That is a lot. It's also a change of 10% from the previous version of this poll (2013). Let's be real, we don't have time to get a bunch of friends in our house to play smash anymore. Or if we do, most of our friends don't, even they are even living in the same city as we are. I have Brawl in my home and I've touched it maybe twice because, when I finally got Brawl, all the people I could play Smash with like in the old Melee times were living in other places. Online Ultimate is also kind of bad from what I hear, because Nintendo doesn't know how to make online multiplayer. Now, Smash single player is fun, but you know what is also fun? MARIO single player. I have a feeling Ultimate is this game everyone got excited about, maybe played a little of its single player, but then went back to MARIO, or ZELDA. That may be true for local multiplayer, but it doesn't explain why online multiplayer has become less popular on this site. Online multiplayer has gotten weaker for different reasons, the biggest of which is centered around the average age of the site's users being over 30 and many people now have full time jobs that make scheduling online multiplayer sessions even harder now. Finding one specific date and time for an online multiplayer session that works for the greatest number of people is very difficult because any specific date and time you can come up with will have at least some people who can't play at that time for various reasons (currently working, visiting family or friends, etc). Given the logistical difficulties that now factor into scheduling online multiplayer sessions, it's no wonder a lot of the site has scaled back or even completely eliminated online multiplayer from the time they spend playing video games. I suppose the ongoing coronavirus situation makes it easier than usual to schedule online multiplayer sessions with other people, but that's only a temporary thing and would return to normal in the future. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ \| ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as Advokaiser, Guru Champ! <cite>LusterSoldier posted [p:938668233] in Game of th...
