Smash Ultimate: The Gamer News Team Picks Their Favorite Fighters

The Gamer's news team has been hard at work this past week, grinding out character unlocks in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Smash Bros. Ultimate and pounding popular video game mascots into a pulp along the way. Each of us has our♚ favorite fightersဣ, our mains, and today we decided to write up a bit about each of them. Some of what follows are love letters; in fact, pretty much all of them are.

If you think we're all completely💟 misguided about our favorite characters, then please don't hesitate to not comment whatsoever, we don't need that kind of negativity in our lives, thank you very much.

Raphael Bennett - Lead Editor - Super Mario

There’s something about th😼at moment when Mario’s feet lift-off the ground in Smash Bros. Ultimate. It looks and sounds just like the plucky plumﷺber’s signature ascent, but it’s not him — trust us.

The version of Super Mario locked inside Superꦿ Smash Bros. is actually a grav𝔉ity-defying anime-boi who could go toe-to-toe with history’s floatiest heroes.

And who doesn’t want a w𓆉hirlwind fighter disguised as a scoop 🌜of vanilla?

Meghan Overbury - Senior Editor - Dark Pit

People have long complained that ꦰDark Pit/Pit are annoying characters to play against. They're not wrong. Not only does he have extremely powerful attacks and combos, but he can literally fly away from all his problems. There's an attack coming? Just fly away. Knocked off the platform? No problem. He can take opponents down easily and looks great doing it.

Plus, his look has an ~emo vibe, and I just can't say no to that.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Scott Baird - Writer - Duck Hunt

Duck Hunt is the best Smash Bros. character because he is the original troll of gaming. The dog was mocking people back in 1984, and he continues to do so in Smash Bros. to 𒆙this day.

Duck Hunt has a se💟lecti🥀on of unorthodox special moves and almost no one plays him at a competitive level, which means that many players have found themselves faltering against the can, the clay pigeon, and the cowboy.

There is nothing worse than 💙choosing a cool character like Cloud and watching him lose to a cartoon dog and a friendly duck.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sergio Solorzano - Writer - Robin

There's a meme in the Smash fandom that calls al🔯l Fire Emblem characters "Marths" simply because most of them have similar moves. Robin, however, is no Marth.

Boasting magic and sword𝐆smanship, Robin is adept at both close and long range, unlike the Marths. Robin's unique approach to special moves, one that requires strategic resource-managem൩ent on the player's part, also embodies the spirit of Fire Emblem better than any other smasher. He might not counter, but he can tip the scales.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sam Watanuki - Writer - Sheik

They say, “The best offense is a good defense.” But who needs a defensꦫe when you have an arsenal of weapons and combos at your disposalꦉ?

Sheik’s grenades help to keep enemies at bay, while her quick movements and comb♑inations – if performed properly – effectively take down opponents without allowing them too much breathing room. Link who?

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Daniel Alvarez - Writer - Pac-Man

Who doesn'🧜t love Pac-Man? He is the original video game character, aꦓ family man, and a hero.

In Smash Bros., he has a unique moveset, complet🦩e with a hydrant and Galaga grab. This character also has a great arsenal of killer fruit. Most importantly, he fights with the biggest smile in the game.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Chris Littlechild - Writer - Wario

Wario has always been an unconventional, toilet-humor-loving, WAH WAH WAH kind of guy. He brings that no🦂ble spirit with him into Smash Bros., and it’s 100% present and correct in U🐷ltimate.

Smash’s take on the character combines elements of both of Wario’s major franchises, Wario Land and WarioWare,🍨 to great effect. This means that he can both run you down on his bike and fart you r𓄧ight out of the arena. What an eligible bachelor.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Patrick Sklar - News Overlord - Bowser

Bowser burns, bites, and suplex🅰es his way to victory, and shreds out an electric guitar riff on the "Level Complete" theme just to make sure everyone knows: this is King Koopa we're talking🐲 about, and whatever he doesn't have, he takes and makes his own. That super armor when he drop-kicks you off-screen doesn't hurt, either.

All Bowser needs is a dedi🌳cated stage - not some temporary stage morph in midst of the Paper Mario level. We wa✤nt lava, turrets, Thwomps and Whomps.

And that's it! Again, if you disagr🦩ee with any o🃏f our choices above, please go walk off the stage.
