If Ultimate had actual Break the Targets or Board the Platforms I think I'd die.

Oh, and I liked Race to the Finish as well, although the little thing we got in Ultimate's Classic Mode is kind of similar so I'm fine, just wish there was more variety in like the branching paths RttF had.

Really miss those

It would have been awesome to see Break The Targets back, yes.

I would understand if they didn't do It like Melee due to the amount of characters, but I would have been fine if they did It like Brawl.

Just never do whatever Smash 4 tried to do again.

If I had to rank the Smash games I played It would go like:

Smash Run sounded cool, yes, but Smash 4 looked a lot better and ran more smoothly than Smash 3DS. This might sound biased, because I only played on the Wii U.

How’s everyone been doing as of now? Went through a minor depressive episode in the middle of a headache.

Just been reflecting a little on what I plan on doing next month for my life among other things...

I have a headache too.
Also my self-esteem continues to be low, and it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel for me.
:/

I hope everything goes alright in the future.

I’ve personally been a lot, mostly school stuff(because getting behind on only the second week would not be fun)

I’m also building my first MTG EDH deck in months; a Knight-based deck around the idea of just playing as many Knights as possible and abusing the fact my commanders makes all equip costs 0(hahah giant hammer go brrrr) to just slam my opponent(s) face in to two seconds flat.

All-Star mode got ruined in Ultimate.

RIP All-Star mode.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

One thing I will say:

While I'm not one to really care much for the different artstyles, I think Ultimate has really nailed the aesthetics. It looks really good. Basically an upgraded Sm4sh Wii U but that still doesn't detract from it at all.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

We ranking Smash Bros Games?

That's hard. I've played them all and have had good memories and moments with them all. I'll go into more detail later if anyone is interested.

I've got a few funny ones.

Dealing with a severe toothache and seems to be getting worse because of a chipped tooth. I'm gonna have to get over my bad phobia of the dentist and go on Tuesday cause bank holiday tomorrow.

Luckily listening to music, talking to you guys and playing games disguises the pain a bit though. Still hurts.

On the topic of Smash artstyles, how would you all feel if Ultimate’s became the main de-facto art direction for Smash going forward?

I would be ok with It, as most of the characters I like from the roster look awesome in Ultimate.

Ridley, Dark Samus, K.Rool, the DQ8 Hero... They all manage to look great next to each other.

Wouldn't mind an artstyle change if done right doh.

For the record, I was mostly referring to the character renders. Just the right blend of realistic detail and colorful designs.

1. Ultimate
The best Smash game, yes. I love all of the amazing characters, the expressive art style, and spirits. Trophies were nice and all, but spirits are really fun. I love all of the DLC, and I love how the roster is insanely packed. It was amazing, and a great improvement compared to Smash 4. The solo content was improved, and the style was improved overall. My main issue is the online, it is atrocious. It is a major step down from For Glory, and For Glory was pretty flawed. Also spirits should have had descriptions, but I consider that only a small flaw. Either way, I love Ultimate.


2. Smash 4
The Smash game where I REALLY got into Smash. Cloud was fun as hell to play, and I remembered beating all of my friends with Cloud and angering them. Sometimes they would not even let me play Cloud. Anyways, it was fun. The characters were nice, and the atmosphere was smooth. The artstyle as a major improvement from Brawl. My issue is that the solo content was butchered from Brawl, especially on the Wii U. Smash Run would have been cool for the Wii U. Also getting trophies and other items felt too randomized. Rolling and air dodging was too safe too. Overall, I loved it.

3. Brawl
A game for the newcomer. It is fantastic in terms of solo content. Subspace Emissary was so awesome to me. Seeing all of these characters from different games have nice interactions was fun, even if they didn't have much dialogue. I kind of wish Ultimate did this, but I am fine with what we got. My issues with it is the slow and floaty nature, and the artstyle doesn't fit all that well.

4. Melee
I have played this game in the past before, but I'm just not skilled enough to dive myself into it. I used to be pretty into competitive Smash, but now its just not my thing. It is pretty fun though. Not much to say, because I didn't really invest in it that much.

5. Smash 64
This is my least favorite Smash game, but you know, I respect it. It seemed nice for its time. I am not going to go into much detail on this, because I only played it for a little bit.

I can relate to a degree, tbh. Have you come up with a way to help you with this situation?

 

[DerpingPikachu]

I like Ultimate the best but I'm still slightly disappointed in the lack of game modes and trophies. I understand why they aren't there but I miss proper all star, smash run, subspace, etc. Plus spirits just aren't the same as trophies imo.

I mean the way of obtaining them is fantastic though. Fighting characters based on the spirit is fun, and the buffs are fun too.
In Smash 4, Brawl, and Melee, they were achieved randomly, and that was annoying.

No

I’m working to be a comedian and I feel like that Means that i have a sort of need to be validated maybe because I’m never able to validate myself

but I feel that’s one of the more selfish reasons I want to be a comedian but I do have a myriad of better ones to get into the entertainment industry

I think a lot of people who want to get into creative facets or are predispositioned to such things are on some level broken

I wish I could fix my issues I just need the guidebook on how
I wish you well
I know how agonizing this problem can be

EDIT: actually one time I had to write a poem about myself and it was therapudic to write out my turmoil I’m not saying write poems but sometimes it helps to get out of your head and on to parchment

 

[TMNTSSB4]

sometimes I wish the characters in Ultimate looked exactly the same as their css portraits do. Obviously the graphics and gameplay are amazing...but I'm a petty *****, so make that sexy Sonic pic be in tbe gameplay itself within the next millennium

[KingofPhantoms]

Unlocking everything (especially the characters, stages and trophies) in Brawl was a once in a lifetime experience for me. I sunk hours into playing the game when I was younger, and it's definitely the Smash game I have the most nostalgia for.

Ultimate is my new favorite, and it's definitely the series' peak of quality, but Brawl still holds a special place in my heart.

Writing out all your emotions can be very helpful. I have a bit of an emotions journal called "my ramblings" which documents the different emotional struggles that I've had recently. While it's not 100% reliable, it can help a little. Maybe something similar could help you.

@NonsensicalThings That's Garfield Silver as Rangez's avatar, not Garfield Sonic. Notice the silver fur. It's not blue.

alongside all the other things people have already mentioned, i think it's also worth noting that brawl was the first smash game that really went NUTS with non-fighter series representation

Now I am wondering... How are they going to ever top Ultimate? Adding all of those characters was probably extremely difficult.

Updated my Yoshi drawing with a couple variants. Ill have some more interesting stuff in the next week or so I hope. At the very least, maybe I'll draw a scanned picture digitally or something.

TBH. Not really. Smash's "art direction" is really just... what textures they use and stuff like that. Because it's not like the characters are all redesigned to be in the same art style or anything like that. And I honestly prefer the brighter and more saturated colors from 4 then the darker shading in Ultimate. Wouldn't mind if that was a choice you could make in the settings or something.

 

[Deleted member]

I really respect the Ultimate stock icons, because they portray the character so simply and easily.

The Ultimate stock icons just pop off better to me.

 

[StrangeKitten]

1. Ultimate - Everything looks beautiful with the slight exception of Shulk's in-game model. Gameplay feels like a good middle ground between Melee and Brawl, which are my favorites, movement-wise (ignoring Brawl's tripping mechanic of course, which is awful). While I would love more single-player content, there's enough here to sink lots of time into. And this game has K Rool and Banjo, gosh it feels so odd not seeing them on the rosters of previous games. And Bowser and Pokemon Trainer, characters I fell in love with in their debut games, are actually good characters now. Easily my favorite Smash.

2. Brawl - Hot take putting it second? Perhaps, but I adore it. Subspace is the fun platforming and enemy fighting I wish Ultimate had. It's what makes me rate Brawl highly. I will admit the "gritty" style looks pretty bad, though.

3. Melee - The one I grew up with and poured a ton of hours into. I love it, and love watching it competitively even though I'm terrible at pulling off those movements myself. I love the single-player stuff here! Graphics are excellent for the Gamecube.

4. Smash 4 - This one feels the most meh in my opinion. Gameplay is meh, single player content is meh. Game looks pretty good but not amazing if we're talking the Wii U version. The 3DS version doesn't work well in graphics or controls (well, it's moreso the 3DS itself doesn't work well for controlling Smash in general).

5. Smash 64 - Barren single-player content, and I think this game looks kinda bad even for its time. It's not 64's fault, because it was made on a shoestring budget, but that doesn't change the fact that this is the least appealing game by comparison

I really respect the Ultimate stock icons, because they portray the character so simply and easily.

The Ultimate stock icons just pop off better to me.

Same, I love the simplified design!

 

[Knight Dude]

How was it ruined?

The overall structure of the mode changed. I still find it fun. But I totally get why others would dislike this change.

Basically, before, it worked like an extended Arcade mode with a set path, either series based or chronologically, depending on the game. In Ultimate, it's very similar to the 100-man fights but with actual characters rather than the fodder you normally fight. Though the novelty of chronological fights is still there.

I do admit to preferring the old style more, either way would make for a long fight. I just think handling it like an Arcade mode with a path that stays the same no matter the fighter would be better. Espeically since Arcade mode in Ultimate is tuned to each fighter, a unified variant still has it's place.

Imagine Smash Bros on Gameboy.

Have you ever heard of Super Smash Land? It's exactly that, or at least it's trying to emulate it

It even lives up to limitations a gameboy smash would have, and has only 6 characters. Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Mega Man, and Vaporeon (odd choice but they're fun from what I remember).

Fun fact: the people that made it went on to create Rivals of Aether. And one of the characters, Orcane, essentially plays like Vaporeon does in Land

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I never looked up the 3DS version of Sonic all stars racing transformed before. I'm kinda surprised to see that it's the exact same game as the console version but with slightly worse graphics

I might pick this up for the 3DS collection.

I wouldn’t bother, the game always crashed on me whenever I rented it

Will have to try that Game out then.

There's a fan-game that emulates the style, I forget the name tho.

Now that I think of it, I never played Smash Crusade. I saw someone modded in Zero from Mega Man X, so with him and regular Mega Man, I might check that out one day. I liked that Mega Man had Rush Jet as the recovery since you can shoot and recover at the same time.

Someone else is also adding Mega Man X into Project M or something like that. And he looks really sick so far. I've seen people add in Smash 4 guys like Mega Man, Ryu and Little Mac to certain degrees too.

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

Man, I missed the Brawl conversation from a few pages back? I have a huge soft-spot for Brawl. There was one summer where me, my brother, and two of our friends would play that game religiously at my house. Whenever I think of Brawl, that's what I think of. Good times.

Then I got into making Brawl hacks shortly after that and that's how I ended up finding this site way back in 2013. Crazy how time flies. Those were the days for sure...
