I have a question. In order to unlock these two characters, do you have to play Classic Mode on a certain minimum difficulty to at least unlock them or is any difficulty good? Plus, is there a criteria like completing Pikachu's and Link's Classic Mode under a time limit? Thanks.
I got more here:
Any difficulty is good I'm almost positive.
So there’s no more precious vs mode as the fast way so what
No, I can still do it that way but it would be a big nuisance. Why have a 10 minute time limit in the first place? Especially if people are going to bypass it?
Personally I would unlock characters then eventually reset the data and do it again
That means Sakurai wants everyone to play their game his way. We saw what happened last time with Brawl and Brawl turned out to be the worst Smash Bros. game. So while saying that this is the worst Smash Bros is a bit of an exaggeration, calling it the most unpolished or biggest failure seems fair because of idiotic roadblocks like this.
I don't think the decisions made with character roadblocks have anything to do with the polish of the game. It's an active decision on the way of having character unlocks be a certain way and sticking to it.
I'm probably going to go play Sonic's directly after doing Mario's. But otherwise yeah I think I'm going to do the rest of the Original 8's before I do Bayonetta and such at least.
I actually just watched a video of someone playing Donkey Kong and unlocking Rosalina and Luma, despite the earlier chart (which was probably correct for the player that played characters in a specific order, or, maybe some unlocks are constants and others are variable).
You know, people go through the process of unlocking things and enjoy it because you feel like you’re constantly rewarded for playing. And I guarantee a large percent of the non-lazy community enjoy unlocks for the sake of knowing they beat the game. Also, I’m pretty sure you’d be bored out of your ****ing mind if there was nothing to unlock and you started with absolutely everything. So just stop whining about pointless things and realize it’s a video game, they are never going to be exactly what you want.
Brawl wasn’t the worst game. It was just the least competitive, which makes it better in my opinion, as there weren’t a bunch of competitive a-holes trying to ruin what was really fun for casual players by saying stuff like “any casual modes are unnecessary” or “unlocks are the worst”. But seriously, why the hell do you feel the need to complain so much about unlocks, calling them “idiotic roadblocks” and saying this is the worst smash game? Something tells me you haven’t even played brawl anyway, and probably never touched melee either, because those games actually took some time to complete and someone here can’t even handle going through unlocks because “oh man, I can’t cheat my way through”. Just deal with it, unlocking characters is really not that hard.
This is what we call the ‘fun half’ of the community. Much more enjoyable.
The idea I had in mind was more along the lines of;
Ah.Okay.So unlocks for Classic,may just be random then.
Umm if there was a cheat code to unlock all characters from the start or if no one would be unlocked I would enjoy the game more because I would be able to spend more time playing multiplayer or learning how each character works. I liked MK8 a lot because Deluxe had everything available from start and even then on Wii U the grand prix mode was 4 players so I could actually PLAY THE GAME WITH OTHER PEOPLE instead of having to take turns unlocking things. That **** got boring quick in MKWii.
Melee and Brawl didn't have the best unlocking systems but they didn't have as many characters to unlock or as few characters available at start. Also, they didn't have a 10 minute time limit either.
Well, your option for unlocking characters meant a lot of either specific **** in the modes or self-destructing through versus matches in the past.
Man, I hope so. I'm just glad Vs. is an option with decent workarounds, because 10.5 hours of straight Classic Mode plus party preparations would suck. And that's assuming that I could successfully unlock everyone.
That wasn't exactly the best way either, but self destructs were more simple to pull off and again there weren't as many characters locked. Even then with Melee you could just copy over save files. And the single player modes were quite enjoyable
If 8 player smash wasn't a thing then I wouldn't mind being limited to 2 players but since it's in it should be able to do 4 players to me. Especially since all stages are playable now. This is a nusiance to me since I frequently get together with 2 others and taking turns seems annoying.
This is why I see this as the ultimate failure of a setup for tournaments. Unlocking characters by itself isn't bad or difficult, but making so many unlockables and making it even more inconvenient to unlock them with the 10 minute timer is ridiculous. Other games didn't really do a perfect job, but they had less unlockable characters.
It's excusable for the older games because they were never explicitly trying to touch base with the competitive side, but now it's just a bad decision imho.
This sounds like some great planning. My plan will probably be unlock everyone overnight, as I won’t have time to get the game until the afternoon.
Well maybe it would take less time to unlock everyone compared to previous games but it doesn't change how much of a nuisance it would be for tournament organizers.
i agree that the process is tedious but i wouldnt say this ruins the game. im pretty sure sakurai has a good reason why he made it this way, but at the end of it definitely makes the process more interesting.
Literally answered this. Everyone who plays will have everyone. IT WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE IN AND AFTER THE YEAR 2019.
they have no problem with that at all wym
No I'm not ignoring the comments but you're assuming that everyone will get this game at launch. And everyone will play long enough to unlock every character.
And you’re assuming nobody will get the game at launch and play long enough to get every character which is false as well.
You're assuming that everyone who organizes tournaments has time to go through each console and make sure every character is unlocked. People were considering on banning all wireless controllers due to interference and I discovered that holding the sync button for 15 seconds would disconnect all wireless controllers and you would have to use the console's sync button to reconnect them. I suggested to everyone that ANYONE (even anyone using the wireless controllers) could go to each console after the wireless player finishes their match and disconnect the controller with the sync button. My suggestion got the "who has time for that?" response.
I still stand by my claim that those who don’t have the time shouldn’t be hosting tournaments.
How does this relate to the topic at all?
It's like saying League Of Legends don't need a tournament version because anyone who want to host a tournament should love LoL enough to put 2500$ in RP to get every characters or 3000 hours in the game.
Except what we have to deal with is child's play compared to LoL. In Smash Ultimate's case, it's $0 and 12 hours. If our beloved game had those standards, then this would be a whole different conversation, but it is way easier of a task than what some people here are making it out to be.
