Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

Never played a Metroid game. are they really hard? i kinda suck at games despite playing for years and stuff like dark souls make me want to cry.
Though I might pick up Prime 4.
Challenging at first, but you get used to it. That is, until they pull some really twisted deviant stuff that you have to figure out just when you think you got used to everything. I first experienced Metroid through a used copy of Prime 1 on GCN I got for my 11th birthday. The thing was only 3 bucks, a damn steal if I ever saw one. Look up Prime's costs today and you'll be busting out almost triple digits sometimes.

You could also just get the Prime trilogy from the Wii U E-Shop I think, but I don't have a Wii U so don't quote me on that.

I'd have Mona or Jimmy T replace Ashley as an assist if she truly is playable.

Jimmy T should just have him come out and dance with a bunch of cats like this:



It'd be useless, but it'd be such a fun appearance. More assist trophies could really do ''nothing." and just be like ''I am here as well."

Mocking any character being in Smash is childish.

Imagine being a Bayonetta fan and having to put up with what people say about her in Smash.

It's tiresome, contributes nothing positive to discussion (unless you're talking about her gameplay needing tweaks in a calm and collected manner) and just makes you look like a butt.

Looking like a butt has never stopped any internet goer.
In fact, I'd go as far as to say that is the point sometimes.

I mock Kamui/Corrin for being the most boring protagonist (or maybe even character for that matter) in FE history.

Someone has the right to hate a character just as much as someone has the right to love a character.

So what you're saying is, it's ok to be toxic.

Guess you agree with the people who harassed Sakurai then.

No. I'm saying:
And destiny is people on the internet acting like asshats and lacking/ignoring self-awareness.

In 2015, Sakurai revealed in an interview that he's aware of Ashley popularity among the Smash community.

Always in 2015, Sakurai started designing Smash Ultimate and its roster.


I want to B E L I E V E.

I'll be honest, I'll miss TP Ganon. I think he had a good design going. Maybe they'll make an Alph of him and make him an alt. costume. :4ganondorf:

Sitting here, I seriously wonder how I got through Brawl and Smash 4 speculation.

.....then I remember that we actually had a reason to look forward to the PotD since whatever it was, it most likely was going to be new.


Honestly, as excited as I am for Ultimate, I feel incredibly numb to speculation this time, because there's just no reason to be excited.


We know everyone's returning, which is amazing, but when it comes to actual 'new' stuff to see on it site, they can drag this on for a loooooooooong time.

The problem on the internet is? A lot of people hate a character that they truly have no experience with?

If you've never watched the movie/tv show/read the book/played the game the character stars in and you're hating before giving a chance?

Yes, you just look like a butt.

If you have a valid point of opinion after experiencing the character and you voice it in a good manner without resorting to mockery and name calling?

More power to you.

It’s ok to express dislike a character and all but....

Stands on mod podium

...Attacking, flaming, trolling, or insulting a character and it’s fanbase is strictly against both the Smashboards and Smash Ultimate Rules. If you have nothing nice to say and know it will offend/cause flame wars, then keep it to yourself. You can not like a character but you don’t have to be a **** about it.

...Gets off mod podium

I REEEEAAAAALLY don’t like the idea of Steve? playable due in part that I would prefer Banjo and Kazooie or Master Chief and I don’t play Minecraft/thinks it’s for little kids BUT I do recognize that Minecraft is an extremely popular franchise - especially in Japan despite it being western and he seems to have some moveset potential. Plus, a Minecraft stage would be pretty cool.

Is it really that popular in the East?
Gee, now I wonder how the Japanese Minecraft Youtube market is doing.

Dude, I feel like I'm in such a minority in liking TP Ganondorf more.

That guy really did feel like an evil tyrant meant to be king, while OoT Ganondorf felt more like a warlock that rose to power.
TP Ganondorf uses the sword of light that's stabbed through his chest as his main weapon for crying out loud. Now that's pretty damn metal.

And man, he had one of the most brutal Ganondorf death scenes.

Honestly people don't need a reason to dislike a character any more than they need one to like one. Maybe they remind you of someone you don't like or just have a boring design. You don't have to play the game to not want someone in smash. No one is condoning attacking other people for their likes, but disliking a character and not wanting them in smash is perfectly fine

I try to teach my students “Arts and Crafts” but then they automatically scream out “Minecraft!” Extremely popular might of been a stretch but it’s pretty damn popular from what I can gather.

It dominated the Google Search records for a while until Fortnite recently usurped it as the most searched game. That's pretty telling.

EDIT: I'm tired. It beat out Minecraft on YouTube's algorithm or whatever, which is a huge feat considering how Minecraft singlehandely dominated such a major social media app for years.

That and pubg. I’ve been seeing pubg commercials a lot as of late.

Time does not make a character any less crappy, my guy.

Of course, I'm not going to take away the fun of those who genuinely like the character, and I still understand why she was in Smash, but etc etc we've been down this road a dozen times before.

:ness:

The Vita version of Minecraft was the first title published by Sony to sell over 1 million copies in Japan in over 10 years.

It was also the number one downlaoded title for the Nintendo Switch in Japan.

I wish I hadn't sold my gamecube over a decade ago. I bought the Prime trilogy for the Wii, but since it forces you to use the Wii Remote I can't bring myself to play it since the controls become so wonky in translation.

To be fair, the Fortnite avatar does have moveset potential and the game is more of a toon-y kind of graphic so it could fit...

Why I'm even remotely giving it a chance is beyond me.

Mocking any character being in Smash is childish.

Imagine being a Bayonetta fan and having to put up with what people say about her in Smash.

It's tiresome, contributes nothing positive to discussion (unless you're talking about her gameplay needing tweaks in a calm and collected manner) and just makes you look like a butt.
lmao what do you mean 'imagine'? I saw people screaming "**** YOU *****" while screaming in rage at her return
