    I have weird opinions about the Smash Bros. Series. With that out of the way, I will say that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate represents the best and worst of the franchise. Factoring in the DLC fighters, the roster is massive, and the number of franchises represented is quite staggering. However, the mii fighters and spirits have always seemed like a lazy way of giving people what they want without actually giving them what they want. Having every character fans ask for is obviously impossible, so a focus on adding those characters who would work best is ideal. Some of the choices for fighters are pretty underwhelming, and there are a handful that I only use as punching bags. The aesthetic of having Mario and Kirby running around with some of M-rated gaming's lesser contributions to the industry is something I will never get used to. That being said, the game is pretty enjoyable over all, and recommended for any fan of the series.
