@HobbitGamer Tell me about it! I wanted to pick up Starlink ($40 is a no-brainer), M+R Gold Edition, and God of War PS4 (IT WAS FRIGGIN' $17 AT FRIGGIN' GAMESTOP DURING BLACK FRIDAY), but my wallet took an extremely hard hit on Black Friday. Sure, I don't regret spending a lot of money (okay, maybe I do a teeny tiny bit lol), on what I bought, but man. The struggle is real haha! Thankfully I can drown my sorrows in Smash Ultimate when it releases next week.
Looking at the ridiculous, exhausting, excessively bloated character roster of SSBU, it's funny (or maybe sad) to think of this quote from Sakurai (from 2008) regarding Smash Bros:
"I'm really against the idea of merely creating a sequel that would add modes or increase the number of characters on the roster. All those sort of things that simply fatten up the game is something I'd like to avoid".
@Haywired I think Sakurai is referring more towards games that do not change up gameplay with their sequels, instead only adding new modes and characters. Ultimate really changes up the gameplay with the new tweaks, balancing, and options.
Reading: Too much Watching: Not enough Playing: SMTV
@Haywired Irrelevant to Smash considering every game is vastly different from each other, plus features very different gameplay that plays differently from each other. Being good at Smash 4 does not mean you can be good at Melee, or being good at 64 does not mean you'll be good at Brawl. Even Ultimate further changes up the gameplay and further embraces the competitive side to balance between the party and competitive aspects.
But hey, the game is just like some bloated CD album or movie, amirite?
@Haywired Oh, you meant this quote that actually had more context when presented fully with the question? As in, talking about a sequel to Brawl during the time Brawl was new.
IGN: Have you done everything you can do with the Smash Bros. franchise now? In other words, can Wii owners look forward to a Brawl sequel in the future?
Masahiro Sakurai: Well, the series has already had three iterations so I cannot say with one-hundred percent confidence that there won't be any additional Smash Bros. games ever. But, at the same time I'd really like to note that I feel like with Brawl there are already so many modes and so much to do that it's really hard to exhaust what you can do with this game. I'm really against the idea of merely creating a sequel that would add modes or increase the number of characters in the roster — all the sort of things that just simply fatten up the game. I'd like to avoid just doing that if a sequel ever came out.

I think I misinterpreted your post. I thought you were referring to the $10 and gold coins as being enough to actually get SSBU, but now I realize that is not the case.
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.

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
they say that life’s a carousel, spinning fast you’ve got to ride it well. The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams. It’s heaven and hell.
@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).
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill
I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!
Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
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
