Thoughts on Elite Smash?
- It sounds good on paper but in practice it needed to be made better
- A simpler matchmaking system should’ve been included
- Attempts to distinguish between casual and ranked but doesn’t do a good job of it
- The balancing for GSP is bad, making it sometimes easy to get into Elite Smash and other times way to difficult
- Punishes players too hard for losing and rewards very little for winning
- It is a good way of making GSP feel actually important
- Getting a character to Elite Smash forces specific rules upon that character, which not all players will like
- Elite Smash doesn’t mean anything
- GSP is not good at determining player skill
- Doesn’t encourage rematching
- It’s very common to end up with a ruleset that you don’t want to play
