Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Everyone is back!

Does this mean Tabuu as well?

Probably not. If Adventure mode returns, I seriously doubt that it'll be anything like Subspace Emissary.

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

I am starting to think Waluigi will be playable.

• He must have been really high on the ballot.
• Sakurai is sneaky.
• Waluigi is sneaky.
• The game displayed here is a demo build.
• Requested character Daisy got in and Toad now helps Peach fight during throws.

you're giving me ptsd back to the ridley shadow

 

[Bowserlick]

Stage 2: Denial

Stage 5: Acceptance

I accept that Sakurai initially tricked us and Waluigi will be playable.

 

[osby]

Probably not. If Adventure mode returns, I seriously doubt that it'll be anything like Subspace Emissary.

Unless there is an "All of the Previous Bosses Rush", which can be cool.

 

[Pacack]

So Sakurai basically worked on two games at the same time.

If that is true then this means that we are getting a lot more new content and newcomers than everyone expected. Elma and Rex/Pyra probably are more likely than ever. Plus 4-years is double the amount of time developed for a Smash game, we could even get a story mode within that time.

With all characters and most if not all stages returning as well....I could actually see that happening.

 

[Double0Groove]

Well, I'm still gunning for Sora joining Smash Bros. and recently we received confirmation that Disney isn't against this idea at all! We also received undeniable confirmation that Disney owns 100% of the rights to Sora, so the fear of Nintendo having to pay 2 companies for the character can be thrown right out the window! To anybody who supports #Sora4smash or even thinks this would be a cool inclusion, this is now your chance! It's too late for him to join the vanilla version of SSBU, but in the event that they bring back DLC for highly requested characters, you can let Disney, Square Enix, Nintendo, and/or Sora Ltd. know ahead of time that we want our boy to join the roster!

Confirmation comes in the way of this video where the youtuber explains his interview with a representative from Disney. Feel free to watch the whole thing if you'd like:

Stage 5: Acceptance

I accept that Sakurai initially tricked us and Waluigi will be playable.

I'm sorry about the disconfirmation, man, but...really? Sakurai's not that kind of a troll. He's the "Zero Suit Samus had been removed...lol jk" or "The End. (Just Kidding.)" type. He doesn't tease people over characters because he knows they're invested.

Lol ok dude, just know that you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
Coming from someone who wants him as well.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Unless there is an "All of the Previous Bosses Rush", which can be cool.

It's probably not worth the effort to be bringing back Galleom, Duon, and Tabuu though. Petey Piranha, Rayquaza, and Porky could still maintain their boss status, but the former will need to do more than cage swinging.

Ridley got the playable status, so it makes little sense to see him as a boss as well, unless we're talking about Other M Ridley.

 

[TonyMyOnly]

Ridley is playable now therefore the Shadow fakeout was taken to the extreme and he was made an actual stage hazard just to **** with us. I'm a genius

 

[Maxoxpower]

hey guys ! Like i said in k.rool main topic.


Even Nairo want and know K.ROOL is NUMBER 1! :-)

We’ve talked about a couple weeks back. Sora seems more likely now that it’s been cleared up. But we have to wait and see who’s the third party for this game.

 

[MamaLuigi123456]

I think we found our new Ridley fanbase...

 

[Bradli Wartooth]

I think we found our new Ridley fanbase...

I had that thought after Ridley was revealed and Waluigi was CONFIRMED as an assist trophy. He's the new character that the West is going to ***** and moan about til he's playable. People just can't ever be pleased

I think the biggest issue when it comes to sora is that you wouldn't be able to incorporate donald and goofy without paying an absurd amount of money for them. Those guys and the general disney half of kingdom hearts are kind of important when it comes to properly representing kingdom hearts tbh

 

[True Blue Warrior]

I think we found our new Ridley fanbase...

Nah, Waluigi isn't comparable to Ridley as he doesn't have his equivalent to Ridley's "Too Big" meme. That and the Ridley support base has been lasting since 2001.

 

[Bowserlick]

I think we found our new Ridley fanbase...

Purple sticks together.

 

[Opossum]

I think we found our new Ridley fanbase...

Being purple was the first sign.

 

[Bradli Wartooth]

"Waluigi is too spin-off"

When he gets in, "Waluigi spins the odds in his favor!" which is also a play on Waluigi cheats

 

[PlayfulMushroom]

I feel as if there's barely any hype for this game. The months leading up to Smash 4 was much more intense and the DLC season was something else entirely.

Melee clone returns in Smash 4, the entire internet explodes. Reaction videos gets millions of views.

All previous characters return in Smash 5, barely anyone cares. "Oh, okay. Cool", "That's neat", et cetera.

This entire thing feels like a boring rehash of Smash 4 and I think it's going to be a major financial disappointment for Nintendo. In my opinion there doesn't seem to be enough new content to warrant a new literation of Smash on the Switch.

 

[Deleted member]

He does, actually.

"Just because you try hard doesn't mean you'll make it into the battle"

 

[Dragoncharystary]

Alright here's a quick thought on the BOTW stage. Anyone else think that it could be one of those stages that changes up a little every time you play it? What I mean by that is whenever you choose the stage, it selects from 3 or 4 different towers in BOTW to play on. The stage plays identical in all variations except it has a different background and different background character. We could have the Lanayru Tower with Sidon in the background, the Tabantha Tower with Teba in the Background, the Gerudo Tower with Kass in the background (He was there in the game), etc. It's really unlikely but it's possible the demo version just shows us one version of the stage.

 

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

Ohhhhhhhh don't be so sure.

I may have """""predicted""""" Ridley to appear in Smash Bros, but now all the negative comments on my videos are geared towards Waluigi.

"Pfft, idiot! Waluigi can't be playable, he's never been in a MAIN Mario game! He can't even be a Wario character; he'll NEVER be in Smash Bros."

The Smash Ultimate video that Nintendo uploaded two days ago on YouTube has over 2 million views.

 

[MysticKnives]

Not sure why, but I've been listening to this song all day. It really gives off that feeling of bringing everything and everyone together for this Smash game. Feels very uplifting, emotional, and pleasant. Especially the first 40 seconds of it.

Every Smash game initially called "just like previous one".

But wasn't it called the Great Plateau Tower, rather than, say, Sheikah Tower?

 

[Double0Groove]

This is more of a rallying cry than a discussion starter.

Buuuut, I have to say this, Donald and Goofy are not at all required to be with Sora. Not even as trophy support. If they were that important, they would've been your support characters in Kingdom Hearts 3D instead of dream eaters. This isn't really an issue.

You're allowed to feel and think whatever you want, but to say his game has no hype surrounding it and that 'nobody cares' is simply incorrect and ignorant. Just because you're salty about fewer newcomers doesn't mean you have to say the game will flop, come on

 

[SlickWylde]

It is weird how big the outcry for Ridley was compared to the general "Meh" attitude now. People always want the next thing. I guarantee you if Waluigi was announced, people on here would be complaining that another character didn't make it in, and would act like "Well duh we already knew Waluigi was in, even though I acted like it would be a huge deal if he got in over the past 5 years"

PlayfulMushroom I've seen tons of hype. Also, I have actually seen hype for this among my friends who own Switch's and want to get it. I was the only person in my group to have Smash 4.

Considering how well the Switch is selling, it's actually primed to do quite well. You may be right - but I'd be surprised.

With how much I hated the bulky Wii U, I would take a straight port on the Switch, it's just so much more convenient to play.

Everything I've seen from pretty much the whole internet is hype. The only people who aren't hyped are the people who actually wanted cuts and were happy characters were regulated to one game. Well, and the Melee fanbase which still refuses to move on from a 17 year old, heavily dated title.

on another note can someone link me a source to the Bandanna Waddle Dee datamine?

I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm ****ing hype.

"This game is gonna be unsuccessful financially." Dude....it was like one of 5 widely successful titles on the WII U (which says a lot considering the terrible reception of the Wii U)! This is the Switch and its one of the most recognizable game series of all time. Its going to be a success.

This is why speculation isn't for everyone. Some people set their expectations WAY too high. The game is great. Melee players will still play Melee but everyone else is getting this game.

Have you SEEN the reactions to Snake alone. Plus the Wii U bombing means not a lot of people played Smash 4 and thus would likely want to pick this up on the Switch

 

[Dragoncharystary]

Yeah I noticed that too. That's why I said it's unlikely but Sakurai could still be fooling us with a cool little detail like that.

People are always going to focus on what ISN'T in the game.

Last look at Smash on Treehouse.

Going over changes in Ganondorf and Link right now.

Can't speak for others, but I absolutely FREAKED OUT at the prospect of all veterans returning. So did my friend LordJackal and our other friend Tyler. We all recorded our reactions and we were blown away.

Honestly, I was much more excited by that than Ridley.

 

[Pacack]

Regarding the game "not being successful" financially, note that Smash Bros. Ultimate is already out of stock on Amazon.
