A Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Sequel Shouldn’t Follow One Story Trend in MultiVersus, NASB2

Story mode has always been tricky for fighting games to handle, since the genre’s format is so combat-focused and doesn’t always lend itself to other elements of gameplay that help build a story. Still, fighting game developers have done a lot of storytelling legwork lately. Street Fighter 6‘s custom character campaign lets players interact with the IP’s greats, and crossover games like MultiVersus and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 are building lore to connect separate properties. That means that, although Super Smash Bros. Ultimate had its own campaign mode, the next Smash game is still under a bit of pressure to tell a proper story.
