<b>#6: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Released on 12/7/2018
Switch</b>
(written in 2019)

Behold, the reason I got a Switch. Its great, it feels initially flawless, and Ill be putting many more hours into it. This probably would have been #1 on the list if I had more time, but I can't just assume this to be the presumptive winner of the past two years when I still havent:

*Beaten the new single player campaign.
*Played more than half of the characters in Classic Mode.
*Fought online once.

So even though Ive had nearly every Smash game at launch and consider this the most consistently high-quality series I deal with, it was either putting this game ahead of the next three games or behind the next three. SSBU has plenty of time for my Best Game of the Decade list next year, so I'm playing it cool with SSBU's placement here.

So for now, based off what I played, here are cool things worth bragging on.

It feels like Smash! That's enough for GotY-consideration most years.

As soon as I turned it on my first time, my random spirit given to me was Metal Man and immediately I wondered how my brand new system knew me so well.

Good lord, there's a lot of content here. I've put in twenty-four hours and I'm still working on the World of Light. Between this and their Classic Mode revamping, Ultimate becomes the best single-player Smash experience by no small margin.

That running mini-game in Classic Mode is okay I guess, but everybody plays it about the same way if capable to. Bring back Board the Platforms!

Sheik still feels great to play as, though I'm struggling with her Bouncing Fish more here. My other past mains are doing okay too -- Ness will mess you up with PK Fire more than seemingly ever before now, and Snake's comeback was worth celebrating too. Ridley is my favorite newcomer so far, though I still have more to play as too -- I only just recently unlocked everybody. I got the Fighter Pass while we're at it so maaaaaybe I'll have played as everybody before that releases!

Even when items are turned on Low, I still feel like they come kinda often. WASSUPWITDAT

I like that you can save rule sets now. Excellent addition. The stages morphing is still weird to adjust to, but I like it.

I'll put more time into this game than any other I'll list here, almost certainly, but I'm not ready to let my hype fill in this many blanks for the #1 spot here. It's got to wait its turn and see if it really does live up to that for me, and right now I just haven't had enough time with it to say.
