Smash Cadet
It took me a LONG time to get used to how the game played with its increased speed and new knockback physics, but I gotta say I'm really loving it so far. What do y'all think of it?

I have the same conclusion: For some reason the texture (or something like that) is much uglier. It is very obvious on Zero Suit Samus for exampleThe gameplay is probably the best in the series, its just disappointing that the visuals look so washed out, And most of the characters look awful on the close up's during the victory screen. Smash Wii U looked a lot better.

That's unfortunate to dislike the game so much because of some minor changes to one fighter out of over 70. But I understand, that wink was integral to the success of Super Smash Bros.This is my new least favorite Smash. Peach feels water down in Ultimate from the Wii U game her dress has become untidy in form and appearance, her taunts got cut down to almost nothing, toad got in to her grabs taking away to of them for no good reason, and she doesn't smile when she's doing Peach Bomber or wink in her back throw.
Yeah it really is. I think it still makes sense enough as you can either go to options or sound for it, but the fact that it's small and and at the bottom right is really questionable. Also, I find it weird how we can't change the menu's music. We're stuck with the same song in the menu. Don't get me wrong it's a great theme but I wouldn't mind listening to melee every once in awhile.As for the things I really don't appreciate so far...
My Music is kinda tucked away, and I'm the kind of person that likes to tweak and adjust My Music a lot. Especially as I unlock songs. I also wish there were more options in My Music, like, every single Song that used to play on stages that fit thematically was just moved to "other" stages that don't fit quite as well. Also stinks that there are still some series that have no new remixes... not to mention having all the songs in a series grouped together really makes you aware of just how often the same song gets remixed.
No traditional All-Star Mode is a drag. I don't like the multi-man Smash format at all. Also, why no classic mode for Mii fighters?? They're characters too dang it! I don't care that Homerun, Targets, and Platforms aren't back, but All-Star mode was a must for me.
And one last "I wish they had this but I get why they don't" is that I wish spirits had little descriptions to them, I don't know a lot of the characters. I could just google them later but i'd be more likely to do that if they gave me a little description to sell me on the character, that's basically how I became a fan of the extended Nintendo family with Melee's trophies... buuuut I get why they didn't do it since trophies dragged down development time.
I have no idea how you think wolf was buffed from brawl. Other than him getting tweaked for this games mechanics, brawl wolf>ultimate wolf. His fire wolf is shorter, his air neutral is replaced with a kick like foxs instead of the incredibly safe and reliable pin wheel move he had, his fsmash is now 1 hit instead of 2 and lost its range. His FADC upsmash is gone. His reflector is smaller. Theres nothing better about him in this other than his gun and his upsmash that finally connects. Hes more of a clone in this than he was in brawl.Good
-Love the game. I like how the newcomers arrive at a regular basis instead of having to do some specific tasks to unlock a given fighter like in past games, especially with the sheer number of characters now.
-Graphics look amazing and improved over Smash 4
-Music selection is great
-The gameplay has been sped up a lot and feels a lot more fluid, less campy, and less floaty.
-A lot of fighters feel better with their adjustments compared to Smash 4
-Tournament mode returns
Meh
-World of Light is fun, but is more or less a thousand event matches strung together with pathways. Part of me liked SSE from Brawl better
-Stadium is missing (unless more types get unlocked) other than 100-man Smash, Cruel Smash, and All-Star. Really miss Break the Targets and Homerun Contest.
-The AI is funky and inconsistent. Sometimes it can be brutally punishing, other times it can be stupidly easy.
-The online still needs work. The fact that we now have to pay for it and it is still in this state is annoying. Hopefully Nintendo fixes it.
Nitpicks
-No trophies.
-I miss unlocking stages.
Specific character early thoughts:
- Nice buffs from Brawl, the engine changes benefit him a lot. He is a lot faster and his attacks are stronger, still seems easily gimpable and vulnerable to combos.
- He's good, really good. Almost borderline broken IMO. Easily the best heavyweight with his super armor, attack priority and probably one of the best recoveries in the game.
- Needs work. He may have the power, but is real slow and has to get right up in people's faces to do anything. Has a hard time against ranged characters and projectile users. Terrible recovery though his side B helps.
- Strong and fast though nerfed recovery. I would place him behind K Rool as the second-best heavyweight.
The colors were better on Wii U, nothing wrong with my equipment.Haha what? This game is so colorful. Fix your tv.
Smash 6 would top it easily if they got rid of him and had another developer make smash.I am only 48 hours into this game, and call be a basic piece of Nintendo-loving trash because I LOVE IT. Really, I do. Now like everyone else I have some concerns that I want to express first and foremost;
1. Playing this game on handheld mode can be jarring at first, but I got used to be very quickly when I realized it's the exact, same layout as Smash for 3DS. But still I make the mistake of jumping instead of attacking because I pressed the wrong button.
2, I really, really, REALLY wish Nintendo had a matchmaking system where you can invite friends, send invited, talk to friends, organize matches and such because every time I play I have like 10 friends online playing Smash and no way for me to invite them to play directly from the game, especially when every other online game in existence HAS THAT FEATURE ALREADY. Of course, I may be doing something wrong, so some tips on fighting with friends?
3, Getting used to the new meta game is indeed tricky because it both feels faster but not so fast that you are running all over the place. The new drop speeds also surprised me.
Other than that, I am loving this game for the same reasons everyone else has stated; the levels of polish in this game are phenomenal. Yeah, you can argue to the moon and back about what could have been added, what could have been taken out, what could have returned etc,, but there is just so much love put into this game, perhaps more than any other Smash game to date. The attention to detail to the character is remarkable and the overall presentation (which I understand why it would be too much for some) truly makes the game to be an epic event.
Ultimate does feel like the game Sakurai has been itching to make for over 20 years, and I think he finally achieved it. Smash 6 is gonna have a really hard time topping it.
Haha nice screeshot from the outdated E3 build of the game! I guarantee you it doesn’t look like that in game. Wii U looks wayyy worse in the final build.The colors were better on Wii U, nothing wrong with my equipment.
He does work the same its just that ultimates game mechanics ****s him over so much. I main snake too. Its hard to get a hit or combo going with him.So far... I just can’t get used to the knockback mechanics... and I’m struggling to find something really useful with . All those people that said he works the same in Brawl lied. The mechanics are working against me as .
The sex kick is a much better Nair than the spin. More reliable, has a lingering hitbox, and suits hit kit much better.I have no idea how you think wolf was buffed from brawl.
