Super Smash Bros Ultimate players are upset at \u201ccasual\u201d new tournament mode NintendoThe Super Smash Brothers series has always had the difficult job of catering to a competitive fighting game crowd and those who want a party game experience. The new tournament mode, however, isn\u2019t appealing to hardcore players. On July 30, series creator Masahiro Sakurai revealed the game\u2019s newest fighter, Hero from Dragon Quest, would be available for download. An assortment of other updates are included in the 4.0.0 patch including a tournament mode. \u201cThe rules are preset, but they will change periodically,\u201d the voice-over said in the announcement video. Preset rules are four-player free-for-alls while the competitive ruleset used in the esports scene are 1v1s with three stocks (lives), no items and only a few stages are legal.

Smash: *shows online tournament mode* Me: o shit this is pretty coo- Also Smash: *shows unchangeable 4 person FFA format* Me: Nevermind\u2014 Ambrosio (@ambrosio_mx) July 30, 2019 \u201cImplementing online tournament mode that only runs off preset rules on Nintendos still garbage netplay ok lol,\u201d Whomperss said. \u201cWas almost going to be good. It\u2019s like they don\u2019t know we don\u2019t play anything other than 1v1 no items, battleground\/form. Other than the Nintendo tournament they don\u2019t ever use any other options,\u201d Klarkasaurus wrote. \u201cI honestly wish they made a separate game for all the items and crazy shit and just made smash the traditional fighter that almost everyone else plays (seriously).\u201d \u201cBest case scenario would have been if they made it so you can set the rules. That way casuals can have 4 player ffa\u2019s, and we can have 1v1 no item select stages,\u201d Phonochirp chirped. Most users came to an agreed upon middle ground that allowing for players to pick the ruleset would have been the right decision. Others began theorizing about what the other rulesets will be. Kirocuto commented, \u201cThe preset rules refers to being set before the tournament, so I\u2019m guessing we\u2019ll have like a week of free4alls, then a week of 1v1s on FD, then a week of 1v1s with items\u2026\u201d While Smash Bros does have a large esports community, the ruleset is very grassroots. Nintendo has never implemented a stage ban phase for online play or anything that resembles the series format used at major events like Evo. Hopefully Nintendo listens to these pleas and implements a tournament mode to quench the competitive thirst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
