Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

If there's one thing I'm interested in seeing are the two Dragon Ball games that Vergeben mentioned in his Gamefaqs PM's.

The first one of the two is obviously a DBFZ port to Switch, but I can't really think of what the second one could be...

 

[Pazzo.]

Only about 13 hours to go...

Through the fires of Smash speculation...

Through the cold desert droughts of information...

It's time. All aboard, nerds.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

We knew about RE2make for a couple of years now.

Verge didn't predict that

 

[CrusherMania1592]

We could see Geno and/or Sora for an E3 reveal maybe? Maybe we could get neither. Either way, I am feeling that Square Enix has something interesting to showcase in this Direct. I will still put these two characters in my prediction roster, from now to the Smash Switch release. Crossing my fingers for the best.

Now if you were to pick between one of them, who do you think would be a better choice?

 

[Zinith]

Now if you were to pick between one of them, who do you think would be a better choice?

I would say Sora due to relevancy...

At least in terms of broad appeal

 

[Nebunera]

Well, I'm going to bed early to I can assure I get up early for this presentation. I was also quite sick today and hopefully I feel well enough to enjoy tomorrow.

I hope to have amazing dreams tonight, BECAUSE THE HYPE TRAIN KEEPS GOING!!!

 

[Questionmark222]

Okay, since there's only a few hours left, I figured I would write down what I expect to see from Smash in the Nintendo Presentation, on top of my head:

- 4-5 newcomers: including a big hype-inducing third-party (same level as Snake for Brawl or Cloud for Smash 4), 1-2 high-caliber first-parties, a totally left field character, plus Inklings
- Ice Climbers are confirmed (plus Snake if the Vergeben rumors end up being true)
- All veterans present in the teaser are shown (based on my assumption they are, from left to right, Yoshi, Pit, DK, Peach, Ness, Marth, Mario, Link, Sheik, Pikachu, Samus, Ike, Kirby, Bowser, Fox, Captain Falcon and Wario), with some additional ones sprinkled in
- The new single-player campaign is shown, and is something in-between Melee's Adventure and Brawl's Subspace Emissary
- A bunch of new stages are shown, mostly from Nintendo's most recent games (Odyssey, BOTW... you get the idea)
- And it goes without saying, but it's likely that we see some items, both old and new, as well

Come on, only a few more hours of pure agony...

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Guys...as a tribute to Iwata, what if Balloon Fighter joins Smash?

 

[Llort A. Ton]

Exciting times... So far my favorite show has to be Bethesda. They were so self aware, so keen on what their customers wanted, and it seemed like there was something for everyone,. They even managed to stuff in the fluff like Fallout Shelter and the TES card game and it was still exciting (also DOOM!!). Godd Howard pulled all the stops.

I'm feeling Nintendo can either blow everything out of the water, or pull an E3 2015. After a stellar 20 minute E3 last year, I am thinking they would do an even better 45 minute E3 to keep the Switch chugging along, but the pre-E3 worries are coming along. As long as I don't see a rabbid join Smash Bros, or learn that Prime 4 is actually Federation Force HD, I should be fine...

 

[BluePikmin11]

Now if you were to pick between one of them, who do you think would be a better choice?

>Me picking between Sora and Geno.

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

Sony presentation wasn't so bad, you guys are just mean (could've done it without the instrument crap)

Also, RE2 REMAKE HYPE, ACTION RE HYPE!
Death Stranding looks good too, thank god they finally showed gameplay.

Death stranding looked boring at first and then it got weird as ****, I really don't know what to make of it tbh

 

[Olo]

I have a final tomorrow that starts 20 minutes into Nintendo's thing, damn it. And Smash will probably be last, too. It's going to be hard not to be spoiled but I've signed up for a PM that will give me the direct link.

I think Dark Pit will be cut and Ice Climbers will be back in. Safe guesses, I know, but I don't know WHAT to expect to be honest.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Guys...as a tribute to Iwata, what if Balloon Fighter joins Smash?

There's one small problem with that


How will Balloon Fighter and Villager share the same Up B?

 

[One winged Devil]

Watching the entire Toy Story trilogy to distract me until the direct.

Because if you think I'll be able to sleep tonight you're living in a cartoon.

That sounds like a good idea, I do something like that.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

>Me picking between Sora and Geno.

You can do one or the other, not both

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

We could see Geno and/or Sora for an E3 reveal maybe? Maybe we could get neither. Either way, I am feeling that Square Enix has something interesting to showcase in this Direct. I will still put these two characters in my prediction roster, from now to the Smash Switch release. Crossing my fingers for the best.

Square Enix is definitely up to something. Their lackluster company presentation has been more than made up for by their hype trailers at Sony and Microsoft presentations. Hopefully they keep it up for Nintendo.

 

[Questionmark222]

Only thing that I can predict for tomorrow is Smashboards crashing.

 

[Pazzo.]

I come from the future.

I took a picture of myself next to EVIDENCE.

Spoiler: Tomorrow

Alternative title: me when no Waluigi happens.

 

[CardiganBoy]

I swear if Snake and Simon aren't revealed together, it will be the biggest missed opportunity ever, if they do it nothing will top it.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I have a feeling that I'm gonna get spoiled somehow no matter what I do unless my timing is perfect and I really am able to spare time to see the direct.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

There's one small problem with that


How will Balloon Fighter and Villager share the same Up B?

I assume Killager will get a new recovery (either using a rocket, a cannon if those are in the game series, or the corpse of those who disrespected him)

 

[Roberk]

If there's one thing I'm interested in seeing are the two Dragon Ball games that Vergeben mentioned in his Gamefaqs PM's.

The first one of the two is obviously a DBFZ port to Switch, but I can't really think of what the second one could be...

Pretty sure it's Xenoverse 3

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Nu~ : My main problem with Brawl is its stale move mechanics. Not only did stale moves weaken the amount of damage an attack dealt, but its KBG also suffered, which meant that attacks that could easily KO as early as 150% damage when fresh would end up struggling to KO well after 300% damage when stale.

The stale move mechanics in Smash 3DS / Wii U are far less harsh, as the only penalty for using the same attack repeatedly is a decrease in the damage dealt; KBG doesn't get affected, so even when stale, the attack could still be reliable at making KOs.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Pretty sure it's Xenoverse 3

Eh, I don't think so. The Xenoverse 2 producer said pretty recently (around the time Vegito Blue and Merged Zamasu released for DBFZ) that they were making more stuff for the game, unless that's being made to tide people over until a hypothetical XV3 releases.

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

Guys...as a tribute to Iwata, what if Balloon Fighter joins Smash?

I actually really love this idea, and balloon fighter would be a cool character if they could create a moveset for him, as far as retros go he's one of the better options

 

[Wyoming]

I don't think that would be an issue..?

 

[IndigoSSB]

While I don't think balloon fighter is likely, not being able to make a moveset for him shouldn't be a problem when duck hunt exists.

 

[NeonBurrito]

Sony had an ok showing. I certainly think Microsoft is in the lead by a large margin right now (which are words I never thought would come out of my mouth), but Ghosts of Tsushima and REmake 2 look great, and I'm glad to see Nioh 2 announced.

However, I couldn't care less about Kingdom Hearts and The Last of Us, and seeing Death Stranding have next to no gameplay other than "walk places" really disappointed me.

Nintendo is tomorrow. Hopefully they make sure to bring things other than Smash. Smash is great, but if the Switch's 2018 is going to consist of an extremely mediocre Kirby game, a watered-down Pokemon, Wii U ports, cardboard, and Smash, that'd be incredibly disappointing. To me, at least. I'm a cynical scumbag, so I'm sure its fine for others.

Here's hoping for Metroid Prime 4. Here's hoping for Bayonetta 3. Here's hoping for a new Animal Crossing. Here's hoping for that new Fire Emblem game that's been in development for over a year now. Here's hoping for Pikmin 4, which has been "near completion" for about three years now.

 

[KingBroly]

Imagine if Sub-Zero was announced for Smash...with Ryu in the game as well

 

[SlickWylde]

I thought Bethesda was good in certain parts of the conference (especially that Keegan Michael Keye bit)

Bethesda was good in almost all parts.

Fallout 76 is finally giving us a MP "Big Bethesda" experience (like me and many others have been asking for since Morrowind)- It might not be exactly what everyone wants, but it looks pretty neat and if done right, could be a blast! (Here's hoping they learn from the beta and give more control to players who want to play on their own/with their own groups)

Doom looks pretty awesome. Hell on Earth... Come on that's cool!

Unique coop Wolfenstein experience!!

Elder Scroll Blades seems like a pretty fun "casual" game- the fact that it's also coming to Switch and PC makes me pretty excited to play it. Not a huge game to get hyped over, but sometimes those simple dungeon crawling games can be a blast.

New IP...I'm excited!

The confirmation of ESVI, while not showing anything, is still really nice to hear.

But Sm5sh will pwn all of that tomorrow

Seriously though, I'm super stoked to hear the new theme song, in all of its glory.

 

[Fenriraga]

Imagine if Sub-Zero was announced for Smash...with Ryu in the game as well

It would probably be Scorpion before Sub Zero if that monkey paw were to ever happen.

 

[CardiganBoy]

Death stranding looked boring at first and then it got weird as ****, I really don't know what to make of it tbh

I too though the walking part looked meh, but there seems to be action because the gun, and the stealth looks pretty tense, the sci-fi stuff looks cool too. And this is coming from someone who hated MGS V.

 

[PSIguy89]

i dont know if this is how sterotypical old people feel when complaining about music and such, but honestly l feel like ive become an old man gamer of sorts hahaha. like all these new gorgeously real looking games do not interest me in the slightest, im just like " ehhh boring" i dont feel excited unless its classic gaming related....anyone feel this way? (btw im 29 and that feels old enough )

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Since the Direct we've all been waiting for is tomorrow, and we've been waiting 3 months, I'd just like to take this opportunity to link the original Smash 5 announcement, so we can remember where these train tracks started.

The Smash Bros. Switch reveal trailer now has more views than the Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U reveal trailer, and it only took 3 months; that's insane.

 

[Llort A. Ton]

Imagine if Sub-Zero was announced for Smash...with Ryu in the game as well

I'd prefer Scorpion, but I've always wanted to see Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter. I needs to happen someday before I leave this rock, and if it must happen in Smash Bros, then so be it!

 

[Pazzo.]

I'm unsure if Death Stranding is a video game or a Kojima movie with some playable sections.

 

[KingBroly]

It would probably be Scorpion before Sub Zero if that monkey paw were to ever happen.

Sub-Zero fits better within Nintendo's roster.

Ah sorry, that was me.

False alarm.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I can imagine him using anything related to balloons as weapons (pumps, strings, the air itself as a side special recovery, the static, etc.)

Sub-Zero fits better within Nintendo's roster.

Maybe, but Scorpion is the more popular member of the game series, like how Cloud is the most popular and well known Final Fantasy character

 

[TumblrFamous]

Well I made my Nintendo E3 Bingo Card. Let's see how I do. Since it's confirmed it's mainly Smash, I'm using a few spaces specifically for that.
