Current Events > So I played the Smash Ultimate demo this morning

(+) Yeah! (+)

Nintendo NY is doing a week-long demo for Smash, Mario Tennis Aces and Fortnite (for some reason) so I decided to try out Smash after seeing the Direct yesterday.

It started at 9 am (and lines started at 7 am), I got in line at 7:30 am and there were already quite a few people there. About a 2.5 hour wait time in the line.

Here's the roster for the demo:


And here's the stage set for the demo:


A good set of characters, and not too many to give us everything at once.

We're only allowed to play one game per day. One game of Smash is 2 matches with each match timed 2:30. And we had to choose either if we wanted to play someone 1v1, or if we wanted a 4 player match. I chose 4 player. I was originally told my match would be on the big screen, but last minute and a group on the smaller screens finished up and they asked if we wanted to go there. We said it didn't matter lol.

I tried Mewtwo out on my first match, didn't like it too much. Mewtwo seemed to floaty and didn't seem like it did enough damage. I got 3rd on my match using Mewtwo, so I switched to play as an Inkling Girl. I liked Inkling much better, they're a newcomer and the splatting mechanic is pretty cool. It was hard to know when I was able to hide in my paint to refill as it was shown in the demo. I did pretty great as Inkling, got into a sudden death with someone else but I choked and got 2nd.

They gave us this nice little pin for trying out the demo:


tl;dr I enjoyed the demo and I think I'll enjoy the full game, and I believe the skeptics should wait until they play the game before hating on it

Interesting. It appears that Ridley isn't playable. Otherwise it seems to be the exact same roster they have at E3.
