This game has an insane amount of content. EVERY veteran returns alongside some hype newcomers ranging from long standing fan requests like Ridley and King K. Rool, to some out there picks like Sephiroth and Naoki Toudou who I really didn't know I needed in the game until they got included.

Is there still stuff they could have and should have included. Absolutely. This game has over eighty characters and I can still name over eighty characters who would rock in Smash, including uh throws dart Cloud Man from Mega Man 7. I could go on a rant about how Donkey Kong's music lineup SUCKS once you take out Gang-Plank Galleon (a stellar remix, by the way) There could easily have been like, maybe at least five more new stages in base game. There's endless nitpicks I could make, but the massive amount of things here, most of which being handled so well is the reason I and many others clamor for more characters like throws dart Nano Shinonome from Nichijou. The core Smash gameplay is as fun as ever, keeping me coming back all the time. It's really hard not to give it a perfect rating, and regard Ultimate as one of the greatest games ever made.
