hey there at SATA make a swimming bird
and welcome to Super Smash Brothers
ultimate on the Nintendo switch this is
a game I've been really looking forward
to I know a lot of you guys feel the
same so thank you so much for being here
and joining me for the first part of a
brand new series we're going to start
things off by unlocking one of my
favorite game characters of all time or
returning veteran and then we'll jump
into the revamped classic mode to fight
a couple of beloved but reviled villains
we've got a new boss battle for the
series as well as a brand new fighter
never before playable but people have
been one in the sky for decades so I
don't know if you guys know this there's
a lot of characters in this game there's
like 70 plus and only the original eight
are unlocked at the start so along the
way I'm going to talk about how to
unlock characters it's a little
different this time around
I want to make sure everybody can play
as the character they want to unlock so
stick sensitivity quick tip here if you
set it too high it makes some of the
input buffering a little easier on you
now the world of light the story mode if
you're interested in that I'm gonna have
a separate series for it if you want to
see what happened to Eggman and Rover
I'm gonna be going travelling around
with Kirby and trying to save all those
spirits of what seems like pretty much
every video game character to existence
so please check that out there's a
playlist down in the description for you
now things are a little different in a
lot of ways in this game we start out by
choosing the rules and there's a lot of
different things here you can do you can
change you know hazards and all that
stuff a lot of things new for the series
and then we're gonna pick our stage I'm
gonna go to omega great plateau one of
the brand new stages there's only a few
right now but they'll be more with the
DLC and let's pick one of the og
characters I'm gonna start with link
here because we're gonna play him in
classic he's got his new champions tunic
as well as the tunic of the wild there's
fierce deity of course and Dark Link
returns as well and let's play against
Mario I feel like this would be a good
first match to have to set up our unlock
of the first character and I want to
talk about unlocking characters because
you might think world Lite is the best
way to do it and for some of them it is
because you can get them a little
earlier but the way you unlock them
in this game is a little a little
strange send out some sort beams while
we're at zero here the the character
unlocks they're actually very orderly
there's a certain way to get them that
is very predictable and you can just
kind of play normal smash matches if you
you want to unlock them that way there
is a weird movement option or a movement
requirement to do a character unlock and
one of the better ways to do that is to
just kind of go to a stage maybe like
more eight hours from splatoon and run
up the ramps or run around a bit before
you finish your match you can do a real
short match but as long as you move
around a little before you finish the
match you should be good to to get your
next character challenging you it'll be
a one stock one-on-one battle afterwards
and that's how you get the new
characters but if you want a specific
one the classic mode might be the best
way to do that like the character I want
to unlock you might not encounter him
for a while unless you beat Lynx classic
mode and that is what we're gonna do
today so that's that's my priority the
old man's here in the background we're
just gonna knock Mario off the edge I
love Lynx new remote bombs but uh but
yeah if you are curious like the what
the order is of the unlocks and
everything like that then I will put a
link in the description I'm gonna tweet
out an image so you guys can see who who
unlocks when what characters to use that
sort of thing and that is the way to do
it this time around Moria is just really
trying to use that longer smash time to
really bait me into dropping my shield
there we go
I didn't play too much of link in smash
4 I was mainly a link player back in n64
in melee and those games but I do like
his new bombs if you accidently use them
on yourself then
then that is not so good but you can't
use that to recover just like other
links in in previous games as bombs can
be used for that so let's get into some
of the changes with this guy because he
is definitely a lot different maybe the
most different of the original eight and
he can you can grab like a normal person
now he doesn't have the cloth shot or
the hook shot or any of that stuff going
on which is kind of a buff and a nerf
his grabs are definitely faster now of
course he does like a weird a flop with
his bum first trying to try to throw
them up with his down throw but uh but
yeah he's uh he's a little faster with
his grabs which can be good but then you
can't tether to get back which you might
want to do because his recovery not so
hot you can see it doesn't his upbeat
does not go that far but uh but yet you
can also use those remote bombs if I can
try this out here I can you can drop it
and then detonate it to kind of blast
yourself you usually want to do that
when you're in the air let's see if we
can do this like so so if you're off
stage and you have that remote bomb
which you can pull out if you're gonna
die just throw that out and save
yourself you'll get another up be out of
that too you know if you you get hit
it's a good way to to recover it now the
only problem is you can't trigger that
remote bomb when you're using your
upbeat I just realized so it's not like
links old bombs where you can just blow
yourself up to get back I think he's a
lot better in most ways most characters
are just faster in general less landing
lag stronger and we're gonna see how a
bat goes against a sword here in just a
second his his master swords a bit
longer he's got more range I think just
in general he is a better character
there are some trade-offs of course not
having the same bombs and grab and man
but nests we barely knew you and just
laid on the roof of somebody's house
imagine hearing that on the roof it's
not Santa it's a boy being sliced - the
sword okay so he got nest there you go
necess always going to be the first
character you get if you just play a
normal smash mode and then it's gonna
follow in a pattern but we're gonna
break that pattern by jumping into
classic now that I'm warmed up a bit
with link so we're gonna set off on a
unique adventure it's really cool this
time around because it's actually themed
you can change the intensity
just like the last smash and King and we
said Kingdom Hearts kid icarus yeah you
can change that to get risk and reward
the mirror maybe Sora will be in here
who knows the mural goes up as you go
and if you die you can continue with
gold or tickets but you do lose that
intensity I'm just gonna go straight to
higher difficulty here a quest to seal
the darkness is links route this is
fighting against evil or dark characters
and this mural is really cool it starts
out very peaceful with Pikachu here
lounging and then along the way you get
to see things get a little more intense
there's weird shadow dragons Bowser's
grabbing a tail like he wants to eat it
Donkey Kong is gonna throw that one
around so let's go we don't have much
gold but I think we have enough to
continue if we die and we're starting
off with dark pit here the first of the
dark characters so another thing you
probably noticed if you've played link
in the last couple smashes is his gale
boomerang is now a normal boomerang he's
depth breadth of the wild themed of
course so he's got you know the
travelers bow he's got a more normal
boomerang again so it does hit on the
way back but then you don't have some of
those you know things we had before with
the the gale boomerang we had a way of
you know pulling people in by throwing
it out and you know bringing them back
with that tornado so that is a bit of a
trade off but you can also you know set
up for more combos using a more
traditional boomerang and if you do
really miss the hook shot or the claw
shot there's two other links we have
tuned in and young link if you want to
use that and have more normal bombs the
remote bomb is probably the most you
know we talked about a little bit before
maybe the most more obvious of his
changes and it has a downbeat pull out
and then you you know hit it again with
down B to actually get it to blow up but
it is it's kind of a a setup tool in the
way of some other character set that was
there's a fall Smash Ball so it just
exploded on ridley there luckily I
survived that the the set ups you can do
you can hit the the remote bomb around
and it it'll explode after thirty
seconds but you can really play with it
and do some cool offstage set up
shenanigans
so I think that's that's gonna be really
cool to see over time as Lincoln evolves
as a character to see how people use
that offstage to edgeguard because one
of the major changes if we're gonna talk
about how ultimate is different from the
last smash game and previous ones is
offstage is more much more vulnerable
this isn't young like but he's got the
bunny hood offstage is more vulnerable
probably closer to some of the earlier
smash games compared to smash for Wii U
and you can only really air dodge once
offstage or you are gonna be in trouble
because there's a lot of lag on the air
dodge purposefully so it's a good type
of lag to make sure cheese should just
explode it the Reaper doesn't MIT does
not mess around the the lag offstage if
you use an air dodge it is really gonna
put you in a vulnerable position so you
got to be careful with that and you
can't act out of it like you would in
spent you know previously you could just
air dodge air dodge it need to be fine
but you can see especially the
directional arrow dodges they take a bit
to recover and the more you use them the
harder it is to recover from that
because you're gonna have less
vulnerability freedom more vulnerability
and less invulnerability Dark Samus just
stole my rambling even evil mushroom
we're getting a lot of earthbound items
here I'm sorry mr. Saturn I love you my
controls are reversed because of this
new rambling evil mushroom when you have
a mushroom on your head
that is what happens everyone knows that
of course they teach you that in school
I want to get mr. Saturn here and try to
there we go get Samus out of the way
what if we did I really want my controls
to be set back there we go
I was gonna say we really want to get a
bomb over there and blow that thing up
that would be great
but let's just I almost went for that
warp star but that would have been bad
another thing in this game that is new
is smash attacks you can charge them
about three times am as I was trying to
show something you can charge them about
three times as long as you could in in
smash 4 and if they don't do any more
damage or knock back past like the 1
second mark of charge
but it's just you know a good thing for
timing you'll notice it just in general
characters are so much faster with
movement because that is a new thing in
this game is you know just making sure
everyone has more movement options and
the game definitely plays faster am i
drifting away here that hair set clean
threw me off oh okay good
that was her sometimes you both hit and
link doesn't want anyone to see his face
you both hit and you don't know at first
who is uh who's clashing and who's
flying off and the directional air
dodges of those returned from melee and
and just in general there is a sense
that there's gonna be a lot more
movement options and different tech in
this game I've got a you know feeling
that compared to four which had had a
lot of cool stuff in it that people are
already finding crazy things and we just
got this game so it's yeah it's gonna
hopefully have a long life and a lot of
interesting matches to check out look at
Pac Man down there vamping am in amongst
all the terror and craziness going on
alright this is our last normal fight
against Dark Link over there oh you
can't blow up your remote bomb when
someone else is holding it you gotta
wait till they have dropped it
unfortunately he's got his own I'm gonna
try to hit me into it
let's get back to mine it's all the way
over there you might as well just
explode it at that point there we go
so you know just having the the
differences to air dodging and stuff
means there's good it's gonna be a more
aggressive game in general because
you're not going to be able to just pull
defensive options all the time but one
defensive option that is new is the
replacement for perfect shielding is
called parrying and if you let go of
your shield right when you're attacked
don't see if I can try it here and just
get one I might feel probably gonna
break if I'm not careful you've probably
seen it happen it's this little ricochet
sound and then people will
let's throw bombs at each other just
have a war of attrition hear the sound
for the perfect shield or the parry is
very unique as soon as I dropped it he
blew it up
it is it it signals that you have pulled
one off in that you can actually kind of
act out of the attack that you blocked
much faster similar to a perfect shield
but it's got a bit of a different idea
to it it slows your opponent down it
gives them more you know lag at the end
of their attack so you can pull
something off and punish them pretty
quickly and link just in general he of
course still has that Hylian Shield
which as long as you're not running or
really throwing anything out you can
block pretty much any projectile we've
got a race to the finish
throwback here the bonus game mysterious
realm where a black hole threatens to
swallow you run to the right to escape
it so we're gonna try even though the
link is a bit faster he's still on the
heavy end in this game so he's not gonna
be able to really go too quickly here
but we'll try our best to try to bounce
along there we go I'm not going after
those as the black hole is right behind
us
but yeah parrying is definitely one of
the big new differences in this game and
just the whole you know talking about it
being faster you can act out of your
dashes in this game without having to
you know shield and and do anything to
slow yourself down before doing it so
I'll show that in the in one of the next
matches here you can just kind of - up
and then throw out something there's no
time for this oh go for it but that's a
you can break those to get in there and
if you if you wanna you know smash
attack or just jab or tilt out of a lets
get out of here now worth it it's just
gold
you got the Triforce probably alright
you got one of the pieces that already
linked don't worry about getting these
little gold baubles oh yeah you can you
can dash up as long as you're not
hitting the stick like you feel like go
and put it back to centre you can throw
out a smash attack or a tilt or anything
so that's a really good option Ganon not
I did not expect
Ganon to appear in anything but
Ganondorf final smash attack I'd really
love him to be his own character but he
is in this new game as a boss which is a
cool addition his tail of course is
vulnerable
wanted to try to get around that by spot
dodging but that's kind of a long attack
to do that for so his tail is you as you
can see it glows a very radioactive
looking evil color and that is when you
want to go for it when you hit it hard
he gets a you know a lot of a lot of
stun years I'm just gonna try my best to
hit him with something powerful really
gonna try to it's been around on me and
get me go he'll definitely try to get
you on his bad side
there we go careful patient err dodges
are the key to this bite oh okay
man the bomb I thought would clip
through his underbelly there got him ah
yeah some of his attacks he just
automatically turns around so it makes
it a little tougher to do that there we
go I time to spot dodge right he's he's
very projected with his attacks but he
is kind of tough if you're not careful
to to take him down cuz he really really
protects that tail as you would expect
from someone with such a vulnerable weak
point oh no the bomb hit me we're all
right let's go crazy with this I try to
just smash like crazy on him and do not
have much life left here but we are very
high difficulty so as you can tell I
would hit him we are like one good hit
away from potentially dying without
killing him no no no mmm so you can see
if there's a new new indicator where you
are in the blast zones of the game and
with you know how close you are to dying
No
ah I got greedy that's what Dark Souls
situation we're gonna lose a little
intensity there but I got greedy and
tried to get that last hit there we go
alright well hit him with a sword beam
so if you're at zero as a throwback to
the old Zelda's you can do a smash
attack and throw out that beam from your
blade and his arrows we didn't really go
into those but they're quite a bit
faster and you can shoot one on the
ground pick it up and then either throw
it out
or use it in your bow and shoot two at
once Thank You Xander Mobius he's a very
excited for us doing well but up but
yeah you can shoot two arrows at once if
you pick one up and it does you know
double damage as you would expect this
is the new credit sequence link is
flying around to some classic Zelda
music and using the super scope to blast
the names of everyone who made this game
possible and there's some interesting
stuff in here I noticed some Japanese
competitive smash players were listed as
testers so it's nice to see you know not
only is the game you know considering
everyone playing it from a newcomer to a
veteran or and you know casual to
competitive I'm glad that there's so
many different ways to play it I've been
getting into competitive smash more
recently and going to my local
tournaments and everything trying my
best with my main who is hopefully gonna
be unlocked here before too long I think
we'll get them in world of light but I'm
excited to try all the new characters I
really want to get a good rush down
character like maybe the inkling from
splatoon a heavy like King Dedede or
king rule maybe and as owner like duck
hunt the character I played a lot of in
smash 4 I got to have a good variety I
think this time around there's just so
many characters pokemon trainer is one
that I'm excited for because they have a
lot of variety just within one character
now this this game here you can see up
the bottom lose like a not to get off
track by talking about the characters
too much we're about to see one of the
new ones there's a little meter and as
long as we keep shooting stuff we can
fill that up and unlock some special
extras we'll see at the end if you get
hit by these little little red enemies
or the the green ones that shoot out
purple orbs it will stop you from
shooting momentarily so it definitely
seems feasible to hit all the credits I
I always felt like it seemed impossible
in some of the older games to do all
that I'm sure other people have done it
but uh but yeah it's like you can really
rack them up easily and hit most of them
those purple things obviously are bombs
making your life easier here so yeah
definitely check out a world of light if
you haven't
r-ready I am definitely I'm excited for
that I think more than some of the other
stuff because as much as I am into
competitive play I do enjoy things like
the Subspace Emissary and seeing about a
story and all the cleverness of the
spirits were they're gonna be taking
characters that are playable and putting
spirits behind them that aren't to try
to make new new matchup types and
everything so that is that is very
exciting I've heard some good things
about world of light and I think I'm
gonna use that to hopefully get duck
hunt a little early because he is stuff
to unlock otherwise if you have any
questions about the game let me know in
the comments please I will be happy to
answer them everybody's still learning
at this point but I have been excited to
just you know absorb tons of info about
this new smash so there's Lincoln the
news that you know old Zelda but new
design for Zelda and smash posing
therefore his wind picture and it's not
over yet guys we did get a spirit
fighter for link you get that you know
whoever you play as you will get their
spirit fighter alike like that's some
old art but it looks pretty crisp
they're still and that's just all so
cool about the spirit to get to see some
old art from games alright here he is if
you play link you will all wait in
classic you always get this as your
first challenger in his King K rool we
got the new King plate galleon I don't
know if it'll get to the mat the rap
portion with K rool if I'm doing my job
it won't get that far
K rool is very scary if you watched one
of my preview videos of smash he saw his
his armor on his moves he has a ton of
moves with super armor that used his
belly and make him very very scary
because he can hit through tons of stuff
he hasn't hit me yet so I still have my
beams wash out as soon as I say that
he's gonna get me if I can hitch guard
him here with my bombs gotta make good
use of those there we go okay rule come
here buddy hit him on the way back I was
hoping it would hit him a little farther
and then I could get him with something
links up air lingers a lot I'm being
careful because I don't want to get a
claptrap or something killing me at this
point and sweeping me down the river so
I'm trying to stay here where I'm
less vulnerable almost got me there
let's get him yeah all right good way to
end it didn't hit me at all that's it
you know when he would really want to
unlock a character that's what you want
to see so there you go and one last
thing about unlocking characters here is
we get some some milestones if you wanna
the fastest way to unlock them I
mentioned the different ways you know
you can play versus matches classic row
too late the fastest way that's so weird
I don't know what's going on there
they're fighting over Pauline alright
but uh but yeah if you there's a ten
minute timer after you unlock a
character that you have to wait but if
you close the game or even change the
game language that actually in gets that
timer you know out of the way so as long
as you're moving around enough and you
have that distance traveled like I was
saying maybe go to more eight hours to
do that then you can unlock the next
character lickety-split like you know
right after that as long as you do a
quick match you'll just be unlocking
them really really quick so there we go
thank you guys so much for watching
again please check out world of light
next time we might take this uh I was
gonna say a little lizard this big
lizard for a spin with classic mode
super heavyweight class I think we're
gonna be fine Donkey Kong and some of
the others there and we'll unlock a
character with him that has not been
seen for a few games
another veteran thank you guys so much
for watching please leave a like if you
enjoyed this and if you want to
subscribe or hit that little bell to get
notifications there's more smash on the
way I will see you guys next time I
appreciate you being here
goodbye
