Topic: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Hey All,

I played the life out of smash 64 back in the day and never really given the newer versions a chance until ultimate. After playing around with it and learning the mechanics of the game I've come to the conclusion of a few things.

I enjoy the online more so than WoL. And I only play 1v1 no items.

I find WoL quite overwhelming in terms of what spirits do and builds etc, not really much thought goes into to it. Heck most of my time I'm just auto selecting my team.

I really dislike the amount of items in this game.

So my question is. Is there anything you guys might think I am missing with regards to getting more out this game?

Thanks.

This is maddening! I'm on 99.83% completion on World of Light and I've backed tracked across the entire world multiple times now and can't find anymore spirits.

@jump Have you gotten all 3 endings? If not, that's where the rest of the completion is.

@jump There's a glitch in one of the areas that marks it as cleared even if you missed a spirit there. I think it might be the one in the top left corner in WoL, the temple.

@Benjoo World of Light is a lot more fun (and easier) if you pick your own team rather than using auto-select, which tends to be pretty random and useless. Try to train at least one primary spirit of each type (grab/attack/defend/neutral) to level-99 (especially high-rank spirits and spirits that say "enhanceable" on them). Also look at your skill tree and try to figure out what would be most useful (double final smash and fast-charging final-smash meter are good ones to work toward when you're starting out). As you progress you'll unlock a gym for training spirits as well as expeditions where the spirits can search for useful items (as well as increase their levels).

It's a lot to take in at first, and it's hard to give specific advice without looking at individual battles, but it's quite enjoyable once you get the hang of it. It kind of reminds me of Pokemon, in that you have to level-up/battle/capture/evolve your various spirits.

what are some good general tips for a Kirby main?
I'm pretty good playing friendly matches and playing online, but I keep getting my butt handed to me at tournaments.

@Tsurii There's 4 fighters in the final area, 2 are visible from the start and 2 are revealed when you complete certain battles in that area.

Im using the mekkon spirit of xc that become the fighter big and metallic , only have 1 slot and i put in there the ugly palutena that increase the time of transformations. After use this combo one time the game automatically shows the credits because it know you are unable to lose.😎

@Venus_Adept does the transformation time indeed stack on the ‘start metal’ and ‘start giant’ stuff? I wondered, but never tried

@JackEatsSparrows oh yeah man. Even when you touch y button on the metal face spirit (i think thats the name i just call it mekkon) the game suggest you tu use the uggly palutena one. I think this by itself could be taken as a proof.

Is there really not a single song from Xenoblade Chronicles X in the game? I have 11 Xenoblade tracks in the audio section. Is that all there is? It seems odd to have eight Xenoblade Chronicles tracks and three Xenoblade Chronicles 2 tracks, but not a single track from Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Since knowing that characters come with their own set of music tracks, is there still hope for a Xenoblade Chronicles X character? Elma, Lin, Lao, and Tatsu (and the Skell Formel) are already spirits. Unfortunately it looks like Elma's out, so is there a possibility for one of the other characters to be a DLC fighter? I don't think anyone is more important in Xeno X than Elma, Lin, Lao, and Tatsu except the playable main character/avatar Cross. He/she could still make a surprise appearance, right? He/she would have to be hugely variable in his 8 alts, maybe having 8 of the nicest sets of armor? The game had tons of different sets of awesome-looking armor! (The same would also apply for a Monster Hunter avatar and a Dragon Quest avatar DLC fighter).

Or are there indeed Xenoblade X tracks in the game that I just haven't unlocked yet?

I haven't unlocked any Chibi-Robo music as well, but with a Chibi-Robo spirit, a Super-Chibi-Robo spirit, a Telly spirit, and a Drake Redcrest spirit, there doesn't seem to be room for any other major Chibi-Robo character except for the Family Sanderson. But that would be hilarious. ^^

I've noticed another under-representation. While many new Switch games like Splatoon 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, ARMS, Sushi Striker, and Snipperclips are represented, Labo is totally absent. Does that mean, Labo Man is coming to Smash?

@SKTTR The XC1 songs from Wii U and 3 XC2 songs are the only Xenoblade songs in Smash. Chances of Xenoblade fighter DLC seems very low if spirits are an indication, best hope for XCX music would probably be XCX port coming to Switch and a standalone stage being released to promote it like the Super Mario Maker stage in 2015.

@SKTTR I legit want to see Robot Kit be a DLC fighter now, thanks.

Kid Dracula (悪魔城すぺしゃる ぼくドラキュラくん Akumajō Supesharu: Boku Dorakyura-kun, Demon Castle Special: I'm Kid Dracula") is a comical gothic-themed platform game video game, and a spinoff to Castlevania. It is simultaneously a remake and a sequel to the 1990 Famicom game Akumajō Special: Boku Dracula-kun (悪魔城すぺしゃる ぼくドラキュラくん, literally "Demon Castle Special: Kid Dracula") which was released in Japan only. Konami released the title for the Game Boy in 1993 in Japan and North America.

My hot take is, that that the assignment happened in the japanese version ad they never changed it for the international releases.

I’ve got the LABO robot visor for mii fighters, and I think the suit is in the coin shop.

You're right, I didn't check the Mii headgear and costumes for cameos.

Ok, so now I completed all the challenges (everything except the online part; time to get NSO).

I got all the music and Mii gear as well (checked for that as the game doesn't mention when you have them all),
and I beat WoL twice 100%, second time on NG+.
I'm only missing the Let's Go Pikachu and Evee spirits (1300/1302 spirits).

I'm still repeating the Spirit Board to beat all the spirits I have formerly bought, and I finally got some pretty hard ones beaten like Smash Ball and Pyra thanks to having lots of Revenge Cards and Bonus Items for these fights. It's tedious to check off all the spirits from my list once again, but I'm almost done with it and then I can say for sure that I beat every spirit in the game.

I've also marked one of each spirit as a favourite to level them up to max (and not delete them accidentally). I'm halfway through with it, having at least all the 4 stars legends and the 75 evolved spirits on max (those take the longest to level up, the rest will be a quick breeze).

I never used a Dojo. I'm scared they change the default max stats of my spirits.

Next steps to 100%:
1. Make sure all fighters on the Spirit Board are defeated, not bought.
2. Level up all spirits to 99.
3. Get NSO to do the online challenges of the game.
4. Get Fighters Pass to get the missing Rex Mii costume and headgear along with the new DLC fighters.
5. Wait for a friend to bring me the Pokémon Let's Go games or wait for another way to get them.

@SKTTR Can't knock your commitment gg

In honor of SSB 64's 20th anniversary yesterday, I broke out the N64 and gave it a go. It's been a while and, uh, wow things sure have changed in those 20 years.

@subpopz I think the preferences for quick play only try for a certain amount of time in favor of getting players into any game, honestly.

Have you tried checking out the arenas? If someone sets an arena for “Beginners”, then folks over a certain GSP can’t join it. It helps balance, I think. Conversely, I can’t create an arena with a lower lever than Veteran due to my GSP, so I can’t be a spoil sport.
I’d suggest trying it out. Or you can hit me on the NL discord if I’m ever on and you want to practice, since you’ve got my tag
