Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

I want Falcon Punch to actually kill lol.

It's just slighty stronger than Forward Smash, but like 2 times slower.

I remember when it killed at like 60%, now it doesn't even kill at 90% sometimes.

Same thing for the Knee of Justice. Like in some flat stages, it is possible to survive a Knee at 110% with proper DI in Smash 4.

 

[osby]

I was thinking looking at the reveal from either Nintendo's Youtube channel or Smash site, but both are kinda slow, aren't they?

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Here's a tweet I'm stoling for your convenience, by the user Geistbox, regarding the leaks.

Spoiler

Is it another point for vergeben?

They are not specifically stating capcom is who they are working with.

 

[SuperMasterHand]

Wait, did something/someone guarantee Metroid Prime 4 footage?

Nothing confirmed, but come on, after the hype of last year, at least a CGI trailer
Now I'm scared lol
(and we need MP4 trailer to announce Ridley in Smash of course)

 

[UltimateCyborgOverlord]

That would likely be DMC V yesterday then. Also just cause 4 was announced to nobody’s surprise.

Yep. Found 'er. It's Platinum and Capcom to some degree.

I'm probably gonna catch some slugs to the face for this one... but I KINDA remember Liam Robertson saying he'd heard something to that effect on one of his Patreon podcasts. Once again, it's just what he's heard, so don't go running wild and going "IT'S GOSPEL", y'know, it doesn't mean it's TRUE, but I'm saying... it's not the first I've heard of it.

The podcast in question went up on May 28th for Patreons. If you can listen to it, it starts at 22:30.

As planned, I watch all conferences through Etika, but tomorrow I'm watching the Direct on my TV. (for the full experience!)

Nice! Im thinking about streaming it on my 65 inch 4k rather than my monitor. Gonna test out other streams on it first to see if the tv version of the youtube app handles streams well.

Has it been confirmed that Platinum are working on DMC5?

 

[ThatShadowLink]

Devil May Cry 5 is purely a Capcom affair. Platinum is not involved.

Remind it has "may" in it so possibly working with capcom

But Liam said "that's isn't the only suprising collaboration platinum is doing"

 

[?????????????]

I'm only going to be able to catch 15 minutes of the livestream. I'll have to watch the rest later...

 

[T-Donor66]

I just can't believe I'm going to see footage from the 2 games I've the most wanted in my entire life, a Smash sequel and Metroid Prime 4 ( I was 12 when i played Prime 3 and now I'm 23), that alone makes it the best E3 of all time for me, no matter what happens tomorow

Metroid Prime footage isn’t a guarantee like Smash is unfortunately.

 

[Nebunera]

Anyone else a little nervous for the direct? I am very excited and can't wait to see the games, but also a little nervous for anything weird. I mean I am really afraid of getting a new clone character or Minecraft Steve...

 

[Con0rrrr]

An underrated feature of the new Smashboards is how when I click on a notification for "A New Post in [Thread]" it doesn't keep redirecting me to that exact post until the page fully finishes loading like the old site and I can start scrolling as soon as I get on the page

Is Minecraft Steve related to Undertale Sans

 

[Omega Tyrant]

Same thing for the Knee of Justice. Like in some flat stages, it is possible to survive a Knee at 110% with proper DI in Smash 4.

Eh what? The Knee is ridiculously strong in Smash 4, and reliably kills by 80ish in normal circumstances, while being able to kill under even 50% with rage. Falcon's competitive play largely revolves around getting combos into it for a reason.

 

[T-Donor66]

Honestly, as convinced I am that this is a brand new Smash game, there is still a tiny little part of me that is terrified by the thought of of the stream starting and hearing the Smash 4 theme, followed by the title “Smash 4 Deluxe” or something stupid like that. But at this point it’s such an outlandish possibility that it doesn’t affect my hype at all though.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Devil May Cry 5 is purely a Capcom affair. Platinum is not involved.

That's not the game vergeben claimed they are working together on

It's viewiful joe 3

If wrong he won't lose that many points because it's a "may" claim
And Liam just said platinum is doing another surprise collaboration on a game

 

[GaroMaster]

I think I'm going to film my live reaction to Nintendo's E3 Presentation. I'm already planning on watching the thing with some of my friends. Needless to say, tomorrow can't come soon enough.
I realize how credible the Vergeban leak is getting, but a part of me is constantly telling myself that there is no way Ridley could be in Smash. It's too good to true.
But there's no real good reason to think this way, and that's both exciting and scary. Exciting because many fan favorites will be debuting/returning in Smash Switch, scary because the disappointment is going to be harder to swallow if it's fake.
UGGGGGHHHHHH......

Ah, I guess you are correct.
I do recall the Knee killing at that percent, but I must of remembered the knee sending the opponent to the far side maybe that is why I thought that?

Oh and are you going to do a video of "Luigi wins against every level 9 cpu by absolutely doing nothing" again in Smash Bros. Switch?

I am shaking a little bit thinking of Nintendo's E3 already.

Ladies and gentlemen, the magic of Nintendo hype.

So, how will you guys be watching tomorrows livestream? Will you be watching the stream of a commentator or youtuber you like (someone like Etika), or just the vanilla Nintendo stream? Just curious as to how you guys plan on experiencing it.

I actually asked for a Half day tomorrow, so I get to watch the stream from the comfort of my computer, then go to work after!

 

[Smooth Criminal]

And I have the day completely off.

Ah, yes.

Shaking due to excitement or worry? Also, welcome back to the boards.

 

[TumblrFamous]

And I have the day completely off.

Ah, yes.

Smooth Criminal

So do I.

I always have Mondays and Tuesdays off, so this is an added bonus.

 

[Ridleyridster]

I'm doing a half day too. Worked out so I'm pumped!!

 

[DLEAF]

I'm just worried we're going to end up with another BOTW situation.

UGGGGGHHHHHH......

Same, with my friend we organised a Discord to watch it together and I'm gonna record myself, if there is Ridley I wanna see how bad I'll loose my mind

 

[Omega Tyrant]

Coast to coast on something as large as Battlefield with little rage it could be survivable that late, but then barely any horizontal knockback moves would be able to kill at that percent in that range.

Oh and are you going to do a video of "Luigi wins against every level 9 cpu by absolutely doing nothing" again in Smash Bros. Switch?

Yeah I'm planning to get it done ASAP upon release, just gonna be quite the conundrum to try doing it while wanting to play the new game too...

 

[Fenriraga]

I'm just wondering if there are going to be any decent places to watch the direct AT E3. Like, putting it on a monitor outside the con or something. I'd love to get some crowd hype.

 

[Yoshisaurus Rex]

So, how will you guys be watching tomorrows livestream? Will you be watching the stream of a commentator or youtuber you like (someone like Etika), or just the vanilla Nintendo stream? Just curious as to how you guys plan on experiencing it.

Thankfully I have nothing planned for tomorrow so I can fully enjoy the vanilla stream. I personally never liked commentator/youtuber streams since I can't hear whats going on through the screams of pure hype.

 

[-crump-]

I am going to make one last bold move on my prediction roster:

You might be surprised who I added and who I took out.

I hope one day I meet someone who is as confident in me as BluePikmin11 is in Hanafuda Man <3


I secretly hope you’re right about him just so you can rub it in all of our faces

 

[DYED]

You wanna know something really stupid but that I would really, really, REALLY want in Smash 5?

I want Sandbag to go back being considered a character by the game, so that it could be grabbed again. A lot of cool combos include one grab in them, it's a shame you can't practice while searching for an online foe.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

A collab between Capcom and Platinum/Sega for Bayonetta x Dante would be interesting.

How would Nintendo handle it? Surely they'd want a piece of the pie if not the whole thing just because they seem that invested in Bayonetta's future and keeping her to themselves.

And then how would all the DmC fan boys and girls react to that?

 

[osby]

So, how will you guys be watching tomorrows livestream? Will you be watching the stream of a commentator or youtuber you like (someone like Etika), or just the vanilla Nintendo stream? Just curious as to how you guys plan on experiencing it.

I'll just wake up and watch it from Youtube. I don't need to watch it live.

It's just slighty stronger than Forward Smash, but like 2 times slower.

I remember when it killed at like 60%, now it doesn't even kill at 90% sometimes.

Isn't that what the Reverse Falcon Punch is for? Though I guess it doesn't help when the attack has atrocious BKB (a big fat goose egg in this case), and only 90 KBG.

 

[T-Donor66]

Guys, no matter how you feel about the Vergeben leak, I strongly suggest going into the direct with the mindset that it could be fake. Why? Because if it turns out to be fake, you arent left completely disappointed by his promises not coming true. And if it is real? Awesome! You will be even more excited.

Anyways, this is just my suggestion, but I think adapting this mindset will help desalinate the boards a bit tomorrow (probably not by much though ).

 

[Smooth Criminal]

I just wanna see the game in action. The roster is actually secondary to this desire.

or if you don't like the vergeben leak go in with the mindset that it's real so when it is you aren't surprised

I just had my last exam for this week (1 more to go!) so I've got nothing planned, I'm gonna wake up late, make some popcorn and just sit on my bed and watch it with headphones on, just me and this livestream

 

[Megadoomer]

I have volunteering in the morning and work in the afternoon; mercifully, the Nintendo Direct falls right in between those two. (I could easily not go in for volunteering and have the whole morning off, but I enjoy it)
