Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

As much as i love this game, i feel like they dropped the ball on the music. Everything(except the remixes) sound the same except with a different twist, they used the same World Of Light tune for everything! It's terrible. They put so much effort in the remixes which sound phenomenal! But nothing for everything else.

@NEStalgia What pathway is this encounter on? Just want to prepare myself in case the character I chose will lead me there.

@MsJubilee is this your first Smash Bros?

....Ummmm, it has always been like this.

Amazon seems to claim this is the best selling game of the year (on amazon at least):

Can that possibly be correct? I guess it may be because the sales for COD and Red Dead are divided between 2 different platforms. So those 2 might be higher overall if you combine the platforms. Especially given that COD includes PC.

@AlternateButtons Yep. Welcome to virtual hell 😂
I’ve fought Roy for an unlock 7 times and lost. Every. Flippin. Time.
He’s a Nope button at this point. I had to go play Woodle’s Adventure to get the salt out of me.

@AlternateButtons Jigglypuff with a good player or AI can go absolute beast mode. I got 4 KOs on some really good players online just with sing, then rest. It is still much better than what happened to me: I got destroyed by Peach twice while using good characters (I think one of them was Captain Falcon).
@HobbitGamer Have you used another sword-user or long ranged character against him? Those seem to work well against FE fighters.

@HobbitGamer I feel your pain, but with Chrom. The little turd KO'd me many a time trying to unlock him.

@AlternateButtons Some of the buffs/debuffs are kind of ridiculous. Jigglypuff was always very strategic, but now I think the rest time was shortened. I’m kind of bummed that Captain Falcon and DK got weakened, I loved those guys in Brawl (at least I think they got debuffs). Buffing Mario and weakening Link’s down air was a smart move, though.

@PolarExperience I’ve used Marth, Link, Samus, Lucario, Ridley. Gonna try Simon next and do some zone control.
At least it keeps fighters coming and doesn’t stop when you fail an unlock

@HobbitGamer Yeah, Simon is a good choice if you don’t an FE character other than Marth, such as Ike.

@HobbitGamer hmm no sheik yet. Capt falcon seems a little better. Just kirby, villager, lucario, Mario, Pikachu, and falcon so far. Falcon seems a little better.... But it's still 135% vs 37% most matches

@PolarExperience villager path.

@Dezzy VGA 2019: best fighting game: DoA6....

@DarthNocturnal why not 801? It's 2018, Nintendo!

@NEStalgia Thanks, that’s a relief.

Families don't buy games as much as young men (lets say ages 15-40) though so that doesn't necessarily tell you anything about the total sales.

The differences in install based are also a major factor. I'd be shocked if Smash outsells Red Dead over its lifetime. That strikes me as very unlikely.

Wow, unlocking characters for other modes via World of Light is a bad idea. This is going to take a long time and I still only have 1 of my mains (Shulk).

@AlternateButtons Try Samus, Fox, or any other long ranged character if you haven’t already. Fast characters can also evade Jigglypuff’s attacks.

Just beat Galeem on Hard difficulty. That was a REALLY damn good fight! Sakruai never ceases to impress with his bosses. I didn't think he could make a better boss than Tabuu from Brawl and Master Core from Smash 4, but damn.

Even Master + Crazy Hand is even better than the previous bosses. These bosses are, once again, a huge highlight of single-player.

@AlternateButtons RankedBoost suggests that Cloud, Bayo, Pac-Man, Samus, and Toon Link are powerful against Jigglypuff.

@AlternateButtons That’s the one part I hate about the character unlocks. Nintendo made so much of a big deal about the characters being in order of appearance in Smash, but the unlocks are totally random except for in Classic mode. That and the sudden AI difficulty spikes.
