@Tsurii @Mordridakon It's definitely Kapp'n. But it has to be the boat Kapp'n spirit, and not Kapp'n (Wild World) which has him as a bus driver.

@PolarExperience That's great, where do you find this Kapp'n?

@Mordridakon you avoid him. Just give up. Go home. Don't bother. You're not a hero. It's hopeless. There no point even trying.

Seriously, I've tried like 30 times. Here's in the North Central area of the villager path near a store, east of the yarn area. It's a battle against clown car Iggy with high winds on a map mostly in water. It's abusive. he spams attacks in air, and has invincibility frames all the time. Maybe DK or someone could do it, but do far it's almost worse than the Bayonetta dash spam battle.

Anyone up for answering my question about photo mode yet? Can you rotate all the way round the characters, or are you fixed to the front side only a la Smash 4?

I feel like the camera mode thing is limited here compared to past games. :/

@EvilLucario Since you already beat WoL, do you know if you can backtrack later on to get the spirits that were missed? Or is there not a way to get all of them?

Then I'm missing something, I wanted to take a screenshot that happened on the right side of a stage, and I couldn't pan all the way there.

@NEStalgia Found him. I see your point, but bringing a swimmer spirit and high winds resist/immunity spirit will at least make it bearable.

OK, yesterday I had no trouble with the online mode. Tried a match today and it was a lag fest! Could it have depended on the opponent’s connection?

@PolarExperience Galeem is not the final boss. You can backtrack though.

I'm looking for a Rainbow Pokemon, does that mean enduring Curry Charizard or is there a different one I should be looking for?

@Grumblevolcano Ho-oh is in a dungeon I believe.

@EvilLucario That's the one I'm on about, the Ho-oh spirit is Curry Charizard.

EDIT: Nevermind, tried it again and it was much easier this time. It spammed Flare Blitz.

@Grumblevolcano Spirits are very instrumental to your success. Make sure your overall rating is as high as it can be and equip Spirits that either deal with the match in question (for example, equipping anti-hazard Spirits) or really buffs the big positives of your fighter (for example, super-armor at the cost of making you REALLY slow like Ganondorf or Bowser).

At least on Hard difficulty, it can mean the difference between rampant failures and success. Although some 4-star Spirits like The Boss could really kiss my ass.

Also, the skill tree makes a massive difference. Stuff like Metal Killer made Spirits like Tabuu and Dr. Wily so much easier.

First impressions....

The gameplay feels terrific. This is probably the best physics engine yet in Smash. It's not too fast, not too floaty.
World of Light is pretty fun. It can be repetitive, have difficulty spikes, and too long to get characters. But other than that, I'm digging it.
Classic is really fun. I like the unique paths for each character.
Why have every stage unlocked at the beginning if you have to unlock almost every character and 100+ songs? Would've liked the rewarding feeling of unlocking stages.

On the Joker reveal...
Yet another character out of left-field with very little Nintendo connections. Anyone and anything can make it in Smash at this point. I'm really only buying the DLC pass at some point to have all the fighters and stages. If the rest of the picks are like this, color me disappointed.

@Delibheel Brawl and Melee didn't have this problem. Both had music that were actually unique and didn't use the same tune for everything.

Found another seemingly impossible battle: lucina and shulk in guar plains and a defense down hazard. Definitely can't get very far. Haven't ko'd either of them so far!

@Mordridakon i do have both spirits but have yet to best him

....Um, yeah they did, I have no idea what you're talking about. lol

My kids are absolutely enthralled with the WoL mode. They didn't even want to play fortnite all weekend to play this lol! Been great so far and I'm shocked by how good they're getting so quickly. Game is definitely going to be in regular rotation for a while!

@subpopz It's a spruced up Event Mode that also doubles as a quiz-game in seeing which Spirit reference you get. There were a ton I didn't get, which made me really interested to see what's coming next to see what kind of Spirits came in.

I'm also playing on Hard difficulty which really makes encounters a bit more interesting imo.
