It sounds like a bit of a mixed bag - excellent mechanics but hamstrung by a short, simplistic single-player mode which suffers from difficulty spikes, and it sounds like the options for single-player v CPU and local multiplayer are extremely limited. Sounds like the online mode still suffers from lag, too, though obviously reviewers haven't had the opportunity to test it extensively.

So while it's an improvement on Ultra Smash, it sounds like Aces hasn't quite delivered on its promise. Given free DLC characters are coming, I'd hope Camelot and Nintendo tighten up and flesh out the options available to single players (better tournament options, rule changes etc) and to those who want to play local multiplayer.
