The game is a mess. I watch my kid play it and it’s so less graceful than smash. Framerates randomly drop, lag spikes happen a few times a minute, hit boxes seem nebulous compared to attack animations.
You can use maybe a quarter of the roster for free. You may be able to unlock everybody from in game currency, but I’m not too sure. They also just… removed a character that wasn’t free. If I paid any money for premium content I’d be pissed
They removed The iron Giant while some kind of tournament was going on. There was a story about some dude who was rising the ranks of the tournament and then they just removed his fucking main
A+ game development right there. I don’t like how Nintendo runs their online services (and actively opposes game tournaments), but you wouldn’t expect such a change in Smash.
Should’ve been interesting patch notes.
“We’ve noticed the Iron Giant has been overperforming, so we just straight up deleted him so we won’t have to think about it.”
Nah, they don’t get the benefit of doubt between this and the impossible free battlepass grind. The whole game reeks of shitty F2P monetization.

Why oppose tournaments?

I would be wary of letting a child play anything with monetization tactics like this.
