Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

So reviews go live Thursday, right? Or is it Wednesday? I'm getting the game regardless, so reviews are irrelevant in whether or not I pick it up. I'm predicting it will sit between a 92 and 93 percent on GameRankings once a good chunk of reviews are in.

I already bought it, so....yeah. -w-

This is one game I will wait to buy for two reasons

1 to make sure the online is smooth

2 to make sure matchmaking is decent. In the past in smash I’ve either been crushed by a vastly superior opponent or crushed somebody easy. The lack of close match ups was a killer for me (in the one on one mode). The group fights tend to be too busy for me lol

Only five days left. Let the countdown commence!

@LuigiTheGreenFire Yeah tbh I'm also interested in seeing what reviewers say about the game. Though I obviously won't be affected by what they say I'm still inquisitive as to what the general consensus is among reviewers.

They're live Wednesday/Thursday? How do we know when they're live 🤔

Game's going to definitely be the highest rated in the series. If Smash 4 on Wii U managed to score as high as it did with crappy single-player, this should be much better than that.

93 is my bare minimum (which ties with Brawl).

That’s sort of like writing a For Dummies book about pooping. Everybody does it, whether they want to talk about it or not.

Four more flippin bedtimes. This is getting tense!!

I haven’t really seen anything on the Controls configuration screen. Can you control the Fighters with a D-Pad. Other things like remapping the C-Stick Controls. Just wondering in the case I want to use my Arcade Stick.

Nope, stick movement only. You can change c-stick to tilt attack or the other buttons, but that’s it. You CAN adjust stick sensitivity now, which is nice

Sorry. I'll be too busy Smashing to care about what other people think

Got the code for Piranha, I wished he was in the main game already, oh wellz. twT

@BeetonTheRobot You could use them in 4... what do you mean?

@BeetonTheRobot Ohhh, gotchya!
He was clearly waiting until the new class of fighter, Fishstick, was ready @ReaderRagfish

Probably some of my favorite Smash Ultimate footage yet:

@ReaderRagfish Mine does have that Function. Interesting to hear we also have stick sensitivity adjuster. @HobbitGamer

4 days left!

Just a question, is it necessary to buy a lan adapter for this? My wifi works good I think, for example I don't have any problems playing Splatoon 2.

@RDBC1983 It probably depends. Games like Splatoon handle lag differently from Smash. The slightest hint of input lag for Smash is awful. Which was how 4 was. I'd get the game first and test it out and decide from there.

@RDBC1983 Have you played any other fighting games online? That would probably give you the best verdict, but you should be fine if you can run Splat 2.

@Skid ok thx!
