Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[Deleted member]

Alucard isn't real you dummy, stop tripping

Ah right, you're an Assist

Ib4 Akuma. LMAO, that'd be funny if he got in before Ken.

I doubt it though, when people think of SF, they think of Ryu and Ken, not Ryu and Akuma

Hah, now I get to laugh at your wanted characters not making it.

Jokes on you, I got Ridley and Dark Samus

Says the guy who thinks that the Beast from Beauty and the Beast in Beast form is hot. SMH

He's hotter than his human self, it's a different thing

 

[Deleted member]

I kinda doubt that, considering you thought Castlevania was a TV show instead of a video game series.

WHAT????
I knew what Castlevania was since I was in first grade or maybe when I was younger.
I just got confused there.

 

[Androobie]

I am going to head off to play Realms with my siblings.
I am feeling really good right now.

Ah ****, why did you have to remind me that the Donkey Kong Country TV show existed...

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I need a full gif of Dedede being an absolute troll from K. Rool's reveal trailer. That fake out, Dedede's entire scene was purely amazing.

At least somebody already went and made this into a gif, though:

Spoiler

EDIT: Of course it'd be broken. When is it not, anymore?

 

[Ivander]

It feels so good to be a Castlevania fan today.

Since Brawl, my dear

Sakurai also did Dedede's voice in Kirby 64 as well.

Apparently Chrom is a mix of Roy and Ike? Now I'm even more confused what makes someone an echo.

At the very least, Chrom is majorly a Roy Echo, but his Up-B is Ike's Aether and he has a different Final Smash. But regardless, I'm actually quite curious if Chrom won't be the only one. Could you imagine Shadow as an Echo of Sonic, but rather than Sonic's Spring, he has Mewtwo's Up-B for his Up-B as "Chaos Control"?

1). KKR has a counter move
2). KKR wears a cape

KKR was an FE character all this time.

 

[Deleted member]

That new hidden thing is Subspace.
For sure.
Sakurai does want to bring on the hype.

 

[Deleted member]

Imagine if Sakurai made Zoroark a playable fighter due to the requests for her in the past... that could happen... r-right?

1). KKR has a counter move
2). KKR wears a cape

KKR was an FE character all this time.

>Is a King and thus a Lord
>Signature stage is a ship
SAKURAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII

 

[Aurane]

At this point, the only newcomer I'm rooting for is Isabelle.

 

[Androobie]

Since Midna and Lyn are out of the picture, Skull Kid is my next best choice.

I did not know Nintendo leaked the next Legendary Hero in FEH.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Either Peach or Link dies in the next trailer. Maybe Sonic.

Calling it.

Dear Sakuai, Please kill Link, I need to see Link die. Thanks

 

[Deleted member]

Actually, have we seen Zoroark as a Pokeball Pokemon? I'm getting suspicious a bunch of popular characters haven't been shown as assists just yet.
Skull Kid is also absent and the Moon is conveniently a separate Assist.
And Isabelle and Shadow are basically in already lol

Also, I wonder what Robin's new Final Smash is. I'd kill for him to pair up with Morgan.

 

[Aurane]

Dear Sakuai, Please kill Link, I need to see Link die. Thanks

Not Young Link though. You leave him alone. >:T

 

[Robert of Normandy]

After the Simon trailer, I kinda want a Luigi's Mansion/Castlevania crossover game now.

:V

 

[Deleted member]

Ah right, you're an Assist

Dammit, you got me.

I doubt it though, when people think of SF, they think of Ryu and Ken, not Ryu and Akuma

Wouldn't be the first time Akuma made it over Ken

Jokes on you, I got Ridley and Dark Samus

Jokes on you, I pretty much love every newcomer so far except for Inklings, Daisy, and Chrom. They're alright, but nowhere as hype as the rest. IMO.

He's hotter than his human self, it's a different thing

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

 

[Aurane]

TFW Ultimate is basically Infinity War and everybody's dying.

 

[Deleted member]

Now this is a Mario Maker level.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

TFW Ultimate is basically Infinity War and everybody's dying.

Spoiler

Mr. Sakurai, I don't feel so good.

 

[Dr. Jojo Phantasma]

Since Midna and Lyn are out of the picture, Skull Kid is my next best choice.

Personally, I think Impa has a good shot now to be Sheik's echo. I just want a new Zelda character.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I may be sad today, but tomorrow, Okami will make me happy once again

 

[Metal Shop X]

Real talk here, I don't know how, but I actually ripped some of the skin of one of my feet thumb due to jumping too much or something.

And it hurt, alot, lol.

But it's worth it, I'm happy, I don't care if some peoples are salty, I'm sad that Ashley isn't a character, but you know what? I can live with it.

'cuz WE HAVE THE FOUR BIG BAD GUYS.
:ultkkr:

 

[KingofPhantoms]

There's only one newcomer left that I've wanted more than K. Rool. One certain Zelda character:

I'm not confident enough to think Tetra's more likely to be in than not.....but I've got a little bit of hope held out for her. She hasn't been disconfirmed just yet, either. With any luck, she might at least be an echo or semi-clone of some sort. I'd definitely settle for that.

 

[Z25]

We haven’t seen zoroark. However outside of E3 all these Pokémon were new so maybe next smash direct kills zoroark being playable. I would love if he was but I don’t think he had high enough backing and riding off of a gen 7 mon would probably come first if at all.
Skull kid would be so hype but I don’t know if he would be a newcomer as he would have to be fully unique. I would make him a main probably if he was in. Hopefully with K rool in, Zelda can also get the attention it needs with a non link character.

And yeah no way are Isabelle and shadow not playable. Also any assist trophy that’s absent from the final game may very well be left that way for potential DLC but we can look into that way down the line

 

[Coricus]

What I love about Richter is that he killed off some stupid fan rules as well. Particularly the "Only one character from a third party series"
What is it with Smash fans and arbitrary limitations like that?

The cynical, traumatized side of me is convinced that was a fan rule only intended to wall additional Sonic characters out of rep discussion.

It was certainly the case with Cliff, at least. Went into my Tails support thread back when I first started it to bring up that fan rule when IIRC he also supported Zero at the same time.

 

[Knight Dude]

We can finally play as Dark Samus in a game. The Prime games are too good to ignore. And Ridley.

Damn, so much new info. Also, Final Smashes will always be meter for me. That's a done deal. The fact that they tone them down for it makes it less of an issue too. And I know some of you thought I was crazy for suggesting the idea. Maybe I still am, but I'm also RIGHT!!

Not to mention Mega Man vs Simon vs Pit for that Captain N fight we've all been waiting for.

 

[Deleted member]

Now someone can make a Robbie Rotten Smash Ultimate Villains thing, considering four big baddies.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Not Young Link though. You leave him alone. >:T

What if I said Kill them all?
collateral damage, oops

 

[ChikoLad]

The level that Rathalos is on is definitely a stage. Having a Monster Hunter stage that's just an open plain with Rathalos terrorising you the whole time is like the perfect representation for Monster Hunter in stage form.

 

[Knight Dude]

Yeah Akuma would be way cooler.
But Ken's the original Ryu clone so eh, he'd be fine. Akuma's a long shot tbh.

Let it be known if the 1% chance of getting Protoman as a Mega Man Echo happens, I'm going to be a very happy man.

I'd be cool with either Ken or Akuma. Any other Shoto, not so much.

 

[ChikoLad]

Another character I actually wanted deconfirmed....

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[AlphaSSB]

I went in preparing for the worst. Saw a lot of good, but a lot I didn't like either. I lost sleep last night stressing over this. But I've cooled down a bit, so figured I'd post my full thoughts.

Simon Belmont I knew immediately upon seeing the castle. Looks like the first bit of Vergeben's info was correct. Still have yet to see if he's right on Isabelle and a Gen VII Pokemon not being Decidueye and Lycanroc. Especially the latter now that he seems to be doubting his sources.

Dracula's Castle looks pretty good though, and I was accurate with Alucard being an Assist Trophy. 34 music tracks is surprising. Hopefully one of those is a metal version of Bloody Tears at the least.

Richter I thought was an alternate costume at first. Don't like him as a clone. Not liking that 3rd Parties can have 'Echo' fighters of themselves now in general. Shadow looks more possible now than ever.

Chrom is in, going against things he's said in the past once again. We now have seven Fire Emblem characters. The series now has as many characters as Pokemon. More than the Legend of Zelda. More than Donkey Kong and Metroid even with their new characters. More than Kirby and Star Fox combined. Not to mention that three of them are all variations of Marth, giving us effectively four variations of the same character. At least I can combine 'Echo' fighters with their original to make it seem like there isn't so many of them.

Dark Samus being an 'Echo' was something I tried to debunk, but knew the writing was on the wall. I don't mind her, but its a shame she's a clone. Her animations look great, though.

Glad to see a lot of old stages returning, but I'm really upset that Sector Z and Orbital Gate Assault are not returning. My guess is that Sakurai wants everything Star Fox visually based off Star Fox Zero. With him not wanting to remake Smash 64 stages, and Orbital Gate Assault solely based off Star Fox: Assault, I doubt that they just haven't been revealed yet. I'd like to at least see one new stage or a music track or two from Star Fox Zero, but wouldn't be surprised if Star Fox got the shaft yet again.

Stage Hazard toggle is something I'm happy about, but Stage Morphing looks like an unnecessary gimmick. Music not being limited to a specific stage, but rather any stage from that series, is a very nice touch.

Smash stuff. Rulesets are great to see. Stamina battles were alright. Stage selection changes are alright, I suppose. Sudden death we knew about, but I like the changes. Chargeable Final Smashes are crazy. Looks like a lot of fun with friends, but I don't see this working in competitive.

Battlemodes. Squad Strike looks absolutely great. Something like this was actually one of my most wanted things in Smash Ultimate, and they even took it a step further by allowing crew battles. Tournament mode looks very good, too. Smashdown looks incredible, too. It's like a designated Iron Man mode. Training looks so nice with launch distance markers, though that grid is going to cause me eye strain. Lastly, I'm glad Classic is back, and I'm glad they've gone away from Smash 4's style.

The normal items look good, though many of them look overpowered. Specifically Killing Edge, Death's Scythe, and the Staff.

Poke Ball summons look great. And Mimikyu does exactly what I thought it would do. And no, Mimikyu does not 'confirm' Vergeben for me, as I never saw Mimikyu as playable in the first place. Also, it's about damn time we saw Ditto!

Assist Trophy deconfirmations were nice to see. A lot of them look pretty crazy, like Kapp'n. The only one I don't like seeing is Shovel Knight, who I feel has no place in Smash, but his game was published in Japan by Nintendo, so whatever. The Moon Assist Trophy makes Skull Kid seem even more likely as a playable character. Also, Rathalos is an Assist Trophy, and as a boss on a Monster Hunter stage? What.

Main Menu looks leagues above Smash 4's. I like how the center has the original eight characters starting character from Smash 64. Great cast to be greeted with. Also, apparently the blurred out 'green' mode is called 'Spirits', and I assume its the main way to unlock characters. A Great Maze would be nice. The blurred out spot on the dashboard may be a progress checker.

King K. Rool. Knew it was him the second the camera shook. His opening trailer looked great, and I loved how it showed the main Nintendo cast with their villains before cutting to his reveal. King K. Rool looks pretty damn great, and I honestly thought he would've been beat out by Dixie Kong. Speaking of which, I think Dixie Kong seems a lot less likely now. Anyways, congrats to the fans who've been clambering for him for so long. He'll make for a great addition.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Man, I just realize:

Castlevania, especially the later games, have done alot of shout-out to Jojo.

Now that they are in Smash....

WHERE ARE THE JOJO MEMES INTERNET?!

 

[Deleted member]

Ultimate is game of the year for sure.
No contest.

 

[praline]

@ShinyLegendary Zinith I’m sorry about last night. I got more angry about it than I probably should have. But please next time can you put that stuff in spoiler tags?

It’s ok to not spoiler tag them in the Smash Ultimate social thread but not here. I don’t like getting spoiled that’s why I don’t enter those threads when people mention that somethings been leaked so I’d really appreciate it you spoiler tagged that kind of stuff going forward. Thanks.

 

[Ivander]

The level that Rathalos is on is definitely a stage. Having a Monster Hunter stage that's just an open plain with Rathalos terrorising you the whole time is like the perfect representation for Monster Hunter in stage form.

We don't know for sure. Sakurai mentioned there are 103 stages and all 103 are shown on the official site and Ancestral Steppes is not one of them.
https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/stage/index.html
While this could be Sakurai just confirming how many stages there are currently, there's no way to know for sure until later.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I almost forgot I made a promise awhile back: If Simon Belmont is revealed, I'd play a round of Story Mode as Simon in DreamMix TV: World Fighters, followed by a VS match as him against Snake.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Concerning Simon Belmont, I'm actually more excited about the Castlevania stages than the actual characters.

I have no personal connections from playing Castlevania games (which I never have), but the stages and their content are dark, creepy and awesome. They're all right up my ally. Lovin' it. Really looking forward to getting to play on them.

I'm still quite happy for the character and his fans overall, though! Same goes to everyone else who supported a confirmed character today. I didn't expect to see all the newcomer confirmations in this one Direct alone. Not even a bunch of Echoes. I anticipated that we'd only see a few Echoes, but revealing a lot of them in one go is also a sensible move to make, imo.

 

[ChikoLad]

Has this been shared here yet?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I'm still not 100% sure I'll buy the game at launch but this might tempt me. That's a really sexy box.

 

[Deleted member]

I have wanted King K. Rool in what was like forever, so ayyy we got him.
