Smash Ultimate is Broken 

One mill in one week Just wow

It’s really cool to see this channel gaining popularity.

how cud he not mention how broken peech is

@@cremudgenguy2132 IDK Maybe this video was released on December 28th?

Whew

Alex Bright Sakurai isn’t a part of the balancing team this game, so he probably engaged in a drug-induced fever dream right before he was supposed to review the prepared patch notes to decide what’s important to share to the community.

Paul Johnson Thanks, it’s my specialty.

That explains K. Rool armor

C'mon, he tried.

black mirror type shit

yep

Like with chrom. They did not do him any favors

It was way early to make a 'smash ultimate is broken' video tbh. Feels like this might as well have had a different title/been it's own series just looking at how much has changed. Luigi's throw combos were patched, chrom's up b suicide always kills him second now, samus and dark samus were discovered to also be exactly the same along with other echos mentioned. Simon and richter are gradually drifitng lower in people's tier lists and are generally considered low mid tier. K rool's belly armor isn't that hard to play around and his character isn't anywhere near as oppressive as people thought he'd be. Incenroar's counter is powerful but not really oppressive or even that strong. It's kind of like pointing out how strong a fully charged g&w oil panic is. We have patch notes now! It took...not very long to get them lol. Pichu ftilt was patched. Inkling IS very good and her run animation is very strong, but grounding moves are mostly bad. Turns out mashing is easy folks. I'm pretty sure the framing of this video was meant to be a little clickbaity. And you can tell some people had a negative reaction because it has 2k dislikes. This stuff is all mentioned in the sequel, smash ultimate is broken 2. But it's still pretty awks seeing as almost twice as many people have seen this and not the next one.

@@Chickenman161 I don't think it was too early, per se. Considering this wasn't his first Smash is Broken video, I wouldn't call it clickbait. All those downvotes are the result of people taking it too seriously, when the video is pretty clear he didn't think the game was broken, but was just pointing out the jank. I'm glad he did, because I didn't know about, for instance, the fact that Simon and Richter were ever considered playable characters.

OsidiustheEmphatic I mean everything in this video is basically just thrown out the window now so I’d say it’s fair to say this video was definitely made too early he should’ve waited at least a year or so

He's just boring

Besides those online tourneys in the Tourney Mode. Those have a few inklings.

@i hate reading I see Chrom being played a lot more than inkling. Also, I have a deep and historical connection with the Fire Emblem franchise. As a Roy main, personally I don't quite get why you'd pick him instead, unless you want a faster Ike with Dancing Blade or just play him because of who he is, not because of his strengths.

i forget many characters are in ultimate

Not including me. Inkling or Mega Man are my go-to’s

p a t c h e d

King k Rool is broken he is my new main

We are running it back asap

Of course you're the one to say it's balanced lmao

*insert lenny face meme here*

This is worse than that time Dunkey beat Sky at Smash

@@sekani9761 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

MockRock 1.3.0: Chrom now has Ike's nair and up-B has super armor for the whole move

You mean sm4sh cloud?

Nintendo: Ok, we won't give it to a fast character. Ike now has Jigglypuff's airspeed

You mean Shulk, especially in Speed Arts?

@@jonsanta8452 Goddammit, beat me to it. S4 Cloud mains still be like "bUT HIS reCoVerY Is bAd"

Its funny that the dlc only made things less balanced

LOL

worst part is pichu was probably the elast affected out of the destroyed three atleast pichu still has all his frame data and damage, just lost a (broken) ill option and given more self damage for some god forsaken reason. this means pichu is still highly playable, just not full on S_tier anymore

@@gypsysprite4824 The f-tilt was hit hard but the Pichu combos Heeew stated in the second Smash Ultimate Is Broken does keep him in s tier(not full) in my opinion

Prøx3MIty :P he now takes a whole 1% damage for an electro jolt so I switched to pikachu again

@@gypsysprite4824 im late and could be a dumb question but who are the “destroyed three”

And they look so much cooler

I'd love to see a good tutorial on how to desync, it looks rad as hell.

@@hyper-thermal izaw smash did a vid on it.

also seriously everyone should just watch everything Izaw puts out. His content is fantastic and more informative than 99% of smash tutorials on YT

BrianConnolly12 Harder comboes in exchange for actually having good enough neutral to land them? Good enough.

Masahiro Sakurai next time don’t forget to invite wa ha hee plz

My guy, you probably won't listen but can we PLEASE get either Infernape or Decidueye for DLC, PLEASE!

Make the boxing ring a stage standard.

@@ghetsispokemongaming8942 decidueye is almost 100% wont be in smash. Sakurai considered but they went with inceneroar instead. Maybe the moveset isnt good enough or something

You made the mistake of creating Waluigi milord

Final Boss: Piranha Plant Secret Final Boss: Sakurai

RWolf dude why are you coughing

@RWolf that was my attempt at making that joke

So true

i wouldn't be suprised if Sakurai wasn't the one who made that call, but instead nintendo continuing their campaign against any and all glitches

@@gypsysprite4824 I mean it makes sense. They do want to make a solid game at that most glitches in this game weren't useful or positive anyway, the Bucket Glitch essentially invalidates any character with projectiles to an extent. The Item Glitch was the only good one but it's logical to patch it out before someone does it online

*continues to add even more Fire Emblem characters because Japan is the land of weebs*

Nice pfp lol

Darko 6-6-6 blue kool aid

Richter Holy Something in a bottle have a water element to it so I'm guessing he's throwing splash potions from minecraft.

Darko 6-6-6 *throws in spanish*

It registers as aura damage, like Lucario's attacks, Mewtwo's Shadow Ball, and Dark Samus's charge shot.

SALTY BOI YES

StickMaster500 makes you wonder if heel talk about pre patch bayo

Honestly Brawl Meta Knight is far worse than pre-patch Bayonetta

Omega of Gallifrey that’s heavily debatable, cause bayo has witch time and combos at 0%, meanwhile meta knight has RIDICULOUS frame data and recovery.

she has to.

Cloud might share a similar (but shorter) section

*Months Later...* Shulk is the most broken character in the game

Shulk: Why do I hear Persona music?

Mii Channel You DO realize shulk has a really good matchup with joker, right?

4:53 read what mockrock says but pause ot first

@@no-bc4jl what fast character has that nair?

you sometimes rarely get a CPU that acts human. I agree though

Lvl 9 cpus are way better than most online players, aside of their recovery (they suck in that) they’re a tough MU, that frame perfect reaction is no joke

@@wolfdragox5563 I partially agree with this, their reaction/punish game is ridiculous, but they often SD or up b at random times. Depends on the character too, DK is absolutely crazy, but Ice Climbers are pretty stupid

ikr

Link, young link and toon link in a nutshell

Leonardo Ramirez yeah, as a main link who dislikes abusing projectiles i can say this is somewhat true... the difference is Belmonts have way more annoying projectiles. ie: Link can’t rely on his projectiles to win that matchup because all of his lose to Belmonts’.

Thunder Wolf Wyvern I don’t think Belmont’s main strength lye in just spamming projectiles but rather using his whip to control the stage, and the way the opponent maneuvers around the stage.

@@sherperd254 Yes, their core strength is generally being able to attack you from many different distances. But it is okay. Because they have the recovery of a Mac.

Aaand now someone needs to make a video...for the people.... Sure I'll do it.

You surely meant backthrow off the stage?

xolotltolox that one’s broken too but I used the roller because it’s more of a meme

@@wildfiresnap i mean with any character, backtrow a LM off the stage and he has a bad chance if coming back

There's this thing called a "roll".

Its a lot worse if you’re about to hit them but you *run out of ink* it hurts like all hell

Cat and dog

Deserved tbh

Luigi is ultimately the most wack man alive

And I love it

All 'cuz of the added plunger he was given in the direct...

No, Waluigi is the ultimate *WAAAAAAAAAAck*

Luigi is wack because he died in a trailer but is still alive in the game

and then a patch removes that difference to make it valid again

@@beesus1412 and then we found another one

@Francis Tran yeah. The position of daisy's hands makes her hurtbox bigger at the sides

@@ignacioperez5479 Daisy also has a shorter hurtbox compared to Peach, therefore proving that Daisy is sHoRt AnD fAt. Jk

Ryan Wang yeah but she is a QUEEN

Patched?

Yo did she just walk up slowly... and get CLOTHESLINED?!

Thank you for making me do that. 😂

Dylan Norman I never even noticed that the characters run toward Incineroar before he hits them again. That’s actually... kinda strange.

Dylan Norman ‘Yay, Death!’

Dylan Norman lol how you thought about that.

Hmmm... my secondary never been in Smash without being broken.

Brawl

TFW Wobbling

_my_ main has, though. G&W was _so broken_ (and not in a good way) in Melee, it's not even funny he couldn't L-cancel all of his aerial attacks, his full shield didn't cover him at all (at least lightshielding was a thing in that game), his spotdodge had almost half as many intangible frames as vulnerable frames...

Harry Naun mine too! I main olimar #MyCharacterDoesntWorkGang

Remember those Smash 4 videos where Shulk's Monado power was multiplied? This'll be one hell of a sequel.

God-Slaying Sword plays loudly in the background

It just makes you really feel it like shulk

Lam Dang IM REALLY FEELING IT

Thanks man btw he is my friend irl and he said he is going to heart your comment in 30 seconds.

@@greenmustard493 oh shit he did it

I Like ur profile pic

nah they were but they literally all got either patched or nerfed

"You don't have to balance characters if they're all overpowered' *_Insert the one meme of the smart guy_*

@@Heeew yay!!

@@Heeew 10-minute bayonetta combo video.

@@Heeew Also yeah, I wonder why you haven't made that yet. But the fact that someone else did it before you...might be mostly because you haven't made it yet.

@@Heeew yeyyyy

I wouldn't complain if he was broken 😂😂😂

I would, only because he's DLC, else I wouldn't either. I really don't want a $5 to insta-win every match despite several heavy nerfs all over again.

I tested that with a friend a couple days ago and it looks like it got patched.

@@hiygamer Just re-tested and I actually got it backwards, my bad. But it works on 1.2.1.

@@fieldagrass546 Okay. I must have made the same mistake.

It’s the DLCs

Ganondorf still sucks, but everyone else is pretty legit. There's bound to be a few nerfs, but I'm hoping they don't do much aside from tweak some start and end lag frames on a few characters

@@Cyberdragunz I wouldn't say he sucks, and he's far from the worst character now, so I don't know why mention him specifically when there are characters who need balancing more than him.

Gunz77 Gaming Why mention Ganondorf out of all the less good characters?

@@bluerious5475 Indeed. "Everyone else is pretty legit" is flat out wrong statement, since he'd have to be the worst for that to be true.

I love how you use Dota 2 as an example, did you see techies mines get movespeed? xD

el wey del rancho Ramirez This video was posted late 2018, this hadn’t been discovered back then! (There’s also a couple things, like the amount of time that K.Rool & Inkling grounds you, that have been patched out since.)

@@SwedenTheHedgehog and chrom's up b, and luigi's 0-death...

@@pulinnovalente442 Chrom and Ike's Up B while nerfed if done at a certain height can still kill the opponent first. A Luigi still has his 0-to death Up B combo it just has to be done differently.

@@blazefa519 I said nerfed, not destroyed. Have a good day

Kazuya Mishima,WINS!

Me everytime I try to change to the Galactica Knight skin

Because that's obviously not something worthy of being called broken. Infinite assists? Yeah I can see why.

same!

@@NintenJoeGamer oh hey you're here

I don't think he included it just because the video seems to focus on gameplay stuff.

It actually is. If you equip a Spirit that enhances Aura power, his Holy Water does more damage. It doesn''t seem to do more damage the more percentage he has, though.

Wonder why they bothered when they didn't do it for Ike...

Fell God because Ike’s is supposed to be fire

Fell God Ike actually uses fire. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the closest we have to a Fire Emblem character manipulating energy that isn't magic is in Fates with the royal families.

@@generalforster Because it's called Eruption not Auraption. (Heh... Get it?)

*whip it good*

@@breadsticks2202 into shape

ActiveGreen Shape it up

Get straight!

Go forward!

mean, Smash64 is quite balanced as well, with PIka having a couple of near-counters like Falcon and Yoshi, but yeah

Most of the characters have a character that can counter them. Having trouble with Pichu than counter with the Belmonts. Having trouble with the Belmonts than counter with King K Rool or Incenaroar. Having trouble with King K Rool and Incenaroar than use Snake. They all have an answer for them

King K. Rool wants to know your location

@@gypsysprite4824 True, but it also had only 14 characters.

@@Robbie_Haruna Twelve.

Cause nobody gives a shit

It really doesn't

It doesn't at all, like literally not one note even in the slightest lmfao.

Too true!

@@impossiblehanley2732 just stay on him, he can't get resources if you keep attacking

@@minecraftsteve1593 fishing rod, minecart, anvil, etc all keep u away tho

waaaaa

Rip, its been patched

@@rocksox1255 nah, you just failed at it a few times

Pete Albin because she doesn't

The harsh reality is that she IS a clone of peach, she wasn't even meant to exist in super mario land, that was more of a converted fan game where Nintendo forgot to take out the text that said daisy. I'm happy they didn't bury her into obscurity though, and making a different personality helps.

I agree, it's sad that Daisy is just another set of colors for Peach even more so than the other echoes. She's been in so many games to use different properties from too.

Yeah at least Dark Samus has an almost unique animation set, daisy just has a different face and *flower fx*

Daisy never deserved to be in the game SMH 🤦‍♂️, just get rid of her for the love of god🙏

That's Nintendo for you. Always one step forward, and then two steps backwards.

Im so glad someone else pointed out this bullshit, to add on to that why cant i spectate after changing my character? Sometimes people start their matches before you have a chance to move your peg into line or character change so youre forced to no spectate for a few minutes

Adam Pettus I always like a challenge

It's a reasonable complaint. A person's never played Smash before & they're expected to play as characters they hate while fighting ridiculous A.I. that reads their inputs just so they can get the character(s) they paid to use. Also, most of the stuff that doesn't leave Japan is garbage. Same for most of the stuff that does leave Japan.

Lol

@@D_YellowMadness The thing is, a good player can read a lot of basic movements too i dont know how good you are at the game, but after trying hard enough i found it pretty balanced (lvl9 A.I.) I tried it out a few times and they don't even read your inputs all the time like you are claiming, often they do guesses to, like aerial dodges, even tho i didn't even attack them Same for regular attacks, counters etc. they play super quick and know some dirty combos, but that's mostly it, high A.I just plays very good but is still open to counters, grabs and whatever

Zaber Ex You're not wrong... (I DEFINITELY want to see what that video's comment section had to offer though.)

Excuse you! Vegeta went to the fourth stage, he skipped the third one.

Yes, but Daisy and Richter have basically nothing gameplay wise, which is kind of lame

Richter's non-fire property is a moderately big deal in item matches, which have some significant relevance in Japan and in casual play, where 99.9% of players spend their time.

I thought Daisy's side b had a shorter travel distance?

Mr. Pepé I thought daisy’s turnips bounce

@@IntingLuxray Ok, neither Peach or Daisy turnips bounce, but Daisy's do more damage. Edit: ok, I was wrong. Daisy's turnips don't do more damage...

Where is the untruth?

Lol he ain't wrong

I am not butt hurt about his statement I am just stating out the butt hurt 12 year girls screaming in the comment section about how wrong he is. Should or Shouldn't isn't going to change the fact that Sakurai wants to consider those 2 as their own characters and I am not going to waste time to try and change his mind about his own game 🤷‍♂️

@@blitzus5022 Ice Climbers up tilt beside Daisy hits her and pulls her in. Beside Peach, only one of the end hits hit her. Daisy is shorter but wider because of her arms being out.

Jennifer Mabel true some of these characters frame rate are too dumb literally takes no brain cells just keep mashing attacks one of them will go through they need to nerf them or buff slow character frame rate or at least improve the shield and dodge.
