Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Zinith]

If Smash was a dating sim. game, would that change the characters that you want to be in smash?

I want Boshi, so.... gee I don't know. I think he'd be good at dating

Just so everyone knows, I will be meeting Charles Martinet today, so if anyone has any quick questions for him, I'll ask and give you his response. (I have nothing, so I'll at least try to be helpful to the community.) If anybody actually cares, I'll pick out the 3 questions I find the most interesting.

Maybe it's a bit off topic, but eh.

Ask him what his favorite non-Nintendo role has been.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

The only thing I think Sonic really need changed is replacing one of his B moves with Light Speed Dash.

Also, I don't think we are getting any FE characters as DLC.

What were his inspirations behind the voices of the Mario Bros. and Wario Bros.?

That's awesome!

I don't have any questions, but he's voiced so many major Nintendo characters (and Paarthurnax in Skyrim ) so I'd just want to thank him!

There's a lot more that could be changed for sonic

Ask him what he thinks of the idea of Waluigi becoming playable in Smash.
...don't give me that look!

Don't feed the delusions like Reggie.

 

[Deleted member]

Don't feed the delusions like Reggie.

But I'm super curious to know what he thinks of the whole thing.
If that gives them false hope then that's on them, not me.

 

[Nani?]

Ask him what he thinks of the idea of Waluigi becoming playable in Smash.
...don't give me that look!

I would, except I wanted to him that too.

Anyways, the question-thing is done. The questions that will get asked are.

"What do you think of Waluigi not being in Smash?"

"What are Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi's favorite snacks?"

and...

"What is the worst character you voiced?"

Thans everyone! I'll try to get a response by today.

 

[92MilesPrower]

I just came in 3 minutes too late, I was gonna suggest this/these question(s) for Charles: Growing up, what did you originally want to do? Did you ever think you'd be the voice actor for the most famous video game character of all time?

That's a really good question actually. Nani? could replace my question for this one

R.I.P. Sorry buddy. Like Roadhog or Symmetra? I'm meeting them too.

Oh! Sure I will!

 

[Will]

Just replace Corrin cut Corrin take off Corrin retcon Corrin being in Smash trade Lucina and Corrin for add Hector or any other unique not-sword/tome user and you're good on FE for the rest of eternity. As long as its not an ad for Full House: Fire Emblem edition (if they don't use swords though that's a different story).

 

[92MilesPrower]

I guess I'm that good at coming up with questions, haha. I'm guessing you're going to a convention or something where Charles will have a booth and/or a panel? I know Charles was at Too Many Games last weekend with both, I wanted to go to TMG for multiple reasons but I didn't get the chance.

 

[Imadethistoseealeak]

Yeah I agree, Corrin was revealed at the wrong time and circumstance.

But I feel that Spring Man is going to be a character that people aren’t going to care about, or would rather have some other character instead of them.

Rex and Pyra have many people supporting them because they generally like them as characters. Spring Man... not so much, and with limited newcomer slots I’m not sure about an ARMS rep for DLC. Especially if people aren’t going to be willing to pay for.

So besides people buying dlc because it's smash (I imagine I'm not the minority in that I bought every character to have a complete roster), you brought up a point that helps my girl out. Nintendo might want to rep ARMS but they also might want to use a character who will sell, a popular character. Soringman is an obvious rep choice but he might not sell as well as hmmmm let's say Twintelle Ok I have my new hope for her lol.

If Smash was a dating sim. game, would that change the characters that you want to be in smash?

I mean...I want Niles from Fire Emblem Fates in the game already but I also know he has a 0.01% chance so, like no but I guess I would be a more active supporter of him.

worse comes to worse I got ridley

*AUX CALL PUSH SELECT*

Snake: Did Bowser have a kid or something? That turtle in the smiley face hovercraft looks kind of similar to him...

Otacon: Yes, Bowser does have a biological son, as well as seven adopted children. Whoever you're facing right now is one of them, and they're very dangerous, the Junior Clown Car they're in is loaded with weaponry like drills, cannons, buzzsaws, and wrecking balls.

Snake: Interesting... But how did they manage to fit so many things into that tiny vehicle?

Otacon: ...I don't think we should question that... Anyways, be careful around them, you never know what item will come out of the Junior Clown Car next. It could even be a giant tongue.

Snake: Giant tongue? Great, I hate having to constantly take showers after these fights... Third time today, even.

(Note: This codec was made with the fact that Junior's alts are all the Koopalings in mind. I'm not gonna make a codec for each, nor am I making a codec for just Junior, as it won't work with the Koopalings.)

 

[P.Kat]

I feel so out of place on this thread. Everyone here wants a new PokeMon fighter, an ARMS rep, (anime guy/girl), and Simon suddenly because of Vergeben, and I'm just sittin' here with my bois K.Rool and Geno wonderin' where all the support for guys like these went. Is it because they're expected at this point, or...?

It's still there, though they're talked about here and there it's still there it's probably because people have already talked about their chances so many time and are considered a pretty popular preference for newcomers. They aren't characters I'm really interested in, but I still want them in Smash for the sake of others. As for wondering where the support for your favorite characters are at times, I can relate to this so your not alone, but Geno and King K. Rool definitely has more support and conversations compared to other characters so it could be worse

Sitting on a deserted island alone waiting for support or a even little conversation about Amaterasu and Shantae's chances in Smash and what they can bring to the table.

King K. Rool is one of the most likely newcomers at this point.

 

[Wyoming]

I wouldn't say that just yet.

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

fr K Rool fans said that about smash 4, and then about DLC. I'm just saying but maybe temper yalls expectations a lil

I am a K. Rool fan, and even I am skeptical about his chances some after the time before Smash 4 and it’s DLC. So my expectations are in check.

There's a lot more signs these time with this game having a lot of fanservice and the project plan being finished in 2015.

You are assuming he is as popular overall as he is online.

Keep mind that children and people outside of Nintendo's base voted too. Dixie may have been a silent leader from DKC for all we know.

To be fair though, K. Rool got the Mii Fighter outfit, not Dixie. I think that’s a pretty good indicator of who was leading the pack in that regard.

 

[Will]

with this game having a lot of fanservice

a lot of fanservice

I can understand him having a higher chance because now a whole whopping two viable characters are out of the base roster, but that's only two. I'm not saying K. Rool has no chance, but he also has less of a chance than he does more of it, IMO. Also, Smash in general is fanservice: the game. It was never suddenly like that when everyone piggybacked on that train once Ridley was playable.

 

[AlphaSSB]

Back to King K. Rool discussion?

I think he has decent chances, but I could also see him sharing the same fate as Krystal back in Brawl.

In Brawl, Sakurai put serious consideration into both Krystal and Wolf. Both were heavily requested characters with potential for unique movesets. In the end, he went with Wolf because he could reuse assets from Fox, whereas Krystal would have to be built from scratch.

If we're bound to get only one Donkey Kong newcomer, it'll come down to King K. Rool and Dixie Kong, and I see the latter happening. King K. Rool would have to be built from scratch, whereas Dixie Kong could be built off of Diddy Kong's assets.

Granted, their situation isn't quite the same as Wolf and Krystal, as the they were both considered near the end of the plan where there were time constraints. With Smash Ultimate, there could be enough time in the plan where we could see them both. Although it's possible, it's something I'm more skeptical about.

So for now, my prediction is that we'll be getting Dixie Kong over King K. Rool, with the latter maybe becoming an Assist Trophy as a nod to his popularity. Once again, sharing the same fate as Krystal.

 

[Cosmic77]

I always look at four things when judging a character's chances.

(1) Popularity
(2) Iconicness
(3) Relevancy
(4) Uniqueness

K. Rool checks off the same qualifications as he did in Smash 4, but he didn't pick up any new ones since then. His relevancy is almost nonexistent, and you could argue the other Kongs make him seem less iconic by comparison.

To me, nothing has changed. I feel like his chances are good, but I'm nowhere near as confident with him as some of the other users here are. I feel like Dixie has more qualifications than K. Rool, and if Sakurai had to choose, he might be inclined to pick the former.

It has changed. Krystal a character who was in a very similar situation to K. Rool is now an assist trophy after being ignored for even longer than K. Rool.

Assist Trophies and playable characters aren't chosen for the same reasons.

Whelp that situation doesn't bode well for King K. Rool being a playable character lol.

 

[Jetsurge]

K. Rool is a higher priority than Krystal to be playable since he's the main villain of his series and Star Fox got Wolf back.

 

[dezeray112]

I don't highly expect any further new Fire Emblem characters in the base roster for Ultimate, but if they could add another (which could happen as DLC, I would go with one of the Three Houses characters.

 

[RileyXY1]

That doesn't mean anything. Being the main villain of the franchise does not mean that you will get in. Besides, he hasn't been seen in any game since 2008 and he is completely absent from Retro's reboot of DKC.

 

[Will]

You realize you just used your own logic to debunk your own character right?

K. Rool is a higher priority than Krystal to be playable since he's the main villain of his series and Star Fox got Wolf back.

No, he isn't. He hasn't appeared in a real game in 10 years, almost 20 if you only count non-spinoff DK titles.
I don't know what you're getting at but you're not getting there at all.
