Having so few characters unlocked at the beginning is annoying. It means everyone gets really excited when we unlock someone because there's finally a new character to play with (which results in everyone piling on Ice Climbers for quad-Ice Climbers action) but I wish there were still a lot more to start with. Specifically Wario. Why can't I just play as fuckin Wario?

This game feels fantastic, I'm glad because 4 felt weirdly floaty and delayed.
Out of the characters we unlocked, I really liked K Rool, Inkling, and Isabelle.
K Rool seems really good, he even has that grounding down throw thing that seems like an auto kill at higher percents.
Inkling is the best idea ever, love playing her. Wish you could refill ink at anytime though.
Isabelle seems like she would be really annoying to play against, with her trap, fishing pole, and ranged aerials.
Really fun, looking forward to unlocking everyone.

Jiggly is annoying as shit and I love her.

They really nailed the classic feel of the Belmonts. A little slow, not great in the air, but they have so much power and range.

Big winner has to be Inkling though. Such a blast to play.

I've been focusing so far on farming the Spirit Board as much as possible, which hasn't left a lot of time to check out the new characters (the only one I've gotten around to was Incineroar, who was reasonably fun and amusing but nothing world-stopping). That being said, blowing through Spirit Board challenges with Roy and Little Mac has been insanely satisfying, and I've laugh many a true laugh at some of the creative and hilarious ways Nintendo has come up with to represent the Spirits with the existing playables and other mechanics.

If I'm salty about anything, it's that my game's RNG left the Palutena unlock for dead last.

Speaking of, Japan did as Japan does. (Mildly NSFW)

PX · « **Reply #35 on:** December 11, 2018, 08:52:46 AM »

The order you unlock characters by spamming matches is not random. Palutena is last lol

Does anyone know where I can find the Camilla spirit? She may be censored but I'm still waiting warmly for her and she hasn't turned up yet for me.

Spammed the spirit board and got most of my mains to pop up to unlock this is great... although l'm pretty much having fun with both the board and adventure mode. I love how they recreate some of the spirit characters main game stuff in a smash setting although some can be annoying.

Leon゠Helsing · « **Reply #41 on:** December 13, 2018, 04:45:56 AM »

Crap, wrong thread.

Welp, might as well ask something on-topic. How are the Belmonts' recovery?

Edible · « **Reply #42 on:** December 13, 2018, 04:54:15 AM »

Extremely bad. Thankfully they're pretty heavy, but.

So what would you recommend to avoid getting dicked on a la Little Mac? I don't have a Switch yet, but I do plan on buying it along with Smash Ultimate relatively soon-ish.

Drake · « **Reply #44 on:** December 13, 2018, 09:21:20 AM »

Note you can tether the ledge with forward and back air, so they don't have just upB. You'll probably want to use that much of the time.

Eventually unlocked Wario, I like him a lot. How does his fart attack work? Sometimes it's really strong and sometimes it does literally nothing. It doesn't seem like it can be charged, is the effect random?

Wario's fart charges with a combination of time and items eaten.

It charged too fast in brawl and nerfed to oblivion in 4 so I don't know how fast it is in U

I ran through that fight and almost every other one with an ore club equipped, which trivialized the entire world of light mode.

Yeah, I stopped using it pretty early because I was getting bored just spamming the same move. Didn't occur to me to try it against that dumb sheriff though, it probably would have helped a ton.

Well; I'm nearing the point where I've unlocked all characters, just a few to go.

I'm awful at Smash and haven't even really found a main yet. Some characters I've hardly even played yet.

About the closest I've got to a 'main' is Mega Man of all characters right now.

What are you guys playing?

PX · « **Reply #56 on:** January 05, 2019, 11:47:30 PM »

Pichu, Peach/Daisy, might stick with Bowser and maybe pick up another char like Palutena, Zelda, Ike, or Lucina

commandercool · « **Reply #57 on:** January 06, 2019, 06:40:40 PM »

My main is Wario, and I like Inkling, Bayonetta, Corrin, and Rob quite a lot too. Inkling clearly feels like the best of them, Bayonetta does not feel good at all, but Wario is the most fun.

I like Wario too.

I've played a bit of Corrin and kinda like him/her but that opinion could change.

Bayonetta got nerfed from Smash4; I know that for sure. But she was the Queen of the game [Even #2, Cloud, generally being ranked quite a bit under her] That's probobly why she feels bad, they decided now she's not Pay2Win [Also Cloud] to nerf her hard to bring her back in line and potentially buff her after.

And yes; with the state of Bayo/Cloud in Ultimate v Smash4 I'm pretty confident in saying their balance state and the fact they were left in that state was intentional P2W. [Smash 4 was pretty notorious for basically boiling down to Cloud v Bayo]

I really don't like Lucario, Mario, Ness and Lucas. Mario has 2 very situational specials, and the rest of his kit is... well... not outstanding. Lucario feels clunky and I hate Ness/Lucas' recovery.

Well, Cloud and Bayo were both nerfed. Cloud's nerfs were minuscule outside of removing aerial FT's solo kill power, so that's one thing, but they nerfed Bayo pretty solidly and her results fell for a while until picking back up later only after patches stopped coming. S4 patches stopped because dev for Ultimate started, so basically they abandoned ship too soon after releasing Bayo and didn't stick around long enough to see how the character would settle. I really think if patches kept coming they likely would have been nerfed more but they shifted focus entirely to Ultimate, unfortunately resulting in a pretty stale and sour meta by the end of S4.
