Defending my point on why Smash 4 online is better than Ultimate ( In terms of getting your friends to battle, not the For Glory / Quickbattle things. )
In Smash 4, invite your friend, set up a room, and boom. You can verse each other continuously. Free online, no waiting, no bad connection for me at least ( As I usually did 1v1 )
In Ultimate, there is an arena. In this arena, you have to wait. Eight players can come on. Online is not free. The arena lags like crazy with eight players. Eight players is a good thing for getting everyone to join, but that means that the arena is bound to get way more laggy matches. If you want to do a 1v1 with eight people, then you may have to wait forever. The worst part is choosing a character, a song and a stage WILL SEND YOU TO THE BACK OF THE LINE.
Come on Nintendo, this is supposed to be Smash Bros. Ultimate. The Ultimate Smash Bros game. This was supposed to be completely superior to the previous Smash games in every way. Fix your online, please.
