Super Smash Bros: Ultimate Geno Edition

[Hitou]

I'm not really a fan of what they did with WoL either, but I 100% it anyway. As much as people like to hate on Brawl, subspace emissary was way better, and even adventure mode in melee for what little it was. Heck I think smash run on 3DS was more fun. WoL is fine and even interesting for how they matched up fighters to make them similar to their spirits, but the novelty wears off pretty fast, especially by the time you've fought like 500 of them. At least you don't have the stupid shooting mechanic after you win like on the spirit board to actually obtain the spirit.

While this is undoubtedly the best smash for multiplayer, I feel like the single player took a hit just to include so many fighters. Outside of classic mode which is better than Smash 4's, we lost home run, target smash, a real all-star mode, and trophy rush because there's no trophies anymore. I donno the loss of these things doesn't make me like the game any less but I still miss them all the same.

Why do I suddenly have the feeling that Leon Kennedy is one of the DLC fighters?

Capcom being awfully generous with the RE on switch.

So Link is pretty fun. Anyone here got any tips for him?

[Mythe_Seraph]

Young link is better and uh get good at bombs, boomerang and bow. Otherwise don’t use link.

[Tyrath]

Alternatively, play whoever you enjoy.

Of the 3 Links, vanilla has the best recovery with his remote bombs, Nair stuffs a lot of people and the hitbox extends backwards too. Other than that, imo just practice setups with bombs and edge guarding with them, boomerang zone control, and arrows.

Young link is better in terms of having no landing lag, and i believe is overall stronger, but vanilla link i think outranges the 3.

With that said, i need to get back into the game, i was playing locals a couple nights ago, and my D3 game fell hard, but trying to up Ike/Ness/Lucas at the same time.

My man.

No items. Wolf only. Final Destination.

[Tokitoki]

My friends and I always preferred to play with items. We'd turn some of them off, but it was more fun for us that way.

Got really good at sniping with a thrown item.

[Obsidian]

No items. Wolf only. Final Destination.

Real men play Little Mac mirrors on FD.

[Corrderio]

I don't mind items except assists. Fuck those things

[Kirin]

All items. Pichu only. Big Battlefield.

[Tyrath]

King K Rool only. Down B and neutral B only.

[Tokitoki]

Metal Dedede, high grav, no items.

[Sumy]

...boomerang zone control, and arrows.

Ugh, in the SmashWiiU days, these were the Links I just avoided... it was so annoying being picked off byl Arrow > Boomerang > Bomb > Repeat, from clear across the stage that'd I just run off the edge and kill myself. Eventually just popped up a custom name "No Links"

I think Ultimate took care of this? ...or maybe the Links that played this way finally got bored? but it has not been an issue this time around.

[Kirin]

Because Link's bombs now require some finesse to properly use, that tactics of just tossing them out has kind of been forced to evolve.

Oddly enough, both Toon Link and Young Link have moved on from that as well. Tink's aerials are a lot better and he is not as reliant on bomb play to set things up anymore. Young Link moves a bit too fast for bomb setups sometimes, so he gets more use out of arrow setups with bombs kind of in there as a mixup.

Snake only is the true meta

Was way better in Brawl though when he had the down smash mine. So many explosives and no one is safe. Glorious.

Snake has changed a lot - his movement speed is so fast now, but each individual move seems to have a lot more lag then they used to. I finally got around to knocking out his classic mode, and he felt so different it was a little off-putting.

Although, I'm a Pac-Man main, so everyone is a little off-putting at first.

[Elcura]

My friend mains Snake (well, learning) and he's a fucking menace. The lag is significant on a lot of his moves but dash attack and ftilt can come out super fast and let's not mention uptilt which is a destroyer of lives. They also made his special moves ridiculous.

As someone learning Pichu, he's my worst enemy.
