Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

When the previous events only increased the chances to get certain spirits on the board, I was happy they didn't pull that timed exclusives crap here. Remind me to never give any credit to a game until it's been out for a year or two.

Just have them show up in the event slots now and put them in the normal rotation after the event.

@DarkSim01 Ohhh! I gotchya now! Yeah, sounds like a ‘control profile’ name like you did is the only current way to go.
I thought you were only gonna be using a GC, not switching between.

@JackEatsSparrows yeah, the only reason ill be switching is when my fiance plays. She gets the button labels mixed up, so the GC controller is easier for her since the buttons are different sizes and shapes. I let her use that and I go back to the pro.

Oh well, I guess this is the only solution for now.

OH COME ON!! I can't play this game while waiting for another to download?! >.<

...I just bought Katamari Damacy, thought about playing some Smash and getting spirits while waiting for the download. Nope, download pauses. TwT

@Tsurii ...it's just a video game

@Tsurii @Grumblevolcano - this is likely going to mean there is an incentive to have certain events return over time. Ultimately giving them a reason for people to play them again; to finish what they started.

@CharlieSmile - That's not a really good excuse. "It's just X" is an extreme dismissal of what others are more passionate about. Many see the stickers to be an end-goal to collect and "conquer" am aspect of the game Not everyone is game on just beating their own score over and over on Classic. Events like this is like restricting Power Moons on an anniversary event in Odyssey, or dungeons in Zelda on holidays.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way of telling at a glance which spirits on the Spirit Board you need for your collection and which you already have? In the shops they say 'New' above them but doesn't seem to happen on spirit board?

@Ooccoo_Jr I know that if you already beat and collected the scenario, it will display a “Clear!” Icon in the upper left. Dunno if the differentiates between WoL and Spirit Board, tho.

@Ooccoo_Jr If you have the spirit there's a tick next to the difficulty of it.

@Grumblevolcano @JackEatsSparrows brilliant, thanks both I was sure there would be something obvious I'd missed. Just the 500 left to go!

I've been playing online with spirits on... I won 16 battles in a row using my strongest spirit combo. Unfortunately there seems to exist one extremely broken spirit combo, perhaps it's even an abused bug. I've seen multiple players use it: it's our captain Olimar, but he's doing at least 50% damage with every hit. You can imagine it's not really fun to play against!

You know, I really have no idea how you guys that beat wol in a weekend managed. I'm weeks in on normal, and all just now working my way up the right side of the map after the light barrier drops. 3 and 4 start fights are still excessively difficult as well...4 star especially, of course.

@NEStalgia More pain and suffering awaits you, I’m afraid 😂

@NEStalgia There are some extremely OP Spirit setups since I beat WoL that can really make mince meat out of opponents. For example on NG+ and the Spirit Board, I've been using Little Mac with a level 99 3-slot primary Spirit with the Giant Zapfish Spirit (makes you big for the beginning of the match) plus Victini (increases the power of your Smash attacks) make you a complete god of destruction. Since Little Mac has innate superarmor on Smash attacks, you can literally punch through anything and do over 100% damage per forward Smash.

I call it the Big Mac cheese.

That said, on my first playthrough I just marathoned it like it ain't no thing. Then again I live for torture, apparently :^[

@EvilLucario honesty i think a lot of these wol battles are pure bs. People say the tekken 7 season 2 ai is cheating button reading garbage, but i think wol takes that to the next level.

James mccloud, the boss, the horrid 8 metal mega men. Yuck. I can blow an hour on each daily and never get anywhere.

Then some 3 stars the enemy just blues themselves up and I win without doing anything. Or giant Bowser in.. Forget the spirit, just sat there while i pummeled him with Yoshi eggs for like 88%

@NEStalgia Oh The Boss and Dr Wily suck ass, no doubt. But with the right Spirits they go down easy. Give the Big Mac strategy a shot perhaps?

Once I unlocked Link, I used a metal support and Victini like they were part of me. And that skill tree. I only had 2 bubbles to fill when I started NG+

I generally use whatever the auto select chooses for me. It's a fighting game not a freaking trading card game

@NEStalgia That might be part of your struggles, actually. I’ve had primaries at 99, and the auto select would choose something at 12. Don’t even get me started on the autos for secondaries. Why would I ever choose lip stick over critical defense?? 😂

Man, over 20 hours in and I finally unlocked everyone! Man, I am so bad at this game!
