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 father has informed me that there is a King Dedede Smash amiibo at Best Buy. I must go. My people need me.
Godspeed.

Thing with Pokemon is, there's over 800 of them to pick from and at least 600 of them have moveset potential. Even if we narrow it down to Gen 7 only, that's still 85 to choose from. Do you got for the mascot type like Mimikyu? The Cool Lucario-esque Marketing push type like Lycanroc? Go for the Final Starter like Primarina, Incenaroar and Decidueye? Do you go off the rails for something like Golisopod, Sallazle or Tsareena? All we have to go on are the ones that got Pokeball status (sorry Bewear.)

I feel the same way about some of the characters whom I find to be highly questionable. Mimikyu doesn't even look like it would be a playable contender, and yet there are those who seem to be overestimating its playable chances.

And then when I look at Buzzwole, I see it having good potential as a fighter, especially with a potential new fighter mechanic. But for others, it gets far less attention, or is easily dismissed to be nothing more than a Poke Ball Pokemon.
Same here. A few fighters I don't understand as well.

Marx - It'd be really hard to transfer his moveset from KSA over to smash. and we're probably getting Bandana Dee first.

Buzzwole - He's just another of the plenty of Ultra Beasts. nothing special about him.

Sans - Just because Undertale is one the switch doesn't mean Sans is going to get in. and besides, Frisk just makes more sense as a Undertale Candidate.

Waluigi - He's already disconfirmed. unless Sakurai pulls the greatest troll of all time, it ain't happening.

Well, you'd better hope that someone makes a character that replaces Corrin, then. That's the only way it will work.
I won't have to hope, because:
Waluigi replaces him with his golf club, extending arms and WAH shot. He is a unique and fun addition to the game who is also inline with his "canon" appearences because he is a cheater.
There is no way in hell I'm not going to try and make this beautiful concept a reality myself. :laugh:

People will look for any reason they can find to dismiss a character's chances if it means the person they really want has a better chance of getting in Smash. We're all quilty of this, myself included.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how much we try to prove how likely a character is. It's not like our wild predictions directly improve a character's chances, and the months and months of "evidence" we collect to support our character can get shot down all at once if they were to get revealed as an AT or Pokeball.

If you do that, more power to you. Corrin has no interesting mods, and even though it's not the type of mod I'd use, it would be hilarious in action.

I'm gonna say something kinda weird here...

Whats the ONE Smash character you would really love to have in that has literally 0 chance of being in Smash Brothers...

Because for me, it's Jehuty from Zone of the Enders. It would be totally rad just to play as them, but not only does nobody know who the hell they are... Jehuty would either be uncharacteristically heavy and slow, or would have some changes to them that would offset them being big and fast

Homura Akemi from Madoka Magica. No questions asked.

My other choice would be Star from Star vs. the Forces of Evil, but there's an extremely high quality Star mod for Smash 4, so that's been taken care of.

I feel like it'll be a new character reveal, but a lot of people seem to disagree. I just feel like the timing is right, personally, but who knows.
It be a wierd event to reveal somebody in...

Especially since it's a Shonen Jump event...
Who has the rights to one of the most infamously requested Smash Bros character...

Yeah very true.
I know we moved away from this topic already but you really shouldn't have asked this if you were just going to taunt people about it.
I agree with the sentiment that people need to move on, which is exactly why I think bringing this up was pointless because it could've potentially caused drama.
If you think people should move on from that, don't bring it up either.
So I was wondering what your reactions would be if....

1) if the release date is delayed to Spring 2019
2) if we never got Mewtwo, Dr Mario, Lucas, or Roy in Smash 4 in light of everyone returning for Ultimate.
3) if the game was clearly stated by Sakurai as being a port of Smash 4.
4) if we only saw a handful of veterans plus the three newcomers yet get daily veteran reveals via daily blogs. So some characters are revealed through the daily blog.
5) if Sakurai announced that this is his last Smash game.
6) if the three revealed newcomers were the only ones
  1. I'd be okay with that if it means that we're getting more content (and characters). Otherwise, I'd be disappointed.
  2. I'd be less excited because I wouldn't have had a connection to Lucas and Mewtwo (I'm indifferent to Doc and Roy anyway), but I'd still be excited that everyone is back.
  3. It wouldn't bother me because the game would still have so much new content that it might as well be a new game.
  4. I'd still be moderately hyped because of Ridley, but disappointed that they didn't announce a new third party.
  5. I'd understand. Sakurai really needs a vacation.
  6. I'd be disappointed because it wouldn't feel like a complete roster to me. also it would mean decidueye doesn't have a chance.

Buzzwole - He's just another of the plenty of Ultra Beasts. nothing special about him.
You can say "that's just another pokemon of the plenty of pokemon" and that statement would be equally unproductive- An ultra beast getting in would easily make it one of the more unique Pokemon just from a classification standpoint, and bad boy here is a giant buff mosquito.

Here's its learnset by level. Surely with its proportions, weight, and any combination of these attacks, it would be a fun character to fight as.

Edit(s): I just woke up and am bad at grammar and spelling in the morning.

I desperately want to K.O. people by flipping the direction they're falling.

Alternatively, for those who actually think that wasn't a 0% chance...

Portals could be so much fun!

2) Think there would be a lot of "HOLY **** MEWTWOOOOOOOOOO" during the everyone is here announcement.
3) With how different it is anyway, even if it was a port at this point I'd still get it.
4) It would be more exciting than it is now, but there would be less "everyone is here" memes :(
5) Good. Please rest.
6) I would be both totally unsurprised and disappointed at the same time.

I'm just imagining playing as an almost 8 foot tall mosquito that gains stat boosts every time it KOs someone.

...I think I want Buzzwole in Smash now.
I think Beast Boost would be modified to be more on the fair side. For an example, as Buzzwole takes damage, it'll receive a temporary defense boost that reduces the amount of damage and knockback that it receives. You can check out my Beast Boost concepts at the following link...

Compared to these two, Mimikyu didn't have too many options via level up that could work in Smash, but TMs are a thing and it can definitely use moves that it learns via TMs.

  1. Perfectly reasonable, though longer wait kinda sucks.
  2. DR. MARIO IS HERE!
  3. It's not but I guess he knows better.
  4. Why? Everyone is Here was perfect.
  5. It would make a great jubilee. I'd be sad but he deserves working with his own ideas.
  6. Boo. Still great roster overall but I only like Inkling.

That's all pretty much true. As much as I want King K. Rool to be a playable contender, what's hurting him right now is the fact that he's been on hiatus for about a decade now; his last real game appearance was Mario Super Sluggers, which doesn't even exist in the PAL regions.

Geez, we're doing the Smash Template now? I've seen those on 4chan for weeks.

Speaking of: I've got another set of "leaks" for ya'll.
"Leak" 1:
Hello. I have been informed by my sources that Smash Bros. Ultimate will have these characters, and feature some new stages.

Characters:
>Ken (Echo for Ryu)
>Metal Mario (Echo for Mario)
>Waluigi (Newcomer, bamboozle by Sakurai)
>Octoling (Echo for Inkling)
>Dark Samus (Newcomer)
>Shadow (Newcomer)
>Sora (Newcomer)
>Ninten (Newcomer)
>Vault Boy (Newcomer)
Stages:

>Random Kingdom Hearts stage
>Westopolis
>Deepsea Metro
>Hyrule Castle (BotW)
>Labo House
>Vault 76

More to come in the future.

Vault Boy is...new, but this leak has Sora, so therefore it must be true. Flawless logic on my part.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Leak" 2:
While the roster may have been supposedly decided in 2015, things change over development. Someone from within Bamco has come forward to me with info on characters being put into the game, some I think most of you are going to find odd. The Smash Ballot wasn't completely for nothing though, as it determined which characters ultimately got into the game.

The characters are: Metal Mario, Banjo-Kazooie, Mega Charizard X/Y (Echo), K.Rool, Dark Samus (echo), Decidueye, and Issac.

First things first, Simon IS in the game, but he's an assist trophy. He was a playable character in the planning stages, but the team dropped him down to an AT.

Banjo wasn't even a thought until 2016, which is when he was added due to sheer requests for him, much like Ridley. The Wonderwing isn't his final smash, and his up b is nothing anyone would expect.

K.Rool was added thanks to overall global requests and thanks to the Smash Ballot.

Decidueye was picked over Sceptile due to it being the most recent grass Pokemon starter. His Final Smash is Sinister Arrow Raid from Sun and Moon. Speaking of, Mega Charizard is in the game due to Charizard mains in Smash 4. It is the only PKMN Trainer Pokemon to get this honor, and yes, you can play as Y version and it too has 4 colors.

Issac was added to the game early on thanks in part to fan requests. It should be noted Issac's green hands are nowhere in his moveset.

Dark Samus was added as a more offensive version of Samus. Her F air has only one hit box for example and it does kill at low percents. Her Final Smash however, turns her into Metroid Prime.

Metal Mario is actually a throw back to Super Smash Bros 64, complete with his stage remade in Smash Ultimate. His side B is a diving tackle from Mario 64 and his down B is Mario Tornado. Metal Mario also has his step sound effect from 64 and falls like Fox did in Melee, but won't die at 260+ percents like he did in 64. Ask me anything else you would like to know, especially DLC.

I highly doubt that a character would be dropped to assist trophy status during development. They'd likely be cut and released as DLC if anything. Mega Charizard as an echo makes little sense as well. The Pokémon Trainer mechanic is much better for Charizard than Rock Smash, a crummy move that nobody used.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Leak" 3:

Alright bois heres a leak for ya

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Leak" 4:

-Super Mario odyssey DLC

-Ends with Smash fighter reveal, Simon Belmont to be exact, Sakurai says 7 more fighters are coming

That's sparse for Nintendo's Fall/Winter lineup. Again, we'll see if this one's true in August.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Leak" 5:
View attachment 152429

Hello everyone I hope you're all having wonderful day. I was leaking info about Nintendo and was able to find some exciting info about a direct set for December of this year. here is what i found about it and some of the titles they will announce. Keep in mind its only some info not all.

>Direct is switch focused and may or may not include a couple of 3DS titles
>New Super Mario Sunshine inspired DLC for Super Mario Odyssey
>New info for upcoming Yoshi game with a new trailer
> Small teaser for Pikmin 4
> New Metroid Prime 4 trailer
> New F-Zero game labeled "F-Zero Heat Turbo" keep in mind its a working title
> More Smash Ultimate info, mainly talks about the stages and may include a new character reveal.
>The final thing I found was an image (the one that is attached) and some info alongside it. its a new F-Zero game collection titled "F-Zero Elite Collection" It contains 4 F-Zero games which are, F-Zero (SNES),F-Zero GX(GCN), F-Zero X (N64), and for the first time ever on consoles F-Zero AX (Arcade). I found that F-Zero GX & AX will both contain online multiplayer. In order to play online, it requires you to have a NSO subscription. The games play like they did before but with a few tweaks and improvements to make it feel better. You can switch between classic controls and updated controls to suit your play style and preference. Classic controls leaves the controls the same as the original but updated controls is where the controls are improved for the new controllers of the switch. it also has banners (like the snes mini has) and widescreen support. They can both be toggled on/off. The resolution for these games were up-scaled. It also has Gamecube controller support for a more classic feel. F-Zero AX also has Arcade mode controller setup which allows you to hold the joy con in a similar manner as you would while playing the original cabinet.

*The logo in the image attached for F-Zero elite collection is more than likely not final*

New F-Zero Game? F-Zero game collection?? I'd be surprised to say the least. Shoutouts to the logos OP made though. They tried.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do we have time for bonus "leak"?

Don't say that I don't love you guys, because I have 2 bonus "leaks".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus "leak" 1:

You know what. **** it. I hate my job, I hate my life, I’m going to leak **** and get fired.
I work at Nintendo of America. IT IS NOT FUN OR SATISFYING!
> Waluigi was shown as an assist trophy to **** with everyone
> The old dagenrompa v3 leak is real. Monokuma and Monomi will be assist trophies
> Pichu I’m smash ultimate is way better than in melee.
> 4 more echo fighters
> 7 new challengers
Believe in it if you want, but it’s true.
Don’t expect anything else unless I don’t get fired.
**** Nintendo of America, **** you

This guy's angry. It's only game... Anyways, this "leak" doesn't say much, but gives us a general estimate of what to expect. It fits within the "codename leak" that people have been posting around as clickbait garbage, but 4 of them need to be echoes. Speaking of the "codename leak"...

Bonus "leak" 2:
The “code names” post was not inaccurate

But I would like to state that it did not include the two planned unlockable characters
The new character total including Ridley and Daisy was 15 not 12
A lesser known mario character to complete the mario party playables collection
And a second representative from a popular non-Nintendo franchise.

Both of these characters are planned to remain unannounced and only available by unlocking them through specific achievements

Again, this one doesn't say much. I'd guy that this one includes Shadow and Waluigi? I'd be very surprised if Waluigi made it in. Regardless, this combined with the supposed roster from the "codename leak" would be pretty exciting. 15 characters would put the roster at a whopping 81 characters, and with the potential of DLC (SORA), the roster could reach up to 100+ characters. That'd be exciting.
Wait I just realized for "Leak" 3, the one that became a bit more likely with the Pikachu Funko Pop leak, the July Direct is slated for the 22nd...that's a Sunday.

Yea I thought it was unlikely but now I'm positive.

I don't know.

A few of them feels possible or even likely but they shouldn't be treated like a waiting room for fighters. Wè all know how this went for Assist Trophies.

Compared to these two, Mimikyu didn't have too many options via level up that could work in Smash, but TMs are a thing and it can definitely use moves that it learns via TMs.
I'd be an awful Mimikyu supporter if I didn't defend them, but you only need 4 or 5 moves for specials and Mimikyu definitely has those (Wood Hammer, Shadow Claw, Astonish, Copycat, Play Rough, Pain Split, Charm, Hone Claws). Also a lot of the starters options are just fire/grass attack but stronger.

Curious, I wonder how much Sakurai knows about their Movesets when they are still in development. Like he made Greninja in a night based of concept art. Sure he got Water Shuriken and Shadow Sneak but those are pretty general. Hence the water blades.

On this note I do have to point out a few things. One is Zero Suit Samus’s Final Smash, which as pointed out by a few users, uses the exact same model as playable Samus. This is unusual due to the fact that typically this would mean that two versions of the same character would be coexisting, something that wasn’t thought to be possible, but alas, here we are. Another thing that has been drawn to attention by several users, both on Smashboards, Twitter, and Discord, is that Fiora’s model, very similar to Chrom’s model, has an unusually high amount of detail for a realistic human model, particularly in the hair. What I find odd about this discrepancy for Chrom his model had a lot of detail because he was meant to be used elsewhere, but for Fiora it’s not specified. This makes me think either she may be used for something else or she was planned to be used somewhere else, but again, we may never know.
I just wanted to say, after looking closely at the model I don’t think she’ll be an Assist Trophy like many speculate, Assist Trophies tend to have lower detail than the normal fighters (In fact in Smash 4 their fingers weren’t even fully modeled), but Fiora is almost as detailed as Shulk, so for that much effort to go into a model like that I don’t think they’d go the Assist Trophy route, but not sure about a playable fighter either. Once again, we may never know, but the inclusion of her in Shulk’s Final Smash is very mysterious to say the least.

Omg I have a chance to get a Female Corrin Amiibo again. YES

Question for you guys, Are some of you still Salty about Corrin's Inclusion?
I still stand by that Fates is the worst game Nintendo has ever put out so. Yeah pretty much.
(I don't know any other nintendo game that gives you 8 adopted siblings and 1 blood cousin to have incestual relations with so)

You can say "that's just another pokemon of the plenty of pokemon" and that statement would be equally unproductive- An ultra beast getting in would easily make it one of the more unique Pokemon just from a classification standpoint, and bad boy here is a giant buff mosquito.

Here's its learnset by level. Surely with its proportions, weight, and any combination of these attacks, it would be a fun character to fight as.

Edit(s): I just woke up and am bad at grammar and spelling in the morning.
I meant there's nothing that makes him memorable as a Pokemon.
I've never heard anyone talk about him. at least. i could be wrong.

I desperately want to K.O. people by flipping the direction they're falling.

Alternatively, for those who actually think that wasn't a 0% chance...

Portals could be so much fun!
Why have Sans when we could have Frisk, who could use all his friends in his moveset? Not a big Undertale fan, i played it, it's cool. But Frisk just makes more sense.

I'm gonna say something kinda weird here...

Whats the ONE Smash character you would really love to have in that has literally 0 chance of being in Smash Brothers...

Because for me, it's Jehuty from Zone of the Enders. It would be totally rad just to play as them, but not only does nobody know who the hell they are... Jehuty would either be uncharacteristically heavy and slow, or would have some changes to them that would offset them being big and fast

So I was wondering what your reactions would be if....

1) if the release date is delayed to Spring 2019
2) if we never got Mewtwo, Dr Mario, Lucas, or Roy in Smash 4 in light of everyone returning for Ultimate.
3) if the game was clearly stated by Sakurai as being a port of Smash 4.
4) if we only saw a handful of veterans plus the three newcomers yet get daily veteran reveals via daily blogs. So some characters are revealed through the daily blog.
5) if Sakurai announced that this is his last Smash game.
6) if the three revealed newcomers were the only ones
1. Id be fine if it meant more newcomers
2. Super excited for mewtwo
3. Honestly way less interested
4. It would maybe make the wait easier
5. Fine, could allow room for massive change in a sequel/allow him to work on other projects
6. I’d be okay because of Ridley but still slightly bummed

Frisk being some kind of summoner character makes about as much sense as Shulk doing the same with his companions, or a Fire Emblem character summoning their allies. At best, they'd be cameo's in Frisk's Final Smash like Dunban, Riki, and Fiora are for Shulk.

Plus the entire gimmick of Frisk's character is based around them being able to choose not to fight, and the fact that Frisk is not the most recognizable character in the game, nor the most popular, and the fact that Frisk is about as expressive as a block of wood. They don't fulfill any of the criteria that Sakurai lays down for potential characters. (Nor, arguably, does an Undertale character in general. But we're talking about the merits of the characters in comparison to each other, and in that regard, Frisk is DEFINITELY not the frontrunner)

Stuck in the Special Zone
*AUX CALL PUSH SELECT*

Snake: Colonel, this woman has regular guns with her! What's so special about her that she gets to bring pistols and I'm just stuck with explosives and CQC?

Colonel: Those aren't ordinary guns, Snake, they're guns that fire magic bullets rather than regular ammunition. Her name is Bayonetta, and she's an Umbra Witch. Umbra Witches are able to use magic such as Bullet Arts to fight opponents, as well as summon demons through different mediums.

Snake: Demons? That's really... dark... How does she do it?

Colonel: Most commonly, Umbra Witches summon demons using their hair and chanting a spell. Bayonetta constantly uses hers.

Snake: Really? Her hair? That's ridiculous... By the way, I wonder if there's any scissors around...

Colonel: You'll only anger her if you try to cut it, and making an Umbra Witch angry is something you'll instantly regret, unless you want to get an uppercut from a giant demon fist.

Snake: Well, there goes that idea.

Pit x Dark Pit kind of annoys me.

Kind of like how the Sonic x Fox ship is really popular for some reason.
:ultpit:X:ultdarkpit: is just as bad as people shipping Ninja Turtles with one another, and :ultsonic:X:ultfox: just seems like a furry’s wildest dream
Maybe not that predictable. I'm not too keen on Birdo anyways
Close enough
I wonder if the Inklings will be the only Mii costumes to get promoted. I hope not as there's a few there I'd really like as their own characters.
Viridi and King K Rool better get the upgrade aswell

So I did more reading on the official website, and...

It's a pretty small mistake, but come on. Even the video right next to the explanation shows the exact opposite motion. I should become a site editor someday...

I believe it was a skit they had for E3 2014

Gotta love that Skyward Sword music in the background of the entire video. Especially at 3:30. :upsidedown:

I feel the same way about some of the characters whom I find to be highly questionable. Mimikyu doesn't even look like it would be a playable contender, and yet there are those who seem to be overestimating its playable chances.

And then when I look at Buzzwole, I see it having good potential as a fighter, especially with a potential new fighter mechanic. But for others, it gets far less attention, or is easily dismissed to be nothing more than a Poke Ball Pokemon.
I was gonna continue ignoring your comments but then I eagle-eyed "Overestimating the chances of Mimikyu" and then you bring up Buzzwole, in the same post, as if its relevent.

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean other people are overestimating anything. I don't know why this is a hard concept for people to grasp.

Just leave the Mimikyu topic alone, ffs. No one benefits from you coming in and saying it doesn't have a chance every 20 pages. We know you think that. No one needs reminding.
