I stated before Ultimate's release that I would once again do this, and overall it was of comparable difficulty to doing it in Smash 4. In some ways the AI is better, for example the AI will no longer KO itself on walkoffs outside of a few exceptions, and the AI is generally a lot better at recognizing and avoiding stage hazards, so you won't get stuff like the AI just jumping into Donkey Kong on 75M anymore. However the AI does some other things poorly, such as being overly aggressive, being overly cautious with stage hazards, and still having significant problems with stage navigation. The big difference compared to Smash 4 is that I was able to get so much more stage variety due to the much more expansive stagelist and the AI + air dodge changes making the CPUs more SD-liable in general; in Smash 4 I got victories on 20 unique stages, with 5 of them being walkoffs that exploited the AI's basic walkoff issue while some stages were used several times, whereas in Ultimate I was able to get victories on 58 unique stages, including 1 more unique stage for the finale clip, as well as not using any stage for more than 3 characters. I am extremely pleased I was able to get so much stage variety and avoid having to frequently resort to a same few "trump card" stages, stage variety was a big priority in the Ultimate version to avoid the 75M/Orbital Gate Assault monotony the Smash 4 version had.

As for the DLC characters, Piranha Plant released right when I was editing this video, so I was able to include him, while with the remaining DLC characters I will do them all in separate videos when their respective seasons are finished, like I did for Smash 4, so keep an eye out for that. Additionally note that all these matches were done in version 1.2.1, except for Piranha Plant, whose match was done in his initial release version of 2.0.0.

As for addressing the inevitable "debunk" attempts, I'll do so in a pinned comment instead of filling up the description. For a couple things I'll address here, I accidentally had Luigi as player 1 against Mario, DK, and Link, as I was doing the characters in CSS order and initially forgot about doing the player 2 thing, however the ports don't matter and I only have Luigi as P2 for thematic flare, so I left those matches as is as I liked how they turned out. I additionally accidentally had the final smash meter on against Samus and Dark Samus, however they had no effect on the matches and would have only made me lose anyway if they got their final smash, so I left those matches as is.

For those skeptical of these CPUs being level nine, go view this video, which shows all the replay data for these matches (and accompanying clips), that show they are level nines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOo-h7t0zkk
