Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Anyone else thinking that this "disappointment" is code speak for "No Metroid Prime 4 stuff"?

Cause I already expected that. Can't be disappointed by something you don't think is coming.

I mean, we're already getting Smash so I can't be too disappointed, but Prime 4 is really the only other already announced thing that I'm super excited for. Not a big Pokemon or Yoshi fan. I'm not counting on it, but a little more info would be nice.

It seems super subjective to me. There's tons of other stuff that I'm excited for that I'm confident is going to be in the presentation. Even if most of that stuff doesn't make it, it's just more time for Smash which is great in and of itself.

What if the Smash trailer is the same we've seen in March, but the silhouettes are no longer hidden?

 

[Deleted member]

I've already expressed my opinion on "leaks" and "rumors" before, but I guess it won't hurt to repeat myself...

I advise everyone to do the same,

 

[TMNTSSB4]

The waiting hurts even more than yesterday

 

[SquashiniKun]

I've updated my bingo card a little bit, anybody wanna update theirs as well?

Spoiler: New Bingo Card

 

[SneakyLink]

What if the Smash trailer is the same we've seen in March, but the silhouettes are no longer hidden?

I’ll take anything at this point.

 

[Zeox]

C'MON, LESS THAN 4 HOURS LEFT

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

I'm going to be a the school while this direct isn't on the air but best of luck

I hope Ridley speculation war comes to a close

My body is ready for either way

 

[StupendousMike]

What if the Smash trailer is the same we've seen in March, but the silhouettes are no longer hidden?

It'd be something I guess.

 

[Deleted member]

If Simon Belmont gets confirmed i hope it's the classic barbaric design and nothing else (maybe a Chronicles alt, but ONLY as an alt)

It's only 4 hours.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I will be at the Source Gaming Discord for voice chat live reactions:

If any speculator would like to join me in reacting to Smash Switch's newcomers, feel free to come!

 

[GaroMaster]

Well, it's almost that time again.
Cherish this experience while it lasts because we might not get another announcement of this caliber for a very, very long time after this.
BRING ON SMASH FOR SWITCH!

 

[Mogu]

Whatever happens, it has been a blast being present for this speculation period and participating to some extent. Best wishes for all, hope you get what you want!

 

[Phaazoid]

Man, after Ridley's status took so long to be revealed for both Brawl and Sm4sh, it's hard to imagine the possibility we could know so early this time around. Here's to hoping he gets announced in a few hours!

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

This is a time that comes once every couple of years and is the holiest of holy days for Smashers around the globe. We eagerly wait for Jolly St Sakurai to come fill our consoles full of Smash goodness while emptying our wallets at the same time. The joys of characters getting announced, the salt of favorites being deconfirmed, the groans of apparent one step forwards and two steps back, the “I never saw that coming” blindside reaction videos that created an entire new YouTube genre, and the eventual launch to much acclaim and the gradual decrease in speculative interest until the next day Smashmas comes to town.

I’m turning in for the night but I’m looking forward to my proverbial Smash Tree chocked full of greatness when I wake up in the morning. May I have dreams of Ridley’s and Master Chief’s, Decidueyes, and Elma’s dancing about in my head tonight.

 

[Wyoming]

I'm hoping this will spawn a proper speculation era: Pic of the Day returning and so on. The direct information will be a much needed breath of fresh air, but I don't want this place to turn around in circles around it for a few months

 

[StupendousMike]

It's funny to think that the amount of time between today's official unveiling and the game's launch could be shorter than the one between Smash 4's E3 debut and the Rosalina trailer. That was a good six months.

 

[PeridotGX]

So since we're 3 HOURS away from the direct, I figured I'd post my alternate Kirby moveset, considering that it'll be invalidated soon. I don't think he needs a major overhaul, but I would like to see the specials.

Spoiler: Kirby Overhaul

Jab Combo: Same

Up-Tilt: Leaf Uppercut. Taken from the Leaf copy ability from Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, Kirby does a quick uppercut using a pile of leaves, visually similar to Bayo’s Smashes. It’s very quick, but quite low in knockback.

Side Tilt: Broom Clean. Kirby uses a broom from the long forgotten Clean copy ability from KDL3. He swipes in front of him. It has low damage but has a windbox

Down Tilt: Balloon Burst. Kirby brings Triple Deluxe’s Circus to town! He makes a balloon and inflates it until it pops. Like in TD, it can change shape, though it has no impact on damage.

Dash Attack: Burning Dash. From more games than I can count, Fire’s dash attack/ Burning’s attack returns from Melee! It functions just as it does in the games, sending Kirby quite a bit further forward and dealing some Fire damage to whoever it hits.


Neutral Air: Twinkle Star. Same

Front/Back Air: Freezer Sparkle. From Ice Kirby’s midair attack in most Kirby Games, Kirby spews snow around him and spins rapidly. At higher percents it can freeze.

Up Air: Needle Stab. Coming from the rather forgettable Needle copy ability, Kirby stabs at the air above him.

Down Air: Stone. Near 1-to-1 his old Down-B from midair.


Up Smash: Geyser. Taken From Water from RTDL, it has a long hitbox right above Kirby.

Side Smash: Hammer. Similar to his old Side-Special, it does a lot of damage but has large lag.

Down Smash: Mirror Split: Mirror Kirby from Super Star and Robobot’s signature attack. Kirby has two Mirror images appear on both sides to deal damage. There’s decent range as well as invincibility frames while attacking


Neutral-B: Inhale. Changing this would be insane

Side B: Poison Ride. Using the Poison ability from Robobot, Kirby rides around on a Toxic pile of sludge like in Sonic’s Spin Dash, Yoshi's Egg Ride, and similar attacks. It’s slower than those attacks, but it leaves behind puddles of poison that deal damage.

Up B: Missile. Using the aforementioned Missile ability from Amazing Mirror, Kirby turns into a Missile in what can only be described as a supercharged variant of Villager’s Up B. Missile Kirby can dart around the stage quite easily, but he’s very difficult to control and he has no brakes.

Down B: Unstable Formula. Using the Doctor Copy ability from Robobot, Kirby starts to make a potion, randomly selected from four. It takes a few seconds to charge, but after that he can use it whenever. The fire one does the most damage, but has the smallest hitbox. The ice one has a larger hitbox and can Freeze, but deals less damage. The Electric one has 4 projectiles fall out of the bottle. Each projectile goes far, but does less damage. An opponent can get hit by multiple projectiles, if they touch all 4 it’s almost as much damage as the fire attack. The healing potion appears very infrequently, but heals 30%.

Final Smash: Hypernova. Using the Hypernova ability that debuted in Triple Deluxe, Kirby turns a rainbow color and starts inhaling rapidly, attempting to consume anything "close" to him (Close is about half of Palutena's Temple). If Kirby inhales someone, they take a lot of damage. Afterwards, Kirby spits out a giant star, which gets bigger depending on how many things he inhaled.

 

[Zeox]

And after the E3 direct, there will probably be a treehouse stream, so that means even more information about this smash.

 

[SquashiniKun]

Ok i'm calling it now, Smash 5 is probably gonna be delayed.

 

[Deleted member]

Predictions that I shall call a leak if they come true
-Ridley
-Rayman
-Mimikyu
-Saltlord aka FE character

 

[SuperMasterHand]

Ok i'm calling it now, Smash 5 is probably gonna be delayed.

I wouldn't mind, since it would mean it's even more a sequel and a complete game !
I'd rather wait half 2019 to get all the modes Smash 4 lacked

 

[Cosmic77]

I know this is a little random, but I'm really excited to see what Zelda looks like in this new Smash. BotW was probably my favorite portrayal of the character, and I can't wait to see what design they went with.

 

[Wyoming]

Ok i'm calling it now, Smash 5 is probably gonna be delayed.

This will depend on how far it is into development. Since it has a playable build I'd say the chances of that decrease significantly. Depends if Sakurai and his team run out of time for special features like a mode or a last minute character addition he didn't want to pass up o (aka: Brawl in a nutshell)

 

[T-Donor66]

And after the E3 direct, there will probably be a treehouse stream, so that means even more information about this smash.

Followed by the invitational tournament too!

 

[nuclearneo577]

So, we're finally here. See you all on the other side I suppose.

 

[SuperMasterHand]

If you want to be dramaticaly hyped for the countdown listen to this !
I really feel in less than 3 hours the world's gonna end, the internet will break
Stay strong !

 

[TheFritzle]

It really hasn't sunken in what I'm about to watch. This is going to be the longest three hours ever.

 

[Reality_Ciak]

Guys, I'm in. I made it to E3.

Spoiler

I made it to an E3 at least XD

 

[Cin726]

Final character wish list before the big event (alphabetical order):

Geno
King Boo
King K. Rool
Ridley or Sylux
Samurai Goroh
Shantae
Shovel Knight
Wolf

 

[Wyoming]

Is everyone an hour back or something? There's 2 hours and a half to go.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I'm hoping this will spawn a proper speculation era: Pic of the Day returning and so on. The direct information will be a much needed breath of fresh air, but I don't want this place to turn around in circles around it for a few months

Without Miiverse, the Pic of the Day could just be wishful thinking.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Without Miiverse, the Pic of the Day could just be wishful thinking.

Switch news feed or just use the official website (Dojo boys!).

Doesn't even need to be dojo like. The website got the potd just without the caption.

 

[Curious Villager]

I guess I'll make my own bingo card to pass the time between now and the stream, lets see if I can get a good template.

 

[PeridotGX]

Without Miiverse, the Pic of the Day could just be wishful thinking.

The switch has the News Feed. They could post it there (But maybe weekly so it doesn't clog it up as much.)

 

[SuperMasterHand]

Now that the day as come, I'm actually glad we didn't get any photo/video leaks, it's gonna be surprising whatever happens, even if some textleak are confirmed people will loose their mind !

 

[Superyoshiom]

I hope we get some first-party reveals. I have a weird feeling that we'll only get third parties this E3 for some stupid reason. Since Sonic and Mega Man are both in the game, I'm not interested in anything third-party, so some first party stuff would make me happy.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

This will probably be my last post before the E3 Nintendo Direct, but let's just hope that the wait was worth it.

 

[Pokechu]

okay guys lets see if any of us can do a gematsu

My "Unlikely" Predictions

Ridley
Captain Toad
Dixie Kong
New Third Party
