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.

Secret: I spent a lot o be able to guess why. XD
I do remember that for the first few weeks of owning Melee, I unlocked Falco every afternoon because we didn't have a memory card. :laugh:
I remembered playing Star Fox Adventures without a memory card for quite a while.
I kinda really hope this rule is broken in this game. For all the "rules" that have been broken this one still holds up and, I dunno, I love seeing a wrench getting thrown into the speculation scene. Freshens it up a bit.
Oh you can bet your *** I've wanted this stupid rule broken for ten long years.
Yeah this rule needs to end up like an certain Trophy Case, completely shattered. Ten years for Lyn and Krystal.

Now I can say I've become the weird one on Smashboards.
I am my own antagonist.


Marx or Gooey for Smash, anybody?


Marx is honestly my favorite Kirby Antagonist, and Gooey is my favorite classic Kirby companion Pre-W.D. Era.

I'm pretty sure either Marx or Magalor will be a boss in Spirits mode

Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you a new theory.
Title Screen Theory.

But rather than be a theory of who could show up, it's a theory mainly of who won't show up.

And that is, ANY character that would require another copyright credit.
Observe, the title screen.



It covers the entire screen.

"But Golden-sama, what about the blank space after Hal Laboratory? Surely credits from the row below could be moved up there to make room after Square Enix, right?"

Technically, it could, however it is VERY unlikely.
Why, you may ask?

Because that gap is there by intentional design choice. A design choice that was present in Smash 4's title screen as well.

Before DLC:


After DLC (Couldn't get one of the English screen for some reason):



Ergo, characters like Steve, Banjo-Kazooie, Sora, Shantae, Isaac, etc.?
Not going to happen.

.....at least in base game. DLC could shake things up somehow, who knows.

Where are you getting these?
Why does this exist?
Why?
WHY?
Appropriate video to accompany your anguish.
Anyway, while this isn't a gaming image, it doesn't fail to lift my spirits.

WAAAAAAAAAH!

Why do people keep claiming Bandana Dee is some super important main protagonist? He’s playable in a grand total of 2 games, one of which only came out this year. Outside of that, he’s appeared in just a handful of games as a glorified cameo basically.

He’s just a multi colored toad from NSMB. A place holder generic NPC for the multiplayer. /rant

Hmm, a good effort. It will have settle for second place for me, unfortunately, for the purity of the Woomy is simply too strong to overcome. Only it's counterpart, the blessed Veemo, may hope to contend with its awesome powers of pure adorability.

Hey! Thx...



If you don't mind, i have i smash related question :p What's the very first character that you intend to play when you get Ultimate (excluding potential newcomer obviously)? For me it's going to be K.Rool for sure, he seems like a ton of fun to play.

We've already had enough theories about characters that won't show up. :p

All of the Wii U images are from the game, not the demo, which the Ultimate screenshot is. This is just like the Box Theory--it assumes things (like font size) won't change between a temp version (demo/placeholder art) and the final version.

Did you forget that they are going to (re-)add Konami to the copyright listing?

I'm planning on getting a Ridley amiibo Day 1, so he's gonna be the first guy I pick up.

... Unless someone else on my wishlist gets in, then I'll either have to get two amiibo on day 1, or things might get complicated...

Aside from my usual mains, :ultrichter:, his moveset looks so fun and I like whip using characters like :ivysaur: or :zerosuitsamus:.

Also :ultpalutena:, because I want to see how her new moveset works.

Seeing as how you only have access to the original eight at first, i'll be using my favorite member of the original eight :ultpikachu:.
I'm gonna play a lot of characters like :ultpokemontrainer::ultridley::ultkrool::ultisabelle::ultsnake::ultdaisy::ulticeclimbers::ultpichu:, but as soon as I unlock :ultinkling: it's over. She was my main from day one.

Technically we might be forced to play the original 8 first--all depends on how they decide to unlock characters (unless, potentially based on rumors, you have an amiibo). I won't be getting amiibo (unless Banjo's in), so I'd be playing the original 8. Mario, for the nostalgia* and because I'll never be playing him again, followed by the original 8. First character I'm excited to play as is Pokemon Trainer.

EDIT: Nostalgia's not the right word... after FLUDD, I lost interest in Mario. For sentimental reasons? Can't think of the right word.

Okay then...

You're definitely getting there, as that is quite possibly the best Yoshi fanart I've ever seen.

Honestly, if you guys want wholesome images, you should've just asked me! One of my favorite hobbies is collecting wholesome fanart:

And while nowhere near as good as those ones and others posted, I dabble a bit in cute fanart drawing myself:

I can see it being true. However, the interesting thing is that if this theory is true, then there should technically be no Minecraft content in the game at all, which would outright contradict Vergeben. Obviously, Vergeben has correct information, but I wouldn't be shocked to find out that one of his sources got something wrong, for whatever reason.

EDIT: Ignore what I said. The copyright is exclusively for playable characters. Ubisoft is not credited in Smash 4 for the Rayman trophies, and Yacht Club Games is not credited in Ultimate for Shovel Knight.

All this would mean is that Steve isn't a character.
Doesn't contradict Verge when there could still be an Assist (like Shovel Knight, where Yacht Club Games doesn't need to be credited for characters) or a stage.
