  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ม.ค. 2022
  • Super Smash bros ultimate has a ton of extra modes outside of the main battles like spirits, home run contest, and so on, but my favorite BY FAR is classic mode, I even speedrun it. Smash Ultimate's classic mode is the best of the entire Smash series, as this time around each character gets their own unique route. With smash ultimate’s final dlc releasing, I’ve decided to rank all 83 classic modes based on how fun they are and how unique they are, not on how hard it is to get 9.9. This will come down a lot to boss fights, as smash ultimate has several bosses, but doesn’t use them to their fullest most of the time. So join me as I rank all smash ultimate classic mode routes from the worst to the best.

      While the theme does work well for them, if they wanted a more unique route, they could've gone with fighters with legendary weapons. It would've mostly been swordfighters overlapping a lot with Roy's, but you could probably argue for some other inclusions. It's not Smash's fault that most legendary weapons tend to be swords.

      @@pulim-v I'm not very familiar with Splatoon, so I don't know how well known the weapons they use are in-universe or how important they are too the story. The triforce is debatably a weapon, but if it was, then you'd have to include Ganondorf. I did consider Mewtwo, and Samus's power suit and arm cannon can definitely work. I didn't consider the Belmonts, but the Vampire Killer would also fit.
      After a quick look at the Power Suit (which was indeed capitalized), it's pretty much perfect given that it's also tightly bound to Samus herself and she can materialize and dematerialize it not unlike a Blade Weapon. The Vampire Killer seems to possess a soul of its own, which automatically qualifies it for this theme.

    I can explain Ness’s classic mode a little bit as I’ve played Earthbound. He’s basically going backwards from location to location to get back where he started in Onett. One of the last places you go in Earthbound is magicant and you likely fight Ness here to represent how he had to confront and defeat the evil inside of him. Next is New Pork City with Lucas, I literally have no idea. I don’t think this is really based on anything from Earthbound. I have an idea for a replacement though. Delfino Plaza with a giant green Ridley fight to represent Summers and the Kraken boss fight. Next is Fourside with three robs. This on is fairly self-explanatory as Fourside is a location in Earthbound and then the robs represent the robot enemies you would fight inside the buildings. Next is Luigi’s mansion with some dark toon links. This represents Threed as it’s a dark and gloomy place, there are also zombies as enemies which are represented by the tinks. Finally there is Onett with you fighting Isabelle and Villager. These just represent enemies that you fight in onett those being the runaway dog then the different human enemies. Then master and crazy hand don’t have anything to do with anything :/ If I were able to change things I would change the onett one to smashville to represent the happy happy village and then for you to fight 3 default blue inklings to represent the happy happyism cult as they are obsessed with the color blue and painting things blue. Then with the inklings there would also be a Lucas in his duster alt using pretty much only pk thunder to attack to represent Mr. Carpainter, the leader of this cult. Franklin badges will also spawn for you to equip to represent how Ness was able to beat Mr. Carpainter by reflecting the lighting with his franklin badge. Then the final boss would still be the hands on the omega form of onett as there wasn’t really a big boss at onett. The main bosses were the 5 police officers and Frank and his robot thingy but rob is already represented then idk if who to put for the 5 officers lol. But the 5 officers is a better idea than the hands but it would probably be better as a stage along the way but onett is the final place so I decided not to use it. Anyways sorry for the essay but hopefully I explained it alright enough for you to understand a little better. I would replace New Pork City with Lucas with Delfino Plaza and a giant green Ridley then I would replace Onett with Isabelle and Villager with Smashville with 3 blue inklings and a blue Lucas using pk thunder. (lots of withs) Finally like you said, I would replace the Fd with omega Onett for the hands.

      @dicksonmattxenoblade6491 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I feel a way you could represent Frank and Frankystein Mk II (his robot) would likely be something like a Red Toon Link to represent Frank, then maybe Galleom to represent Frankystein. Yeah it’s way bigger than the robot probably is but I think this can work fine as well. Though personally I’d still be fine with the hands as though to my knowledge you don’t fight a pair of hands in Earthbound, you could tell me that you do in other games in the series and I would believe it.

    • @pkcryo
      @pkcryo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Corrin's Classic Mode route is an abstract reference to Fire Emblem Fates as a whole. Corrin is the child of Queen Mikoto of Hoshido, a nation associated with light, the sun, and the color white. However, he/she was captured by King Garon of Nohr, a nation associated with darkness, the moon, and the color black, and was raised as a member of the Nohrian royal family.
    Eventually, war breaks out between the nations, and you have the option to play through the story of Birthright (in which Corrin sides with Hoshido), Conquest (in which Corrin sides with Nohr), or if you value content consumption over actual good use for money, you can buy the Revelation storyline (in which Corrin tries to make peace by *fighting both Hoshido and Nohr at once)* as DLC.
    So basically Corrin fighting black and white characters is a reference to Revelation and the overall conflict of Fates. What's the opposing Corrin about? The other timelines, I guess.

    • @rontheauraknight9606
      @rontheauraknight9606 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      It’s cause on the boxart for fates they always made sure to keep it so male Corrin represents Hoshido and Female Corrin represents Nohr. That’s which side the two are on the boxart. When Cipher existed Male Corrin only got Hoshido and Hoshido noble classes and female got Nohrian and Nohr classes. Their Kanas respectively also got the same treatment. And lastly in heroes they still are treated like that, so in that case your actually fighting the black or white side as the opposing side.

    Using Mewtwo in Ness's run wouldn't make sense, but I can see why there was confusion.
    Ness never saw that iteration of Giygas. That form of Giygas was defeated a beforehand by Ninten, who happens to look nearly identical to Ness. That took place in EarthBound Beginnings, or Mother 1. Mother 2 is what Ness is from..

    • @snuffysam
      @snuffysam 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Fighting Mewtwo with a permanent Ashley assist would be perfect IMO.
      Ashley represents the “incomprehensible” screen-covering eldritch attacks well, and while Giygas’s normal body obv wasn’t fought in Earthbound there’s no other fighter who better represents him.

    For thoes unfamiliar with Earthbound Ness' route is really awesome with the references. For the Lucas in New Pork city, I assumed Ness was knocked out (Thus the Magicant fight at the beginning as this is in his sub conscious) and taken to Lucas' time (Porkey does kidnap various people and bring them to this time to serve in his amy) where he finds the time machine Porkey used in EB to return to his time. The ROBs in Fourside represent the robots he faces inside the tower you are fighting on. Gerudo Valley is Dusty Dunes Desert between Fourside and Threed Though a koopaling hord would better to reference the traffic jam you see when first getting there. Luigi's Mansion and the Dark Toon Links represent Threed as its overrun with zombies when you first get there, and the only assist trophy here is Jeff since this is where he joins Ness' party. The Villager could be member of the Sharks gang and Isabelle a runaway dog, with the assist trophy being Starman, all enemies fought in Onett. I just wish Porkey had returned as a boss from Brawl as this would be perfect for Ness to finish on

    Honestly, it seems like Mega Man was just treated really well in Smash. Not only is his moveset a culmination of his most famous abilities, but the franchise has the most remixes of any 3rd party (other than SNK I think), his classic mode route is unique from most others while still staying faithful to the source material, the series got two brand new assist trophies (after cutting Elec Man from Smash 4), the series has four mii costume sets (more than any other 3rd party), and he was present in several of the trailers for Smash 4 and Ultimate. Not to mention, his FS is just a big celebration of the massive Mega Man universe. Since Mega Man is my favorite video game franchise, it warms my heart to see the series get the respect it deserves.

      @@parzival-bo Data might be in the game, but these characters are all available piecemeal. Someone could have bought Sora and literally nothing else, which is why DLC characters don't appear in Spirit Battles outside of their respective DLC Spirit Boards. Even some fights which would work better with a DLC character are painfully retained in their base forms after updates, like Jakob from Fire Emblem Fates being Sheik even after Joker came out. Joker is Jakob's Japanese name, and they both use knives. Understandably misses opportunity, since even in this, the year of our lörd 2022, some people don't have Joker.

    Also for Ivysaur in Greninja's route... I mean, not only were Olimar and Dark Samus there, they could've also went for Daisy since she uses flower effects, which are prominent in Grass type moves.

    32:34 Since Palutena's route was based around fighting opponents from game series that have a heavy focus on religion then I think fighting the Hands at the end not only makes sense but perhaps more so than using Dracula or Ganon. The Hands are gods of the Smash series (lesser gods perhaps since they keep getting captured and controlled but gods nonetheless) with Master Hand being the creator entity and Crazy Hand being the destroyer entity. Who better to fight at the end of such a route than gods of the series it takes place in?

    • @angeldude101

      The hands may play the role of dieties, but they don't really have any religious themes or references to real life religions.

      Come to think of it there isn't a single Classic Route that uses Galeem and it clearly isn't because it's new to Ultimate as evidenced by all the other new non-final bosses making appearances. Perhaps this is due to the implication of the story mode that all of the Fighters working together didn't stand as much of a chance against it (it's not like that "army of Master Hand" absorbing annihilation move is spam-able since it was only used that one time) without all of the Spirits aiding them?
      Actually it's more likely they just didn't want to spoil the fight with the creature from the WoL trailer outside the game mode it's from.

    Great video, just like to say you made a few mistakes with Ness’s classic mode. The final boss in Mother 1 is Gigue which is the one who looks like Mewtwo. In Earthbound, the villain is Giygas who looks like a red blob of evil incarnate. Also, the Lucas Ness could be because in Mother 3, which occurs centuries after Earthbound, Ness and his friends are shown in the Movie theater in New Pork City, the stage of where this battle is fought. The references in this mode are actually really good such as the Robs representing robot enemies you fight in Fourside, or the Gerudo Valley fight with shirk representing the desert in between Fourside and Threed.

    His 1st match is based on Sonic 2 since Fox represents Tails(the best character)
    His 2nd match is based on the Sonic racing games but mainly Sonic R with Falcon representing a racer
    His 3rd match is based on Sonic CD with the giant metal Sonic representing Metal Sonic obviously
    His 4th match is based on Sonic Heroes with the 3 Kirbys representing Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails or the Hero team
    His 5th match is based on both Sonic and the Black Knight and Sonic and the Secret Rings with Sheik representing the theme of the 2 games
    His 6th match is based on Sonic Lost World with Incineroar representing the main enemy in the game Zavok
    His boss isnt any reference which sucks because they could've put the metal boss or make a giant Bowser Jr. with a metal Sonic fight since its like Eggman
