@Marioracer While I think all DLC will be 3rd party, so they won't have spirits, neither Mii Costumes nor Spirits deconfirm characters as playable. After all, there's both Mii Costumes and Spirits for playable characters in the base game.

The most agreed upon opinion seems to be that Spirits can still become DLC fighters. K Rool and Palutena both have alt designs that appear as Spirits, so if Sakurai and Nintendo want a character in the game as DLC, it isn't impossible if they were originally in the base game as a Spirit.

To add on to this, Spirits are basically trophies, and Mewtwo and Lucas were both trophies in Smash 4 yet became fighters later down the line as DLC.

Daisy is also both a spirit and a playable character. Spirits do not deconfirm characters.

@Deku-Scrub Yeah, but they added Mewtwo and Lucas as DLC out of weirdness. Mewtwo was cut from Brawl after playable in Melee, and Lucas was cut from 4 after playable in Brawl. Grrrr. Ness took a gunshot for you, Lucas!!!

To be fair, all of the roster could potentially be spirits in some form.

Male Wii Fit Trainer has also been spotted as a spirit. So yeah, it doesn't deconfirm characters.

@HobbitGamer Doesn't matter. Mewtwo was already under works before release of the game remember, so if him being a trophy was an issue, they would have removed it before release.

All playable characters had at least three trophies of themselves. Most had many many more.

So, I for one am super hyped for world of light and was wondering what you guys thought of it. I thought the reveal trailer was both Epic and at times hilarious (Wii Fit Trainer and Solid Snake!) and the mode itself looks huge and a lot of fun!

Do you guys know whether event matches are still in Ultimate and whether you can unlock characters the good old fashioned way (by satisfying specific requirements and then by beating them in a 1 on 1 match)?

Considering event matches haven't been mentioned yet and the Spirits/World of Light mode is basically a spin on event matches, I doubt they will be there in the game but wasn't sure if it was officially confirmed yet. I'm hoping you can still unlock characters by satisfying specific requirements and then by beating them in a 1 on 1 match, that was easily one of my favorite aspects of Smash.

Event Mode is gone, indeed. Source: GameXplain video from two days ago. Not sure about unlocking the characters though.

I mean Spirits seems like the clear replacement for it so that's not remotely surprising.

@Saego I figured. Since spirits are more or less events. Personally, I don't mind events being changed for this.

Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.

@Saego That makes sense, thanks for letting me know! Still hope they handle unlocking characters like Brawl did, with ways to unlock the old fashioned way as well as unlocking characters through having them join your party in World of Light.

@kkslider5552000 Yeah that's what I suspected too, it's basically a souped-up Event Match mode with context, etc.

@Captain_Toad I agree, as long as the spirit of Event matches remains that's key. Still hope they handle unlocking characters like Brawl did, with ways to unlock the old fashioned way as well as unlocking characters through having them join your party in World of Light.

So my problem with Subspace was that there was an mystery with the Ancient minister but by the time the final act happened.... Is it still spoilers? there was Ganon and Bowser acting as villans, then there was master hand, true villan? Then by the time we got to the near end game, tabuu happened without any lead-up or hint that he was there and it kinda lost steam from there. Basically an amazing Spider-Man 2 or Spider-Man 3 problem. Probably a despite bid to extend game time..Idk. The way Subspace handled the final act was a bit of a mess. The final boss being cheap and the big final stage didn't help.

So, I'm hoping that world of light gives us a clear narrative all the way from start to finish and it seems to do just that.

@shadow-wolf Both ways of unlocking seems to be the case!

I always assumed Ganondorf and Bowser just joined master hand because they enjoy the whole "being a villain" thing.

That and they probably thought something good was in it for them.

In the end, Tabuu was controlling master hand, and using the other villains to expand the subspace.

As much as I loved the cutscenes, my biggest issue with Subspace was that the platforming and PvE combat was not well integrated into Smash's mechanics.

Focusing on Event-like matches while having fanservice as modes as transportation (Surfing on Lapras or traveling in space with the Great Fox) might be a more polished experience. Hope there's more cutscenes than just an opening and ending too.

@Seacliff Subspace was still the best game on the Wii. Forget Smash, just Subspace. I mean, it was basically a Kirby game featuring most of the Nintendoverse as protagonists, in their own world environments. That was just amazing. Playing Donkey and Diddy in actual new DKC type sidescroll stages with Kirby mechanics fused with Smash mehanics was so fun. Coop having Pikachu follow Samus in a Metroid environment with elevators and all was too cool

I'm not sure if World of Light will have unique environments or just the overworld linking the main battle stages, but I'm hoping it can revive that sense of fun.

3DS Smash Run was fun but not really rewarding or inviting, and WiiU board game was just insulting.
