TBF the Smash series has always been one of the better single player fighting games tho
I'd hardly say that Smash single player content is light. The abscense of story mode doesn't mean the other modes don't count.

There's not a lot of single player content?
There's no huge story mode like Brawl had, but between Classic Mode, All-Star, Events, and Stadium games there's plenty to enjoy by yourself. Also if the online is at least equal to the 3DS version, then it's actually half-way decent unlike Brawl so that should be enjoyable if you can't get people together.

The problem with Smash Bros. is that you are either a fan of the sub-genre it created and of fighting games, or you are not. A lot of sites use reviewers by genre nowadays, but some don't. Plus there's that one website that gives everything a 6 or below.
yeah, it's gonna be embarassing as hell
Positive but not convenient enough to communicate with others
very true. as any review outrage will soon prove my point that i have no desire to talk to random "gamers" online
You can't have an overall positive online experience with random strangers when communication is enabled.Positive but not convenient enough to communicate with others
Mostly joking. Like 3/4.

Metacritic 86. Just above the 3DS version.

In the case of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 I can see the point though. Once you beat the story, you only have online matches to play.
However, Smash tends to give way more content than most fighting games.
I am quite happy with the amount of SP content.
I will wait to judge online though. If it just like the 3DS version, I will be sad.
There's not a lot of single player content?
Hahah, actually there is quite a bit of single player content for sure. My point was that for the "main" single player (classic), it's pretty light (just like every other fighting game's classic mode). I agree with all of you, but I feel reviewers will basically dock points for the classic mode being too basic, i.e. not a story mode like Brawl.
Which is dumb.
EDIT: For clarity, the content in this game is massive. I hope reviewers realize this, play the modes, and keep that in mind when calling a certain mode not up to par.

45 mins. I think the OP started the thread because there is technically 1 review present.
I think they're at noon ET

I give this review thread 0/10, on account of there being no reviews.

Hope this gets good reviews for the sake of maybe getting some additional sales, but game reviews are always a joke and regardless of the scores this gets, it will be no exception. Never understood what makes some random dude on the internet's opinion the be-all-end-all for a game's public opinion.
Back on topic, this game is going to consume my entire life.

Holy crap, 5 pages without a single review? I came in here expecting all kinds of good stuff. -_-
Sigh
The last home console release got 93.
can't wait for manchildren bitching over reviewers with different opinions than them regarding female representation in games

because both melee and brawl are both over 90% on metacritic.

Why does geek.com just have a 'PS4' section

Melee got 92 and Brawl got 93. So can't blame people for having some pretty high expectations when it comes to metacritic score.
Smash is also way more packed with content and features than MK.
Oh wow, I'll see myself out lol

That would be nice.
I can understand if voice chat is disable mid match to prevent extra lag... but it's a shame either way. Monster Hunter on Wii U had voice chat just enabled, and it was so convenient just to talk to my friends while we played.
My bad, forgot to put a /s on my post.
Seems pretty sloppily written. Mistake in the 2nd paragraph: "I briefly lost my faith in Smash this year when Nintendo chose to release You can customize Amiibo versions of these characters, too.)"
No, you only mentioned it once...

While I think this game will get a lot of pretty good scores (not that it matters that much to me anyways 
), I won't be surprised if it gets a lower score than both Melee and Brawl. The rift between Melee vs. Brawl may have changed how reviewers look at Smash games and what to analyze. Just a hunch.
