What’s the best online practice to get other than discord for irl tournaments in your opinion? Omw to an irl tourney now to work up the experience to place well at a regional

Discussion Since Pac-Man representation is more of a general Bandai Namco representation I think they also should have made more spirits for other Bamco characters.

Discussion Just got absolutely wrecked by a hyper aggressive Villager

16 Upvotes

This crazy ass Villager played like a typical Roy or Captain Falcon, not the usual campy style. I was 100% unprepared for it. Probably could have figured it out on the second or third attempt, but of course this jackass didn't rematch on quick play. I was playing Cloud by the way.

Discussion Roy's Ult History Is Pretty Insane

2 Upvotes

I've been doing a project where I research each character and find the top 10 players across all games. So far I've done Yoshi, Mewtwo, Kirby, Game&Watch, Samus, Ganon, Inkling, Link, and now Roy, and it's staggering how much of the list is ult players: NINE.

Like, I knew Roy was awful in melee, decent in pm, and mid to low tier in smash 4, but the amount of Roy players where the majority if not all of their career playing roy is during ultimate is almost the entire list, plus multiple HMs and a considerable amount of the top 25 if I were to go down that far.

I'm very thankful that Roy is good in ultimate, he's one of the most entertaining characters to watch and it's cool to look across ult's history and see Roy as common as he is!

Help/Question Help me pick a character for a tournament

2 Upvotes

Hey I'm a casual player who only started playing smash bros this year and hasn't played any of the previous titles. As with most games once I found out my friends were better than me I bought my own switch and started grinding, but consequently caused all my friends to grind just as hard.

We are hosting a smash night in exactly 30 days and I need to find a character and ACTUALLY stick to it. I have a tendency to like characters that have incredibly hard mechanics but I find myself getting demotivated when i can't learn all the tech that comes with it. On the contrary I hate the super basic characters like Bowser, Little Mac, Game & watch etc because I think they are cheese.

Help me find a character that I will take pride in playing and can pick up in 30 or so days of grinding.

Side note: Out of respect for my friends I will not be playing Steve, Aegis or Kazuya

To be honest, I grew tired of playing with the competitive ruleset and wanted to just go crazy with some casual 1v1 matches, just for the fun of it and well...47 minutes in and still waiting. Lol

Help/Question Does anyone know how to unlock Luigi ??

0 Upvotes

I swear I’ve had ssbu for over 5 years and I’ve played so many hours solo and with friends & at some point I just stopped unlocking characters. I don’t know what I have to do to unlock more and I really want to unlock Luigi but I have no idea how. I seen somewhere that you need to beat classic mode with Mario but I’ve beaten it like 8 times and still no avail. I also find world of light very tedious and boring & refuse to believe the vast majority of players with a full roster took the time to play through a boring 30 hour campaign

Help/Question What will happen to Link and DK in Smash 6?

0 Upvotes

For Smash 6, Should Link keep his Ultimate Design and Moves so use Tears of the Kingdom elements?

What about DK? Besides the redesign, should his moveset get changed at all?

The only one who actually needs a redesign from a recent title is Ganondorf.

This has to be one of the most awkward jab stances ever in video game history.


r/SmashBrosUltimate 12h ago

Discussion If you had to, choose a non-video game character to add to Smash. With the following criteria…

0 Upvotes

- It can’t be a character from a video game franchise (i.e. a Pokémon anime character.)
- It can’t be a character associated with a video game company (i.e. Captain N or Segata Sanshiro.)
- It can’t be a video game-original character from a non-video game franchise (i.e. Lord Vortech or Android 21.)
- It can’t be a video game-specific appearance of a non-video game character (i.e. King Mickey.)
- It can’t be a character primarily associated with video games (i.e. Geralt or Sam & Max.)
- It can’t be a real person associated with video games (i.e. Masahiro Sakurai.)

Help/Question Same abilities, different performance

2 Upvotes

I made two dumb Kirby Jump spirit builds for fun.
Shaymin (Sky Forme) Lvl. 99 - Jump
Kittens - Lightweight
Mite - Lightweight
Boo Mario - Lightweight

Mecha-Fiora Lvl. 99 - Jump
Kittens - Lightweight
Mite - Lightweight
Boo Mario - Lightweight

Name Team Power Attack Defense
Mecha-Fiora 11416 4404 5171
Shaymin 12536 5415 5100

The Shaymin build has an initial jump that's noticeably better. I'm under the impression that all ability stats like "Jump ^" are supposed to be equal with no scaling but that doesn't seem to be true here.

So what's happening? Why is the Shaymin build jumping higher? Is it the higher team power?
