In the last Nintendo Direct, a new update for Smash Ultimate was announced for spring. 3.0 marks the 2nd major update to the game this year. However, it was just a tease, as no features or changes were announced, but they did say we'll have to wait and see. With this being such a big update, what features are you hoping to be added in the next version of the game? Here's a few things I want to see.
* Ability to display combo counter during a match - Until now the combo counter has only been visible in the training mode of every Smash Bros. game. But I would like the option to display a combo counter during an actual match in the rules settings this time. This can make it easier to tell what moves can hit-confirm at what percents during an actual match. It also makes it easier to keep track of the hits during a match as well.
* Some additions to the Training mode - While on the subject of combos, adding the option to display a hitstun timer in the training menu would be a welcome change. That way you don't have to do as much guess work experimenting with different combos, since you have an easier time to judge how long you have to follow up. In addition, the ability to Switch control to the training dummy and record a movement pattern would also be nice. CPU AI can only do so much, so the ability to record a pre-set would make techniques and combos easier to test in a human environment.
* Home-Run Contest - This is a baffling exclusion from the base game IMO. It's been in every Smash since Melee, but here, no dice. Not sure if its exclusion has to do with Ultimate's new physics, but if that's not the case, this mode really needs to return in the future.
* Smash event Seasons - Here's a fun idea, what if there were themed Seasons for online and elite Smash? Sort of like Splatoon's Splatfests, or Fortnite Seasons. Every month or so, there'd be a themed online event, and you'd go online and play hoping your side or character wins. This can add more meat to the online mode (Which let's be honest, it really needs) and encourage you to come back each season for different themed matches.
