offers over 50 playable characters from many different Nintendo game like Super Mario, Pokemon, The Legend of Zelda, etc. and many other franchises.

    In my opinion. This is one of my favorite games available.

The roster is as good as it's ever been, bringing in amazing new characters and even expanding to DLC characters, all in which are great. While it was disappointing to see the Ice Climbers or Snake get cut, the roster remains as good as ever. There is a solid selection of stages that do a great job of recapping Nintendo's recent history and the returning stages cover Nintendo's history from before brawl. There is a satisfying amount of single player content as well. The game works surprisingly well with 8 players as well. While it can get chaotic, that's the fun of it. Overall, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U does a great job at fixing whatever problems Brawl had and did even better at adding to it. I highly recommend this to any Smash fan or players new to the series.… Expand

The framerate and speed are great at 60 FPS or 30 FPS for some Pokemon and Assist Trophies. The DLC is so awesome. I have some costumes, and all stages/characters. I think Cloud and Ryu are a great addition to the series, as well as some returning ones from Melee and Brawl such as Roy, Lucas, and Mewtwo. This has GOT to be one of the best and if not the best release title from Nintendo in 2014. I have played well over 100 hours, that is a tremendous amount. Smash Tour is okay but Smash Run is better IMO. The extra stadium modes, Classic, All-Star, Events, etc. are all great modes. 8-Player Smash, what more can you say about that, it is my favourite mode as of this review. The Stage Builder is better than Brawl's IMO, although I kinda wish they brought the Conveyer Belts back because of the music which the music is also great btw but I think Battlefield Melee (Melee Original and the Brawl Remix), Opening SSBM (Brawl), and Multi Man Melee 1 should have made it. Everything else is also good. Overall, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a great game and you should TOTALLY buy this and the 3DS Game together as well as the DLC.

    Unlike Melee, which favored competitive players, and Brawl, which favored casual ones, Smash 4 strikes a perfect balance between the two. With practice, an amateur player like me can do decently during online play... for you super-dedicated players out there, there are so many advanced techniques to learn with every character out there. I'm not sure anyone can get bored playing this game, be he/she a completely casual newcomer or a diehard video game fan.

    Oh, and did I mention the music? THE MUSIC!!! Oh, it was so, so amazing. I would've bought the game if all it did was play music. I am truly enamored with it.

    My ONLY complaint about the game- and I mean only - is the lack of a story mode. Classic and All-Star work fine, and the new Master/Crazy Orders modes are fun, but they just don't live up to Brawl's Subspace Emissary. That's the only reason I'd ever play Brawl again after playing this game.

The aspect of having fun while building the stage was all removed. There's minimal springs and contraptions that you can add, I looked thorough the electronic manual, and I can't figure out the lava, and it's so difficult to build a box that people can have access to the inside without it saying, "Any area where fighters can't use as ground were deleted."

There are lots of new characters as well, such as Bowser Jr., Duck Hunt, Rosalina, Villager, and more, as well as DLC characters such as Ryu and Mewtwo. The main attraction has to be the online mode. You can choose between "for fun", which has normal stages and items, and "for glory" which has the flat stages and no items. While the online mode is a HUGE improvement over Brawl's, it can get really laggy to the point where it is unplayable. However, most of the time it is fine. Another feature I like is if anyone quits the battle, they can't play online for another 15 minutes, that means nobody will drop out in the middle of a match. This game is just about perfect.

Meanwhile, the competitive aspect continues to evolve. While I don't foresee Smash 4 getting anywhere near as technical as Melee simply because of the lack of tech, there IS plenty of room for the meta to go. The sheer number of character allows the game to be focused more on matchups and opens the strategy for using multiple characters to succeed. The game may be the 2nd most balanced in the series behind Project M but does have its flaws as patches can significantly hurt characters and most of the DLC have proven to be the tops in the game, leading to the pay-to-win strategy. Personally, I lack interest in Classic and All-Star modes in this installment and found Smash Tour, the new mode to Smash 4, to be an awful attempt at a Mario Party recreation.

    El juego de peleas definitivo de nintendo, es todo lo que esperaba, un juego divertido, con una cantidad muy buena de personajes y con un montón de modos de juego. es uno de esos juegos para jugar con amigos, sea de forma casual o competitiva, es diversión asegurada. a lo único que le doy en falta es a un modo historia y a un mejor online.

    The graphics are incredible. it makes the game really stand out. most of the stages are really cool and are amazing choices for stages. the characters are really cool as well.

    The only reason why I say this isn't a 10 is because we did get quite a bit of clones and some stages are pretty bad like 75m. also i'm pretty bad at playing smash bros as a whole but, they are minor nit picks so    The graphics are incredible. it makes the game really stand out. most of the stages are really cool and are amazing choices for stages. the characters are really cool as well.

    As a fightning game, Smash 4 does a great job. It has a HUGE roster with Nintendo's most popular characters, as well as some 3rd-parties, such as Sonic and Pacman. The battle pace feels very neat, and the music selection is great. The game modes are very fun and collecting trophies never gets old.

But the game's pros largely outweigh its flaws, and I really love it.… Expand

    Un Super Smash Bros en HD, con hasta ocho luchadores en un mismo escenario, aún así el juego va muy fluido, es una gran obra aunque no deja de recordar mucho a los anteriores Super Smah Bros el detalle de decenas de escenarios y luchadores es un plus añadido, espero que mejoren algún dia la obra maestra Melee de GC, bajo mi punto de vista, el mejor.

    Super Smash Bros for Wii U is the Smash Bros game that you should be playing. The fourth installment of this fighting games series manages to be a good balance of fun and competitive play unlike the previous games in the franchise.

The fourth installment of this fighting games series manages to be a good balance of fun and competitive play unlike the previous games in the franchise. No longer do you have to suffer terrible physicals and clunky controls with Melee, or floating heavy characters and slipping up in Brawl, or the heavily simplistic gameplay of Smash Bros on the N64.

    The character selection here is pretty good with the exception of maybe the exception of Lucina who has no difference from Marth. You can also expand the character roster with the seven DLC characters. You can play as some of the all time Nintendo classics like Mario, Donkey Kong, Link and Yoshi. You can play as some familiar faces that have been long gone like Little Mac or the Duck Hunt Dog. You can even play as Characters outside of Nintendo like Sonic, Mega Man, Pac Man, Cloud, Ryu and Bayonetta. Without a doubt, there will be a character on this roster who you will recognize and love playing as.

    The stages in Smash Bros on Wii U is a pretty good line up for both fun and competitive play. Also returning are N64 stages, which have seen a return since Melee. Whilst a couple of these stages may be taken right out of previous entries, there are also a good number of new stages. Some of them though I do feel are a little too big. The reason for this is the 8 player mode, where you can have up to 8 controllers connected for absolute mayhem. Speaking of controllers, this game has so many controller options. This includes, Gamepad, Wiimote, Wiimote with numchuck, Wii U Pro Controller, Wii Classic Controller, GameCube controller and even the 3DS. No matter what play style you use, you won't feel left out here. The online here is also far improved, meaning the only time you will play with someone and have bad connection is when either you or your opponent has bad connection, rather than with Wii's online where 2 minute matches could take 10 minutes.

    One thing I will complain about it some of the extra modes. Smash Tour is the most unwanted mode in this game. The only reason why someone would play this mode is to complete some of the challenges on the challenge sheet. Smash Tour is not very fun, and I would not recommend playing. Just stick to regular Smash for multiplayer. Smash Bros on Wii U also lacks a sub space emissary. This was all because Sakurai worried about people uploading cutscenes online. Whilst I understand it was probably for the best of developing the main part of the game being the fighting, it is sort of a let down from Brawl.

    Otherwise, this game is great! I would probably hold off buying a Wii U in case they announce a port for the Switch with new content, or a brand new Smash Bros entirely. If for some reason you manage to obtain a Wii U, Super Smash Bros is the game to have.    … Expand

    Lacks a story mode but apart from that this is a great party game to play with friends. If you're into nintendo characters you will have a great time. The combat system is identical to the earlier titles, which is not a downside whatsoever, since you don't see it in any other game.

The moment I purchased this game at my local store and took it back home for me to play, I nearly sobbed once I found that there was no subspace emissary 2. They also removed one of the fan favorites: Snake from metal gear solid, which was kind of a bummer. But I guess they're just doing what they think is right.

    Nintendo included tons more modes, including some of the originals from classic smash installments. SSB4 is also compatible with your amiibo so if you have a collection at home, go give it a try! They also introduced a whole new set of OC's to the roster so if you're looking for the perfect game, smash 4 is no exception.    … Expand

    This is the best game in the series. Mostly everything is there, the roster is huge, and the only things I can think of that are bad are smash tour, and the customs feel too much like the originals in some cases. Other than that, there is a lot of content in this game and I hope this gets ported to switch, it would be awesome.

    Game Play 9/10
    Easily the best smash game game play wise with it hitting a perfect middle ground with its speed as the speed is right in between brawls slower game play and melee very frantic fast paced game play.Other than speed its mostly the same fun fighting action but with more Items,characters,and stages than ever before.If i were to say one flaw it would be that i find it to easy to recover from being hit of the edge than previous installments meaning that the intense suspense of seeing if your opponent will make it back is mostly gone.

    Controls 9/10
    The controls are most of the time perfect smooth and satiating especially wen you deliver a smash attack to your foe. I am docking a point because of the abundance of online lag with the controls so its not necessarily the controls themselves.

    Music 8/10
    A solid soundtrack but it mostly is songs from other games.I understand its a crossover but i wish that they would still have more original pieces because the ones they do have is some of the best music in the game.I really hope there is more original tunes for smash 5

    Worth The Price Yes
    This game is defiantly worth the 60 dollar price tog with its tons of side not main battle content like events,classic mode,all star mode,smash tour,Master and crazy orders,and tons of other modes to keep you satisfied for a long time along with the always active online community.
