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.

Okay, someone remind me, because I can't for the life of me remember.

Back during 4's Build up, did characters like :4littlemac: and :rosalina: have ANY build up to their reveals? Or did they really just drop out of nowhere? I know most veterans didn't, but I mean newcomers. Like, any hints at all that there were characters coming soon either officially or unofficially? I know characters like Robin had a stream and a lot of others were shown off in directs/events, but yeah.
I think Rosalina arguably had things like Super Mario 3D World and a few Mario spin-off appearences prior to her reveal?

Now can Ike grab the ledge with Aether backwards again like in Brawl? is all I wanna know for Ike's mediocre recovery. I already know I'm gonna have to play around the fact that it is mediocre/bad when I use him because I'm very familiar with it.

Referencing the MGS3 Ladder kinda makes me want this version of Snake Eater in Smash:
For those unaware, or too lazy or unable to watch the video, it's the version of Snake Eater used for the final fight against the Boss, it starts with an instrumental (actually it starts with about 5 minutes of silence), then transitions into the vocal theme as your time limit draws nearer.

Boss wouldn't be a bad echo...

Also dumb question but would anyone want King Hippo to fight King K Rool?

Only if K Rool gets his boxer alt. I'd love to have 8-player villain only Smash.

With these guys it'd be enough:
:ultbowser::ultbowserjr::ultganondorf::ultdarkpit::ultridley::ultwolf:
I guess these other ones could count, but they feel iffy on if they are really villains:
:ultkingdedede::ultmetaknight::ultmewtwo::ultwario::ultpichu:

Victory Quote v. Snake: "Go home, Jack."

Thought of a great Event Match.
You have 10 minutes, knockback is set to minimum for both players. You play as Snake against Zero Suit Samus (White alt.) and have to KO her before time runs out or she KOs you. At 5 minutes, Snake Eater's instrumental starts playing...

Although very unlikely, I would LOVE The Boss as an Echo, especially if they gave us Big Boss as a costume as Snake since you don't even have to change his voice. Honestly I would be happy with any metal gear representation besides metal gear survive.

It's Heavy Armor actually. You can break through Yoshi's Double Jump with attacks that have enough knockback (I don't remember the threshold though).

So no, it's not enough...
My mistake I don't play vs Yoshi enough or as him that much.

I find him frustrating to fight though.

Yoshi should get his tether tongue. It was even in Odyssey and it was awesome.

I don't really pay any attention to Yoshi analysis. Do we know for sure he doesn't have it?

I liked this one I found yesterday a lot and I don't think anyone's shared it yet.
View attachment 150602
Main reason I like it is because it obviously implies Dark Matter would get in but the "hints" have a bunch of weird and absurd things (Sliced Apple? House? Cards?), it kind of makes it fun to think about what those could mean even though it's obviously fake.

Inb4 "Everyone is here" extends to the planned characters as well.
Next time you see something like this tag me please? I'm trying my best to keep up with every leak but some are sure to slip through, like this one.

Could you also link the thread if you have it? I can't seem to find it.

I like animal crossing someone sell me on the puppy waifu.
Gonna add to this

-Mii costume
- Important character
-Not an AT as far as we know.

My only hurdle is that :ultvillager: covers A LOT of AC stuff.

A way too common outlook imo. People just assume Yoshi is fine the way he is and just leave the character in the backburner as a result...
I'll try to learn him more since I wanna play around with like everyone in this game.

Bouncing Eggs seem cool.

I remember that Rosalinas reveal was coupled with the return of Mario Kart 8 news, as Mario Kart 8 had been absent since E3 (and this was the december direct of the same year that both games had been revealed).

We don't know for sure because he's not been shown off all that well. I just REALLY hope they're holding Yoshi off for a reason...

I'd just like to point out how incredibly similar the White alt of Zero Suit Samus is to The Boss' sneaking suit.
It's like, the same shades of grey and white. XD

I saw another one earlier today that had Celica, but I don't know if 4chan has a search feature to find it.

Yes! Please do it Sakurai! And please put Captain N in Smash as the first non-video game character.
I mean, very technically, the Game and Watch games aren't video games, they're dedicated handheld electronic games.

So Mr. Game and Watch is technically our first non-video game character. Fun fact of the day :upsidedown:

And R.O.B. is technically a video game accessory/"controller" but you already knew that.

can someone make a thread so we can begin the discussion on this competitive stage situation? I think some of the "top players" will try to influence it so a lot of stages get arbitrarily banned. and unlike smash 4 customs i do not want "i dont want to learn MUs" to even be considered a valid point inevitable when it is said by someone.

ah ballot conspirators may you never die. you give me my daily supply of salt.
I believe Seasonal stage lists will the a thing in where stages rotate every so often.

Could Agumon be our second (third after R.O.B)? Digimon was a V-pet, a type of electronic game.

Also, I've just realized Little Mac can now side B into up B.
Hes the most terrifying thing in the game tbh. The directional airdodge is godlike for him, too.


.....meanwhile Fox.....why they gotta do him like that....
