What difficulty are you playing?
Play it on easy and have your brother play it with you, co-op makes it better. That way you can still see the cutscenes.
WoL has more nods to Nintendo games, but it drags on for too long and it’s basically just less interesting event matches. Some feel like the same matches, just different characters or different sprits, and it doesn’t feel that good to beat it IMO.
I don't really agree. I always enjoy the spirit battles a whole lot, and I think the level of content was very satisfying. I do think running across what's effectively a board game board is more boring than subspace's platforming, but it has its own charm and its also what allows it to have so much content.
I just find that it could’ve been much shorter, as it’s long and repetitive, so I see no reason to come back to it and do a replay. And sure, it has a good amount of content, but I have no motivation to do so, as it’s basically just event matches but not as fun. Event matches had more than just the battle. Take the Norfair one from Brawl as an example. The goal wasn’t just to defeat the enemy, your goal is to get inside the capsule before you die. Spirit battles were just a regular battle with a gimmick, like the opponent starts with a final smash, or your attacks are reversed, or the enemy’s metal. It just got boring after awhile. I feel like they could’ve done something else to Ultimate than WoL.
