Why do I want Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
For people who weren't around in 2001: Super Smash Bros. Melee was the best-selling game for the Nintendo GameCube at the time. Like many other gamers, it meant I had to spend all my time after school and during the weekend practicing like a madman so I'd be able to take on my friends and my nephews in Smash. Smash is also one of the games that created a lively competitive scene from a pretty early stage, which still lives to this day. So welcome back, Super Smash Bros!
New characters
Besides the fact that all our favorite characters from the previous Smash games are included, Nintendo also pulled a number of new characters from their hat. These newcomers include Richter & Simon Belmont from the Castlevania series, as well as King K. Rool from Donkey Kong.
Everyone is here!
Is your favorite Smash character in the game? Don't worry. Nintendo announced that every character from the previous Smash games will be included. There are also some new additions, like the Inklings from Splatoon and Ridley from the Metroid universe.
Playing style
The core of Smash remains the same: enter the arena and smash your opponents out of bounds. The more damage you receive, the further you fly, until your hit all the way out of the arena. What did change are the movesets, which have been updated and will be faster than in the previous games. Of course, this raises the skill ceiling quite a bit, so I'm curious to see how many professional player will pick up this game.
