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.

↑ This is the man who made the new F-Zero medley.

It's surreal how a man like him has a good practice of spoken English, but also has such a golden voice.
This is the first suggested video on that video, also a Takenobu Mitsuyoshi vocal cover.
If only this could also be in Smash. XD

Got bored so I did a new game based on the previous word association one:

A-Z of newcomers. We're in a parallel universe where 26 newcomer is feasible, but you can only have one of each letter. Who you pick?

A: Andy
B: Bandana Dee
C: Captain Toad
D: Dixie Kong
E: Elma
F: Fossil Fighter
G: Gooey
H: Henry Flemming(you're welcome Oppossum)
I: Impa
J: Jashin(and Doshin)
K: Kamek
L: Lyn
M: Meowth
N: Nikki(was a tough choice)
O: Octoling
P: Porky(although Paper Mario was close)
Q: Qbby
R: Ribbon Girl
S: Slippy Toad(Samurai Goroh was close)
T: Toad
U: Urobosa(not many U's)
V: Vaati
W: Waluigi
X: Xander(again not many X's)
Y: Yuga
Z: Zoroark (almost went for Zant but way too many Zelda newcomers)

What are yours?
This was tricky as a lot of characters start with "s"

A: Ashley
B: Bomberman
C: Crash
D: Dixie Kong
E: Elma
F: ???
G: Gardevoir
H: Hilda
I: Impa
J: ???
K: Krystal (Sorry K. Rool)
L: Lola Pop
M: Medusa
N: Ninten
O: Octoling
P: Proto Man
Q: ???
R: Roll
S: Shantae
T: Tails
U: Ubrosa
V: ???
W: Waddle Dee (Bandana'd)
X: ???
Y: Yarn Yoshi
Z: Zero (Mega Man)

F is a surprisingly tricky letter.

Here's a game

Say your 2 most wanted characters, and 2 of your least wanted characters (keep it video game related, and maybe make one Nintendo). But don't say who is who

For example, me

Skull Kid
Bandana Dee
Adeleine
Geno


Probably obvious, Given the signature but that doesn't matter because nothing matters, ever. But that's off topic. Just do it.
Rayman
Simon Belmont
Dixie Kong
Rex & Pyra

I didn’t include Impa since I figured that’d be obvious.

I've asked this before but not gotten responses. Something different from all the character speculation.

What new game modes would you like to see this time around? I'd love a capture the flag mode on big maps or a king of the hill mode where you try to control a zone. Also a multi character stock match would be awesome.
I would love a Melee style adventure mode. Maybe with Brawl boss battles returning. Have series specific ones for each character. I don’t need cutscenes or even a story just replayablility

The lack of new info outside of music is kind of boring me too now, so I'm just gonna play a silly little prediction game, tomorrow Sakurai might tell us to tune in on Friday as a new challenger may be approaching. Then he uploads a new trailer like he did with Robin/Lucina's reveal. Who the new character is is anyone's guess. (Maybe Ashley due to the upcoming release of Wario Ware Gold?)

If I'm right then yay, if I'm wrong then oh well, back to playing the waiting game I guess... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was pretty busy with some stuff, but Codecs should be coming daily again at a normal time. Now, tomorrow's preview:

Mei Ling: I think maybe it's because you've been sneaking around the place too much for no good reason, but a person like them should definitely be able to help.

Next up: :ultwiifittrainer:

I'm pretty sure we're all hungry for all the characters. I'm hungry as hell for Wolf, Young Link, and Pichu with their movesets being tweaked
Nah I’m just hungry for Pit...and the hunger for Wolf mostly comes from Etika and Shofu
Well, THIS adds an interesting wrinkle.

If Crash makes it in Smash, does it mean that Sega would submit him as a character on Activision/Sony/Universal's behalf
No it will not (Sakurai still had to ask for a Rayman trophy despite Rayman Legends being published by Nintendo in Japan)

I made this clear early in my time here. Fortune Smash

Bring a "Fortune Street" (Itadaki Street/Boom Street) mode into Smash Bros. to replace Smash Tour, and allow players to play as Assist Trophies in that mode as a roundabout way to make them playable.

So, what's left before they run out of new stuff from the demo?

Stages (seem to only be covering new and returning stages not in SSB4):

-Saffron City
-Frigate Orpheon
-New Pork City

Pokeball Pokemon:

-Scizor
-Togemaru

Assist Trophies:

-Sticker Arcade Rabbit

Items:

-Banana gun
-Crash bomb (Kirby)
-Fake Smash Ball

Am I missing anything? I know that we're almost already a third of the way to the game's launch but I had forgotten what a master at stalling for time Sakurai was. How the hell did any of us make it through the 18 month Brawl and 15 month SSB4 wait?
Welllll we technically don't know whether all stages will receive updates or not. The Mega Man stage got an update but it was also technically different (combining 3DS and Wii U elements). I do think by the end of August we will have covered more or less everything in the demobuild, except maybe characters.

Random thought that just popped into my head, what if we got a combined Skull Kid and Geno reveal trailer?! Wouldn't that just be the most perfect thing ever? The story writes itself with Young Link following Geno through the Lost Woods when they are suddenly attacked by Skull Kid and it just gets weirder from there.
Two of my three most wanted in one awesome trailer? YES PLEASE.

I’d love stages for third party series that have no playable representation.

Like a ****ing Chrono Trigger, Mystical Ninja or Resident Evil stage would be hella cool.

I'm sad. The lack of information is killing me and i find myself lurking these forums less and less, a few months ago i was excited to visit here for any kind of news about Smash but nothing is happening :EvilBub:. Hope we get a real believable leak or some actual info on smash very soon! I feel like i sometimes forget the game is even releasing this year :kirby:

I just realized that this is probably Snake's last Smash rodeo and it makes me sad.
Atleast he gets to have another go...might get more unless Konami does something foolish or Sony buys the franchise to piss many fans off

Tbh, this might be a lot of characters' last playable appearance. It's weird to think about.

Most likely because they're keeping things under tight wraps now comparing to the previous two (three of you count Wii U/2DS separate) games

Well, THIS adds an interesting wrinkle.

Well, well, well...this is quite an interesting twist here. I'm not crazy about this sudden move, but if Sega is using Crash, this will help push his chances into possibly DLC

Shantae
Kiddy Kong
Rayman
Urban Champion

If you know me well enough, it's a no-brainer.



Not really, aside from DAYTONAAAAAAAAA flavor being infused into a F-Zero medley.

Edit: Huh, kinda missed the Peach's Castle focus.
If Sega are publishing Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy on Switch in Japan.

Crash/Sonic Crossover, please?

Brawl's first year was truly evil. Anyways, at least we're not doomed to an update like "You Must Recover!"

Remember how people analyzed that there would be a character reveal for that?

I know we're going through a drought of information, but try to stay patient. Honestly, this is nothing compared to the six month drought between E3 2013 and Rosalina's reveal.

There's less than five months until Ultimate releases, so they have to give us more info sooner or later. Just hang in there for a little while longer.

Serious question: why should we give a chance to a text leak with literally nothing backing it up? I don't care if it's viable or not, it's literally just a "believable" text leak. We get hundreds every single day.
I'm of the opinion that we give every "leak" the benefit of the doubt and entertain the notion that it could be the one.
  • No one believed ChaosZero, and his posts on GameFAQs were taken down by moderators multiple times. In DMs they called him a troll.
  • The other true Brawl leaker was also treated as a troll, and had their post edited by the moderators of this site to make them look that way.
  • People scoffed at Gematsu before Wii Fit Trainer was revealed, and still didn't believe it after that.
  • Ninka/Vaanrose was widely doubted despite the evidence it gave.
  • The ESRB leak was infamously detested, with people doing mental gymnastics to disprove it, hence the "Shulk is a photoshopped Little Mac" meme.
  • A leak of Smash Bros. Ultimate that predicted all veterans, Ridley, and Daisy showed up a day or two before E3 and everyone laughed at it.
  • People are still (somewhat rightfully) skeptic of Vergeben despite his claims being correct so far.

Every real leak has been laughed at, so each leak that we laugh at could be the one.

I know that Sega publishing Crash in Japan doesn't increase Smash chances in the slightest, but it's still a fun sense of irony, given how Sega and Sony were rivals back in the day.

Now, Kirby has completed the anime circle...
Yet no one will translate it (unless the Rainbow Resort folks are dedicated enough to get some translators).

It's like no one ever heard of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Besides the Nintendo characters and Sonic/Bayo, nobody is safe
I think Pac-Man is fine as long as Bandai Namco are involved with making the game (unless they suddenly drop Smash support for some silly reason like hating money). Aside from that, yeah.
