Super Smash Bros Ultimate Is Nintendo’s Take on Marvel 2 I The Koalition

Jakejames Lugo of The Koalition writes: The official reveal of Super Smash Bros Ultimate came from the annual Nintendo Direct during E3 2018, and it was immediately clear just how big this game will be for Smash Bros fans. Everybody who has appeared in a game is going to be playable on Nintendo Switch, including the guest characters you’d thought would never show up again. There are 66 playable characters in total, including a few newcomers. But Smash Bros Ultimate is more than just a hodgepodge of characters from every single game in the series, there’s a lot of changes and updates under the hood that aren’t immediately noticeable, but will definitely be appreciated by all fans.

For the roster itself, every character past and present gets a number of changes to their move sets and specific properties that will change the flow of competitive play. Those that just play for fun will still notice how things will be different for their favorite characters, but the tournament players will have a lot to chew on. Outside of all the fighters returning from every game, the new characters add layers to an already big game.
