Earlier this week, Nintendo added a new battle to it Super Smash Bros. Finally, is a very popular company Fire Cone– a fighting game.
Byleth, a character character from Fire Cone: Three houses, is the sixth freshman to join the program since Smash UltimateDelivery is December 2018. Starting with Piranha Plant, January 2019, Nintendo has released new fighters every few months. Of the latest five characters, they've thrown in a new category – new songs, to boot.
It's been a great way to keep the game fresh, even if other additions have provoked controversy. Recently, others Smash the fans are enlightened the fact that Bethth is eighth Fire Cone character to find Smash treatment, all while long-pressed favorites are left by the wayside. (Let's find love Witches, Nintendo!)
But now that the professor of this time, Greg Mach has joined the ranks, Smash UltimateThe first thread of the DLC release has been completed, which means there's something new to discuss: Does this content make sense to the game? For fans of the game – even for casual players – the answer is "yes." Clearly the DLC is like "more." Smash. And who doesn't want any more? Smash?
First thing first. What's included in the DLC?
Like most time-separated DLCs, it's a post-release schedule for Smash Ultimate it has been confusing. If you were the first developer of the game – in other words, you played it and registered online for the first two months after launch – you will find a downloadable Piranha Plant code. If you missed that window, you can still find the Piranha Plant, but it is expensive. Now, the toothy fella is only available as an individual download for $ 5.99.
Other pieces of the DLC – called “Challenger Packs” – are as follows:
- The Challenger Pack 1 includes the Joker, from Persona series, and the stage Mementos.
- The Challenger Pack 2 includes Hero, from Dragon Quest, and the Altar section of Yggdrasil.
- The Challenger Pack 3 introduces Banjo & Kazooie, a couple played by players there has been a complaint, and the Spiral Mountain ladder.
- The Challenger Pack 4 features Terry, from Deadly Anger (yes, the series & # 39; 90s-era fighting game), and the King of Fighters Stadium stage.
- Challenger Pack 5 features Byleth, from Fire Cone: Three houses, and the Garreg Mach Monastery.
CORRECTION-3: 45 p.m .: An earlier version of this article meant that the Mii costumes were included in the Fighters Pass and individual Challenger Packs. As some readers have pointed out, this is not the case; Mii garments are sold separately at an additional cost.
You can get each Challenger Pack for $ 5.99. Or, for $ 24,99, you can get a whole heap – a deal that Nintendo calls “Fighters Pass.” (Bonus: Taking a Fighters Pass will get you a Mii Swordfighter: Rex, Xenoblade Chronicles 2.)
Now, the Piranha Plant is, in a sense, no included in Fighters Pass. But if I rate all the content of the posting issue entirely, it's impossible not to imagine the character. After all, Piranha was free for the good 60 days after its launch. And the next volume of Fighters Pass – which aims to wrap up before December 2021—there will be six characters Overall, the same amount as the Fighters Pass and the individual Piranha Plant DLC. So we count Piranha Plant as, for all intents and purposes, part of this first Fighters Pass.
Which new enemy is the easiest to replace?
As this is the case Smash, many characters are easy to find. You know that up-B will take you back to the stage (maybe). You know that the A-side will charge a striking motion and launch the opponent off the stage (possibly). However, for the most part, this group of DLC characters alone has a complexity of complexity other than Smash-standard "Hold the stick to one side and hit the button."
Piranha Plant has a set of steps unlike any other in the past Smash the character and, without a doubt, is amazing. Neutral-B has Piranha spit out and temporarily halts the slow-moving steel ball, while B-side claims that Piranha releases a toxic gas cloud that produces a negative effect but does not hit the ground. . The Joker transforms into his "man," and becomes a great warrior as a result. Hero has a random removal. Banjo and Kazooie can take different combat positions, optimized for projectiles. Terry needs the input of a true unity command, and is constantly facing his opponents in single games, two design decisions that feel outdated during arcade fighting games. The only new person who doesn't mess things up in a big way is Beatle.
In our portrayal of this latest character, KotakuIan Walker you called Byleth is a "refreshingly simple" with a variety of amazing yet basic broadcasts that give players all the tools they need to succeed in almost every situation. Yes. Ian appears on the scene. Well, a little bit more than, say, Marth or Lucina or Roy. But they are faster than Ike, and they are just as varied as Robin without carrying too much weight. If you enjoy playing any other 416 Fire Cone they are not counted in Smash, you will feel at home about Beatles.
Okay, but what's the best new enemy?
Ask for goodness, and they'll tell you that Joker is the best. Meanwhile, pro player Mario “MKLeo” Lopez has flooded the venue with a Joker target. Joker has also been the only DLC character who lives in the upper echelons of the series (though it should be noted that, as Kotaku& # 39; & # 39; Maddy Myers to put, "The tier list is full of shit"). Even Gonzalo "Zero" Barrios – a popular broadcaster widely regarded as one of the top Smash players in the world—to record that you are taking the Joker the best you can.
But most of the players are not quality. Their abilities are superhuman, and a senseless tag for us that is not blessed in God-like reaction times. To us hoi polloi, Hero is a whole new war.
Hero's gimmick is that, rather than having four special moves, like many winners, he has an average of, oh, 400,000. By tapping Down-B, you can drag a random list of four additional options. Everyone draws mana from the MP meter that fills so much speed you don't have to worry about really keeping an eye on it. Other moves, like Sizz, don't do much. Some have unique abilities, such as Bounce (giving Helloli an iconic shield) or Heal (Heals Hero). But the lion's share can easily qualify as WMDs.
For example, Kaboom sends a fast-moving light projectile kaboom (and sends opponents to fly as soon as possible). Magic Burst takes up part of the screen and deals significant damage. Kamikazee is actually confirming the KO (though it will release Hero with it, as you can probably guess). Hatchet Man can counter KO opponents with less than 30% damage. The other two movements, Thack and Whack, have less chance of a faster KO.
Even Hero & # 39; s based on a hilarially. Side-B is a light spell that, if fully charged, can KO many 35% of the combatants (if they are near the edge). Neutral-B is a fire spell that, if fully charged, will deal 35% damage. So when you hit the mid-and-B's best-paid bowler and the B-charged side completely – a shame that doesn't ruin the MP meter, by the way – they're toast. What else Smash can Fighters effectively outsource other Fighters with two well-placed hits?
However, No he was briefly banned from Nintendo-approved Smash tournament last year.
Which Challenger Pack audio track should be played for duplication?
Fire Cone: Three houses. (You can find these 11 tracks in the Challenger Pack 5.)
What new levels should you play?
Oh, that's cool, you can imagine when you first saw the King of Fighters Stadium, Terry's stage. Another flat court. Goody! At first glance, you'll be right. King of Fighters Stadium is just a stadium. But if you play it every 30 seconds, you'll see more. In fact, for one of the frenetic, high-octane stages at Smash history.
Look, there are invisible walls on both sides. So, unlike the other game-scaling sections of the screen, you can't just tie an opponent wrong in the field of view and drag them into KO. To beat KO, the King of Fighters Stadium requires you to beat some real fighters, indeed
Since enemies can be launched on stage, you will not be the victim of a bad spike. You also don't have to worry about guarding the edge (a suspicious practice of knocking an opponent to the edge, refusing to take them back to the stage, and then bringing them to an end when their injury reaches a certain level). The King of Fighters Stadium listens to a playing field for fighters and players who may be weak in the air.
Joker's stage, Mementos, and added stand-up. First of all, it's pretty cool. Whatever your thoughts are on Persona series (love it or indeed love), you can't deny that a few games have style in confidence. Mementos pulls the color scheme into the latest three games of the series, then compares it to the tone of the sound. When a song appears Persona 5 is playing, the stage will turn red. Persona 4 it turns things blue. Persona 3? Yellow.
In terms of how it plays out, Mementos is actually a Battlefield – one large platform with three small floats over it – without the divine center platform. The catch is that, on a regular basis, the wall appears randomly on the "roof" or on either of the two sides, completely blocking the eruption. You can get a direct hit, guaranteed to get you into a KO, only when you'll have a wall at the last second, save your opponent and give them another deal of life (or that life). Confusing? Yes. Is also an explosion, a layer of suddenness that lasts a long time Smash the course to the next level? And yes.
The other three categories – Yggdrasil Altar, Spiral Mountain, and Garreg Mach Monastery – are not something you can write about. In fact, the Garreg Mach Monastery is playing just as much as enough in another Fire Cone the stage, Castle Siege, that one can't help but wonder how important its installation was. So much fun music in this game, though!
Are Fighters Pass Important?
At the end of the day, more Smash more Smash more Smash. If you love the game, there's a lot to like here – because, in fact, every Challenger Pack brings something on the table. The first has given consumers exciting new benefits with regular players a fun new category. The second one introduced the most unexpected expert on the list. The third answered a clarifying call for fan service. And without the fourth one, the King of Fighters Stadium would still be held in a dusty, dusty fireplace.
If there is one packet that is weaker than another, it's the fifth. (You did Smash players really need more Fire Cone?) But buying four Challenger Pack is a dollar lower than Fighters Pass throughout. And if you've downloaded the first four piecemeals, you've missed out on an excellent new offering: the Fire Cone the sound.
