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.

ok now I'm convinced this person actually has insider info, no way is this a coincidence...
lol that convinces me of the opposite; that this person just picked the date randomly.

Like why would they go to this weird little website and leak the info there? They'd go on 4chan nigh instantly to leak it.

inb4 this was the way the leaker put it and it is legit, but I highly doubt it given it's been going for longer than we initially thought.

What's even weirder, the countdown has been running for almost a week by now
If it's real, we still have to wait a few more days before getting an actual confirmation, since Nintendo loves announcing those at the last minute.

Either whoever runs that countdown site dun goofed when reviewing the countdown, or whoever submitted it acted like they were from Nintendo and whoever reviewed it is extremely gullible.

Though I do hope it's real, even if it was just a guess.

Ok

Countdown says it's going to air at 9am EST which I don't think has ever been a direct time

I can also email the site owners and see if they have anything to say about it.

I remember something about Pokemon Trainer representing any Pokemon trainer or something, but I don't know if that includes Team Rocket/Grunt/Etc. The only question is how'd they work: Like Pokemon Trainer or do they fight on their own??
Like PT, I'd suppose. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, plus it makes for a template to reuse and simplify programming a smidgen.

Team Rocket would be amazing in my opinion.

And since Nintendo owns a third of the Pokemon IP, and Sakurai seems okay with using stuff from the anime, they at least have better chances than Goku's zero percent (I guess it just depends on Sakurai and TPC). Just have 'em stand to the side like Pokemon Trainer, while the player is Meowth with Weezing, Arbok, and Wobbufett able to switch out to help him.

Meowth's already been deconfirmed, mate.

Unless you mean the next game.

I think it's weird that Pokeball Pokemon disconfirm a Pokemon newcomer, since there's more than one, and in Meowth's case, he's the only one who talks so I dunno.
I think Sakurai wants the Pokemon you play as to feel unique, that's why there's no Pikachu Pokeball. Or Squirtle, or Mewtwo, etc.

I can see Ike using Gut's training method to get swole. Just swing his giant sword like 10,000 times a day.

In honor of your 10/10 sig gif, if you had to make a Smash version of Stardust Crusaders, who would they be?

Easy :ultfalco: for Avdol.

Good thing there's still Arbok, Weezing and Wobuffet, one supposes.

Same. That 24th leak that was brought up yesterday seems a tad too far, so anything sooner would be nice.

The biggest argument in favor of the "AT/Pokeballs disconfirm characters" hypothesis is that basically, adding any AT/Pokeball pokemon to the game means you would have to risk having two models of the same character with the same color on screen at once, which could give an unfair advantage to users of said character since it could confuse other players

And you could argue that you could block certain ATs/pokeball pokemon when they're being played as characters or that you could add some change in coloring for the ATs/pokeball pokemon when the character is being played, but from a coding perspective, those are constraints that just add unnecessary complexity, it's way easier just never adding any character you're considering to become playable as an AT/pokeball pokemon to begin with

Hey so um

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/77088151/910359870

Big if true wrt Elma's chances

fyi the woman they're talking about is Mika Kobayashi, who's most notable for the female vocals in Uncontrollable
I don't want to get my hopes up... but you're REALLY making it difficult.
Please be real, please be real, please be real

Sent this to the timer site



All right boys let's hope I get a timely response.
sorry not sorry
How much do you want to bet they'll respond back on October 19th?

It's likely I won't hear anything back and they'll either do nothing or just remove the timer without contacting me. I sent the message to the only email the site had and it's a generic info@website.com type of address. But hopefully I will hear something back soon. Worth a shot either way :)

Hard disagree with how dismissive you are of Lara in particular. I don't think you quite get how iconic Lara herself is. We're talking about a character who was so iconic during her run that she appeared on magazine covers, did commercials for products, and has had multiple movies made of her. She's easily up there with Chun-Li as the 2 most iconic women in gaming not yet in Smash. Sora is a massive gaming character but Lara is a legitimate cultural powerhouse.
Problem with Lara is this:
Also, we could incorporate heavy weapons like bombs and rocket launchers as jokes, but things like knives, automatic weapons, and realistic guns were off-limits.
https://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/06/16/solid-snake-joins-the-brawl-translation/

Her main weapon are two realistic guns. Same with Leon/most RE characters. Unless they go back on this, which I can't see happening, I'd rather not have them. Snake has CQC that helps him stand out, but a Lara or a Leon without handguns is just awkward, imo.

I've said it before, but the lack of Xenoblade music on the blog is odd. The series is known for its music, to the point its always been a big part of its advertisement.
I'm sure it's inevitably coming. Also, no FF, Game & Watch or Pac-Man stuff has been blogged on the official website and you can check the series tag if you don't believe me.

I'd rather you guys try to keep the music theory alive than attaching yourselves to an irrelevant twitter account for a website where anyone can make these damn countdowns

I'm mostly saying this so that way I'm wrong and it ends up on that date anyway.

I swear I'm going to be so upset if FF doesn't get any more music. Which seems to be the sad truth of the matter if the Smash direct still showing only 2 songs is any indication.

My point was that I'd rather people stick to debunked messes than the countdown timer.

Your fanservice theory makes me imagine a Beach Episode costume pack for DLC, and ROB in water wings makes your theory rock solid.

No I'm not missing the point, I'm hijacking the point

Music Theory has not been broken.

You see those two Fire Emblem songs? Sakurai has a composer who "strangely" worked really hard on a lot of Fire Emblem music, and that's the only reason why we got two; they don't count :troll:

inb4 people take this seriously

if Tekken Tag 2 can have a Panda in a One Piece Swimsuit then why shouldnt smash do the same kind of fanservice.

Friendly reminder that every character in Smash history is back.

No reason for mentioning this, I just feel it's something we tend to forget about among all the speculation.

Never really forgotten that, though I wonder if that is entirely for the best or not. Though the answer to that is going to be entirely subjective for pretty much everyone.
