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 have such a hard time with sweet and bubbly and nice Kristen Bell. Not saying I register her as a ***** or someone who would be unpleasant in person, but anytime she's cast as someone like a Disney Princess or this video?

I'm just like '''That's Veronica Mars/Eleanor Shellstrop singing sweetly." and it just....doesn't work for me mentally.
I'll kindly respect your opinion and views on it.

All I know is that I love the song so much ever since it first came out in 2014 lol. xD

I think there are hundreds of character ideas we can throw out, its anyone's guess. I mean we managed to get the Duck Hunt dog as a character. I think the best way here is to use process of elimination. Speculating on what it won't be is probably easier than vice versa. It is clear with the Joker release, the team is really interested in venturing into other franchises that had no previous affiliation with smash games. So therefore I cannot rule out any character that happens to be part of a franchise not already in the smash world. Here is a list of what I think it won't be.
  • Nothing from the super mario franchise. We got piranha plant, like it or not, its probably the last new entry for the mario franchise.
  • Nothing from Fire Emblem. We just have enough of these guys at this point, if they release anymore some of these will grow stale and uninteresting.
  • Nothing in the form of an assist trophy or pokeball. Kind of obvious, they serve other roles in the game.
  • Nothing in the form of spirits. I feel collecting the spirits really lost hope for some of these fighters getting in as characters. I know we have Zelda, link, ganon, etc. as various spirits but I feel its just for nostalgia for past games. Some of the characters I wanted like Shadow, Bomberman, and Issac are already presented in "true" form on the spirit, and I think nintendo made there mind in not using these characters.
  • No anime characters. I've seen lots of speculation to venture into the anime world. However with the future release of Jump Force, which is literally a fighting collection of almost every anime character I can think of, so they would probably have to get permission from jump force creators( no idea who they are), but I don't think they would be in the business for doing the competition any favors.
Right now i'm thinking Crash, a Microsoft rep (Master Chief, Banjo, Steve), Erdrick, and an Undertale character (just to be weird).

Did somebody say trumpets?

That's a lot of Habbenings.

I think the overall quirkiness of Warioware and the idea of a dedicated magic user could be a pretty cool character. Ashley fit that bill.

Don't worry, she'll get her chance. In another seven years.
wow okay you really out here forgetting my boy jimmy like ashley's the only one who can fit the bill

It's a perfectly fine Christmas song and Kristen has a lovely singing voice, I just blame it on that when I think of Kristen I just think of those two roles of hers. Unlike most people who probably associate her with Anna from Frozen now.

I never said she was the only one who could, just that she was my personal favorite.

Jimmy'd be fine too. i've got no issue with him.

You got an issue with me?

Jump Force is a manga crossover and not a particularly big one.

All of this third party talk is making me go and google the games a lot of these characters come from
(NieR Automata, Persona) and I check them out and they look amazing but then I have to ~cry~ myself to sleep at night because I only own Nintendo consoles and unfortunately, without a port of the game, ever be able to play them
(Reason for only using Nintendo is 1.) I grew up on it and really love their games, 2.) I don’t ACTUALLY spend all that much time playing games aside from smash, Pokémon, zelda and Mario...so I just feel like it’s too expensive to buy another console to use it who knows how much)

I mean if you have a decent PC you can play Automata.

While the show is Minecraft focused, it's not all they do.

Sakurai likes a lot of games. That doesn't guarantee their inclusion in Smash.

Can we all agree IGN is a joke?

https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/12/...mate-6-overpowered-characters-that-need-nerfs

Last I checked, they also gave Smash Wii U a slightly higher score than Ultimate
Not checking the article because I really don't care but are the people who reviewed the games both the same person? People are stupid and often go "These two separate reviewers have different scores on similar games, CLEARLY gaming journalism is dead because I'm too stupid to consider the possibility that 2 different reviewers have different opinions"

Persona coming with exactly 1 song confirmed. Get ready to listen to Life Will Change over and over again on the Casino stage, boys and girls.
Nono, the song's in the game already, it's a new remix of a Mario Bros/World song.


It's just not obtainable at all.

I think Sakurai just needs to open up and state every favorite game of his so people don’t assume everyone of those gets a character in Smash.

....Unless people start making predictions based on said favorites.

No he hasn't. He hasn't liked or retweeted anything Minecraft.

And no that show isn't a Minecraft show. Itself the equivalent of a let's play channel. A channel that's really popular and has gotten Sakurai to appear on BECAUSE of Smash. Don't spread misinformation.

Probably not and I forgot about the fact that it’s different people reviewing the games.

Never knew Ness and Diddy Kong are overpowered, though.

So, who else thought Chrom was gonna suck and am amazed at how good he actually is?


I'm not too big to admit it, I thought that recovery was going to be the death of him, but who'd a thunk Roy would have become soo good, by proxy making Chrom soo good.

That reminds me, I saw a sick Ness combo that was pretty impressive and the commentators at the tournament that happened unironically went "Ness is unga" and now I remember why Smash fans are the laughing stock of fighting games

So how many songs are actually unlockable in Ultimate?

I know there's 876 songs, but how many of those do you need to get from challenges/drops/the shop/WoL?

The missing song is the original Ground Theme from SMB3. It's not a remix.
