With a possible Metroid Prime reveal tonight you may be on to something :O
Surprised there isn't a 6-7/10 yet. There's always gotta be that one reviewer...
You're lucky. Mine isn't shipping until the 13th or 14th.I really, really regret pre-ordering physical. It shipped today and is scheduled to arrive tomorrow some time before 11pm. So I'll probably be waiting on this all day and night.
If for nothing else this, sounds like online has been ok so far so it just may if reviews get updated plus the ones that didn't get early copies.It needs to get to 94. The evil that is Brawl must be defeated.
It's true. I know someone somewhere out there is gonna do it. It's too tempting not to clickbait review scores.It's coming I'm sure... being the lowest review on a big game alwas generate tons of views ;P
Just kidding... ;P

My fav gen....I sure hope so!!With a possible Metroid Prime reveal tonight you may be on to something :O
Exactly.In terms of the only thing that really matters, pure enjoyment, hell yes.

Oh, baby
Gamexplain saying the game can be hard to follow is worrying me. I've been watching and I think he's right. All the smoke everywhere after basically every attack seems really distracting.
No Slant review yet? ; - ]Surprised there isn't a 6-7/10 yet. There's always gotta be that one reviewer...
If changing speed, lag, and damage values don't count as mechanical changes than I'm pretty sure there's still more changed mechanically going from 4 to Ultimate than from Brawl to 4, the only real mechanics change I can think of off the top of my head between those being tripping being removed, again, this is assuming speed, lag, and damage changes don't count which I think is ridiculous. And honestly the way aerials have been buffed by an insane degree due to how much safer they are now is a waaaay bigger change than the new perfect shield.
There are even more new mechanics to consider, too:
-Airdodging overhaul (only one airdodge per airtime unless you get hit, can do Smash 4 airdodge or directional airdodge)
-Staling defensive maneuvers
-Dash canceling into any move (this is major)
-Short-hop input
-Delayed smash attacks
-Final Smash meter
Plus all the characters-specific stuff, especially the newcomers that play like no other character like Inkling or Incineroar. I'll also say that despite it being just a mode, Squad Strike is an incredible new addition.
Excited for it but the whole LAN adapter thing has turned me off a bit - I will not buy an adapter + spread a long ass cable across my house everytime I wanna play online.
It would be great if Digital Foundry or any other "pro reviewer" (if I can call them that) could give us a deeper look at online over wifi vs LAN including framerate and package losses and drops etc.
Put Banjo in it and Ill give it a 99 ;D
For real though, looking forward to playing this tomorrow. I know some people say its just a port, but in fighting games, even the small changes can make a character feel entirely different.
There was the one poster earlier. Sounded very concerned, too. Very, very concerned.No one is seriously saying that or has been saying it since the first direct. Not only have all characters been tweaked or had major updates, it's an entirely new engine with different mechanics.
Plus you know, all the brand new modes including an all new 30 hr plus single player mode.
It's impossible to argue this is a port.
shit, anyone can answer this for you
like pretty much every online game on the market having a wired connection will be preferable. also like pretty much every online game on the market most people will be using wifi.
Funny thing is, some reviews say that Ultimate is "only the best version of Smash", like if the game needs to change lots of things to achieve a bigger scores. The same reviewers gave RDR2 10s, a game that aside from the graphics and some changes to make it more slow and realistic, plays like any R* game from 8 or 10 years ago.
It's hard for me to understand how their minds work.
Too many variables from all the players, especially when you consider that Nintendo doesn't rely on dedicated servers but P2P instead.
And I did not talk about the obvious: a wired connection is preferable, no shit - I wanna know about the impact of not going wired. If it's playable, I'll be there. If it's not, I will reconsider. Pretty simple.
It's gonna be hard to find a review like that given that Smash has overall essentially had the same general surface level "playstyle" ever since Melee, and has only iterated upon it ever since, so many differences will only really be interpreted on a more subtle/micro level that isn't the same way that, say, you can clearly tell the differences between Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V - you can easily explain the differences between those two to a layman; i.e in SFV, revenge mechanics from SFIV are removed, and instead of focus attacks as a stun/parry option, every character has a unique V-Trigger/V-Skill mechanic that gives them a unique gimmick to employ in combos, mixups or elsewhere. With Smash you're basically playing the same basic formula, so all the tweaks are something you kind of have to put under the scope in comparison.If you come across any well-written reviews by and for competitive players that have a precise eye for these mechanical changes and what they mean, but present and interpret these concepts in a way that is accessible to less serious players who might not understand their impact, I would appreciate a link. I have no use whatsoever for media reviews that just go down the feature list with evaluative judgements of liking this thing and not liking that thing, but don't actually tell me anything I can't already see with my own eyes. I want to read about the finer points of design.

Ironically, Smash is one of those highly anticipated games that would be perfectly OK to not review too favourably.It's true. I know someone somewhere out there is gonna do it. It's too tempting not to clickbait review scores.
After watching a few reviews I don't think it will. Too many cite reused assets and not liking WoL. Also I haven't seen any footage or commentary on the online. Does anyone have anything on that? This is to me the #1 thing that could make Ultimate feel like a true upgrade over the WiiU game. So far it just looks like a Deluxe port.It needs to get to 94. The evil that is Brawl must be defeated.
Define playable. Is it no lag, 30 FPS, even with 4 players items on?spoilers: it's playable
that's why I said the majority of people will be playing over wifi

No! He needs to get to work on that DLC! Work work work work work Sakurai!!roses are red
before you marry someone you should do a dick test
sakurai put a lot of effort into this

I'm pretty disappointed that the game seems to get a pass on the semingly awful online mode. I mean it could be so much more than a couch-game to only play with your friends, and should be judged with that in mind.

I didn't say port. I said Deluxe port. Like MK8D. MK8D added an entire battle mode and included all DLC tracks, plus new characters, plus new karts and wheels and gliders, plus Labo support. Thats a Deluxe port. With Smash, they took the already huge WiiU game, added 6 fresh characters and another handful of returning or echo characters. What else did they do? Spirits and WoL. Thats like a whole new mode, like battle arena for MK8D (except way less liked than MK8D battle arena). Oh and they tweaked the stats for all the moves, to mix up the meta. I watched 4 reviews today and most mentioned the reused assets and lack of freshness. They still like the game, as will I, just as I liked MK8D. But "Deluxe Port" is probably the most accurate way to describe the game.This view was clearly bull**** back in July, even more so now.

I think Brawl is actually one of my least favorite gameplay wise. I never enjoyed the floatiness and aerial focus, not to mention the stupid tripping.
