GAME: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

World of Light is just nothing but combat though. They could have made it more interesting by adding things like platforming segments or something. Also, despite the offering of three different difficulty modes for the grand adventure, Easy is not an accurate moniker at all; too many of the four star battles are just too difficult for this mode and they're far too demanding of the player. They require you to have some insane reflexes to dodge and counter, as well as the right spirits (though even equipping a maxed out one does nothing to change the odds). Since recruiting every character and fully completing every area is required for 100% completion, it can get tedious and dull relatively early.

Unlocking fighters during standard Smash is also quite the challenge. Many of them are set to Level 9 CPU difficulty, and unlike Smash 64 or Brawl, they really play for keeps. I can tell you Ridley and King Dedede are not pleasant unlocking matches, and you will lose many times before you manage to find a character and method that works. People will likely tell you the annoying adage of "get good" when you ask for some help, but this is one case where it applies; you can't half-ass these fights.

Overall, Smash Ultimate is great with plenty to do and things to unlock, and it's definitely worth playing. I only wish the difficulty could be balanced out as the AI seems to be outright superhuman at times.

Alright alright alright, I have to ask this, my apologizes if it'll be a weird question:

What's the big deal with Waluigi anyway?

From I've heard they say he's wanted because of "memes." Uh, I fail to see the point.

Not playing the game but have been watching various Twitch streams and my goodness the online multiplayer is almost hilariously incompetent. You simply cannot queue a quickmatch for a 1v1 battle so you may end up in a 4 player free-for-all instead of a 1v1 match and If your preferences are set to no items there's a chance you'll be playing a match with items. And with how much money Nintendo is going to make you'd think they could have some dedicated servers instead of relying on a peer-to-peer connection that can be so much more laggy than the alternative. Guess Nintendo just wanted to pocket that $20 yearly online service fee and not even bother to improve online functionality in their games.

That's really just a cultural thing. Japan doesn't treat Smash as a competitive fighting game. Even ARMs has a bigger competitive scene in Japan than Smash does. Sakurai throws western competitive players a few bones, like Omega versions of stages, but I'm not sure they'd really deviate from how Smash is supposed to be played with a "1v1, no items, Fox only, Final Destination" mode just so a few Americans can use it.

Is it just me, or does World of Light have a pretty big plothole in it? Kirby was never captured, which means there shouldn't be any evil clone Kirbys - and yet they are all over the place!
