    Elite Smash?

    And I'm saying that placements do not work like this in any other game for a reason. Nobody should be getting put into the top tier after a few games, a sample size that low is beyond laughable. That's the whole reason placement matches exist in the first place, to gauge a player's skill before...

    Elite Smash?

    Other ranking systems have tiered ranking systems and placement matches though. You don't streak from placements to the highest rank tier in those systems, they typically will place you in the upper tiers but can reasonably expect you to work your way up from there. You don't get placed in...

    Official Competitive Character Impressions 2.0

    Have to disagree with anybody placing Mario remotely high, he seems aggressively bad in this game. Losing the utilt combos is a massive deal and I have no idea why some people downplay it, nobody pretends that Fox for example wouldn't be substantially worse if he lost his usmash kill confirm...

    Elite Smash?

    The way this system works is really obnoxious. The more games you play with a character, the more your GSP gain will slowdown as you approach Elite Smash. My most played character right now is Snake, at around 70 games, and I'm hanging around the 1.45 million GSP mark. A victory is giving me...

    I wonder if the characters are going to be released piecemeal or in chunks again. I could see Piranha Plant releasing in February, followed by the first pass fighter in April, or they could wait until June or so to release two characters at once, then another duo in fall and the final one before...

    If you just feed Naked Snake enough he grows up to be Big Boss

    Classic Mode seems really cool this time around with the different versions for each character. Ryu does 1v1 fights in Stamina mode on Omega mode stages.

    The DLC predictions being so safe or uninteresting really shows how much expectations have been brought in line since the Grinch madness. A gen 8 Pokemon or Three Houses character seems pretty tone deaf, especially since you know if they add Edelgard as the latter she won't be using axes or...

    Going from Mewtwo, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, and Bayonetta as DLC to Piranha Plant, Minecraft, and Granblue as DLC would certainly invoke colorful reactions from the playerbase.

    I wouldn't consider the glaring lack of side modes and removal of trophies to be minor things. That's what also really soured me about the Direct and is sticking with me after it's over. It's just bizarre to have it be emphasized over and over that this is the Ultimate Smash, then get told that...

    What's even in the awkwardly named Games & More at this point? Classic and the few Multi-Man Smash modes remaining?

    I don't disagree with you as I felt the same way about Smash 4, it felt like it was spread too thin. I guess my main problem comes from equipment being such a dud feature in Smash 4 I don't understand why it's now become the focal point of the singleplayer content. If Spirits is an Event mode...

    Most of my complaints have to do with the game's content, not the roster. I'm worried this is looking like the series' lightest offering since Melee in that regard. They seem to have really put everything into the Spirits mode, and subsequently Adventure Mode as well. I should clarify that I'm...

    They had to pad the Direct out by talking about the brightness and sound options. They had to scrape the bottom of the barrel so hard I sincerely doubt they hid the good stuff from sight.

    Yeah, I feel the same way. The game felt massive and bursting at the seams from E3 through the August Direct. Now it just feels compromised. I know that opinion is probably veering on the unfair side, but the sheer amount of asset reuse coupled with cut content doesn't help with the port stigma...
