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.

My favorite returning fighter is probably a toss up between :ultpichu: and :ultyounglink:. I have really good memories of messing around with Pichu back in the day, and Young Link plays right into my Majora's Mask fanboyism, lol.

:ulticeclimbers: and :ultsnake: make me really happy too, though, as both are amazingly fun to play and I can't wait to try them out.

On a different note, I kinda wish we knew who is and isn't gonna be an AT, lol. If my dreams of Bandana Dee and Ashley are gonna get crushed, I'd rather it happen sooner rather than later so I can have proper expectations for the rest of the game.

Marth's idle animation has a lot more bounce and fluidity to it:



Compare that to his stiff as a board idle animation in 4:

His face also looks a lot better.

They did a really nice job cleaning up this game's models, especially Mario's:



The fact he's allowed to smile in Smash again makes me very happy. :D

I am destined to Falcon Punch a new player on my birthday (technically next year or after once this game is released). What about you?

To win against a top player at a convention




Yeah that’s...not happening any time soon lel

mainly cause I am not going to any conventions in the foreseeable future...cause I literally can’t. My life situation prevents me from doing so.

...Hmm. Well, maybe I'll somehow get super into competitive smash in the near future... and start actually using that Twitter account I made? And begin paying for Switch's online service?

Well, I'm not saying it won't happen. :laugh: The stars'd have to align pretty hard though.

Toad is the last true Nintendo All Star.

The one everyone will know.

And he'll never get in.

It's really sad actually.

He certainly deserves it.
Toad is the final all-star.
But it hasn't gotten him far.
He won't get in Smash,
And our heads we will bash,
For with others he is on par.

To explain, when I saw that your post was 5 short lines, I thought it was gonna be a limerick, but it wasn't.
So I decided to make it one.
Which returning fighter are you most excited for? This is probably an unpopular opinion, but for me it's Young Link. :ultyounglink:
Rather than going for one, I'll go by each game:
64: :ultluigi:
I main Luigi in every Smash. Of course he's gonna be back, but I'm still happy to see him.
Melee: :ultyounglink:
Young Link was one of my mains in Melee, alongside Dr. Mario and Luigi. He's one character that I never expected to see again, but he's looking great, and I cannot wait to play him again.
Brawl::ultpokemontrainer:
I loved playing as Ivysaur in Brawl, and not only was I shocked to see it making a return, but Squirtle and Charizard are looking good as well. I'm really looking forward to trying Pokemon Trainer as a whole character.
3DS and Wii U::ultlucina:
Despite Shulk being my favorite of Smash 4's newcomers, Lucina is the one I'm most excited for. This is because Lucina is a character that I didn't expect to return, but I'm really glad she's back. She was my second most used Newcomer in Smash 4, she's actually very nearly tied for that spot with Robin, funnily enough.

To be double eliminated by an internet friend on TV. That's not so bad.

Yeah, it seemed like post-Melee competition brought out some rage in Mario. Now, look at him in Tennis Aces and Ultimate.

If we can have the Onett and Winters themes in Smash, why haven't we gotten the Twoson theme yet? It's the best in the game.

(And it's so wholesome to think of Ness and Paula meeting the first time ;w; )

A New Leak that I kind of find to be possible since it is in such close detail.
http://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/423373783/super-smash-bros-informations
This is the leak:
Hello, I can share some info about the new Super Smash Bros. game for you. Obvious but english is not my main language so sorry if I can't write correct. I have info about the new fighters. The thing is that maybe I don't know about all the fighters and there are some newcomers that are just rumors in the office and I have no way to know if they are real or not, but I will share it since it there was some rumors proven real more early in the development.
A Newcomer that I can 100% confirm right now is Geno from Super Mario RPG and is representing the Super Mario series but Square Enix as well.
I have seen some moves but not all: I know that his Side Special is a Beam coming from his Arm that open from his elbow and that his Normal Special is a Disc that He can throw upward or downward too. His Down Specials seems to be a reflecting move or a shield using a rainbow star (I don't really know for sure). I think his Up Special seems to be multiple lazer that he shoots downward. His Finals Smash is him transforming into a cannon and shooting at the aiming zone. He uses headbutt for a lot of his moves and there is 1 move where he takes his arm with his other arm to attack. Also, I have seen a 3D Model for Mallow but I have not seen it in the game for now (Assist Trophy?). I will post more information with other posts. Keep looking if you want to know. I will not only talk about fighters Dixie Kong from Donkey kong is another Fighter that I have seen. I have seen her model and 4-5 moves. I am pretty sure that she has one of the biggest double jumps of all the fighters (like Mewtwo but less round). One of her Special is her shooting a bubble gum with a plastic gun and the gum does not damage but slows down enemies for sometimes. Her Up Special is her blowing a bubble gum and floating into the sky for sometimes, the bubble can be destroyed. I have seen two of her Smash Attacks one is her smashing a guitar to the ground the other one is her swinging her ponytail to the ground left and right multiple times. She also grabs other fighters with her ponytail. I heard rumors saying that she can float with her ponytail if you keep pressing the Jump Button. Elma from Xenoblade Chronicle X is one of the newcomers I have seen almost no info. All I know is that she has two forms: a Human form and a Mech form. While in Mech Form she can fly if you press the jump button. I am pretty sure that she can only take some damage in mech form (50%?) before destroying the mech and not being able to return into that form for the time shes alive. She can shoot with a gun in her mech and form and kicks a lot in human form. I can also pretty much confirm Mimikyu is the new Pokémon newcomer. I have seen the most moves for her. Her Normal Special is a unique move (Mimic) where can make a ghost looking clone of a close fighter and put it in front of Mimikyu. The clone will move with Mimikyu and the next move that Mimikyu will try to do (Normal Attacks, Specials, Throws, Areal attacks, etc) will be the ghost looking clone doing the move from the character that got cloned. Mimikyu got a special effect where she is cannot be knock backed for the first move that hit her. After that, her heads fall down. You can put the head back up with charging bar with Down Special. When her head is up, she can retake the next hit without the knockback. Her up Special is her glowing with a pink sphere and going up. Her Side Special is her Wood Stick growing bigger and having a dark aura and slamming the stick in front of her doing it in the air crash her down. She uses her ghost claw in a lot of other moves. Very Floaty character, but slow on the ground. The final Newcomer is just a rumor, but I believe it to be real. I heard a lot about Bandanna Waddle Dee from Kirby to be in Smash. I also heard that there is already work for DLC right now. This rumor, however, seems to be more real since I have seen the series logo and some models. I,m pretty sure Spring man from ARMS, Rex from Xenoblade Chronicle 2 and Octoling as a Inkling ε are the DLC. I heard that Spring Man will come out in Winter 2019, Rex in Spring 2019 and Octoling after E3 2019. I will now talk about the Echo FIghters or ε FIghters:
I am working with the Echo FIghters so i know them a lot more than the newcommers.
The last 3 ε Fighters are:
-Funky Kong for Donkey Kong
-Isabelle for Villager
-and Ninten for Ness

All ε have the same moves but there is some difference with Knockback, damage and angle of Knockback.
Ninten has a big redesign like Roy for Smash for Wii U and 3DS (probably to make him different than Ness). He has a different colored hat and has a lot of Whiteb in his costume. His Shirt does not have Yellow in it and it looks more like White star on a black and blue shirt. He has 3 difference with Ness in their Specials. PK Thunder is a lot faster so more difficult to control, Pk Fire is angled Up if Ninten is on the ground and PSI Magnet is has a bigger protection.
Lucina has Tipper on a bigger part of her Sword but her Tipper does less knockback. Also, Her Specials seems to have more range than Marth's
I do not work in this department but it looks like you'll get information a lot. I also think myself that you'll know about Geno or Dixie Kong first since they seem to have the more time put into them for now.
Also maybe Mimikkyu since she has a lot of developpment right now. To continue with the ε Fighters: Dark Pit 's Normal Special has a lot less curve in his arrow, but his Side Special seems to do a lot more Knockback than Pit's and go further.,Funky Kong Up Special seems to work a lot different than Donkey Kong's. His Up B is Funky Kong Spinning on his Surf Board. The Hitting part is down instead of Up like DK. When Funky Kong use Up Special on the ground, he just does a fast and powerful Surf Board Swing instead of spinning. I think you'll get normal information in July and August will have 1 or 2 big info since the work that is supposed to be revealed seems to be 90% ready instead of 100% ready to show to public. Daisy, the ε Fighter of Peach have only 2 specials different. Her Toad counterattack does no damage but Stun the enemy (Like Corrin's Normal Special) Also when using her Down Special, she has a chance to pull out The Freeze Item and the Beehive item instead of the Bob-Omb and Mr. Saturn. Isabelle has a countdown on her Pocket and she loses the item when the countdown is finished (It is like a Clock on her Pocket Icon over her %). But the Projectile that she pockets is massively enhanced. She has only 1 Balloon on her Up Special, but she jumps instead of fluttering. She also cannot ride her Side Special but the explosion of the Rocket is bigger. I only said it was heavily rumored and probably real, but for your information, Mewtwo was worked on before Super Smash Bros. for Wii U was released. It is just the start of development for these character and they will take a lot more times to make than Mewtwo.
I have not seen a lot of new stages but I can say the ones I saw:
-Fountain of Dreams
-Yoshi Wool World
-Gamer
-Summit
-Pupupu Land from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
-Rainbow Road
-Rainbow Cruise
-Mute City from Super Smash Bros, for Nintendo 3DS
-Wii Fit Studio
-New Donk City from Super Mario Odyssey
-NLA (From Xenoblade Chronicle X)
-Throne Room (From Super Mario RPG)
-Saturn Valley (From Mother 2)
I cannot promise anything but I think I can take pictures of the Geno, Mallow and Funky Kong Models Monday and upload them the same day or the day after (So In my prediction Today or Tomorrow, on Wednesday we can tell if it is fake). It looks like the Bowser Battle from Super Mario RPG. There are two big platforms that are the chandeliers. These platforms swing if theres to much movements on theme.

So in my opinion this could be really probable, what do you guys thin
1. Problem with this is talking about DLC stuff when I am pretty sure DLCs are still not being made or even think about it yet.
2. Too safe, not a single unexpected or classic nes character, is pretty much the characters that every single "leak" says.
3. Ninten has never used a Yo-yo in his whole life, yet Ness uses it in his moveset, same with other PK abilities, those could be explained that Ana teached him, but nobody in the cast of mother 1 uses a yo-yo, it would be very weird to see him use one, since is the biggest difference between him an Ness.
Sure they could just say "who cares" and let him use the yo-yo, but it would be pretty weird.

And the Koopalings never use Shadow Mario, and Lucina's fighting style in Awakening is nothing like Marth's, and Alph has never flown Olimar's ship. Consistency with canon is very iffy in Smash.

Guys, it's just some sort of competition that they're livestreaming.
Don't get your hopes up.
I know that we shouldn't get our hopes up but I really hope that at least this month there's some sort of new reveal.

Hopefully Ashley

You know Ninten is one echo that is brought up somewhat frequently and I've never heard anyone mention that once. Like it's just been yeah they're basically the same person. That seems like a huge deal thanks for mentioning that.

Like seriously people complain about Dark Samus and Shadow (sorry for bringing it up don't kill me) having different movesets but Ninten literally doesn't use a tool that is essential to Ness. Hmmm

I like that you called them "cut newcomers". They're not truly newcomers, but they certainly feel new, refreshing, and just as hype as any of the newcomers.
I agree with the sentiment, but with that said that was actually a mistake where I meant to say "cut veterans". Maybe it was a Freudian slip of sorts because these cut veterans do take an insane amount of work to bring back, even if they're not on the level of a new character like Ridley.

If anything, I’d expect a reveal of 1-2 newcomers a month (including echoes) up until its release in December. Maybe for the December Direct they’ll make it a Smash Special and reveal more than two, and/or hint at upcoming DLC

JUST GIVE ME ELMA SOON SAKURAI FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IM BEGGING YOU
