Cleans up a lot of the presentation problems with Nick Brawl but takes a fucking nosedive in every other regard. Genuinely feels like shit to move around and fight in. MOBA-esque 2v2 is the focus here so unlike the flexiblity of smash a lot of characters and abilities don't work outside of that specific context, which squanders otherwise creative kit design and cuts into the madcap pick whatever you want energy, all for a game where people hate being team players anyway and act as individuals.

underneath the "mashing toys together" fantasy that's the whole point of these things. It's supposed to be a fun action game starring your favorite characters, not a decent game that's a means to an end for you to be able to say Super Saiyan Shaggy fought Pennywise.
