hey everyone I'm Jeff Bakalar Super Smash Brothers ultimate is upon us I am very bad at that video game my buddy Alfred is very good and he reviewed it foreseen it we're gonna play a few rounds I'm gonna talk to him about what this game is all about if he likes it and you're gonna sit there and enjoy it I hope let's get right into it all the new characters at the bottom they ordered it from basically their parents in the games electron illogically yeah except no me fighters I don't know they're always just in the corner for some reason I don't know why but in cinema is one of the new characters he's a Pokemon that is a cat wrestler so very good they said oh who any of these people are and I grew up with Nintendo my whole life not man but that doesn't make any sense well cloud is not a Nintendo yeah that's right what is this sort of package offer that maybe wasn't in the last Super Smash game that was on Wii U the stage was in super smash bros melee but it was not in brawl and this is like one of the tournament stages that people play a lot in melee because it has like a really large like blast zone I'm at like a really high percentage right now and even if you hit me like all the way up I probably would not die compared to the last super smash game when this was announced they were worried that this was just gonna be like an evolution of that first oh yeah Wii U game what can you like yeah a lot of people were really worried that would just be a port like in the same way that Mario Kart 8 deluxe was just Mario Kart 8 on switch this is a completely different game this is you know obviously if like all these new characters they changed the physics up a lot and it's like much harder to you know run away from people it's much harder to like you know constantly dodge somebody without any consequences which makes it like much more aggressive to play like it forces you to like get out of like you're hiding spots and like go and fight instead which I really enjoy a lot it's obviously like much more fun to watch I'm not good at this game yeah at all can you cuz you could tell cuz I just kind of fell off this for no reason there for someone who's a casual you know Smash fan like me or what are they gonna notice that is kind of different from the last iteration I think the biggest thing for more casuals is looks like you have a moves list now so I don't know what you're doing at all you should go to your character and like look through that they were talking about how rage is different now yeah so rage was a mechanic that they introduced in Smash for the one for the Wii U and the 3ds which basically was that your knock-back like you hitting me off the stage was a lot further if you were losing that's fun like when you're playing with friends cuz you know you have to like comebacks and all that sure and you want the playing field to be even in some capacity yeah but I mean for competitive players that were kind of annoyed by that because it was basically you know if somebody's losing then you know they have an advantage and like the game was kind of rewarding them for that rage is still in this game but they like severely reduced it now as ambitious as this game is with the amount of characters do you think they handled it well do you think they were able to like wrap their heads around it and really give like a complete kind of package yeah even in the story mode you could see that they did a lot as far as the story mode goes and even like on just the characters themselves like I'm playing with Simon Belmont from Castlevania yeah so he has all this attacks but look if you just hold a you just hold the whip out and you can just swing it around that's good and they don't tell you that you said you enjoyed some of the story stuff you think they deliver on that yeah the story I thought that it'd be like Subspace Emissary which came out for brawl on the Wii well you know once you did it it was over and but yeah there's so much replay value on the board I haven't even finished it yet I've been playing it for about four or five days now I've actually been playing it way more on the handout than I have on a TV like this just because I'm out and about a lot and I don't like to like stay home and just play video games all the time playing this on the go my friends has been pretty fun I use like the joy Khan controller what you would think is really annoying cuz it's so small and there's not as many buttons on it as a GameCube controller has but from the matches that I played like it's limited like obviously but it's still like really good to play with you think this is the best you know kind of like eSports friendly version of the game that they've my would yeah I would definitely say so they they added a lot to it to make it more eSports friendly like I think the scores on the screen like are really helpful for spectators I'm very interested to see where it goes like in the meta game wise just because you know when the last match released you know a lot of people thought that bow there was supposed to be a really good character and then it took enough after enough time people like figured out the meta game and figured out that you know there's much better characters than Bowser honestly this were like the last Smash Brothers game which I hope it isn't I think I'd be like happy with it that's high praise thank you very much Alfred thank you for the beating and if you want to read the full review check it out at cnn.com thanks for watching
