    Best $110 museum ticket ever.

    Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

    Koei Tecmo and Falcom are definitely two companies I would have bet on showing up somewhere in Smash that haven't really at all save for the limited Fatal Frame content that partially belongs to Nintendo. Koei is just so close to Nintendo and Falcom is just such a classic and influential player...

    Byleth was a great addition from a gameplay perspective and I will die on the hill of loving their moveset. I think it was probably a bit tone deaf considering how poorly Corrin went over, but I honestly really appreciate having Byleth here and it's hard to stay upset when Pass 2 was so...

    Well everyone else is taking this time to reflect on their experience with Smash, Smash Ultimate, and SmashBoards itself, so I feel compelled and want to make one last big final post myself. Smash has been a huge part of my life since 2005 when I got a GameCube with Melee, but it's evolved to a...

    Actually, how would you all design a hypothetical Pass 3 (yeah I know I'm doing this as Sora is coming out and speculation is literally over) with the constraints of the game's code for the remaining fighters and stage. You have 4 character slots and 2 stage slots (remember, that last slot gets...

    Well, it's been a fun ride I just wanna say once again. Really looking forward to playing Sora after all this time and then seeing those completed menus. It's a shame we couldn't have gotten another 4 characters to fill out that bottom row, but that's such a minor complaint given Sora is going...

    It's probably because Sega being on board means they have to sell it altogether less they spend a ton of money on licensing for Sega only for everyone to choose the N64 only option and it make Sega angry that they put their games on a service that did nothing for them. But also Nintendo knows...

    I mean, you could just believe accusers when they're putting their literal entire careers in Ubisoft and broader games development on the line to call out his behavior as problematic. Ubisoft was demonstrably shown to be harboring abusers, covering up instances of abuse, and protecting managers...

    It's wild to think of how little room people gave third parties back then even coming off of Smash 4's big cycle is pretty much all I'll say. Almost everyone expected a business as usual Smash even though the Ryu/Cloud/Bayonetta triple punch had just happened, and lots of people still seemed...

    Maybe I should clarify before I get quoted a million times, I'm not upset at the direction they went with Pass 2, just more of how funny Terry's moment is in retrospect when it lit the beacon of hope for so many people as Pass 1 was winding down and then Pass 2 went absolutely bonkers in the...

    I did see someone mentioning how odd Terry was in retrospect and it does really remind me of how Sakurai's "It's more important for the character to be fun than recognizable" couldn't have been further from how Pass 2 handled things even just compared to Pass 1. Like Terry, alongside Joker and...

    If I remember correctly, Simple and Clean is tied up in an absolute legal nightmare that probably just wasn't worth using outside of the main trailer since that would be considerably easier than its full inclusion. They were already moving heaven and earth for Sora to begin with, so something...

    Geno's Bizarre Adventure part 2: Stardust Crusaders (Geno Support Thread #2)

    I mean, the reality is Harada said that the development team at Bandai Namco is going back to Tekken Project after a short break, so there's literally no development team for any future content right now. Smash Ultimate is no longer being worked on by the development team and they are literally...

    At some point you have to be willing to acknowledge that the Geno thread was not all rosy and that at its best points it was still a place of considerable controversy. Like, there are numerous people here and former posters who don't really post anymore that have spoke to not enjoying that...

    King K. Rool as a part of the holy trinity itself was a huge revision of Brawl speculation too. Geno just went out of style at the wrong time and the fans didn't pick back up until they got a bone thrown at them in Smash 4's end, but by then they also had the ballot and bigger plans for the...
