r/SmashBrosUltimate

Had a 4-ish year break from smash because life happened.

Today I booted up my switch and hopped on. And man it’s feeling good, like a new game!

Too bad can’t really find lots of matches online in Finland.

Anyone had the same experience? I’m trying to catch up a bit by reading all of your posts :)

Every time I try to play in quickplay I have to wait for like 10 minutes to finally fight someone.

There are too many options to be a poll so leave your answer in the comments.

Rules:

1. Every character-including echo fighters-are put in a solo battle royale where the objective is to be the last one standing. ONLY 1 can win. The rest die.
2. Alliances can be made, but there can still only be one winner.
3. All characters keep their lore accurate personalities, intellect, and relationships with characters they've canonically interacted with, not including WOL or Subspace emissary.
4. Characters are eliminated if they are KILLED, not knocked off stage.
5. Characters can use any type of melee attack, but for ranged attacks and special moves they are limited to their smash move sets, NOT INCLUDING FINAL SMASHES. Ex. Samus can only use Charge shot, tether, bombs, and her 2 missles. No other weapons from her series. Teleportation moves will be limited to a range of 300 meters in any direction. Characters with wings AND multijumps in smash can fly, characters with multijump get... multijump
6. All characters will be placed randomly on a large map with varying biomes, at least 2 miles away from any other character.
7. No items other than a singular final smash ball which is placed in the center of the map after half of the roster has been defeated, and will gravitate towards the character with the most kills, if picked up the character keeps it indefinitely until use, and the only way to steal it is to kill the character before they use it.
8. No shields. All projectiles are slow enough to be dodged
9. If you say "I'm not reading allat" or something insulting you're a BUM

Who wins?

Every list now seems to disregard the idea that Smash Bros is a NINTENDO fighting game first and foremost. So many rosters are adding 20 third party characters from niche games that realistically shouldn’t/won’t be in smash rather than actually including any new fighters from Nintendo IP. People are setting themselves up for disappointment when the next game follows ultimate’s model, with the base game adding actual Nintendo characters and the dlc focusing on third parties. I think there needs to be a line drawn in the sand on what a smash fighter should be, because I’m seeing way too many people suggest Jonesy and the fucking Cut the Rope Guy over Zelda characters and Paper Mario

Struggling against this character a lot, same with most of the very small and marshy characters

Pikachu feels like even if the player has some horrendous habits they all can pretty much go unpunished. Like if I hit a person and they just start mashing stuff after I hit them, usually I can just bait and punish but with pikachu what do I actually do? I played against a guy using Sora and everytime he was in the air he used Dair. Every single time. I won that game by just up throwing him over and over. he switched to pikachu and it literally feels like i just had to give up on punishing dair or mashing because I have no idea when to actually hit this character.

It also doesn’t help that his neutral B makes me feel like I’m not even playing the same game as I was when fighting other characters because my movement revolves around his T jolt. Even then, I could know what option they will use after T jolt or Even the next 5 options they use i just cant do anything but spam my out of shield.

this is honestly the only character in the game where I feel like I’m losing because of the character and not because the guy is just better than me at the game
