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.

I have a question.
Out of all the stages that haven't been confirmed yet, which one would you all consider to be "the worst"?
Edit: I'm asking this because I haven't played every Smash game, and I want to know that.
Probably Mario Bros (Brawl)
Here's a really big question for everyone:
Are you going to buy Smash Ultimate Physically or Digitally?

I'm going to buy it physically, because 1. i dont have bank-powered plastic cards and i don't want to get an e-shop card and 2. i want to complete my physical collection of the smash games. The only one I actually don't have is 4 Wii U, but since I have 4 3DS I'm gonna count it for all of 4 anyway. :p
Physical. I go physical for AAA games unless there's an advantage for digital (I got Mario and Rabbids digital during a sale, but that's the only one).

I'd say these ones are the worst and can stay gone for all I care:

- Mushroom Kingdom (Melee)
- Yoshi's Island (Melee)
- Icicle Mountain (Melee)
- Rainbow Cruise (Melee)
- Rumble Falls (Brawl) (worst stage ever created)

Hanenbow and Mario Bros. (both from Brawl) are also considered awful, but I kinda like those two.

Rumble Falls, and that's a shame too because that stage has Stickerbush Symphony

I'm going digital. Its just too convenient. Only issue is I gotta find a larger SD card then the one I have but its worth it.

Also, if I always go digital then I never support Gamestop and thats nice.

I'm buying physical. Feels so much better to hold those sweet Nintendo Switch cartridges in your hands.

Strange to see that Daisy came before Marth and Yoshi and that Corrin is STILL the newest fighter.
Thanks for reminding me of another reason why I want a Pokemon from Gen VII.

Seriously, there's something morally wrong with Corrin still being the newest character on the base roster.

I'd like a character from a new IP to have to honour but it seems hard.

Man, I use to want Sukapon in Smash a lot. Just getting in as an Assist trophy is enough for me.

Also just noticed Sukapon has an outline.

Sukapon has been the only disconfirmation that I've been sad about. He would have been a great retro character, seeing as he represents one of Nintendo's first fighting games. Glad to see him in a semi-sizeable role though!
Plus if anyone argues about whether they'd get Rayman's physics right (assuming they're willing to break the overseas third-party boundary), we can simply point to him.

Makes me wonder how all star mode will be this time.
"It's-a-me, Mario! I'm-a-gonna kick your ***!" Also, it would be uncanny for the strongest fighter at the end to pretty much be a stick figure with low frames.

Ice Climbers Melee stage.

I appreciate the idea behind it but it just wasn't fun.

The metal cave from 64 and the unique to Subspace one v one stages would be cool extras.
I would like to see Mushroom Kingdom from Melee Adventure Mode get in Smash Ultimate as a new side-scrolling stage.


I also would like to see Underground Maze from Melee Adventure Mode get in Smash Ultimate as a new Great Cave Offensive stage.

Since Snake and the KI crew coexist now, I have to wonder how their respective codecs and Palutena's Guidances about the other party will be like on their stages. Besides being very meta, that is.
Maybe Viridi gives info on Pit and Palutena gives info on Dark Pit. Enemy of my enemy...

Is that the first pikimin stage from brawl?
Yes but we already knew about that one.

What strikes me as odd is for all the Super Mario Bros Stages we've seen, there's only be ONE 3DS one

We haven't seen Golden Plains, we haven't seen Paper Mario and we haven't seen Rainbow Road.

I'm honestly used to playing the 3DS version so much that I have no qualms with how big the Switch's handheld screen size is. I usually play handheld more than I do on my TV. :oneeye:
Yes but did you play with 7 other people looking at the same screen with you? Also you would have to back away from your screen about 4 feet to so that you won't be in anyone's way. Sounds like fun doesn't it?

Random idea, if Paper Mario is a new character, would he be given his own symbol?

As much as I loathe to acknowledge that game, I think the best symbol would be a mushroom, that looks like it's been peeled off like a sticker.

Mei Ling: Look, Snake, it's Yoshi! Isn't he adorable?

Snake: I refuse to call him adorable, especially when nearly everything he eats comes out as an egg. His digestive system is the furthest thing from being normal.

Mei Ling: Snake, why are you so worried about that stuff? Eggs or not, he's super cute!

Snake: Not to mention, he also uses his tongue to grab people to eat, which is already disgusting without the egg part...

Mei Ling: Knock it off! *sigh* One day I'll get to ride a Yoshi, but until then, I guess I'm stuck with you talking about its digestive system...

Snake: Just the thought of being eaten alive by a Yoshi still creeps me out regardless of how "cute" it is.

Mei Ling: *groan* ...

Honestly, she has always been on my top 10 list of characters I wanted. I was slightly disappointed but it's great to see her get representation after all these years.

From a sticker in Brawl to having a 3D model, not a bad come up.

(I would have liked Sukapon playable as well :( )

That's actually a good point! Hmmm can we grab assist trophies? I ask because I know a point brought up was how would Snake "choke" Rayman. Personally I don't think it's an issue because that animation isn't perfect anyway but if you can grab assist trophies than Sukapon could be an example.

God Mario had a lot of stages. I really hope we get the Paper Mario one and Rainbow Road. Although we already have two Mario Kart stages right? (Or was the Mario Kart 8 stage not confirmed yet?) Would be a lot of Mario Kart representation lol.

SIDE NOTE, we have like 80 or so stages confirmed right? Then I'm predicting 100 stages as a selling point, probably another 5-10 returning and the rest new.

You can, as seen in ROBs character trailer where he grabs and throws none other than Sukapon.

It’s Smash Bros, so it needs to b bought physically to look at their sexy game cover

I've never understood why people do this, but a lot of times you can find the box online for sale. So that might be the option for you lol.

Even I don't understand why I do it. Let me give you a window into my addiction

In the pre smash 4 era, I imported a Japanese 3DS to download the game a bit earlier. Then bought it again on my 3DS physically. Then downloaded it to my 3DS. I also own a physical Wii U edition. I also collected every smash 4 amiibo.

Smash is the game the decimates my wallet D:

Hanenbow, Mario Bros., and Icicle Mountain are all stages that come to mind. Those have always been unpopular.

Personally, I hated Dream Land from Smash 3DS. Such an ugly stage.

I didn't purchase Smash 4 multiple times, but I did start a similar unhealthy addiction with amiibo thanks to Smash. I have every single amiibo mint in the box, none of which are imported. I'm starting to run out of room for these things, but I can't stop. How can I possibly say no to a Ridley and Pokemon Trainer amiibo!?

Oh I meant I didn't understand why people sold the boxes without the games, but now I know it's for people like you lol.

I've had friends who have done simialr things to you, doesn't mean I understand it lol, but I know it happens.

Oh, I loved the amiibo. Took ages to get all of them (thank you German relatives), but the only ones I’m missing were the last wave since I stopped playing Smash before the Bayo/Corrin DLC released.

Sm4sh really didn’t have a long life, especially for solo players.

Was hoping the new character art would be designed around amiibo and give all characters a solid foundation pose, but I think they learned that clear plastic supports are better than other colors.

I really want to get a whole new set now that they all have new art. Especially hoping that all three of the Trainer’s mons gets a separate amiibo, since I’d love a Squirtle.

I remember when I intended to buy every Smash amiibo, lol.
I don't think I'll even be buying one amiibo this time...

These are actually some great ideas. I especially agree with the Underground maze akin to Zelda.

The Charizard amiibo will still be compatible with Ultimate, but we're not sure how Pokemon Trainer will be represented. We're getting something new regardless.

There's three different scenarios (assuming Charizard doesn't get another amiibo).
  1. Pokemon Trainer gets an amiibo
  2. Ivysaur and Squirtle get an amiibo
  3. We get a bundle with the Trainer, Ivysaur, and Squirtle
