It's my favorite of the series.
The roster is unreal. The craziest and most awesome thing I've ever seen. Any cuts in a future Smash, yes even the dozen Fire Emblem characters, would be an absolute tragedy. The majority of the cast have unique systems, play styles, and tricks while at their core controlling similarly which makes picking up a new character natural and comfortable.
Balance is really solid, still a little fuzzy on some things like the hitboxes and frame data on a few characters but anything is better than Brawl's hit boxes / hemispheres. I watch these regional and national tournaments and it blows my mind the character variety that all play solid and viable.
Single player is trash sadly. Tour is garbage, Run is boring (would be better if added to Switch and gets online), Classic (Wii U) is anarchy with almost mandatory 6+ character fights but the Master Core fight is fun, and Special Orders wears out its welcome damn quick. Really hope for an Switch upgrade.
Music selection was also underwhelming. So many Brawl tracks added back in and a lot of great new songs are strangely absent like Skyward Sword's Moldarach fight or Kirby themes like Magolor fight or Moonstruck Blossom. Thankfully mods fix this. Also, no boss themes at all from Mega Man?? Shenanigans!
Really tired of all the gimmicks on stages. Just because For Glory was added doesn't mean you have a free ticket to make the stages as obnoxious as possible. Wily Castle still breaks my heart because it would be an ideal tournament stage if it wasn't for the Yellow Devil mucking things up. The oversize stages are terrible concept and even on my 50 inch TV it is so hard to keep track of players when they zoom out.
Online lag is frustrating but it will always be there as long as wireless internet stays as it is. No amount of upgraded hardware is going to change things as long as kids hop on the family internet while everyone is youtubing or chilling with Netflix.
My main request for Smash Switch is to prevent other users from seeing your custom name. They're annoying to see and while my 6 year old nephew adores Smash my sister won't let him play online because of the offensive names people use to trash talk or just be "hilarious" shits.
