After the frenzy around the final character reveal for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, we're now in the home stretch before Sora drops and concludes the DLC and updates for the iconic platform fighter. It's a big deal for those that have devoted a lot of time and, indeed, money to the game, while for the rest it's a bit of a toss up as to whether or not to drop money on the Kingdom Hearts hero.
As one perspective, this scribe played the game a lot in the first 3-4 months after release, but fell away as online play could sometimes be rather laggy and, probably the bigger reason, most players were too good. Practice makes perfect, yes — git gud and all that — but after a few dozen hours and a lot of fun it was time to play other games. It was a great purchase and is a nice part of the collection, but there's been no personal motivation to go back even as the multiple fighter passes and additions have rolled in.
On the other side, though, Smash Bros. remains a big part of the weekly gaming schedule for a lot of players. We have members of the NL team that play in a lot of lunch hours, and the excitement around character reveals has shown that each new addition has a large and eager audience. And why not? Smash Bros. remains a hugely enjoyable game, whether you're a chilled out button spamming player or a well practiced and skilled fighter.
If you've been all-in on the Smash Bros. DLC you may have spent pretty much the retail price all over again, especially if you dipped in on Mii Costumes. In terms of the main content there have been two Fighter Passes combining for 11 characters and their stages / music; there's been a lot.
So, which sort of Smash Bros. player are you? Did you fall away like this scribe, or have you been following the game's updates and DLC over the past couple of years? Let us know in the polls and comments below!

Don't have any. I'd be more motivated if I didn't already have a main (Ridley) and wasn't a casual player.
I've only ever bought Sans, but have all of the Fighter's Passes
I've got it all. I love keeping this game complete. I just wish the Miis weren't the only ones who got costume DLC. There's so much potential for more than 50% of the roster.
Awesome game either way! Love it a whole lot.
I couldn’t be bothered to buy the fighter pass. I always just bought them as they came out.
I've purchased everything Smash has to offer in-game except for the upcoming Mii Fighters because you can't preorder those for some reason
I was holding off on buying any of the passes until a character I really wanted to play as got released. That never ended up happening so none. I actually haven't played the game (on my Switch at least) since the DLC started releasing anyway.
I bought every single one of the fighters and a few mii outfits individually.
I have only got the first fighter pass even then I only really ever use Banjo Kazooie, someday I will get the second but right now I am happy with the characters I have, BK is all I ever wanted as a character.
Bought separately, I have every character and every stage. I’ve got a few of the Mii costumes. That’s enough
I bought both Fighters Passes, but none of the costumes.
I got both fighters passes, just need to wait until the Sora DLC downloads. I only bought a few Mii costumes.
Bought both passes, although I'm probably in the minority here as a fighting game fan that's more interested in competitive play. More fighters are more fighters to learn. Keeps the game interesting.
Mii outfits fall under an entirely separate category, though. I bought a few I thought were worth it, like the Deluxe ones that came with music tracks and costumes of characters I liked. Other than that, I didn't have a desire to buy them all.
Got everything there is to get, kind of have to since its the biggest crossover game ever. It wouldn't be right not getting all the Mii outfits (despite the fact I never ever use them).
As an aside, I basically have everything in the game done and unlocked. All classic modes, all rewards, every single spirit porperly owned once at their highest level (this took a massive amount of time with 3 separate 100% runs of world of Light to do, as well as what felt like a million years in the dojo to level up when I lacked enough spirit points to level up characters that way). This game is massive beyond belief.
I only bought Byleth as I loved the father Houses. I’m interested in some other characters but I’m doubt I’d ever get the fighter passes unless they went on sale.
None. I don't even have the game anymore.
I own both passes and haven't played in MONTHS 😂
(reminder that this is just my opinion, not a fact)
I got both, on Fighters Pass 1 I got Erdrick and Banjo-Kazooie, and that set the bar a little too high for me.
Fighters Pass 2 had nothing but disappointing characters except for Kazuya and Sora (I haven't played Kingdom Hearts, but even I am excited to play as him, that's how low my opinion for Fighters Pass 2 is). Min Min and Pyra/Mythra should've been among the first DLC characters. Regardless, none of that matters now that now Everyone is (Finally) Here!
As for Mii costumes, I get one every now and then, but I usually gave priority to those who included music or those who represent third-party characters who aren't playable, like Bomberman, Altair, Heihachi Mishima (prior to Kazuya), Vault Boy, Travis Touchdown and now Doomguy.
EDIT:I t's a shame we seemingly won't get DLC stages outside those from the DLC fighters. I want to fight on Sector Z , Planet Zebes, Mute City (Melee), Poké Floats, Wooly World, Rainbow Road and Orbital Gate Assault, Pac-Maze and Pyrosphre (though I understand why this stage isn't available).
I have both passes, partly because of the extra content in terms of Spirits, Classic Mode, etc., but also because if I bought characters based on my personal connection to them, I'd only have Steve lol, and I would've missed out on Hero, Terry, Sephiroth, and Kazuya, all characters I really enjoy playing. Just like having everything. I've picked up every Mii costume that's fully modeled or has a song, and my brother bought Altair
The only DLC fighter I have is Piranha Plant which I got for free, but I also bought the Sans costume. Worth it just for the Megalovania remix.
All but if we are being honest I have not unlocked all of the roster.
Except for minecraft, i skipped that character.
I've only got Piranha Plant and a few Mii outfits. Honestly, the DLC doesn't interest me much personally.
Planning to get FP #2 tonight, already have FP #1
I'm regretting buying fighters pass 2 If I had known 3 of them were gonna be rpg generic's I would've just brought separately.
I got both passes just for the principle of having the complete roster, and overall I did not regret it. I'm not a competitive player, but the new spirit events have kept me coming back, and now that everyone is here, I might do a replay of World of Light.
As for Mii costumes, I only bought the three that came with music tracks, but I might pick one or two others of characters that I like.
@Matl Why did you have to do World of Light three times? I also have one of every spirit at max level, but I only had to do two full runs to get them all, unless I missed something.
Bought both fighters passes and a few Miis. I bought the Sans and Cuphead ones only for the music as that's my favorite thing to collect. I'm really upset that I'll be down 1 song 'cause I don't own Melody of Memory.
I bought it twice. Once on wiiU and once on Switch. So I didn’t buy any DLC but I would like the ARMs character, Banjo and Crash Bandicoot
Off topic from the DLC packs. I had smash upon release and really didnt got on with the mechanics despite usually loving a good beat em ups. Its just didnt feel natural. I just found it felt weird to control so ended up selling only a few days after getting it. Ive fanvied grabbing it again for a while now but obvioustly dont want to be in the same boat. Is it a game thats taken other people a while for it to click with or is it a game you either love or hate?
TIA.
I bought a few Mii costumes, but I don't have any of the DLC fighters. I might get them at some point, it just isn't a priority for me.
DLC is bad for gaming
@Metalllhead that’s what Nintendo fans used to say until Nintendo did it. Just like games being complete at launch and online being free.
smash always feels like such an event when a new game comes out, i already love smash so i like having all the dlc fighters regardless of who they are
I have tried and tried and tried to get into Smash games since the very first one but I simply do not enjoy them. I have enjoyed collecting the Amiibos more than playing the games.
Banjo and Kazooie, Min Min, Byleth, and soon Sora.
I realized when I got Banjo that I now only play the new fighters a bit and get bored so im not going for all of them anymore. Plus without couch co op there’s something less magical, maybe im just old and boring now.
Just Barrett mii costume and sephiroth
@Madder128 Melee is such an antiquated game, but more power to those willing to look past its faults.
@sixrings They we’re bulwark against these practices. They aren’t anymore. It’s the industry as a whole, we have been conditioned to accept this. It made no sense for Nintendo to be against something that gamers seemingly have allowed and accepted.
@Fantasia I have no clue, I needed three runs probably for a couple specific spirits that didn't show up often on the spirit board, since some spirits show up only in WoL and were needed for certain summonable spirits from what I remember. Plus having the massive influx of repeat spirits meant I could dismiss them for their cores and spirit points for easier levelling up.
It was also just something I could do when I just felt like booting up the game for a little bit and not deal with the online modes, kept me busy. New spirit board additions are usually over in minutes dues to broken spirit teams and using items to reduce waiting for other spirits introduced, and have very rarely given me more than 5 minutes of actual fighting to get them.
Is this game worth picking up now still? Like is it still very well populated and super quick to find games
@Kidfunkadelic83 You're not alone, I've been playing Smash since the first game and it has taken me time to get into Ultimate.
Let me put it another way. In Smash 4, I was able to get a 100% win ratio in 1-on-1 online for more than 100 consecutive matches, in Ultimate I'm stupidly lucky if I get two victories in a row online. It doesn't help that almost everyone I've played online with feels like they're tourney players, though I've noticed that's also the biggest flaw of some players. Sometimes I feel Ultimate more like a spamfest with very little strategy.
I brought both passes as I wanted all the content regardless, especially the music. I feel like I could of theoretically only just brought the first one as the only character I cared for of the second pass was Kazuya. Regarding Sora, I have no affinity with Disney, or affinity with Final Fantasy, so the last reveal was the equivalent of a cricket chirping to me. Squenix representation was very present in Ultimate. That said, no regrets getting both passes.
I have not had a stable income since around when Joker came out. Joker was the last one I have been able to purchase.
However, I would still be under five even if I had all of the money in the world to throw around - the vast majority of the DLC characters have been completely unappealing to me. (Minecraft character? Meh. More bulky fist fighting dudes? No thanks. ANOTHER FE character? For the love of god, please stop. A character from the not-so-successful one-off franchise ARMS? Meh.)
These are the three I plan on purchasing once I have money again: Sora, Sephiroth, and Banjo & Kazooie.
@Kidfunkadelic83 The buffering took a couple months maybe more for me to get over but now it's fine and feels like any other Smash game once you've gotten used to them, although I wouldn't hate if they made it a bit less laggy in the Deluxe version.
I got the free piranha plant and might have bought one fighter. But I'm not sure why I even did, I don't play it. I did for a bit but it seems so laggy on my wifi that online sucks, and my wife doesn't play. So I did single player stuff for a while and eventually just left it alone
I bought both fighter passes. The only fighter I didn't want was Joker but didn't have much choice. Would happily remove him and his stage from my game if I could.
I bought the first fighter pass, but aren't really sold on pack 2. May just get Sora.
@UltimateOtaku91
If you were asking me personally, no. I haven't been able to really enjoy it. But if you love fighting games, Nintendo, and a wild ride, for sure. You'll still find online matches fairly easily, especially right now as Sora just released
@HammerGalladeBro i never even got to try online. Just facing computer controlled opponents was a struggle for me. I went for young link as he seemed pretty easy to use and looked like he had a fun move set but i will admit that i struggled to even land up attacks etc. I also didnt like having to fight for the smash attacks as opposed to building up a bar by attacking/taking damage. It all felt a bit alien to me but i do regret not giving it more of a go before selling it. My daughter is also nugging me for it.
I own all the DLC fighters, Min min was like the one I didnt want but you know.
I've bought all the characters except Byleth.
I get it, Sakurai likes Fire Emblem.
Forever salty that another Fire Emblem character was chosen over another Zelda character.
Everyone is here.
Only the first fighter pass so far. Sora and Pyra/Mythra have convinced me to get the 2nd one.
Ugh... part of me really wants to buy both Fighters Pass, but it’s also pretty expensive... do you guys think it’s worth it?
I've basically bought the Piranha Plant who wasn't in either of the DLC bundles 'cuz I was late to Switch, and that's it so far.
I've considered picking up the fighter's passes and Mii outfits sometimes, but stuff like other games and Animal Crossing Amiibo are higher priority for me than fighters in a game I only play occasionally.
I bought Joker, Banjo and Steve. I might buy Sora at some point, but for me it wouldn't have been worth buying both Fighter's Passes, as I wasn't hugely interested in the other characters and don't play Smash that frequently
Both Fighters Pass, and a few of the costumes.
All the fighter passes because it’s a good deal compared to other fighting game season passes because each one in a pass comes with character, stage, and lots of music.
Only bought the mii stuff that came with music
Also gonna add Smash peaked at Ultimate. That flex stats in the end for the game doesn’t lie.
I bought Hero, and Joker, and I haven't played with either of them. Now, ask me how many amiibo's I bought? ALL OF THEM!
Anyone in this chat still crying over Geno technically not being in haha
dont even own the game yet
I bought Banjo Kazooie... for nostalgia
Terry... because he is so much fun (I tried him at my friend's house)
Steve... because I have 8 kids who are Minecraft fans
Plus the Cuphead Mii... because I love Cuphead
Also got Piranha Plant because I bought the game at launch.
Bought Banjo, Min Min and Kazuya. None of the rest appealed to me so I'm glad I didn't get the packs prior to announcements.
I got Fighters Pass 2 only, don’t really see value in Mii costumes, but I got Cuphead and Sans
Bought both passes, how else would I learn to fight against the newcomers if I don'r have them to practice with?
As for Mii Costumes I have Sans and might buy Dragonborn and Doomslayer.
Got all the DLC so far.
@CharlieGirl Sakurai liking FE has little to do with the DLC, as Nintendo picks the franchises
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/02/sakurai_knows_smash_bros_has_too_many_fire_emblem_characters_but_its_nintendos_fault
I bought the first Fighters Pass I honestly wasn't planning on buying the second one. But I came into a couple of surprise eShop cards. So I just bought it for completion sake
Edit: I also think it's worth it to try everyone out at least once
I’ve only played the original Smash and Ultimate. I kind of figured I’d end up quitting once I unlocked every character, and that’s exactly what happened. Traded it in to GameStop at some point. I don’t really play anything online anymore so ehh. Still, the Sora trailer was a damn triumph.
I might pick up both the Fighter's Passes before the double gold points offer ends, now all the Fighters are out.
None, you don't "own" digital DLC.
Different strokes for different folks, but I just can't understand owning Smash Ultimate and only buying 1-2 DLC characters. My anal retentiveness would and does require me to have all the characters. It's such an important aspect of the game. Sure, Mii costumes, whatever. Songs, maybe, yeah. But not having all the characters is, to me, straight up missing a big chunk of the game.
I bought all of the dlcs, but I must say, as for one who only play 1v1v1 local sofa gameplay, all dlc fighters are OP. 🙂 And of those DLC, I only have nostalgic feelings for BanjoKazooie, Sephiroth and Piranha Plant. 🙂👍
I have everything. One of my favorite things that comes out with each fighter is the new music. This game's soundtrack is something else.
I got all the Mii Fighter costumes, but the thing with me is, I use MyNintendo Gold Points to get most of them, I only spend actual money on the ones I really like/want, like the Sans or Cuphead costumes.
I've got both passes and Sora officially redeemed Byleth in my eyes.
Yes, you've read that right. I started smiling upon looking back at the "Byleth Joins Smash House" and "Byleth... recruits Byleth!" screens for the first time. That's how much the keyslinger means to me.
I have a confession to confess... and this is admittedly cheap and cheezy of me, but since I haven't felt compelled to invest in the Smash Bros. Fighter Pass 2 yet (hoping for an eventual discount, I'd rather use $40 on a new game most times), whenever a new character is released I play online as Kirby to steal the new characters power and get one new move to try lmao.
Otherwise my mains are King Dedede, Cloud & Lucas.
Sidenote: Random needs to be added as a character selection to Online Smash & tournaments (and the true selection shouldn't be revealed until the match starts and be different every match) smh I like mixing things up and variety when I play.
... Wun can only hope.
A Smash Bros. Mii Fighter Costume DLC Collection including all the individual releases would be nice if it's for cheap.
I've never bothered to get any of these Mii costumes because it's a hassle and not worth it to purchase each one to me... especially since the Switch Eshop inexplicably still doesn't have a cart option to purchase more than one item at a time smh. A bundle or collection would be nice and likely sell more than the individual packs, even more fitting now that all the post-release content has come to an end imo.
... Wun can only hope.
Maybe it’s because I’m from the nes days but I refuse to pay 60 dollars for a game and then pay more for missing content. It’s a ***** practice and should be done away with.
I got both Fighters Passes, got Piranha Plant for free, and have bought every Mii Fighter outfit to date. I don’t usually go for completion, but Smash is a special case.
I remember I was so angry because Geno wasnt included in the game's release that I said I wasnt gonna get the game. Got the game on launch xD very difficult to stay mad at a game that includes Cloud at launch, and eventually got Joker, Hero, Sephiroth and Sora 🤷♂️ Got both passes (though I believe byleth and the XBC2 duo are a waste) and all mii costumes xD I just loved Smash Bros Ultimate
Geno was a longshot I guess
I got Banjo Kazooie, I couldn't resist...
Bought both packs today to take advantage of double coin return. I really don't care for any of the additional characters but I love the additional music and stages.
I never bought smash bros ultimate sorry
I play Smash enough that owning all the characters and stages is warranted on that alone, I also like to make use of the roster. One of the big benefits of Smash are the simplified controls compared to more proper fighting games which lets you easily just pick up and play mostly anyone, so there's no need to stick with just a handful of characters.
Brought both Passes as soon as Pyra and Mythra were revealed. XD
I got the free Piranha Plant... But those prices are absurd. If every original fighter and level read the price of the DLC you'd have to pay over $400 for the game.
Got all the DLC fighters and only a few of the Mii outfits (mainly the fully custom ones like Sans and Cuphead). Smash Ultimate, aside from a fighter, is also Nintendo's (and nearly all of console gaming's) greatest museum of its own history, an accomplishment that's severely unlikely to be matched let alone topped. In that spirit, I felt an emotional need to own the "complete package", even if I have little personal connection or history with most of the expanded roster.
I also feel like a complete outlier in that I primarily enjoy the single-player experiences of Smash games, since after 64, the series' competitive play quickly evolved into to a form incompatible with my very basic playstyle, and attempts to adapt have been unsuccessful and unfun. I just don't enjoy spending 90% of the match off the stage with no ground beneath and fretting over whether I or my opponent has more recovery moves left (it's always my opponent).
So I completed WoL/D, all Classic modes cleared, and have practically all spirits and achievements unlocked and fully powered. And now I only boot it up a few times a years when a new fighter or news spirits are added to the game. Sometimes I turn it on just to run the music player while I'm doing other work. It'll be interesting to see how often I'll check back in after finishing all the single-player content Sora brings with them.
@Luigisghost669 I mean, I agree with what you say in principal, but Smash Bros Ultimate was a complete game when it launched. This isn't like Street Fighter X Tekken where content was on the disc. All the DLC you can buy (with the exception of a couple of Mii costumes) is brand new, and does not feature characters who were in previous games.
I have the first fighter's pass, but not the second.
The reveals as much as I enjoy them haven't pulled me back into playing the game, and it's also the circumstances of not being able to go into the work office that have stopped me playing as much.
i only have piranha plan and steve but i want to buy min min and terry bogard
I did not get the second fighters pass until about halfway through the reveals, but that's more of a sign of my time/age vs how good I think they are.
When I was younger, I wore melee/brawl out, doing a sort of fight card approach on paper and playing one character vs the rest being level 9 people. Fun times. One weekend, I'll do that again.
I currently have 4, Sora will be 5th. Thinking about Kazuya.
Got nothing for Mii characters. I don't use them at all.
@MS7000 then save them for another game or add them for free but to charge me half the price of a full game for characters. I have never once in my life paid for a dlc or expansion or anything. Never have never will. I can’t get more full games instead of the piddlely stuff dlc affords.
Have been waiting for the game to become "complete" like this before I went out and bought anything. The only DLC fighter I have is Piranha plant from when it was free.
I bought every dlc character but Minecraft Steve and Kazuya. Everyone is bound to have letdowns and those were mine.
I've bought quite a few mii costumes. I seem to get more mii costumes of characters I actually like than actual reveals themselves.
I bought the second fighter's pass for Min Min and Steve... I want the first for Banjo-Kazooie but haven't gotten around to it yet.
I only have Banjo
Yeah, separately, I bought Banjo/Kazooie and Sephiroth. I’ll probably buy Sora. I like to think I’ll eventually buy them all but I don’t have a connection to a lot of the characters. I’ll never complain though… I think the roster is nothing short of mind melting but yeah. That’s my two cents.
I have all the smash fighters and all the mii fighter costumes bar 2 I think. I have enjoyed making the mii fighters using Miis of members of the family and myself of course. Lol
Not really sure why you'd buy more than one individually. Maybe if there's just one character you really like then yeah but after that you may as well just go all in on the full pass, it'll be cheaper.
I'm a Smash fan since Melee, but not a fan of their DLC prices...
I prefer to wait until another Ultimate version XD
The only ones I didn't get were Byleth (I don't care about Fire emblem), the ARMS character (I don't care about ARMS) and the Xenoblade ones (I don't care...well, you get the idea).
I got Steve for mere curiosity and Joker because it looked cool but I only played with it like 2 or 3 times.
I don't care about Kingdom Hearts either...but I am curious about Sora.
I'll wait and see.
I had Pirahna Plant, Joker, Byleth, Min Min, Steve, Sephiroth and Pyra/Mythra. Like i said, had. Just found out that my Switch Lite's microsd card with all my smash data on it is fried. edit: Just remembered I have cloud backup! Very happy.
I got them all. I got Piranha Plant for Free, like a lot of people, and the rest, I chose to go for the Fighters Passes. With the big titles that released on the Switch, I made the right choice to upgrade to a higher capacity Micro SDXC Card. I just wish I could remove the write protection from Windows 10, even though the Write Protection is off on the adapter for Micro SD Cards.
I just completed World of Light 100%, so I might start New Game + with Sora.
I have both passes but overall feel it was a waste. I have only truly enjoyed Joker, Banjo, and now Sora
I have both Passes and so Mii fighter outfits I figure if I don’t have everybody and I have friends show up and play those characters I’m gonna disappoint them
Considering I don't own the game I think my answer was obvious! 😁
I own all of them but I wish I had picked and chosen characters instead because I definitely would have left out characters like Pyra and the extra FE fighters. Oh well. I play with my friends and I guess having them all is interesting for them.
Despite not really being in love with Ultimate, I bought both fighter passes cause this is most definitely going to be the last game for a long while that'll have all these characters in one game
Sakurai himself already said not to expect the next smash bros, if it'll happen, to have all these characters. So yeah, I'm willing to bet characters like Sora and Joker are a one time deal until the next "everybody's here"
I only ever play Smash when I've had a few and then it's just against some randos in online free-for-alls, so owning the DLC has never been important to me. I have bought Byleth and Sephiroth individually, though. Barely use 'em, my main characters are all in the base game lol
Not an smash player but for a few months my kids were really into it, just buyed a few characters like banjo and Terry board an that's cuz I grew up playing arcade machines
i'm all in
both with fighters and costumes
This is my first Smash game. When I first got it I mainly button-mashed and used it as a multiplayer game when people cam over. When Banjo came out I bought him and started playing it a bit more, including starting Adventure mode and occasionally playing online.
Recently finished Adventure mode and have less than 100 spirits left to get, and am mainly playing through Classic mode to get fighter spirits. As I'm playing it a lot more and my partner wanted Sora I bought fighters pass 2. I don't really care (or even knew most of) the DLC characters prior to them being in Smash except Banjo, but I've enjoyed playing them. I'm tempted to buy the other DLC fighters just because it'll give me a little more longevity in the game, but the price is steep for the small amount of new spirit matches - it'd be much more tempting if I could get a discount for having already bought Banjo,
I've also bought the Team Rocket and Pig Mii costumes, which were fun. I doubt I'll buy more Mii stuff.
I own all of it, but really only care about 4 or 5 characters.
I got all the fighters due to the fighter passes and I own about half of the Mii costumes. It's a shame that you cannot get your custom Miis via the random selection so I barely see those Mii costumes ingame. Some of those are actually really cool so that's a bummer
Bought every character. You bet I want the complete roster for the biggest fighting game of all time.
I bought the game at launch, so I got Piranha Plant for free. I bought both Fighters Passes, and I bought all 3 Mii Fighter costumes that came with music. I hate this game. I wish I had self control
I got both passes since it bugs me to not have the full roster in a Smash game. Each pass only had one fighter I didn't like (Joker for FP1, Steve for FP2), so I would've paid the same amount for all the individual characters, anyway. Outside of those two characters, I've been pretty happy with the DLC! Dragon Quest XI's Luminary was my most-wanted DLC character, so he obviously became my new main once he was released, and then the spot was taken once again when Mythra released. Banjo and Sephiroth were both highlights as well, and while I didn't really want Sora before, I was pleasantly surprised by how fun he looks and by how much love for the original Kingdom Hearts (by far my favorite in the series) is present in the DLC pack as a whole, so I'm pretty excited for him now.
I've bought a few Mii costumes. Off the top of my head, I got all the Dragon Quest ones, all the Final Fantasy ones, Nakoruru, Cuphead, and I'll get Doomguy when he's available. I don't use them often, but they're fun to have.
I bought banjo and joker. After that I realized Smash isn’t playable online and gave up playing it, as good as it is I have no one to play with in person.
Own everything barring a handful of Mii costumes i have no interest in.
I stopped buying them when Nintendo went with bewbs rather than someone we were actually wanting…
I have the base game and I'm perfectly happy with it. No DLC for me
I've bought Min Min, Steve, and now I'm getting Sora. I only buy characters I like. I love ARMS, and obviously I love Minecraft. I'm getting Sora just because it's a huge deal.
EDIT: oh yeah, and Piranha Plant as an early purchase bonus.
You forgot part of the poll: How many of the Amiibo did you pick up for Smash?
Me: All of them.
Always been a sucker for fighting games. For the most part the appearance of the fighters hasn't been as interesting to me as the new ways of playing the game that each character has brought. Worth every penny.
I forced myself to keep waiting until I finally had enough money to purchase Fighters Pass Vol. 2. The first one was a gift from a good friend and I got SSBU early enough to get Piranha Plant. The two Mii costumes I bought were Sans and Cuphead, primarily because they both included more music
Only got Piranha Plant since it was free but have been quietly tempted by Sephiroth, Min Min & Kazuya...the DLC is quite pricey, buying the 2 passes would equate to the full game price!
The shoddy online partly killed my interest in this game though, which is a shame, first party games like this NEED dedicated servers, not P2P...
None. Im not sure why but I grew tired of the game after about a week and never went back.
i bought both passes even though. I'm just happy I got byleth in along with pyra and mythra
@chapu2006 There was some redundancy, you said you were a casual player twice.
I bought both passes, but I wish I didn't in hindsight. I got caught in the hype on the first pass by Banjo, then by Steve on the second one. I don't like any of the other DLC fighters. I guess it's a lesson for next time!
I picked and chose both times, and I'm glad I did. Hero, Banjo & Kazooie, Terry, Byleth, Min Min, Pyra/Mythra, Kazuya, and eventually I'll probably grab Sora.
For Mii Costumes, I got Knuckles, Sans, and Shantae.
Im a filthy pirate, so i have everything. Having said that, let me say this: banjo, sephiroth and sora are the only newcomers that i really like (imagine paying for that lego dude)
Only Sephirot and i am tempted to buy the Hero.
Somehow i had much more Fun with Smash Wii U than with Ultimate.
I have both fighters passes, as well as all of the special mii costumes like cuphead as well as a few normal ones like geno (though he's still special) though I will probably get all of them later.
JUst bought steve, since the kids love mincraft, and that he really did something different... the rest are mainly just boring jap rpg characters who don't really add something for me.. (maybe i'll buy bk though, when the n64 games start rolling)
I bought both fighter packs, but my favourite DLC fighter is still Piranha Plant. They're so unique and interesting.
After that it'd be MinMin and Steve, despite having no real interest in Minecraft. Both again felt like unique and interesting fighters.
Banjo was just cool to see and was fun to play but I hated their stage. Terry didn't feel like anything unique but was fun to play as, simple but effective I guess.
The rest ranged from ok to meh. I'm glad dragon Quest has a rep and Sephiroth is iconic so it's nice to see them if nothing else. Pyra and Mythra and Byleth were just added to promote games and they play fine but for me are not exciting or iconic. Joker was and remains a weird choice. I didn't much care for them and it felt like trying to jump on the hype for a game the system wasn't even getting.
I've yet to play Kazuya or Sora, I'm not mad at either of their inclusions. Hearing Sora was something Iwata wanted to get in because it got the most votes and then that becoming a reality is heart warming. I'm excited to give them a go once Dread is done.
Costumes, I've only bought Cuphead but I'm tempted to pick up Bomberman and Doomguy as they would have been characters I'd have picked for the roster.
I just have the first fighter pass. None of the characters from the second batch were really must-haves for me.
I’ve made it a point to buy ALL the DLC for this game. Despite not being all that much into Smash. I am my own worst enemy and Nintendo’s best friend.
@Realness
I thought I was the only one who did that! I thought I just wanted a few of them, but ended up getting all the fighters separately.
Only brought Sephiroth i didn't feel the fighter pass was worth it only like some of heroes from it.
I might have gotten a few of the indevidual fighters if they were't 6 dollars a pop.
If you think about it $30 for a pass is half the price of the game itsf for lessf than atenth of the total content (and that's not evetn factoring in the fighting game itsef)
I would've still bought both fighters passes if I didn't care about a single character from either. I simply want every character, wallet be damned. Mii costumes are a different story, I only got Sans and Cuphead.
Bought all Fighters. (Good deal!)
But no Mii costumes. (Bad deal!)
I love the Fighters Passes. I would buy a third and fourth one because that's DLC done right.
But I never pay for cosmetics like Mii costumes. Not for that price anyway.
I like Miis (even as a fighter) and I sometimes play as Saki Amamiya and Chibi-Robo, because I really want them as fighters. They're great as long as they're free.
I wish I had the Goemon and DOOM Slayer costumes, but ehh.... I can skip those unless they put all Mii costumes in a set and sell it for a really low price.
@Zag_Man I loved the mission modes of the previous games. I'd like to see that make a return some day.
So far, I have Joker, Terry, Sephiroth, Piranha plant and Pyra/Mythra. Planning to add Sora soon obviously, as well as Eleven and Min min while I'm at it
@StarPoint Yeah, Sans! I'd have probably done more if they came with music.
For Mii costumes, $.75 is a killer deal for purely cosmetic stuff. Every other game ever charges more for new outfits.
I just don't really care about Mii Fighters. I bought Sans, though. He came with killer music!
I bought FP1 and enjoy all of them (except Banjo), even though I could only really count Joker as one of my mains. They are all fun.
FP2 characters aren't all as fun for me. I never bought Min Min or Kazuya. Steve was an impulse buy that I kind of regret, but I know other people have fun with him, so it's okay.
