Ultimate is a 2018 crossover fighting game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Sora Ltd. The longer the streak, the more Prediction Points earned. Instead, as of version 4.0.0, players can "Cheer"/"Support" to win Prediction Points which can be spent on Spirits, snacks, Spirit Board items, Classic Mode Tickets, Gold, and Spirit Points.įor each accurate prediction, the player earns Prediction Points.
Unlike in previous games, players no longer bet coins on players or teams. Spectator Mode returns in Super Smash Bros. In four-player matches, should the chosen character come second, called a "Near-Win," then the spectator will be rewarded with an automatic and much smaller "Nice!" payout.īonus Chances also return, awarding extra gold, trophies, and other rewards, though only in the case of a "Jackpot" outcome.Īs a result of new bet multipliers and "Near-Win" payouts, betting is much more profitable in SSB4 compared to Brawl, due to an almost guaranteed long-term payout, assuming a good betting strategy is used. However, after the third consecutive win, the winnings are automatically paid out (which may result in the unlikely, but achievable 100,000G theoretical cap). This obviously results in a much larger potential for payouts.
Afterwards, the player is given the option to go for a "Winning Streak" - betting with winnings from the previous game instead.
Should the chosen player win the bet, they will receive the Jackpot, which is their wager multiplied by the winning combatant's multiplier. Prior to the match starting, spectators may optionally bet up to 100 coins (shortened to "G") on possible winning players or teams. The multiplier is lower for those with higher win percentages and higher for those with lower win percentages. A multiplier between 2 and 10 is calculated (displayed rounded to 1 decimal point) based on this win percentage (or a combination of two in Team Battles). The Nintendo Network ID of the players is displayed, alongside the character used, and their win percentage.
Occasionally, spectators were offered a "Bonus Chance". For very small bets however, the value is rounded up, giving a neutral payout overall. However, should their bet be correct, the player would win the "Jackpot," which is their original bet multiplied by a multiplier contingent on the number of players in the match:Īssuming the player has no information about the match and so bets at random, the spectator will statistically lose coins in the long run. Players would receive stickers regardless of if they won or lost the bet. Once the match starts, the coins are immediately deducted from the players, so no attempts could be made to retrieve them if the bet was lost. When viewing a match, only the characters used and stage was shown, with the names being omitted.īefore the match started, players could optionally bet up to 100 coins on possible winning players or teams. Spectator Mode was available within the With Anyone sub-menu.
