What's the point of unlocking any character in Ultimate if it's all just erased? All of those pointless Classic Mode runs and 1-stock matches to pad the game out, even more pointless

At what point does it get erased?

sucks that unlocking characters in spirit world doesn't unlock it for normal play. you have to keep play long matches and you actually have to play them. you can't just afk for 10 minutes at a time to get a new character. -_-

unlocking characters fucking sucks but some people really like having content for the sake of content

there are better ways to add content, like introducing a classic mode that's purely random and doesn't start at piss-easy difficulties, reintroducing the original all-star mode, adding back coin battle, making wol not just a contextualized spirit board, make spirits more varied in utility, etc

it's kind of weird that smash of all games somehow manages to be lacking in content in areas even when it has so much of it

Brawl had and probably still has the best single player content, depending on how much you like SSE

Brawl's last event match was lame.
I'd never seen Giga Bowser before unlocking Event 51 in Melee. Jumpscare.
Then in Brawl it's just two guest characters and big Mario.

Are you complaining that unlocking a character in one game doesn't keep a character unlocked in a hypothetical game that doesn't even exist yet?

It does, actually.

Yep. Maybe not to the extreme that Smash Ultimate did, but having them all available at the start is no fun.

At the very least, have a downloadable option that allows players to unlock everything when triggered. That would especially help with tournament setups.

They really need to stop making Jigglypuff an unlockable character. We know the puff will never be cut but no more wasting a new fighter on Jigglypuff.

i always thought it was weird too that you only start out with the smash 64 cast, but it's very easy to unlock them all.

On the other hand, it is a nice bookend since Smash Ultimate released very close to the series' 20th anniversary.

Its neat the first time you play, but there should be a cheat code to unlock everyone.

I love unlocking characters but I have no idea why fighting games haven't just figured out they can put a toggle in a menu to instantly unlock them all for people who don't.

Like it's such an easy solution to please everyone but I don't think I've ever even seen it.

puyo actually always has this but a vast majority of games want you to go through the agony of unlocking everything

it's not like they made classic mode actually fun to play. while i appreciate having themed routes, the lack of variety and having to start on a pitiful difficulty really makes the mode super boring

Nintendo things absolutely never coincide or associate in any apparent logics or concerns going on in the HD platform world.
