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.

I just think it's funny how so many people during this Smash season claimed such and such characters are literally impossible because of their own biases when nobody really knows what the hell the devs and Sakurai are gonna do.

Okay, I've been hearing a lot of complaints about the online function for this game, Is it really that bad? I just got the game a few days ago, and was planning to buy Nintendo Switch Online just for it. Can someone tell me what makes the online in Ultimate terrible? I might wait until its fixed to buy the NSO.
It isn't completely terrible, but it's pretty bad.

You pick your ruleset and queue in for a match, but you're not guaranteed to get into a match with someone that has the same ruleset. On top of this you have to back out of the queue completely if you want to switch characters. Some people have reported input delay as well, but it seems to be worse for some over others.

If you still have the 7 day free trial, use that and test out online for yourself. The first two points I mentioned are really my only problems with the online, but other than that I've still been having fun with it. There's also a new patch coming next week that might fix some of people's grievances, you could wait for that to see.

Quickplay just doesn't work. Your preferred rules are more like suggestions that it rarely follows, the netcode is less than stellar, GSP is a pretty bad ranking system, you can't change characters at will without completely exiting matchmaking, and Elite Battles don't do much to fix any of these issues.
On the other hand, lobbies are overall pretty good and fix a majority of these issues, and even though you don't gain GSP from them people are starting to settle on them as the way to play online for the most part.

Never stated he was purposefully wrong. Just that he was wrong.
Being so definite about the Squenix characters announcement-way beyond "well it MAY be the first one"-tips me off something is up regarding DLC.
It's very exciting actually. The DLC in Smash 4 didn't exactly end on a lame note either. Sure, Bayonetta's still drinking salty tears to this day, but I thought she was an awesome finish to the DLC line-up. I'm fairly confident that our fifth character will be someone who's at least within the same scope as her, like Raiden (if he wasn't already a Spirit), or Dante, or Travis, or 2B, etc.

I hope so...
The reactions to Joker were pure and genuine, and it was nice to see that in a time where leaks are common, that a reveal like this, was just a surprise for us...
Same. If we got a Square character announced instead, there would have been a divide between fanbases that feel slighted that their Most-Wanted was excluded. We're not seeing this sort of thing with Joker because the NiGHTS fans and Jet Set Radio fans are nowhere to be seen whining about this.

I don't remember anyone leaking Duck Hunt Dog.
You say that to one of the persons who did leak Duck Hunt.
Vaan could actually have leaked even Robin if he believed the info sooner so that would have ended up with Rosalina as the sole unleaked character.

Sometimes I forget how many people didn't know about what went on in the leaks group. You guys had it easy with your silly boxes and grinch murals, we were analyzing Brawl mods.

I'm hearing players outside of here say the game has given a notice of a 1.2.0 patch already. It will probably be one of those "improvement" patches, but okay. Can anyone here confirm that, or am I late?

I don't mean "brawl mod passed as a leak" I mean "this person knew of this then-unrevealed Bowser recolor and had it modded into Brawl as proof"
Remember when we fought about the data of Roy/Ryu being legit or not?

Or that Roy was probably leftovers?

T'was fun

Reminder that the only matchup that Joker could have a persona battle with (Without dittos) is Zelda.

Also Zelda feels uncomfortable compared to Smash 4 due to the lag input.

"Ryu's data is a misdirection" was the original "Incineroar is leakerbait"

It's called a Stand and Duck Hunt and Rosalina have those.
How could anyone deny it, the classic mode ending pictures were in the files.
Those weren't added until the day before E3, before that update, all we had were empty folders with their names.

T'was 3ds, and it was files from the in-game shop who play the Characters music.
The empty victories files were here.

Ironically enough, when we managed to play those files, Ryu's files was his Victory STRAIGHT UP from SFII so people called it fake or a "misdirection"
