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.

That’s something I look forward too.

But with limited amount of time to showcase new reveals (if any) it’s definitely going to be EVO.

It seems Ultimate is being taken a lot more seriously since it’s going to be streaming matches of highly competitive players. Although I’m not sure if this is done a lot before, this is a first for Nintendo.
Unless they plan on revealing something new at EVO for Smash Ultimate! Then it's not worth watching if you ask me!!

If they don’t use “BANJO-KAZOOIE get jiggy with it” then they might as well not add Banjo.

"That makes me wonder how is that you have gotten away with that, Browser. If I were them, I would have hit you with a lawsuit by now."

xD I dunno.
I had no interest in playing as Ridley, but a suit and tie alt might change that.
Sakurai? Is that you?




EVERYONE!

Oh thanks this cute relaxing gif will help me fall asleep, *yawn* good night everyo-
Sorry, you can watch this cute gif to forget that:

Actually now that I think of it, Yoshi was the only non-DLC veteran to get a tagline in Smash 4. Why wasn't THAT his tagline? Instead it was "Yoshi rolls into battle." Lame
Zero Suit Samus, Sheik and Charizard also got taglines.

All the new reveals in that direct got one.

If they're announcing something at EVO, I don't think it will be on the same level as a big newcomer. I think an echo fighter such as, say, Ken or Akuma would be a fitting fighter to announce there.

What? You're joking right?
EVO is literally the biggest fighting game event IN THE WORLD.

How exactly would a copy-paste fighter be a fitting announcement for that?

B: Bomberman
C: Crash Bandicoot
D: Dante
E: Ezio
F: Frank West
G: Geno
H: Heihachi
I: Impa
J: Juliet Starling (Have fun finding out who that is!)
K: King K Rool
L: Lightning
M: Master Chief
N: Nathan Drake
O: Onion Knight
P: Phoenix Wright
Q: Quote

Honestly, now that I look at the popularity of Ashley, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if she mad it in this time.

I was thinking. Know how in the Bayonetta trailer Sakurai separated it out between regions? Bayo was #1 in Europe blah, blah, blah. What if that's the route they're taking for this games newcomers? Ridley for US, Ashley for Japan, maybe Isaac for Europe (since I heard he pretty popular there), and K. Rool for worldwide. Pipe dream or naw?

It'd certainly be an interesting idea. Give all the regions what they want before you inevitably reboot the roster and cut out 30% of the chaff.

IMO Ridley is the "western" favorite the same way Little Mac was last time. Sakurai probably in reality doesn't care much about Europe.

Bandana Dee is closer to a Japanese favorite than Ashley.

Slime? I've made a comprehensive moveset before. It's based upon Dragon Quest Monsters, where the character is fleshed out more(meaning an actual personality but also tons of moves). The notable thing is that the only real addition to it is... it can create slimy tentacles to attack in certain ways. Slaps, etc. Besides that, the moveset heavily focuses on the skills as well. Or in the regular games, the Magic Spells. I feel this is at least one possible way to decently use Slime to represent DQ as a whole.

Slime
* Jump: 3/5
* Speed: 2/5
* Power: 4/5
* Colors: Red, Blue, Brown/Yellow(Rock Slime), Silver(Metal Slime), Black(Metal Slime)

* A: Slime Slap
* AA: Reverse Slime Slap
* AAA: Double Slime Slap
* Forward A: Slime Slice(Horizontal)
* Up A: Slime Whip
* Down A: LegSweep
* Smash A: Axeing for it (Diagonal Axe strike)
* Smash Up A: Firebal (Very similar to Samus' Smash Up A, except they come out all at once, more like an explosion)
* Smash Down A: Icebolt (A small line of cold goes on the floor. Anyone it hits might be frozen, but it makes the floor slippery otherwise)
* Air A: Slimy Spikes(Basically what it says. Emits a bunch of spikes and falls. Like a Gordo without shooting them off)
* Air Forward A: Infermos (A blast of air goes forward)
* Air Up A: Slime Whip redux
* Air Down A: Metal Slime (Drops downwards similar to Kirby's Down B)
* B: Big Bang (Chargeable: Does explosive damage. Very weak at first.)
* Forward B: Cut (Flashes forward doing a powerful slashing attack. This is based upon the various "Cut" moves)
* Up B: Sandstorn (Flies into the air, releasing sand that makes it hard for him to be hit.)
* Down B: Bounce (Reflects elemental attacks against the enemy. Does not affect non-ones.)
* Final Smash: Call (Calls down every possible Slime to attack the enemies.)
* Z: Slime Trap (Grabs the opponent with sticky tentacles)
* Z A: Slimey Slap
* Z Forward: Lushlick (Sends them forward, paralyzed for 4 seconds.)
* Z Up: Fireslash (Slashes them with pure fire, sending them upwards.)
* Z Down: Iceslash (You go up in the air a little, slashing them with coldness, possibly freezing them)
* Z Back: Windbeast (Blasts them backwards with a force of Air)

Other abilities: Glide (Grows wings and glides while in the air.)

It's a bit old and outdated, but it still works. It's simple, and uses the correct names here and there. Still needs a bit more, like the percentage damage and other notes. Made this during Brawl.

Well now that F-Zero got more representation in terms of music, I'm still waiting for the other Smash 64 franchises to get more music representation...
Mother right? I’d sure love Porky Means Business or Cave of the Past as soundtracks

I don't know about you guys. But I am predicting that Shadow the Hedgehog is getting in as an Unique/Semi-clone fighter. and i am so confident in this that i made a bet to myself

i Said that if Shadow the Hedgehog is not in the game as an Unique/Semi-Clone fighter, I will drink 7 Cups of Mustard water...Trust me its really bad

adding on to the bet is my Soul. I was going to drink Urine, but after some deliberation with a Smash Discord, it was considered to Toxic and instead is replaced with Mustard Water

Mustard Water is one of, if not the worst things i've ever tasted, and i will personally Drink 7 cups of it for every Chaos emerald. Im so Serious about this, because im very Confident on shadow getting in as his own Character and i need some type of risk to really prove it. Also i will make a Video of it to prove i drunk the mustard water

what do i get in return: I get a unique/Semi-Clone Shadow the Hedgehog that is not Shafted with TWO Spindashes and a Spring

Im so serious about shadow getting in

Does this mean base game or will you delay it on the off chance it happened in DLC. (If Shadow's assist trophy is still suspiciously missing from the base game)

Because to be honest if it's the former. Better prepare for that mustard water now :p

I think the only way Sonic's getting a 2nd rep that's not an echo is in DLC whether it ended up being Tails or Shadow.

I agree that if he's getting in he won't be an echo fighter. However I'm not as confident as you are that he's getting in period. I'm 50/50 on it.
