If anything, after looking at Ultimate's Classic Mode more and more, I honestly see this as the best Classic Mode we're probably ever gonna get in Smash.
After four/five games, "just choose a character," randomized battles with some bonus game and Master Hand at the end has gotten a bit tiring. Not to mention doing it with all the fighters made it kinda grating a bit, so I'm VERY glad to see that every single fighter has a specified route and actually has purpose.
Even the bonus game looks a bit cool, mix of Board the Platforms/Race to the Finish/etc. I'm also very happy that at the end, Master Hand isn't always the final boss, rather bosses like Galleom and Rathalos are, which makes me hella excited to play as Simon/Richter in Classic Mode when I fight Dracula at the end.
So many good changes that I'm very happy with.
