better than smash thats for d*mn sure
Mediocre game with no good combos, lackluster roaster and terrible player base - Had to absolutely uninstall this absolute trash game, bought it to play with my small brothers, but these ♥♥♥♥♥ keep force updating this garbage pretty much every single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ day, 50mb, 100mb, 500mb, them 89mb right after the 500mb. Go ♥♥♥♥ yourselfs, ♥♥♥♥♥. Worst yet, TRASH platform doesn't allow me to play without installing these retarded, useless updates.

Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.56/day in the week to Aug 4 → 6.71/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

games got the sauce
I've played a majority of the Super Smash games, (OG, melee, brawl, 3ds, ultimate). And I believe this is a better game and it pains me to say that cause I love Smash, and will always. But this game is so polished, the shield mechanic, parrying, movement. I've played Rivals since the 1st one and this is so much better and I could see it have a large competitive scene, (I'm aware there already is one). But I could theoretically see it end up having the majority share in the competitive scene. Smash will always have its place in my heart and the competitive scene.
I cannot believe this game has been out for this long and still has the in game issues it has. Can hardly find a game with out stages bugging out/ going black. Had a game where i could only see the platforms and the characters. the amount of time it takes to set up on online match with a friend is ridiculous in 2026, Ranked connecting you when you have a match, but never actually having an opponent. I constantly hear about how horrible the game is balanced (characters and mechanics), but the real problems are just in the game functioning. Genuinely horrid experience
Is swag!
A great expansion on the mechanics of the original game, filled with fun movesets and characters. I'm also a fan of letting people go back to previous events they missed out on, and it's a shame that more games don't do that.
Única coisa ruim é o preço, recomendo pegar na promoção, jogo de qualidade. Se você gosta ou gostou de smash, brawhalla ou multiversus, vale mt a pena. Precisamos de mais Brasileiros nos servers, comprem!
Bro this game is actually unplayable. I cant think of a single good thing about it.
UPDATE: Dan fixed it. Thanks, Dan. ~~~~~ What up Dan, how it do? I got a little bone to pick with you. Tryna get some games with my crew, But it split it us up - two v two Thought it was a bug but I guess this feature's new? Now I'm here writing this review, And I wish it wasn't true, Cuz I love some Rivals II, But Kailey, Brody, n Stu, Think this change is whack. Change it back. Let us play our 3-man stack. Please, Dan.
