If you're not looking to get into the tournament scene for a fighting game, you probably shouldn't worry about what the pro players say. Imo this applies doubly to Smash, where you have to disable like 1/3 of the mechanics for tournament play

This goes for a lot of multiplayer stuff. If you're not interested in playing competitively, there's no need to concern yourself with all the hubbub up there. Just play how you want.

Of course you can have fun without being optimal, just pointing out that the AI has things that make it undesirable as the "single player"component. If they had smash run in there, I'd probably have bought the game, but the game seems to mostly consist of classic style 1v1s, even world of light isn't that compelling outside of the trailer, consisting of themed 1v1s. As it is, it's just a lot of continuous effort where you have to get good to see the next level, which isn't something I want to do all the time.

I miss the old adventure side scrolling mode, something about side scrolling with a real fighting game is really fun, think tekken force. The weaker mobs make the parts with rival fights more impactful.

I think it's just fighting games are fun when you know the opponent isn't reading your inputs. Not to mention most "pros" recommend not playing against the Smash ai above level 4 because the ai will teach you bad habits.

I'm also not getting smash for awhile.

this is extra funny because at 4 or below the cpu just stands there like a punching bag

Have the kirby lore masters talked about how close the final smash boss looks to the void thing?



Noticed the dark wing\shadows are the same shape as the bloody eye.

Yeah that's the point. You're supposed to just work on launchers and stuff. Any more than that and the ai starts doing un player like things.

Smash is more of a party game that unfortunately just attracted an overlap of the most rabid nintendo fans and the most disgusting fighting game players. Distill those two down to a thick smelly sludge and you have the smash community.

this is both severely overestimating the difficulty of the AI in Adventure Mode and severely underestimating the variety on display from the spirit battles.

Smash is definitely not a fighting game. I don’t particularly like Smash but it’s fans have to contort it into some insane knots to get it to sort of look like one.

I mean, if you find two people who flail around on the controller/fight stick they can still have fun and may even accidentally discover stuff like footsies on their own. The big problem with these games has always been reliably getting those two people together in the same room or lobby.
