Some of these gimmicky 13k spirit power fights are rage inducing but it feels good to finally beat them!

Didn't see this thread before. Belmonts+Isabelle main here. Both characters are beasts, from Isabelle's ways of toying with the adversary (Gyroid and fishing rod are always a good laugh) the Belmonts' insane reach, power and anti-air play.
This is the Smash i'm enjoying the most, and that's saying something. Sometimes it makes me forget i have more games on my switch.
Also, gotta love the treatment Castlevania gets. One can only imagine what Sakurai would do with Final Fantasy if Squenix weren't so stingy.

Is it me or is this game fuckin' hard? This is, dare I say it? The Dark Souls of Smash.

It is. The IA is amazing and is obviously based on pro Melee players (Sheik in high levels is INSANE)
Nah, it's ok. It’s nothing groundbraking but it could easily be the best Smash adventure mode: Not ridiculously scarce like Melee's nor overdesigned like Brawl's. It’s a contextualized event mode, and really fun.

I'm absolutely loving playing Simon/Richter now online. It took me a bit to get used to them, but I'm having a blast now.
So far, my favorites are:
- Samus / Dark Samus
- Simon / Richter
- Ganondorf
- Donkey Kong
- Wii Fit Trainer
I also finally completed all the challenges and 100% of World of Light on the hardest setting. I couldn't believe how strangely easy Olimar makes all the fights in that mode...by the end of the game, he is insanely strong!! (He somehow gets a crazy damage boost on seemingly any melee attack featuring his Pikmin.)
I still have yet to play this game online with any friends. Hopefully that can change soon!

I have to agree. By the halfway point, I was bored to tears and just wanted the damn thing to end. The final sequence was good and all but the mode lasted about 10 hours too long (ended with 15 hours) for what it is. Its basically re-skinned event matches and while I really enjoy event matches, i'd prefer if they kept it down to 50 to 100 of them, not 400+ of them. The only reason I continued the pain of completing it was because of what you unlock at the end (which honestly wasn't really worth it but I had committed too much time to the mode when I started having second thoughts.). It's better than the nothing that we got in Smash 4 but out of Melee and Brawl's adventure it was the least enjoyable for me.

Finally the single player got me hooked and made me play again for new game+. Played on easy of course.
This game still reeks of laziness though so I hope the next game has at least better graphics (dk anyone?).

It was only a matter of time. Why does it look worse than the Smash 4 version though?

I might have to buy a second Switch if the Project Ultimate mod is good and gets decently popular. Typically I don't like the idea of modding a system during its life but Project Ultimate might get me to change my mind...

It will honestly vary depending on the spirit. Usually anything 3 or especially 4 stars is pretty good, but also the more support spirit slots the better. (Also, just a big tip...Olimar strangely gets incredibly strong in World of Light. I was eventually able to crush nearly any challenge with him even on the hardest difficulty...including the last bosses.)
Shouldn't this thread be in Communities or somethingAilynn or am I misunderstanding Neogafs layout?
I believe it should be there, too...but I wasn't aware of that possibility when I created this topic (as it was my first one.) I'll send the mods a request to move it over - Thank you so much!

Hi, I have a question: what maps from Super Smash U/3DS are missing from Ultimate. And better yet because it supposedly is "ultimate" what maps from previous Super Smashes?

I agree. I equip spirits according to the situation (like anti poison, anti fog, anti screen flip) and thats it. My spirits are very high level. Besides that I just auto equip. Whet else is there no know?

At first I did but once I started unlocking 4 star spirits and more characters it became an easy but long grind. Only unfair matchups, like 1 vs 6 projectile spamming opponents, were super annoying.

Believe it or not I played like most of Smash games and still suck. Maybe because I just play them when the lads gather up. The only fighting game I’m super at is my beloved KoF

I just think the game is a little too overpowered and World of Light gets a little too repetitive. Classic mode is great though with the boss fights. I just do not think that if you do not attack for a little while you can one hit kill, a lot too overpowered. World of Light needs some remixing, not the ability to get spirits that make you overpowered, ruins the challenge. Spirits are just a excuse to give you upgrades. Most of them have little thought into them. Should be about skill, not how can you make yourself overpowered.

Reminder for all folks that your last chance to get Piranha Plant is coming up in a few days. You need to make sure you register your physical game before that day to qualify and they'll mail you it. Digital folks should get an email within 10 days of when they purchased it. If it isn't in your email, gotta contact Nintendo about it.

I'll give piranha plant a shot but afterwards I'm probably gonna take a break from Ultimate and do some Melee plus other games. I have a decent sized backlog and lately I just haven't been having fun with ultimate.

I'm surprised K. Rool got several nerfs -- he wasn't really turning out to be the powerhouse he'd been initially expected to be.
Inkling's bury time got reduced, as literally everyone wanted.
No changes to my Belmonts. Completely fair -- those characters are well-balanced IMO. The terrible recovery is frustrating but it's a necessary tradeoff for their stage space domination.
Piranha Plant is a fun, zany character! Tilting the flowerpot seems like it'd be too slow in an actual game. Will be interesting to see how good players make use of that.

Man, I had planned to get the Japanese version of the game so I wouldn't have to listen to Ryu and Joker's godawful English voices but the Japanese version doesn't have Bayonetta's English VA. Looks like I'm stuck with the US version after all. I really wish they had done it like SFV.
