You'll have fun unlocking all the characters and most of the Path of Light mode, though the latter has a LOT of content (which is the cause of the aforementioned burnout) - I think I'm going to get back into it, pick one character and go through the hard modes and learn that character inside out!

Yeah, Path of Light started as great fun, then became a bit of a slog. Eventually just became a chore. Three times as long as it needs to be.

I think the problem is that it doesn't encourage new fighters, just change your spirits on your existing fighter to suit the challenge. I ended up just using Bowser and spamming mostly.

Arrived today so just having first few matches now. Pretty much clueless and was bashing A and B but realised I better off sticking with A for attacks mostly. Had a few challengers but only won 2 of maybe 5 and missed out on Bowser.

Just doing random matches with CPU opponents, is that a good place to start or is there something else I should be doing. Presume you get challengers in all modes?

Quickest way to unlock characters is through Classic mode. A few hours and you'll have them all unlocked. Good way to practice with different characters too.

Cool, I'll have a look at that tomorrow evening so. Got a couple more unlocked through World of Light there just cheesing it with Kirby.

Enjoyable so far, can't remember the last time I spend a couple of hours playing a fighting game solo.

This is wortha read. talks about moving "jump" to a trigger button (and optionally turning off left joystick jump) and using the right joystick for tilt attacks. Helped me a lot.
These two control changes will make you much better at Smash Bros. Ultimate

A lot more in-depth here:

Excellent, thanks for that. I did find the default placement of the jump buttons very hard to get to grips with and kept pressing A and B accidentally as that where jump would normally be for me in a game.

Might try remap per that article and see how I go before I get used to default layout. Had read up on tilt attacks and that yesterday but doesn't make much sense until you perform a few.

Doesn't look like there's a lot of variety to the combat at first glance but its amazing what they can do with only a few buttons when you compare it to the likes of the Streetfighter where special moves can be very hard to pull off and things seem a lot more complex.

MORE EVIDENCE POINTS TO TERRY BOGARD’S RELEASE IN SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE ON NOVEMBER 1

https://nintendosoup.com/more-evidence-points-to-terry-bogards-release-in-super-smash-bros-ultimate-on-november-1/

They speculate that the video could be Terry's launch trailer. I don't think that it is though, that private video was added about a week ago. I remember talking about it on Discord at the time. I think it's the trailer for the next fighter. Hopefully it's someone interesting because apart from Banjo & Kazooie, the DLC has been very underwhelming(Piranha Plant, Joker, Hero and Terry).

Corholio · 05-11-2019 2:11am

Terry Bogard will be fully revealed in a 45 minute livestream on Wednesday 6th Nov at 1pm Irish time.

Nintendo have confirmed that there will be no new fighter will be revealed during the presentation. But it’s 45 minutes long, surely it can't be just on Terry, that would be a complete snorefest. There's bound to be new Mii costumes shown. There was a supposed leak of Mallow from Super Mario RPG and the Cacodemon from DOOM yesterday, though the source is 4chan, so you know what that can mean.

Still that's not enough content to fill up 45 minutes. Maybe they'll show off new stages or a new mode, though I thought the Home Run Contest was supposed to be the last.

Looking at the length of previous Fighter Pack DLC presentations:

Joker - 15:28(though that wasn't presented by Sakurai)
Hero - 21:34
Banjo & Kazooie - 25:14

This is far longer than those, so there has to be more than just a focus on Terry.

I've been trying to think what could they show here today that makes this presentation at least 20 minutes longer than for the previous DLC fighters. They might make use of the accessories from Ring Fit Adventure.

sligeach · 06-11-2019 2:43pm

I didn't think they would make this 45 minute presentation just about Terry. How wrong I was. Well 2 minutes of Mii Fighter costumes now of mostly obscure characters. A snoozefest. Zzz &#55357;&#56884;

sligeach · 06-11-2019 3:05pm

Literally Sakurai's last words of the just shy of 50 minute presentation on Terry "Boring" Bogard.

I hope so too. I was waiting for a surprise that was never there.

Sakurai's love for the SNK era and Fatal Fury is great. It was billed as a character announcement and detailed run through and that's what we got. Nintendo also announced in advance that there would be no mention of any future DLC characters. I personally love the Neo-Geo/SNK era and found it good watching.

sligeach · 06-11-2019 8:15pm

I found it interesting to watch Sakurai's body language as soon as it came to talking about the omission of Mai Shiranui and immediately after.

(Folded arms) "By the way, you may have noticed that a very important character from the FATAL FURY series was not included. Yes, Mai Shiranui."

(Clasped hands) "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is for good boys and girls of many different ages, so we decided not to feature her. Please forgive us." (Then relaxes)

He immediately folds his arms in a defensive position, then clasps his hands nervously as he explains in a roundabout way why she doesn't feature. Once that bit is over, he kind of steeples his fingers as he regains his confidence.

Guessing we’ll find out DLC5 if there’s a Direct in early Jan?

sligeach · 07-11-2019 9:52am

Or maybe at The Game Awards, 13th December is when they're on.

CastorTroy · 08-11-2019 7:59pm

Seems Mai's omission wasn't completely Nintendo's decision. I was reading if they had put Mai in, their age rating would've been increased in Japan.

Seems most people on twitter are expecting Dante from Devil May Cry to be the final character of this expansion pass. No leak, it's speculated on a nearly 2 week old tweet from the official DMC account.

The announcement for today was already revealed, let me find the Tweet.

I hope it's still not Dante. And as an aside, Capcom continue giving the middle finger to Switch owners.

Any last second predictions? Mine, disappointment, given all the other DLC. I think it could be a gen 8 Pokemon or a character from Fire Emblem Three Houses.
