Before I get started, I want to say that I have been playing Super Smash Bros. since Brawl for the Wii, and I used Meta Knight, so I know what it is like to use a completely OP-broken character. Please don't call me out saying that I don't understand why people want to use Joker so much.
Quick backstory: I main Meta Knight in Smash Ultimate (because I used him in Brawl and he is my favorite character from Kirby), and I was at around ~1,200,000 Global Smash Points before this fiasco happened. I also like to do 1v1s in online because it is very annoying when you are doing team battle and your teammate doesn't do anything, or you are doing free-for-all and everyone gangs up on you. I have also completely cleared World of Light on Hard Mode with the True Ending. So, I guess you could say that I have skills in this game.
So fast-forward to today. I load up the game to do some quick 1v1s, and almost everyone is using Joker! Normally, I beat people who are using standard characters, but Joker is way to OP, and I lost every single time! He has that stupid gauge that allows him to summon his own personal demon spectre (IDK what it is called), and said demon greatly amplifies all of his attacks! I am at zero percent and I get Joker man to 50%, and then that stupid ghost is out, and now Joker is running at light speed and I can't get any hits! He also has a powerful recovery, and a counter, and another counter that fills up the demon ghost gauge, and the special that shoots out a blood-shadow ball, and he attacks so fast! Whenever I am put into a match with a Joker user, I almost always lose! Joker even has an infinite! I decided to switch to Lucina (my other main) to see if that would help, and it didn't!!!!!
If Joker were a normal Smash character that was free, I wouldn't have a problem because I would just switch to him. But he's not! He costs $6!!! ($25 for Fighter Pass)
My problem is that based on this, Smash Ultimate is going to become pay-to-win in the future. If you want to be a top player, you'll either have to spend your money on DLC, or you'll have to train to be able to fight against said DLC. This sucks, because I have already spent $40 on the game, and now I have to spend more money just to be able to become a top player.
If someone on the game team is reading this, please take this into consideration.
I hope you enjoyed my story on how I went from 1,200,000 Global Smash Points to 92,000 in under an hour.
