Only provides info for characters and NOTHING else.

11 December 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Yes, this guide has in depth info on every character, but that's it. The Adventure mode could use an entire guide in itself and yet, they cover it in 2 pages and that's just a map of it and minor spirit teams info. No actual info. No unlocking info or anything. Most useless guide I have ever bought.

NOT A COMPLETE GUIDE

13 December 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The book is beautifully constructed and all of the information on the entire roster of fighters is perfect. The issue though is that’s literally all that it covers. Sure there’s stage descriptions and item descriptions, but there’s nothing on Spirits and nothing on Adventure mode. Because of that, this isn’t a complete guide at all, it’s completely false advertising, pretty pissed off about that.

The Most Lackluster, Thrown-Together Strategy Guide

14 December 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Without hesitation, I ordered this book when it was first announced, maybe back in August or September. I was wow'ed with the Zelda: BotW strategy guide, as well as the Making a Champion book, so knew this would be a winner. I assumed. Assumptions just get one in trouble, though, don't they?

For a DK book, it makes me pretty sad to see how things were laid out. It goes somewhat in-depth about the mechanics of the game the first few pages, but then as soon as that's over, BAM, into the characters; which is fine! But how they cover the characters leaves MUCH to be desired. The book shows each move of the characters, some damage stats and notes about the moves. But it's the kind of thing where if you're playing the game, you'll realize whatever it is they're saying naturally. Nothing illuminating. For example, for most Up Special attacks, the book will mention how powerful they are, but then how vulnerable it leaves the character afterwards. Duh. There's no suggested combos, either. Just facts on all the moves. Which, again, is something you can figure out by playing the game for about three minutes.

For a game with SO many different characters across a host of different games, they inexplicably don't have some sort of bio about each character, what game they came from, first appearance, initial backstory, NOTHING. It's just a few dense paragraphs about the character's fighting style, which isn't, again, too revealing. Oh, the big guy is slow? Word, word. Oh the small guy is fast? Nice, nice. It's so basic.

The characters are listed, thankfully, in alphabetical order. The same can't be said for the Items and Stages. They're just randomly thrown in the back of the book, with zero order. It's frustrating. No real consistent info about the origin of the stages, as well. Some commentary is straight-up lazy! For "Jungle Japes", the two sentences read: "The river below the stage flows quickly, so don't fall in! Try to knock foes into it instead!" Gee willikers! Is that what I should do?! Such good advice!

No info on the Spirits, just a super jammed-pack chart for suggested combo of Spirits and that's about it. This book is a disappointment. It seems rushed. And that information is purposefully left out so Nintendo can make another book detailing the making of the game. Avoid this book. You get more useful tips from random Youtube videos.

Ultimate companion for the ultimate Smash Bros.

What a wonderful send-off guide for Prima. It's clear how much love and care went into crafting this strategy guide, covering all aspects of every character and mode. The writers are very knowledgeable of the competitive aspect of Smash and explain in great detail how to pull off pro mechanics and maneuvers. Just a reminder that this guide is mainly centered around the fighters; while it does include explanations for all the modes and optimal routes and spirit teams through World of Light, you might want to check out a Wiki guide like IGN for boss strategies and Classic Mode character unlocks.

This is not a strategy guide, nor is it really a collector's edition

27 December 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

First, please understand I have eagerly looked forward to this Super Smash Bros Official collector's guide. And although there are plenty of stats on each character, there is no walkthrough or anything for the World of Light adventure mode, or the Spirits system, or gameplay details that one would expect in a strategy guide.

Instead, I would call this pretty much a basic "Pokedex", with some added lists for items etc. Other than the nice hardcover, I don't find the collector's edition content I expected. ( even my Ultra Sun and Moon pokedex guide had pages of creator's behind the scenes interviews) But I can't figure out how this is a collector's guide as there are just lists of characters and nothing in the way of making it enhanced, unique or collectable. For comparison, even without any exclusive interviews, I was expecting it to be more like the Super Mario Odyssey collector's edition strategy guide.

If you are an advanced pro type Smash player who just wants endless stats, then this is the "dex" for you. But if you love strategy guides, and buy the collector's editions for the enhanced content, this won't really hit that mark.
For the first time in all my history of collecting strategy guides ( I have over 25+ guides), I returned this one. Definitely for this Strat collector a sad day, that's just to show how very little this had to offer for me.
