Super Smash Bros. ULTIMATE

3DS Wii U

Super Smash Bros. ULTIMATE is the new Super Smash Bros. Game from Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U. A port for the Aetherex had been released with all the characters from the actual Ultimate, including from the 3DS and Wii U versions.

Gameplay

The gameplay is very similar to both Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, especially the Wii U version, but mostly because of controls and in terms of graphics. The pace of battles in the game as been confirmed to be close to that of Super Smash Bros. Melee's, being rather fast-paced, which leads to a more competitive play. Elements and features such as the Final Smashes and the Footstool Jumping returns in the game, and unlike the last installment, the tripping feature returns from Brawl. Other older features such as Wall Jumping (and wall cling) and the Tether Recovery return in this game. Unlike the last installment, which had a version for the Wii U, this one doesn't change its roster with another version of the game, which means that the roster is considerably larger.

The game shares the same basic controls as its predecessors, especially Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, as both are for the same console. The goal of the game is the same as the other installments, to attack and damage opponents to increase their damage percentage. The higher the percentage is, the faster players can be sent flyng from the stage. Players must knock others off the stage to perform a KO, which gives them a score which will determine the winner at the end. Basic moves can be done either on land or in mid-air using the  button, while using the  causes the character to perform Special Moves. Different variations of moves can be done if pressing these buttons while tilting the , and depending to where it's tilted a different move will be performed.

An important move is the shield which every character can do to block most attacks. They can also dodge attacks by tilting  down or at the sides while they are using the shield, it can also be performed in mid-air to dodge incoming attacks while the player is jumping or falling. However, If the shield is too small, the player is vulnerable to attacks and if the shield breaks, the player is momentarily stunned. The player can also do grabs while shielding. Once the player has grabbed an opponent he or she can either pummel the opponent with the attack button or throw the opponent with the . Opponents can break free of grabs by moving the control stick and mashing buttons, but the higher the percentage, the longer it takes for opponents to be released.

Playable Characters

The game is confirmed to have a total of ??? playable characters counting DLC (??? if transformations, trainer's pokémon and Mii Fighters are counted separately). Unlike the last installment, transformations return, making Sheik and Zero Suit Samus non-standalone characters once again, along with new transformations for other characters: Bowser with Dry Bowser, Bowser Jr. with Shadow Mario, etc.
