Description

Final

72 fighters until today!

Final new fighters I like how they went back to the poster a filled it in as they went.
Ken (Echo) His ultimate looks really cool (They disrespect Luigi by calling him a Mario Echo!)
Faster than Ryu
Incineroar (Pokemon?) Based on wrestling (lots of throws)
74 fighters (Start with Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox and Pikachu)

Paid DLC coming! This was kind of telegraphed because Mr. Furukawa said they wanted more DLC in their bigger titles
1 fighter 1 stage and music tracks ($5.99)
Fighters pass
5 fighters 5 stages and all music trakcs ($24.99) (I'll be buying it)

Characters other than fighters?
Spirits! This is the adventure mode - feels like Gatcha???!?!
Power up your character in battle, kind of like Blades and drivers in Xenoblade
Spirits come in classes Novice > Advanced > Aces > Legends
You assign one spirit at a time (your spirits can get support spirits)

Spirit battles to get spirits (PvE)

Support Spirits help you avoid environmental damage

There is a weapon triangle

As if a game with a roster this big wasn't going to be hard enough to balance.
Perhaps they did it to make it so people could balance weaknessess themselves?


Matchmaking is based on what rules you like, Smash Power (ranking) , Proximity

Online battles

Elite Smash - Smash tags (collect for winning)

Spectator mode! Will be running tournaments on twitch for this

Smash World (gameplay videos / Social media?)

This is Games with Bill, your ALMOST DAILY micro-podcast about video games. Each episode I pick one topic from the industry and discuss it for hopefully less than 10 minutes. Previously this podcast was called Nintendo Switch Craft, during that time the show was nominated for Best Gaming Podcast three times by the International Podcast Awards. However the show was focused on just Nintendo games, but recently I've been branching out and I wanted to be able to talk about gaming from all platforms. So if you're looking for a place for Gaming News, subscribe its free!
