I just played an hour of this! The menus are gorgeous and the assist trophies are really fun. I got one that was the main character from The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls and he is so rad and cute. It made me really want to finally play that game!
I unlocked the inklings and they’re strange but feel pretty good.
Apparently the first DLC character is gonna be the protagonist from Persona 5, so that’s fucking bonkers.
i got this and played it a bit before work. it seems that “reset glitch” everyone kept passing around about unlocking characters is mostly hogwash. guess i’ll just have to spend a few hours tonight unlocking Bros. to Smash.
Yeah, I played an hour of vs. mode with my buddy and we were unlocking new characters roughly every two matches. We couldn’t discern any meaningful order to the unlocks. Is it random?
Seems somewhat random, yeah. My experience has been alternating between old characters and new, but I don’t know if that is intentional or just dumb luck.
If you only play versus matches they unlock in a set order but if you unlock from the adventure or classic mode it will probably shake up the order. I managed to get Megaman and Ryu on my first night of grinding so I’m happy to get whatever now.
The close game and reset trick works fine but you have to play for about 20-30 minutes to build up some data records. It seems that distance walked and number of jumps and all sorts of other data unlock fighters into a queue of sorts and once you’ve met those thresholds they will start being active in the Challenger Approaches parts.
Man, at first glance Samus is in some dire straits. Dash attack isn’t a combo starter anymore, down throw is a nonstarter at even less percentage and missles feel even less impressive than they did in 4. I’ll spend more time to see if I can get a neutral gameplan going before I cry lost cause but Melee Samus was just so much fun. Ryu’s autofacing is at times an amazing boon but also a mental control hurdle to get used to. Auto short hop attack is an amazing control feature but I still need to sit down and fiddle with my controls to get them just right.
