lol @ "Pot Plant".

Imagine if it was another Mario mook. They'd be talking about Evil Mushroom or Walking Turtle because apparently the names of Mario enemies is really obscure knowledge.

I'm not a Smash fan but I can't ignore this one, it's so full of content, it's like a virtual museu of videogame with tons of characters.
But I'm not following the news, this is what I know so far. Someone knows how many spirits was included in the game?

72 characters
55 Pokémon
59 Assist trophies
103 stages
+800 music
?? Spirits
?? game modes
Around 1200 spirits :)
Something like 1240 to be more precise, I think.

I've "main'd" Random since SSB64, and as the roster expands it's the only way to experience everyone. My go to has been Link since then too, but I'm not feeling his BotW inspired changes so I might need to switch him out for Toon/Young Link depending on how he plays (though I generally prefer heavier characters so I've never liked them as much as the OG).

I've held back on the ol' post your roster thing since you never really know until you actually play them.
If I had one for before the release of Smash 3DS/WiiU it would've had Palutena and Bowser Jr on it, how tragic

That Piranha Plant speed has to be a placeholder. That'd almost be the slowest character in Smash Bros history and it wasn't even close to that slow in the footage we have.

Like that's so slow, it almost feels like a -speed spirit battle or Shadow or something would cause Piranha Plant's speed to overflow into the negatives and it'd be immobile.

Did y'all actually expect to see so many contents from Konami in #SmashBrosUltimate? I remember those discussion that people were like Konami wouldn't let it happens but here we are! QUITE A LOT OF CONTENTS!

So I asked this a few days back and no one responded, but I would really appreciate an answer:

Do Spirits come with a little description of who they are and where they come from like trophies do?

there was a second update on the blog

Today's Item
Flies & Hand Assist Trophy
Flies buzz around the stage, and a hand holding a fly swatter goes around swatting up a storm. Getting caught in the swat-storm will cause severe damage, so think like a fly and run away!

By which I mean, there was a second update on the Japanese blog because America just didn't post the Mr. Game & Watch update

oh smash blog

The flyswatter is the best assist trophy they ever added

I always wanted in after listening to the Mario Paint medley from Smash 4.

When I first saw that assist trophy I was thrilled :)
I used to play that fly swatting game a ton on Mario Paint and the music is still etched into my brain lol

Is it random or in order of reveal in Smash like the UI?

*Who you fight

I can't really tell. Sometimes it seems like the unlocks are in order, sometimes not. It might be that classic mode clears unlock specific characters and the 10-minutes unlocks are random.

Recruiting a character in WoL is an automatic unlock, as Ned said.

It's in some kind of order, although it's kind of weird and I don't think anyone has gotten the order down, yet.

Huh. Weird (Re: 10 minute unlocks) considering how Sakurai made a big deal about the selection UI for characters and stages being in order. Oh well. So much for me being able to have a Melee character selection screen I can screenshot at one point.

Yeah, every stream I watched kind of seemed like K. Rool unlocked very close to the beginning.

well, you can still do that, it'll just take a little finesse
if you lose to a character, it's removed from the pool and instead goes into Challenger Approach pool. It's a "mode" that appears periodically (probably on the same timer but doesnt seem to overlap?) and let's you get characters you missed.
So you could lose to and ignore the post-melee characters and they'll just wait to show up again in challenger approach.

Some good ol' Ridley footage! It's going to be a minute before people really understand his recovery. Those 4 fixed angles really mess people up.
