Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[SirCamp]

Wow uh, I went into this not expecting a whole lot, and still came out disappointed. I know I know, everyone should be happy, but he just confirmed that they're doing everything that I don't want. Few new characters, everyone back, Daisy, Bomberman as an assist trophy, Ridley. Literally everything ranges from something I actively don't want to at best something I don't care about (Daisy and Ridley). The fact that we have 3 Links (billed as a good thing during the direct) is honestly just silly to me and a little insulting to every other Zelda character. And Bomberman as an assist trophy is actually insulting tbh. The mechanics seem good maybe, but I don't feel like commenting on that really since I haven't played.

Also Pichu back. Really? Ugh. Gross.

But all of that is fine really if they added new characters too, but based on what Sakurai said it sounds like we're getting all the old characters instead of many new ones. Aka a whole bunch of characters I don't like/want in exchange for all my hopes and dreams. lol


Anyway sorry, I'm in my feels. I really went in not expecting a whole lot, but this is still somehow worse than I thought possible.

 

[TheFritzle]

I was really confident in Waluigi and Takamaru...
I'm now thinking these newcomers are going to be harder to predict

 

[FantasyBlade]

I’m so so so happy to have Snake back and Ridley in. This is amazing.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I...

I can play as Ivysaur in an official Smash game again.

THE PRESIDENT IS COMING BACK BOYS!

 

[eltacoenojado]

I'm so freaking excited for Super Smash Bros Ultimate!! It's gonna be a long wait till December!
Welcome back Wolf!!! And Ridley looks great!!!

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

WOW. And to think I was losing interest in this game. With the roster and the gameplay mechanics, I think I'm 100% on board with this.

...

HOLY CRAP THIS IS REALLY A GAME! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!

I have to say, though, the thing I'm the happiest about, aside from the return of Miis and them becoming more standardized, is the NAME.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. ULTIMATE. None of that lazy "For Nintendo Switch" BS.

Also, I think of a few certain people who are gonna be super happy about Red and Leaf.

 

[Darkraid]

Smash Bros Ultimate newcomers in a nutshell.

 

[Chandeelure]

WHERE IS STEENEE, SAKURAI?!

 

[SuperSmashStephen]

Congrats to Daisy and Ridley supporters!

I’d like to formally apologize for any disbelief I have over the years.

Also, EVERYONE EVER IS IN THAT’S AMAZING!

Lastly, I’m sad to see Takamaru deconfirmed...however, Isabelle wasn’t shown. THERE IS STILL HOPE.

P.S. Actual lastly, the “don’t expect many newcomers.” statement was a little disheartening. I understand why, but I’m hoping we still atleast get 10-12. And I know DLC is still very much possible.

 

[RileyXY1]

WHERE IS STEENEE, SAKURAI?!

That leak is fake. Vergeben is also fake, because Simon Belmont wasn't announced.

 

[Polan]

simon belmont is 100 an invitational reveal right? also did mario get gibbed in ridley's trailer?

 

[Blargg888]

Ah, glad we're getting confirmation on Nintendog's new Breed right now.

 

[Captain Fun]

Unbelievable. This roster looks amazing, even with few comparatively few newcomers.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

So they implied there won't be many newcomers. How many more do you guys expect?

 

[Zeox]

Basically, Vergeben leak was right (so I guess we will get Simon Belmont), but the imgur leak got deconfirmed because takamaru got deconfirmed.

 

[TheFritzle]

I thought this was a great E3 for Smash, but was honestly really weak overall.

 

[Zinith]

I hear Xander Mobius as the announcer. That marks the first time they kept an announcer inbetween games.

It looks like Yoshi is not a playable character in the showfloor. BOOO!!

 

[Hinata]

Did anyone else see Link fire a projectile off his F-Smash?

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

So since Sakurai doesn't care about consistency between the Zelda characters anymore can I please get my Impa? They can even do the skyward sword version that would be dope

 

[Deleted member]

No Simon Belmont huh? Well.


As promised:

Spoiler

 

[TheFritzle]

Oh god that Ridley amiibo is a feast for the eyes.

 

[Staarih]

First I was like what (Daisy??) but now I’m like oh my god this is awesome (Ridley). Few newcomers were expected I guess... but POKEMON TRAINER IS BACK.

Also Ridley amiibo. I need it.

 

[TheWozny]

Okay I know everyone is hyped and all but does the game look a little slow to some people.

Looks like a heavier Smash 4

 

[Chandeelure]

The best character reveal after Ridley was Pichu.

I'm not kidding.

I'm so happy!

Also Bandana Dee didn't appear as an AT or Dedede's Final Smash!

 

[Deathcarter]

So hyped to see everybody confirmed to return. I thought that Ivysaur would never come back! And Ridley here at last!

Sakurai, you're amazing!!!

 

[Pazzo.]

See? Ridley is shown, self destruction.

He is a Photoshopped Little Mac.


But seriously, GET HYPE, IT'S A PORT OF ALL 4 SMASH GAMES BOIS. ALL FOUR + NEW CHARACTERS, RIDLEY, AND ****ING DAISY, I'LL NEED TO EAT A SHOE NOW.

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

I'm honestly in disbelief that daisy was added but waluigi is still an assist tbh...

 

[Tree Gelbman]

So they implied there won't be many newcomers. How many more do you guys expect?

I don't have a clue.

I think 10? I don't see us getting past that.

 

[Darkraid]

Basically, Vergeben leak was right (so I guess we will get Simon Belmont), but the imgur leak got deconfirmed because takamaru got deconfirmed.

Never believed that for a second. It was piggybacking the almighty Vergeben

 

[So_many_mails]

The amiibo stand they showed it on has two stands left over! They'll probably announce two more characters and then put them there for display!

 

[Pakky]

two more newcomers are coming empty amiibo stands!

 

[Chandeelure]

Bayonetta looks so happy in her artwork, I love it!

 

[CannonStreak]

That was a great Direct! I loved every bit of the Smash Bros part of it! I love that Wolf is coming back, and Ridley looks cool as well! Sucks it is coming out in December, though, but hey, what can you do?

 

[Zinith]

The CSS is a little worrying. It's almost a carbon copy of the Wii U one. And now it looks like it's ordered by character appearance in Smash rather than by series. I know I've said the OG 8 should get priority on the CSS in the past, but not like this...

 

[Pokechu]

Since our three newcomers so far are getting amiibo, do you all think returning veterans such as Wolf will get amiibo?

 

[Pazzo.]

Sakurai is better than all you scrubs, lol.

I like the Grim Blaster Inkling! Glad Pokemon Trainer's back too.

 

[Deleted member]

I had a feeling that at least the “no cuts” part of the rumor would be true, but I didn’t think it would mean that EVER single character from the ENTIRE SERIES would return. Holy cow!

 

[Cosmic77]

Well, well, well. Guess he wasn't too big after all.

(Condolences to Waluigi supporters. Never though we'd get Daisy before him.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

As a major G&W Fan. I'm excited for Game and Watches Changes.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

My guess on who the remaining characters will be (not accounting for echo fighters).
