Love this game, from the improvements from Smash 4 to the Light World campaign. All of the characters feel much more balanced, it's nice to have characters like Zelda and Donkey be competitive again. BUT! Online makes me want to drive my head into a 3 brick wide wall, 3 wide just to make sure I die from my injuries trying to break it down. It's incredibly inconsistent, not just from match to match, but second to second within each match. This is a huge portion of the game for me since I love playing against all different types of players and styles, and it is 100% garbage. Unless they fix this I don't see me playing it much into the new year.

The only place this game shines is as a couch game with friends. There's a world of fun customization options for you and your friends to dive into. Beyond that, the fun stops. There are a number of World of Light fights that I'm pretty sure were never actually tested. They're completely unfun, and you spend your time praying for good RNG or broken AI instead of actually fighting. The online matchmaking is awful, and you're often put into rulesets you didn't ask for. And the overall character balance leaves a bit to be desired. Great that you included so many characters in the game, but you're essentially throwing all hopes of ever balancing it out the window. Is that really worth the tradeoff? Sadly, this is a completely forgettable and passable SSB game.

Its chaos everywhere The programming changed The camera has changed The new DLC characters are OP AF Strait up not having fun with it anymore. The 1player modes from Melee are still the best ones. Even the 3Ds version had better 1player modes. The variety of characters is awesome, but also not awesome. People online are very rude, sometimes there are open rooms where people are just waiting to essentially torture the next player that jumps in. They will gang up on the new player, forcing them to die quickly. And then they will mock that player by constantly making their characters T-bag the floor or taunt if it's enabled. And the player cannot simply leave the match, so they are forced to wait out possibly a 5 minute timer of doing literally nothing. Who thought that this was fun? This game is just not fun. A waste of money.

The latency in this game made it a trashfire for me personally. Yeah I'm coming from a melee background. And if you tell me I'm spoiled I'll tell you that things should get better not worse and you're the reason searching for a movie on amazon and netflix sucks. Because scrolling to a file in an alphabetically list and clicking it which takes 2 seconds was somehow, to you, less preferable than taking 7 minutes to get your tv remote to painstakingly land on Twilight on your streaming services when you were actually trying for Titanic. Admit it, the Apple spearheaded gaudy-square ui that infects everything now was more preferable to your lazy narcissism than selecting from simple raw data and that's why we're all doomed. That's why capitalism is allowed to take away user's right to easily perform maintenance on their own devices. They distracted you with an Idiocracy level ui where you can push pretty buttons and you gave up the entire logic center of your brain with no complaint. ANYWAY I have beef with a bunch of Ultimate. Here's a main one: Screwing with the screen in 50 different ways during play is not a game mechanic. It's bad game design and there's no way to avoid it in the single player. You limit who you play with when you have to set flags for "yeah stop putting an insulting giant dog graphic over the screen when people are playing and calling it a feature." Single player is especially heinous with this crap. Online is toxic of course. People just troll or kill themselves over and over when they die once and it apparently bans you for 30 minutes when you do that. When that happens I'm mostly like "yay I get to stop playing." Nintendo failed to balance their way out of metas so you're always going to have 50 Peaches spamming the butt attack one week and I dunno...Kirby doing some pink auto-win nipple dance the next. Who cares anymore. Buy this if you've got people in the room to play with and only if you want its frustrating nature to permeate and destroy your various friendships and family ties faster than Monopoly.

This is an ok game. Something you can get if you do not have any other game, however I will recommend other games No problem with delivery or quality of the product.
