How I Fixed Smash Ultimate's Classic Mode

I always wanted Diddy's route to reference the boss fights from DKC2 with an ally Diddy using the pink color scheme to reference Dixie

[TheBlazingBronzeBro]

You could've had Lucina fought Marth for the final battle. While he doesn't time travel, I remember Lucina traveling back in time, pretending to be Marth. Just an idea

[mzk]

For Ryu, you can change the final boss to Ganondorf (M. Bison) and if you reach the boss with a high enough intensity, you fight a powered up Ryu (Akuma) instead

[ThethSnake]

Have you ever considered "fixing" spirit battles? Maybe using DLC characters in base roster spirit battles to better represent them.

[memeelfman]

I've got an idea
Wario should have a route base on Wario land and/or WarioWare

[kirbyofthestarsfan]

I think having Metal Ness be the one for the time travel route would have been fun

[ktoon]

I can’t remember if you did this idea, and there’s definitely no way Nintendo would do this but a funny idea for Sora’s classic mode would be him fighting characters that represent different Disney worlds Sora goes to. Some ideas could be fighting Adult Ike on Arena Ferox to represent Hercules and the Olympus coliseum, Male Wii Fit Trainer on Dracula’s castle to represent Jack and Halloween Town, Dark Samus on Shadow Moses Island for Tron, Rosalina and Luma on Summit for Elsa and Frozen, and so on. Alternatively instead of fighting the Disney Heroes it could be you fight Disney Villains or even just heartless. And of course you have to have Duck Hunt as an ally throughout the whole thing.

[DjoingDalton]

Should've had the Mario bros along with tiny version of themselves for the Lucina route. and should've made the Ness Metal as well.

[KingConnor]

Here’s an alternate for Sora, “My friends are my power”. Sora travels to different worlds in smash, teaming up with the heroes of each world against the villains similar to how he does in KH games. The final battle I’ll leave to you but it has the unique gimmick of the allies Sora fought with on the way there randomly appearing for a short time before leaving and being replaced with another ally to help against the boss. Pretty much symbolic how even when his friends are fighting beside him directly, they are still giving him strength.

[kirbyofthestarsfan]

I still feel what feels lacking in Ultimate's Classic Mode is the endless matchups, Melee and even Smash 4 (3DS) were perfect in having variety and replayability. Here with your main you have to pray they gave him a good route or completely lazed out on it (cough, Lucas)

If it had a Random option on Classic it'd have been so much sweeter, keep the best of both worlds

[yoccmwerdna]

I really like these concepts and what you did with them. If I were to change one thing I would have Sephiroth in Lucina’s time travel classic mode because of the HEAVY implications that he went back in time to change his fate in FFVII Remake. I get that there is lots of explaining and context required for that so I get why he wouldn’t be there but it would be cool nonetheless.

[Sean_Bird]

One idea I had for Cloud’s Classic Mode would be an “RPG Icons” route. As Final Fantasy is an extremely notable RPG series, it makes sense to give him a route like this. Plus, his original route is weirdly comical, playing off him having motion sickness, which is an odd thing to reference for a whole route.

This new route goes:

1: Sora on Tortimer Island (For Destiny Island)
2: Joker on Mementos (Representing Persona and SMT as a whole.)
3: Ness and Lucas on Battlefield Onett
4: Marth and Byleth on Colosseum (The first and latest FE characters in Smash Ult.)
5: Shulk and Pyra/Mythra on Cloud Sea of Alrest
6: All four Hero variants as a horde battle on Battlefield Yggdrasil’s Altar
Boss: Sephiroth, with a stronger second phase against him in his shirtless alt. Stage is Northern Cave.

I also want one adjustment towards Dark Samus’s route: I’d replace the battle against Ryu with Ken with a battle where you fight Kirby and Meta Knight with a Black Dedede on Fountain of Dreams, referencing the many times Dedede has gotten possessed. The song in this battle would be 02’s theme to reference Dark Matter.

I suggest this due to the Ken/Ryu fight being in both Dark Samus and Mewtwo’s classic routes. While I don’t mind the two of them having similar routes, the Street Fighter characters are the only repeat for both, so removing them from one route would make them both stronger IMO.

I wonder if you could make any Classic routes that match specific Mii costumes. I know you can’t actually select Miis for Classic mode, but I think it’d be neat to hear your thoughts on what characters’ Classic routes could be if they WERE full fighters.
Some ideas I personally had were:

Geno having the Mario RPG route you originally had with Mario

Chibi-Robo in stages like Living Room and Garden of Hope to match his small size

Shantae potentially fighting characters in the Metroidvania genre, like Samus, Simon, or even more random picks like Wario or a Tails Mii who have also been in Metroidvanias. Potentially ending it with a Blue Daisy and an army of Black K Rools on Pirate Ship, matching Risky Boots and the Tinkerbats.

My personal favourite is one for Knuckles, going through some stages that are similar to stages in Sonic 3 and Knuckles:
Wuhu Island - Fighting Sonic and a Tails Mii as they fly onto Angel Island
Distant Planet - Angel Island Zone itself
Halberd - Flying Battery Zone
Mushroomy Kingdom - Sandopolis Zone, could even fight a bunch of white Kirby’s to mimic the ghost enemies that appear there
Norfair - Lava Reef Zone
Great Cave Offensive - Fighting Sonic in Hidden Palace Zone
And then the final battle would be in Palutena’s Temple against a Giant Metal Sonic, calling back to Knuckles’ fight against Mecha Sonic in Sky Sanctuary.

Just some random thoughts, I think there’s a lot of ideas to be had from the Mii Costumes, just thought I’d throw some of my ideas in there

[TheCreatorF.M.]

For Pyra and Mythra, I think you could swap Steve for a battle against Meta Knight and Corrin. Not enough people talk about Meta Knight's sword, Galaxia, which is also a canonically extraordinarily powerful weapon!

[NindoCentral]

For Mario's route, you could also say the second Bowser fight references the Giant Bowser in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where he was the final boss for that game.

[dieg]

Here’s an idea I would personally like for Kirby. The theme is super star since smash likes it so much. Each round represents one of the sub games. Starting with dedede in boxing ring representing spring breeze (his theme will obviously be playing). Next round is gourmet race but since I already used dedede before it, the battle references his old classic mode route by having Kirby fight 2 other big eaters that may compete in a gourmet race (Yoshi and wario respectively). Only food items will spawn and you’ll start out the battle a little damaged like in the old classic mode. Stage is dreamland 64 with gourmet race 64 playing. Next you fight a giant red falco to reference dybablade, with falco being the dynablade stand in. The fight is on gerudo valley with the Kirby boss medley playing. After that is the great cave in a free for all where you fought opponents that represent each of the great cave bosses (blue K Rool for fatty whale, rob for CV, green greninja for chamelleo arm and dk for wham bam). Don’t worry, the fight is on battle field great cave with obviously the great cave song playing. Next is revenge of meta knight. I don’t think I need to explain what the battle is here. Only other thing of note is that sword items will spawn. Lastly, the round before the boss references the arena. More specifically you fight a hoard(?) of fighters in order, each spawning in once you defeat the previous one like in Terry’s classic mode. The fighters are stand ins for the midbosses from super star (or atleast only the ones who have a spirit battle). The order being blue Yink for poppy bros Sr-> iceys for Mr.Frost-> Pac-Man for chef Kawasaki-> Ridley for Bugzzy-> and Purple DK for bonkers. You will be paired up with a blue ryu as a knuckle Joe stand in referencing the helpers you can spawn in. The battle is on the colosseum stage since it looks like the stage you fight the midbosses in the arena and the song is a battle of friends and bonds. And Marx as the boss fits in even better now as he is the final boss of super star and the boss of milky way wishes, the last important sub game

[jordankodey]

Given the route you made for Lucina, I think it would be really cool if her final fight was against Galliom, as a meta reference to the fact that Galliom comes back in World of Light, which takes place well after the events of Subspace.

[Astra-dx]

Or for Lucina... You can have her fight Robin and when you ko Robin, you fight a Rathalos with id (purpose) playing in the stage you fight Ganon in. Doubles as a Grima reference being the big bad in Awakening and the dlc future past in that game as well.

[WeirdBrain]

Here's my idea for a new Classic mode for Snake. I based each fight off of a boss from MGS1.
1. Fox on Shadow Moses, representing Revolver Ocelot. I think either you could have bombs constantly spawn, or you're given an ally character who you must keep alive or else you fail.
2. Inkling on Shadow Moses (Final Destination). Represents Decoy Octopus. Pokeballs containing Ditto will frequently spawn.
3. Mewtwo on Luigi's Mansion, representing Psycho Mantis. Left and right controls will suddenly reverse.
4. Zero Suit Samus (or Wolf) on Summit (Battlefield Form). Representing Sniper Wolf. ZSS wields the Staff item, filling in the role of her sniper rifle.
5. Giant Falco on Shadow Moses (Battlefield) with Super Scope. Represents Vulcan Raven.
6. Snake on Frigate Orpheon (Hazards off). Represents Liquid Snake. Opponent prefers hand-to-hand attacks.
And keep Galleom as the boss.

[greatdaein]

I think robin’s route could use a change, I’d call it “the darkness within”. It would use characters who at one point or another been corrupted or turned evil in their games.

The fighters would include:
Ryu referencing evil ryu from street fighter
Palutena referencing when she was controlled by the chaos kin in kid Icarus uprising,
Kazuya referencing the Devil gene fight in tekken 2,
Corrin referencing the first time they turned into a dragon and went on a rampage in fire emblem fates (also a nod to their fallen alts in fire emblem heroes).
Luigi, as his time as Mr. L from super paper Mario.
And finally a boss battle against the same gender Robin the player chose with chrom as a partner, referencing the final battle in fire emblem awakening where they team up to take down grima/Robin before it can take over the world.
