Smashmate, an unofficial website serving Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players, has reportedly ceased operations suddenly. Some players have expressed their reluctance to see it go and are calling on Nintendo to enhance the game's official ranked match functionality.
Some opinions suggest that Nintendo should further improve the online battle environment for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Smashmate previously provided unofficial matchmaking services primarily for players of this title, and its shutdown has once again drawn attention to the game's existing official online features.
The only confirmed information so far concerns Smashmate ceasing operations and players' demands for an official ranked mode. The specific shutdown date, reasons, and affected features still await official clarification.
