If you find yourself struggling to capture certain spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate after you've defeated them in battle, this week's event "Spirit Shield Slowdown" should make the entire process much less frustrating.
During this limited-time event, the roulette at the end of each spirit battle will rotate slower. You'll also earn three times the amount of SP. The event starts this Friday and will run for a few days.
Are you still collecting spirits in Super Smash Bros? Will you be participating in this next event? Tell us down in the comments.

I really wish they would just let us play the game
@PBandSmelly I'm pretty sure I saw a Labo Spirit at the Board after the event had ended. Dunno if it appeared to me because I got it during the event, who knows.
Yeah, event exclusives become available normally after some time.
I tried to make a Shantae spirit team to offset her not being in the game...
Didn't really pan out. That's the second case of a character that would really add something to the game being sorely missing. First was Sonic.
Eh, I've gotten all the spirits (so far) already, so I've been laying off on this game in the meantime.
I have not only collected all spirits, I also leveled every last one of them up to 99, even the Fighters Pass and new Labo ones.
I'm now back at maxing all my 40+ Smash Bros. amiibo.
@KingBowser86: Shantae has a huge fanbase, very active to get her into Smash. And it worked, as a spirit at least (along with some of her companions), which I consider a huge achievement for that series. Unfortunately for her, a magic female character using her hair as a weapon has been added with Bayonetta not long ago. I guess due to these similiarities, some characters get a hard miss, though Shantae's chances were slim to begin with. R.O.B. actually went in when people strongly suggested Chibi-Robo, Palutena went in when Krystal was on the height of her popularity as a female staff wielder. It's all Sakurai bias.
They need an event that is nothing but the summon only spirits, the grind necessary to get the over 100 of those is ludicrous.
@SKTTR R.O.B deserved to get in Smash more than ChibiRobo due to R.O.B having launched on the NES, and was one of the first Toys Nintendo made that could be used to interact with games, the NES zapper being another. And Palutana was a much better choice to get into Smash as a playable character than Krystal.
The technique I use to never miss is to look for when the gap is at about 7 o'clock and count 5 rotations (or 10 for legendary) and that somehow gets my brain trained to the rythmn of the spin before pressing the button. I've got to the point where nothing new seems to be coming on the board so I'm going through classic mode and looking for shop/summon exclusive spirits.
I HATE that mechanic, so this Friday, I will definitely be playing Spirit Board!
This is useful, currently only at 660 or so.
I got this game on day of release and haven't played it in 4 months.really need to get back into it
@ALinkttPresent I am confused
This is one event I'll definitely take part in. Not because of the easier to catch spirits, but the 3 times SP. This should help me finish up not only getting all the spirits, but maxing them all out too.
I hope Nintendo releases these in the shop soon. Keep asking for this to happen and nothing comes of it. The rest of the Labo Spirits have not appeared in the Shop as of yet. The game is pretty pointless now to 100%.
