So I first loaded this game with my cousin with me, which makes the experience for this game a bit more special to me since I don't always start games with other people. It took me some time to figure out the way around this game, but I think the menu is a lot more intuitive compared to Smash 4, which is a good start. My go-to character is basically Mario because he's the character I am the most familiar with, so picking him is far more natural to me.
The first character I unlocked is Sonic, and I don't know if this is common. Anyway, sometimes I feel like the worst player in the forums because I cannot defeat some of the new fighters after revealing them. Fighters like Bowser, Peach, Ryu, Simon Belmont, Ike or Little Mac necessitate a rematch, and I am not proud because I am sure all of you beaten every new fighter on your first try. Though with that said, a funny thing happened in the Bowser rematch since Nabbit kidnapped Bowser away and I won from that. I wish I could take a video capture, but I am sure you all know by now that Smash is one of those games that disables video capture.
I think the main draw for my cousin an I is the Spirit Board, since they have pretty creative battles, and besides, it's a way to unlock every fighter. We already struggled with 3-star ones (but I am sure it's easy for most of you), although we had some good victories. The Sakura (Street Fighter) spirit was the first one we won, and the latest one we got is the Shantae spirit because a boat carried the opponent out of bounds. Rayman's spirit is too tough for us that we didn't get it in time.
Thank you for reading.
