Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has earned critical acclaim and some fantastic sales since its launch around the world last Friday – but also criticism for its scrappy online multiplayer modes.
Criticism has centred around two points in particular.
First, the general lag which can crop up when playing any of the game’s online modes. The Smash Bros. series has consistently faced problems with this when playing online – but this isn’t the Wii era anymore. As a fighting game, any lag at all can kill the experience and ruin any sense of fairness when playing competitively. And sometimes, seemingly for no reason, the game chugs down to a near-total stop.
