Top 10 Worst Things About Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch

Today I'm talking about the top 10 reasons why Smash Bros Switch will fail.
The Top Ten
1 Made By HAL Laboratory, but not Bandai Namco

HAL Laboratory has nonsense games like Kirby Star Allies, and JG's Adventure Resolution 4, The Power Plant of The Dead, and For Sparta. I hate HAL Laboratory games, but I love mature Nintendo games. Bandai Namco made some cool games like Tekken, Dark Souls, Soul Calibur, and Little Nightmares.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that supposedly any opinion withheld by the creator of the list was objective fact.

Look at me! I can see into the future and know if something that hasn't even come out yet is good! I'm a god!

2 Rip-off of Mortal Kombat

How so? Smash Bros. is a platform-fighting game while Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are both basic 2D fighting games with the same styles and different age demographics. I fail to see how you elaborate on this reason.

Street fighter is a ripoff of Mortal Kombat because it has fighting in it. So your saying most fighting games are ripoffs?

Uhhh, Did smash bros pretty much invent the "launch the player off the screen to win", street fighter is more of a health based fighting game, right?

"It has fighting, therefore, it's a rip-off of Mortal Kombat."

3 Horrible Newcomers, but only one good newcomer

Inklings are one of the best newcomers, but some newcomers stink. Spring Man is the worst, Ever Oasis is an useless anime JRPG, Xenoblade Chronicles is for teens, Cash Banooca is made by Sony along with Cloud and Kratos, and Bomberman is the new Snake. If you want a better newcomer, go play as the Inklings.

Dude, they only announced the Inklings so far as the recent newcomers. There hasn't been any news of other newcomers yet. Do your research, man.

Got any proof?

F you King k Fing rool is the Fing best Thing Ever. And all of the new comers are fan favorites the only reason I agree is because WALLUIGI.

4 Terrible graphics

Terrible graphics? They've been getting better and better with each installment, pal. I would have to say the original Nintendo 64 game's graphics don't quite age well, but the graphics for later installments are much more improved. Same thing for Kirby too, bro.

5 Annoying AIs

Aw, someone must really suck at playing video games so much if they can't even fight Lv1 CPU characters...

I hate some AI's so much.

6 Hard Challenges

Yep, someone must really suck at video games.

I always like to change that thing into easy.

7 Not T-Rated or M-Rated

Brawl was rated T. Why did/do all subsequent games have to be rated E10 (the "good boys and girls" rating apparently)? Furthermore, why are they still rated E10 when Bayonetta is in there (still effectively promoting her uncensored M RATED games, if you're going to throw that "she was toned down" argument)?

Had it been rated T, Mai would have been in Terry's stage and gotten a Spirit battle. You know, instead of people wonder how or defending that *Bayonetta* "is for good boys and girls of all ages" yet Mai isn't.

Ahem, Brawl was T-rated... Even so, here's the thing: "T-Rated/M-Rated =/= Good Game"

8 Bayonetta is still there, and no longer optional

So (hypothetically) you were worried about Bayonetta being in "Smash 4". Then you realized she was only DLC and your kids don't play online anyway, so no problem. Now those same kids are begging for Smash Ultimate, but because they had to bring back LITERALLY EVERY PAST CHARACTER, that nasty (w)itch is in, not DLC, and apparently won't even need to be unlocked. Now what?

It's bad enough I keep seeing her online, but at least I didn't have to deal with her in All-Star mode because I spent my $10 or whatever elsewhere. Now I won't be able to play All-Star mode at all in the new game.

"God don't play her" Not that simple, Bayo groupie. Still have to SEE her, get beaten by her, and yes play her so as to unlock some people I actually like.

And now there's even a big bald black male version of her as an Assist Trophy. Not to mention "spirits" from her series.

9 74 characters, and 66 need to be unlocked

Yeah, yeah, unlocking is half the fun or the only reason one would play at all yadda yadda. Can't we at least concede that there was no need to make THAT many characters have to be unlocked?

Actually, as of this writing, there are 80 characters. 66 of which need to be unlocked and 6 of which are "unlocked" by paying real money.

This should be #1

10 Too many characters with counter attacks

Let me guess. You have trouble trying to time counter attacks perfectly that you can't use these characters properly.

We don't even know any characters yet other than Inkling, Mario and Link!

Aww, come on! Even though, there's Marth, Ike, Corrin, Little Mac, Mii Swordfighter, Shulk, JG Freestyle, Foxkloz, Alpha, Demonstrat Jr., and Bayonetta. But, there's two of these characters that have one, Lucario, Lloyd Irving, and Decidueye.

The Contenders
11 Being penalized for disconnecting "in the middle of a battle" online, even if it wasn't your fault or all that was left was the victory screen

So you got a bad connected. Still punished as if you had rage quit. You've already lost all your stocks or stamina, or it's sudden death and you're clearly not part of it. Clearly the battle is already over on your end. Still punished for quitting "mid-battle". My online suspension time is up to three hours because of this BS.

12 The custom stages and Mii Fighters some people make

You mean the sheer number of Sans Miis (including the Sans mask with other outfits), so many stages being recreations of Undertale locations, and overuse of Meglovania on custom stages whether they represent Undertale or not?

Apparently people think that just because Bayonetta is in, they can get away with x-rated stages

That's why I avoid custom stage design!

13 Cloud is still there, and no longer optional

Most overrated video game character EVER! And he's from the first Final Fantasy game after Square and Nintendo parted ways.

Terra should have been the Final Fantasy representative

14 Undertale representation

A MII COSTUME should not overshadow the return of a much-requested game mode, the newest ACTUAL character (Banjo & Kazooie), or the announcement of the next actual character (Terry Bogard of "King of Fighters" fame). But because the costume in question is Sans, it does. Also nigh impossible to play online without encountering a "Mii Gunner" who turns out to be in the Sans outfit. UGH!

Now *another* overrated "indie" game with a toxic fandom is getting a Mii costume and song, *and* it's overshadowing the actual new character yet again!

It's a Mii costume, but still.

15 Boring trailers

Yeah, because there are some of the most crappy trailers.

This list's reasons are boring. YAWN.

16 Rock Howard

This overrated Gary Stu who ruined "Fatal Fury", "King of Fighters", and "Capcom vs SNK" gets yet another opportunity to remind everyone he exists and we all must pretend he's "awesome". Even if it is just a background character.

Mai's way more iconic than he'll ever be, yet he got into Smash Ultimate. At least he's not a Mii costume or spirit, but still.

He's not a Spirit YET, the other comment means. Dragon Quest gotta new Spirit long after Hero's release, so...

99 out of 100 times I play on KoF Stadium, I see this abomination! And he's unkillable!

17 Still too many third-party characters

And there are seriously people who only want it for the overrated, overpowered third-party characters. Some even saying they only want it for Joker, WHO IS DLC!

At least Fighters Pass 1 ended with a *first party* character. Too bad it was from "Fire Emblem", thus opening that can of worms instead.

With more to come. Joker from Persona is definite, and Doomguy and Minecraft's Steve are all but 100% confirmed.

The Fighter's Pass has ben literally nothing *but* third-party characters!

18 Sonic is still there

So the mascot of the company that had the biggest influence on Nintendo shouldn't be in the game?

19 Mii Fighters are now allowed in all online modes

Which equals a scary amount of Mii Gunners online just because of the Sans skin.

Not just Sans, but also Hitler and Al-Qaeda terrorists. Reminders of why Miis hadn't been allowed in Sm4sh.

20 All anybody cares about is Snake's return

Nobody was cut from "Smash 4", whether that many people really missed them or not any and all characters cut from "Melee" and "Brawl" are back, there's still quite a few newcomers despite all that, but everybody's hung up on the fact that Snake's back.

Seems the response to every new character announcement is "yay someone else for Snake whale on" or "Snake can take him/her/them/xim out easily". Or replace Snake's name with Bayonetta's (why oh why did Nintendo bring him back and let her stay).

Why does his presence suddenly make or break a Smash game nowadays? Curse you Kojima for constantly begging for his inclusion and curse you Sakurai for giving in!

21 Go play any other Nintendo Switch Games

If you want a better Nintendo Switch games, go play JG's Adventure series, Bayonetta, Bayonetta 2, Bayonetta 3, Breath of The Wild, Splatoon 2, Skyrim, PAYDAY 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, South Park Fractured But Whole, Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy (Cash Banooca M Saint Trilogy), Metroid Prime 4, and Dark Souls Remastered. But not Super Smash Bros Switch.

"(blah blah blah) NOT THAT GOOD (blah blah blah) DON'T BUY THIS GAME (blah blah blah) SAVE YOUR MONEY (blah blah blah) THERE ARE SO MANY BETTER-OPTIMIZED GAMES OUT THERE"

Or I can look forward to this Nintendo Switch game right here...

22 Possible risk of a poisonous competitive community.

I can hear them, the Melee'rs, the 4'ers. They're just going to complain how their "favorite" elements were changed and since Smash has an extremely active Smash community (excluding Brawl's and 64's), that's gonna taint the image of the game more. I honestly hope this game actually does well, and the community is only but a minor effect (like it should be.)

23 Wolf and Snake are back

A clone and someone who stuck out worse than a sore thumb were cut with good reason only for Nintendo to cave to their whiny fanboys and bring them back

No, didn't misread the title of this list. Both of them should have just stayed gone.

Didn't miss either of them

24 The downloadable content

Super Smash DLC should be #Free, free fighters keeps things going in different directions, Super Smash's lore & story should have hybridized lore/story of every installment from its previous incarnation, originality brings longevity. fighting battle royale beat 'em up games DLC has to free of microtransactions, traditional old fashion of earning things is worth the effort

The last fighter in the first DLC pack wasn't third-party, but was from a first-party series everyone's obligated to complain about.

Everything about that last update was a giant Persona advertisement.

Which is going to all be overrated third party characters, I just know it

25 Not enough new female characters

There were four, or three and a half depending on how you look at: Daisy, Isabelle, Dark Samus, and Inkling (who like Robin or Villager can be either gender, though in Inkling's case the default is female). Still, I don't concern myself with "representation" or "diversity", so of anything this is the lreast of Smash Ultimate's problems.

Only two to be exact: Dark Samus and Isabelle. Kazooie doesn't count because she's not separate from Banjo.

With that "for good boys and girls" comment, what other female characters CAN they put in?

So far the only female DLC character we've gotten is Kazooie, and she's not even her own character.
