Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

Has this been discussed?

Apparently a 4chan leak had been deleted shortly after it was posted, which has some speculating means something.

My counter?
Real leaks on 4chan existed that HAVEN'T been deleted, most notably the one that included Piranha Plant in the Smash Direct for November.
So what would make this one special instead of perhaps the original poster deleting it themselves to make it seem like damage control?
..........Reimu AND Frisk?

I'm calling fake just because I don't want to get my hopes up.

you know you can delete your own threads on 4chan right

"pruned or deleted" applies to both self-destructs and mod destructs

-Luminary
-Steve
-Frisk
-Reimu

Honestly, just seeing Reimu in that lineup is too good to be true for me. We're also looking at a 4chan post, so it means nothing, but I don't think Reimu's chances in particular are entirely unrealistic (she's one of my Most-Wanted characters, after all).

What we actually need is proper patch notes ala Roy/Ryu/Lucas to get any full confirmations.

If you say you can't delete your own posts on 4chan then you've probably either barely been on 4chan or never been on 4chan.

Literally in the FAQ.

I've seen wayyy too many "BUT THE THREAD WAS DELETED!!!11!!!!" posts to trust 4chan "Oh **** the thread was deleted, it means Ninteninjas!"

Never read the 4chan faq, tbh. I just happened to never see it as an option in my memory.

I've been inactive for quite a while, though I lurked a bit in the meanwhile.

Anyway, it seems that some hours ago there was a discussion about Kirby newcomers with Adeleine involved somehow, and I wasn't here :088:

I feel like any Kirby newcomer is unlikely right now, but part of me still hopes that the missing spirits of Adeleine and Ribbon mean something for DLCs.
She would have a gimmicky gameplay based on traps and ranged attacks similar to Villager, and her moveset would be full of references of popular enemies from the Kirby series.

Though, I think Sakurai is pushing for Marx... not in this game, maybe in the next one. He put him as a boss so he can get more popularity, and then...
I dunno, maybe it's just me.
He even gave him new moves with the same creepy factor as 0 and 0^2; insane eyes and those branches-things made of nerves or something; it seems like an attempt to give to Marx those traits that the Dark Matters are praised for.

This said, I recently started to play as Villager a bit more seriously (still Smash 4). I never played as him in the past, I never cared... though, some days ago, I decided to try him, to try to understand the timing and the strategies... well, I'm not a pro but I learned a lot. I love to trick the enemy into a growing tree XD Only played him against Lv9 CPUs at the moment though.... some are very easy to defeat, some others like Doctor Mario gave me a lot of problems.
Kirby may be weaker but it can easily adapt to almost any opponent (maybe Villager too, it's just that I'm not good enough with him yet).

Are you responding to me or the video?
Because I clearly brought up the possibility the original poster could have easily deleted it themselves.



That being said...it wasn't actually deleted.
I checked.
It was archived, which Blocked Content doesn't seem to understand how it works.

Bear in mind that there was a 4chan post that claimed the last reveals were going to be Incineroar, Ken, and Piranha Plant that was completely ignored until after November's Direct.

So 4chan posts don't mean "nothing". There's always that nugget of gold somewhere buried in that pile of cow pie. :V

Honestly, as much as I love Undertale, I don't think a character, let alone Frisk, would be put in the game for a few reasons.
1) It would be hard to implement the main hook of Undertale, being that the game can be completed by being a complete pacifist.
2) Frisk by name alone would be a spoiler for the game.
3) Though I bet Toby Fox loves Smash Bros, considering his love of EarthBound and referencing Smash Bros almost by name, I don't think he'd want a character in the game..Spirits or a Level maybe, but I don't think he'd want a character for the first reason, personally.

The point of MGS is stealth and usually finding non-lethal methods of dispatching enemies if possible.

In Smash, Snake is a goddamn Demoman.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got Sans & Papyrus over Frisk, as they seem to be the main popular characters and are even used for marketing stuffs, being used as the game's faces alongside other side-characters sometimes (aside from Anime Cat Girl for the Switch version).

Heh, Undertale's trailer theme is an extended version of Bonetrousle.

Porky is a spoiler for Mother 3, and Smash is like a sporting event for living toys, not a genocidal psychopath causing havoc.

Counterpoint. Cloud over Noctis/Lightning in Smash 4 DLC
Counterpoint.

Cloud was the most voted FF character on the Ballot, which is why he was specifically chosen.

Also Noctis' game hadn't been yet RELEASED.

I'd argue that the ballot is irrelevant at this point. Either way, No. I doubt that Cloud was chosen because of the ballot. I don't think any of Smash 4's DLC characters were chosen as a result of the ballot to begin with

Oh, you're on the "Sakurai was bull****ting us" camp.

I'm not continuing this then.

It's hard to think otherwise when we know that the dlc files were put in like, 1-2 weeks after the ballot was announced, to be frank.


I don't think the ballot was anything more than to be a gauge for this game myself.

Bull****ting isn't the word I would use. I think the truth was bent. Cloud likely was the most voted FF character on the Ballot, but that's not why he was chosen for DLC. I also think Bayonetta did 'well' on the ballot. I just don't think she hits top in Europe/Top 5 in the US without major exclusions which they admitted happened.

Sakurai the Liar said:
Sakurai: This isn’t an exact number, but among the requests for a Final Fantasy character to appear in Smash, around ¼ to ⅓ of the requests we got from fans were for Cloud. [TN1] I really wanted to answer the desires of those fans, and even though I thought it would be impossible, I reached out anyway, just to try.
