Smash Ultimate kinda has some problems

[PapaGreg096]

1.The World of light thing kinda sucks- Its just so boring all you do is go around and fight CPU's with dumb RPG mechanics. Its a slog and if you don't have your favorite character to play as then you aren't going to have a fun time during the first few hours. Don't get me wrong Subspace Emissary had a problem where there is a chance you won't play as your favorite character but at least you kinda knew when a chapter would end, here you have no idea how long you are going to keep playing as the same characters you dislike.

Its telling when a Dragonball game does the whole "Tabetop storymode" thing better than a Smash game


2. The starting Roster is beyond pathetic- I understand that sometimes you have to work for your food and if you want to get a character you like you have to do a few requirements but my god whoever thought that the starting roster should contain 8 people should be shot.

But thank god someone on Tumblr manage to make a cheat sheet

Just look at this there are more characters you have to unlock than there are in the starting roster.

My only problem with it so far is how much I suck after years of not playing a Smash game.

Idunno, the starting roster contains pikachu, which is enough for me. Just playing the game unlocks a lot of the characters at a steady pace. And I haven't touched the story mode yet. In any case, you might appreciate this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dp58I_tFss&

It'll tell you how to unlock everything asap.

I actually really liked world of light but my God does it drag. It's also extremely difficult at points, I'm still getting PTSD from the Paulina and Funky Kong fight

 

[Saelune]

Oh, I get it, its the line up from the original N64 smash! I played the fuck out of that, despite it having virtually no modes.

I'm struggling with the Sonic and Rayman fight personally.

Also the direction of that chart makes all kinds of no sense. At best, each starting character has one, maybe two unlocks that are actually related to them. DK doesn't unlock K. Rool, Samus doesn't unlock Ridley, Mario doesn't unlock Bowser, Link doesn't unlock Gannondorf, Kirby doesn't unlock Meta Knight, what the flip?

I hate that I am playing as Breath of the Wild's Link and A Link Between World's Zelda.

Can't I just have their Ocarina of Time era look please?

Can you give us costumes for these charcaters Sakurai?

 

[Rylee Fox]

I've had no issues with unlocking characters. I have 48 of them now. Everything I do causes an unlock to happen pretty much.

I'm not forcing it, they'll get unlocked as I play the game naturally. Got some from classic, got some from world of light, others showed up seemingly at random. I'm happy with the pace myself.

This. It's so painfully obvious to anyone who played the original smash.Pretty much a non issue.It's a throwback.

I remember back when characters were unlocked by playing the game, rather than bought with DLC. So i like it.

My problem with smash is the abysmal online.

Name me one fighting game where 80 percent of the roster was locked

Sorry guys, I can't bust out smash when we're hanging out tomorrow, I only have 8 characters unlocked out of 80. I did some overtime this week to make some extra holiday money and didn't have time to play through story mode 50 times to unlock everything. Want to just play Soul Caliber 6 instead?

Yeah, having literally the whole roster locked is a problem. If I wanted to play the roster from SB 64 I'd play SB 64. I still have an N64 plugged into one of my tvs.

you don't even have to play world of light to unlock the characters, you can also play classic mode with each character to unlock others or even just play like 70 1 stock matches to quickly unlock the characters.

it takes more than 5 minutes to unlock everything?!? oh boo hoo. how bout people just play the game already? it literally takes less than a day to unlock everyone. hell using the 1 stock match method i've heard it's only taken people an hour and a half to unlock everyone.


out of all the problems this game has, the issue with unlocking characters seems to be the most first world type of problem out of all of them. there are bigger issues with this game like the online for starters.

Honestly, despite all the hate you seem to get on every thread, I think you're the only one left with any common sense on these forums.

1. I never mentioned unlocking characters via the World of Light playthrough just that it kinda sucks and you only have a handful of characters to play as during the beginning of the story

2. Thats still like over 5 hours of going through repetitive fights and looking at the same crappy endings on classic mode. Thats not fun to me and it feels more like work.

Honestly, despite all the hate you seem to get on every thread, I think you're the only one left with any common sense on these forums.

Apparently because some people don't want to spend hours just to unlock MOST of the characters for what is essentially a party game because they want to play with a group of friends or need to work means they don't have common sense.

This is actually why I split time between playing World of Light and just unlocking characters. I mean, the point of it is just to goof off, unlocking everyone one by one and getting a feeling of accomplishment as the roster expands. If all one is doing is just unlocking, they've only themselves to blame for being bored because they chose the most tedious, boring thing to do instead of having fun.
