"It's more fun to play Smash alone that together" said no one ever." LOOK SOME OF US DIDN'T HAVE MANY FRIENDS IN HIGH SCHOOL ALRIGHT

So, I've been mispronouncing Melee all this time? It's pronounced *AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!*

AntDude: Let’s not forget what we lost: Home run contest... Nintendo: Okay boys lets bring it back!!

Here is my thoughts on Master Hand Patrick: "And here comes a giant fist!"

I agreed with all critisms with Wii U's classic mode, but that boss fight was EPIC. I have never had my heart beating as fast as when I beat master fortress on the highest difficulty.

WOAH, they’re more then just pngs.... Some could be jpgs

Ganon, Rathalos, Dracula AntDude: *asleep* Marx AntDude: *D U D E*

You know,you can play around with the menu in Brawl too.

You gotta love how Classic mode is handled in Ultimate. Not only do they design it for every individual fighter but the mural is breathtaking when you reach the end. I do hope Target Practices comes back in an update soon though

At long last insect guy has returned with a new video.

R.I.P. Coin Smash Many will remember you... And many people will wonder what you are.

I just love how much detail these people put into Smash Ultimate. It makes my heart soar to see the little nods to the games each character came from. All those details are so intricate it makes my inner fan girl scream. From the alternate costumes fighters can have, to their taunts and attacks, or even the mini things like how a character moves or in some cases die, it’s just beautiful. I hope that maybe I can do something like this some day. It’s such a satisfying feeling to know that there are people out there who care so much about their characters that they will devote as much attention to them as possible. 😍

I love how pissed Luigi looks in the thumbnail

When I was a kid, my uncle told me and my sisters that, in Smash 64, if you beat 1P Game with 1 life on very hard, you'd unlock a Dark Link and Dark Ness. I was disappointed 2 weeks ago.

You say you could think of bosses for everyone, but what about developing them? That’s the hardest thing

Goes play Wii U classic after playing Ultimate Classic. "It isn't that ba- Melee choral "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Thank goodness Ultimate Classic is so freaking good.

I see that Persona 5 screensaver, AntDude.

Smash bros is a beautiful relic

Ok... I understand it. When I was a kid I played with action figures as if they were fighting me, letting me feel apart of the action. I completely understand it, and it makes sense

Ant: "Said nobody ever!" Me: *Pathetically raises hand* Um, actually...

It's true that Shulk fights robots in his base game, but I think the main reason he fights Mega Man at the end of his Classic mode is because Mega Man is, y'know, known for being adaptable? Just like the very concept of Monado Arts, and a good way to cap off a campaign where every fighter represented just one of the Monado attributes.

Oh My God... _Super Smash Bros. was Nintendo's version of Toy Story all along!!!_

“I like the randomness of brawl” And then he proceeds to dislike the 3DS path system

5:17 I like how Master Hands stock emblem is a thumbs up. Like he's just in it for the fun of it.

"Sometimes you just want to play it when you've got nobody else around" Or if you're like me and have no real life friends.

Somehow, I am immune to hating Smash 4's Classic Mode. I will admit the absence of minigames, no proper theming, random Intruders, and only two lives sucked, but I really enjoyed it, especially the Wii U version. Ultimate's Classic Mode, however, appears to be a significant improvement; each character has a dedicated theme and there are much more bosses. I will certainly try out each character's romp once I get the game. Nice work, Ant.

One of my favorite Classic mode stories in Ultimate was probably Cloud’s. It was titled “A ride? No thank you.” And for a while, I was confused until I realized it was referring to how Cloud gets motion sickness and every stage you fight on is a moving stage or vehicle related stage. And I LOVED THAT. It’s incredible to see how much detail these stories have and I love nearly all of them. Kirby’s was also fun too. They start you off with 30% damage and food items spawn for you to eat. The title is “Gourmet Race.” Fitting right?

Most of the time, I play Smash Bros on my own, no Multiplayer. So Classic Mode usually is something pretty important to me. And while I miss individual Break the Target and Board the Platforms for each character, Smash Ultimate's Classic Mode really is my favorite one of them all. Especially after getting the one from Smash for Wii U. That one was the worst.

Kirby and the anime, to smash bros. What's next, Miitopia?

8:48 I thought you were gonna make a New Super Mario Bros. joke...

R.I.P. Coin Smash. You will never be forgotten. *Sheds a tear.*

Can we get a F in the chat for the lost bonus classic mode stages?

The original Smash Bros has my favorite Classic Mode (until Ultimate came around). I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s got something to do with the unique fighters you challenged at the time, whether metal, giant, or hordes. Plus, these bonus stages are my favorite to play, whether target breaking, platform boarding, or finishing races. There is also the fact that you fought on stages you couldn’t play on with friends. And lastly, the announcer was just very good sounding. Really, it’s the simplicity of the Mode that sells it for me.

Weeeeell... A 74 Fighter long complete All-Star mode would have been obnoxious to play I think.

I always thought that getting to fight Master Core was a fun incentive for playing Classic Mode on a higher difficultly. The fact that you had to remember how to get past each faze effectively with only two stocks made it seem like a challenge for only the most intense Smash players. I remember spending HOURS a day trying to beat Master Core/Fortress at 9.0 difficultly with Ganondorf. It was so difficult, but it felt so good when I finally did it.

I think Classic Mode on Ultimate is amazing too. It's probably the best than it ever was since its past!

Classic mode sure is classic

Thank you, AntDude Very cool

I actually prefer to play single player...because I am pure garbage at the game

“[...] The pure face of fear and destruction itself, Marx? Hell yeah dude.” -AntDude, 2019

Classic modes Ranked (IMO): 1.-Ultimate 2.-Melee 3.-Brawl (Those loading times were awful) 4.- 64 5.- 3DS 6.- WII U

You can’t hide that little all might funko in the background from me

subspace emissary is what makes brawl my fav smash game also how in the hell did you make this video without mentioning it

Oh, yes. My favorite Smash bros. game. Super Smash Bros. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

I like to think that the kid who is master hand just imagines that he is the all powerful boss and no one can stop him/her expect that character.

Pirahna Plant is the best Smash player Fight me.

3:56 The toys are trying to get back to the real world (Smash Direct November 11th)

R.I.P. Coin smash You. Will be missed...

You could also mess with the menus in Brawl as well if you use a classic controller lmao

Classic Mode in Smash Bros is pretty neat, but not many people talk about it

I can't tell you how many times I've played ultimate's classic mode and ended on a 9.8 AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE STUPID CENTURY SMASH KEN CHALLENGE! THAT THING WILL HAUNT MY NIGHTMARES

I’ma just say it, I like spirits more than trophies. Yeah I get spirits aren’t as appealing to look at as trophies, but at least they actually serve a purpose. I like how spirits are used to help you out in battle, it’s able to create a bunch of wacky possibilities. With trophies all you do is collect and stare at them for a couple of minutes, not very fun to me.

I see that persona 5 desktop ant. Are you gonna review persona 5 anytime soon? I’d love to see to what you think of the game!

Weird, I was watching an AntDude video when I saw this.

-Wii Fit Trainer's Classic Mode is about getting fat asses into shape. -Lucario has all characters with the ability to Counter as one of their moves. -Bayonetta ends with you fighting an army of Pits and a giant Palutena (Jubileus). -Mewtwo has you fighting all the clone characters, ending in a 4v4 battles against Pikachiu (which really should have been a tiny Mewtwo to represent Mew).

*uses inkling for classic* *final boss Is marx* I THOUGHT IT WAS DJ OCTAVIO

I love mega man's route. Also sonic's is cool because you fight enemies representing characters from his games

Intrude :*insults Wii u smash* Me:*visibly fricked*

4:18 i died of laughter

8:50/17:37 Love the subtle jab at the New Super Mario Bros series and the reference to his video on the topic.

Love your content. Keep it up!

But. WHAT IF MASTER HAND AND CRAZY HAND ARE TWO DIFFERENT CHILDREN?!

So happy to see you back, AntDude. Loved the passion in this video.

I'm so happy that Ultimate has bespoke Classic Modes for each character. The older I get, the harder it is to play Smash with people in person, so the solo offerings have become more and more important to me.

Ultimate’s Classic Mode is fine as it is, plenty of “Oh yeah cause that makes sense”(NON-sarcastically) moments. I don’t think it’s the best classic mode we’ve ever gotten but I’ll still play through it just the same. I really wish they could give a short description on each of the main fighter spirits though, that was kinda lazy how they say you got it and then you just can’t do anything with it afterwards.

You can mess around with Brawl's menu, too.

I love all of smash, even the things almost everybody hates (like brawl and smash tour), so it's nice to see someone appreciating the things i'm forced to appreciate because i have no friends. Great vid as always, and have a nice day (also i have your yeth shirt and i love it)

2:08 Luigi isn't tired, he's supposed to look worried.

If it makes you feel better we now have home run contest and stage builder

Wait a minute Enhance Do you see that? It’s Persona 5 on his desktop! I wonder why... hmm........

3:36 my theory is that he's using the toys like they're in a video game (which they are) and he just got the really cool idea of using his hand as the epic final boss.

Video was very funny and informative, subscribed!

*WOW! INCREDIBLE!!*

I doubt youll see this comment, though theres a couple theories that the games are about Sakurai himself, the first game about him being a child, the 2nd becoming older, yet still has dreams, the 3rd where he's a adult and society is trying to have him give up his dreams and "grow up", the 4th is about how he feels things are oit of control and it is destroying himself (or something like that), master core is a sort of rage that has been built up, yet at the end, they just kind of give up, not really putting up a fight, and the 5th, well, it has something there, though its hard to decide what Now Master Hand is supposed to be about order and creation, while Crazy Hand is chaos and destruction Probably one of the better places to understand more deeply is MatPat at Game Theory, he does a much better explaining these details

I haven’t played many of the Ultimate classic modes but I like how Pit’s is a retelling of Kid Icarus: Uprising

Ive been watching some old vids of you and this intro is so much better

I'm glad smash ultimate doesn't have that random harder cpu just drop in classic mode. Screw that match were I had to fight both Giant Charizard and Giant metal Ganondorf in SSB4 Wii U.

Sonic should’ve had a Death Egg Robot...

I remember loving all star mode in brawl because it gave you a final smash trophy

That last bit had me cracking up hard. Nice one Antdude

Ultimate's Classic modes are about 10 times better than World of Light. Also if you always go for the rest KO in Jigglypuff's Classic mode it's so satisfying.

I'm pretty sure crazy hand is the child's little brother.

Solid video. Thank you for it. You don't know how pleased I am about how you brought attention to something that I feel is generally overlooked in Smash critiques. Yeah, I'm primarily a single player, uh, player, so this kind of content is important to me. Yeah, my opinion on Ultimate's classic mode is pretty much the same. Love how each character gets there own themed campaign, the way difficulty done is delightful. It is a shame that too many of them end with battles against the hands and that platforming stage does get old real quick, but otherwise- it is solid. On a side note-- Kinda unfortunate about the omissions though- absesnce of mini-games, stage builder, boss rush mode, and most offensively, as you said, a good and proper all star mode.

13:23 you forgot that he brats up diddy kong and then forces him to join him on his quest

16:57 it’s back lmao

8:55 no i was thinking of new super mario bros

Master hand fight in 64:The mom making the child clean his room

I agree so much right now. Great video.

Rest In Peace smash tour. Oh wait that's a typo.

Glad I'm not the only one that was disappointed in the Wii U version due to bad classic mode!

4:15 Ah, yes, Super Smash Bros. AHHH, my favorite Super Smash Bros. game.

Home run contest eventually came back though, so yeah.

The lore expands even further.

I... I liked Smash Wii U's Classic Mode... The topic of "Classic Mode" not being consistent despite the name suggesting it would is something I've had issues with, and I'd actually say Smash Ultimate's is the biggest offender. Since Melee, the opponents faced had some random element, and if there was a pattern, it didn't necessarily grow old (aside from the Donkey Kong and Yoshi battles in Brawl). Ultimate goes back to having the stages be in a linear order, which was the case in Smash 64's Classic Mode, but with the themed progression of stages it honestly has more in common with Melee's Adventure Mode and would have preferred it to be referred to as that and keep the standard Classic Mode format of random battles ending with a Master Hand fight from the previous games as an option, especially since YOU CAN'T USE MIIS IN CLASSIC MODE IN ULTIMATE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. They could have made a set of battles about characters that are player avatars - like Villager, Inkling, Robin, Corrin, or perhaps battles with Mii Fighters in certain costumes and different movesets, but instead they exclude characters in their roster from certain modes...

I too can think of a bunch of bosses for the other Characters Some notable examples that come to mind are Perfect Chaos or Death Egg Robot = Sonic DJ Octavio = Inkling Rayquaza or maybe a different Legendary = Any of the Pokemon Fighters Sephiroth = Cloud Metal Gear Rex = Snake Medusa = Pit/Dark Pit/Palutena Mother Brain (Super Metroid) = Samus/Dark Samus/Ridley Porky = Ness/Lucas M.Bison = Ryu/Ken I think they could be Interesting Bosses for Smash, But I know that there would be a lot of extra work, programing, and licensing issues. How cool would some of these be?

Personal Ranking: 6- Wii u 5- melee (plz don’t kill me) 4- 64 (pure nostalgia) 3- Brawl 2- 3ds (really good imo) 1- ultimate

I play Smash Brothers mostly by myself, said me.

0:33 Me: is that persona 5.... now do persona 5! Jk I love your work dude keep it up

3:30 Nah, I think it's more like when you're playing with your toys and you literally pretend your hand is alive and your toys have to fight it. Anyone else?

Wii U's Classic mode was a freaking masterpiece compared to the dumpster fire that is Smash Tour.... I'm also in full agreement on the bosses....so much potential and yet so many Master Hand fights that may or may not include Crazy Hand. I was so hoping for Ness & Lucas to end on Porky, Samus to end on a Queen Metroid or transformed Mother Brain, Luigi to end on King Boo.....hell, I was hoping for Daisy's final boss to be a surprise bit of revenge as she battles Tatanga. Marx is by far the best of the Nintendo bosses....and I wish Konami had doubled down on bosses with Dracula joined by freaking Metal Gear Rex :/
