Another week, another in-game event for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and this time things are getting stripey.
Yes, starting from Friday 21st May, you'll start to spot a wave of stripey Spirits appearing on the Spirit Board. These events are perfect for anyone looking to obtain very particular characters, and last for three days in total.
The official artwork for the event, which is as awesome as ever, depicts characters like Kirby, Ness, Pokémon's Ampharos, Flying Squirrel Toad, and more:
Expect all those characters and more to pop up on the Spirit Board from this Friday.
Do these regular events keep you playing, or would you jump on for regular matches regardless? Let us know in the usual place.

Pulling teeth to keep this thing going, aren’t they?
They are running out of ideas
I struggle to keep myself engaged with Spirits tbh, much preferred the trophies of past entries. I think it's down to the complete lack of any background info on them, if a Spirit isn't easily recognisable and there's nothing to tell me who they are (apart from which game series they're from) then why should I care? The only reason I have a bunch of spirits is because the World of Light was fun to play, but grinding to get an additional 400-500 spirits is not what I'd call A Fun Time™️
New Spirits are cool, but I think it's time they got a bit more wacky or creative with the Smash Tourney events. They should implement some Custom Smash elements into the tourney events like Mega size, Fast speed, Light/Heavy weight or Metal body etc. to mix things up and keep it fresh imo. Some of the spirit battle conditions make for more interesting, varied fights than just highlighting a specific item or set of characters.
... Wun can only hope.
@Otoemetry I don't mind the spirits but I agree with you the trophies were better. But they were full 3D models which I'm sure is a chore to render for each entry (especially with Ultimate having so many Spirits) so I understand the decision to just make them 2D artwork. However, I definitely am with you in that I too miss the background information though... it was like having a cool random digital video game encyclopedia. Wish they added that.
And in terms of the World of Light, I loved that mode! I'm still hoping they'll release a new or even just reworked map either as free or paid Smash DLC as I'm pretty much out of single player content in the game to get through at this point- which I prefer tbh.
... Wun can only hope.
The single player mode was meh at best and the spirit things are not at all interesting. After Smash Brawl the main single player modes they have been making have been very underwhelming
@1ofUs Considering the first one was "Spirits with glasses", they never really had ideas in the first place.
