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.

I wonder if Isabelle fans will accept Ridley throwing her on Samus's ship then blowing it up.

If she's coming
The same way fans of Kirby, Pikachu, Pichu, Jigglypuff, Peach, Daisy, basically any Nintendo character that doesn't normally get blown up via plasma, which is uh most of them?

It's a non-canon crossover game. I'm sure she'd get some really cute "OUCH" expression when she's hit but everyone will survive. If I was her fan I'd rather her be in than not.

Isabelle is a cinnamon roll and all, but it is just a game, so her just getting obliterated by Ridley is not going to matter too much.
Plus I am focusing on winning and having fun. :p
This is a fighting game. I doubt anyone would care about their fave getting hurt.
well, some Waluigi fans care, though

Then she would live from the blast and not get hurt at all.

I am sorry, but she is getting blasted on that ship whenever you like it or not. :p
And the people in that clip were killed by Nappa's attack. I'm not even that big of an Isabelle fan. If Isabelle being blown up by Ridley really hurts someone, they can just say she escaped on her parachute because it's Sunday.

It's not like Isabelle gets murdered, she'll be enthusiastically clapping for Ridley on the victory screen if she loses. Smash is canonically a friendly competition, not a death match.
It's so weird to think of :ultganondorf:and :ultridley:joining a friendly competition when they are borderline if not fully genocidal murderers. And yet I will probably try to main both

This. I know I basically said the same but I do wanna reiterate that Smash is a friendly competition and not a death match. People act like this game is mortal combat and we're about to watch Isabelle's spine get torn out lol.

Edit: I just remembered someone on here, months ago, talking about Isabelle not getting in the game because Nintendo wouldn't show her getting "killed". They used killed! Relax people lol.

Just as weird as watching them wear bunny hoods and tanooki tails and eating spicy curry that makes them comically jump up and down lol.

Well she is still getting blasted by Ridley's Final Smash either way. I guess you can say that she escaped through a parachute to avoid Ridley's attack, but the blast or it's shock wave if it had one would have to reach her because she is getting damaged by that final smash.

They can imagine, but they are wrong.

Ehh... I'd prefer the former two. The KI representation is fine as is, and I'd rather wait until Ultimate has been out for a while before we get the announcement of another KI title. Otherwise, we're getting even more saturation of the series in this game.
More saturation is good for me (I need Viridi and Viridi alone...3 characters and a Dark Pit)
It would be "Isaac" and "Golden Sun remake/sequel" for me. :laugh:
That would also work since he looks cool
She escaped on her parachute.

I was thinking this would be a Team Four Star video

Ridley is also a cannibal...they just let anyone not named Waluigi join the fight

Vergeban's back huh?

Isabelle makes a lot of sense, she checks off everything that you'd be looking for with a character (highly popular and may've well in the ballot, promoted, relevant, in a big franchise with a future, you name it) so I can easily see her being playable.

I wonder if Isabelle fans will accept Ridley throwing her on Samus's ship then blowing it up.

Just as much as we (as Ridley fans) are going to be fine with her beating the crap out of Ridley in turn.

At the end of the day, they're not going to mind either way because they're still going to be playing as the character they love, and that's what Smash is all about. That is not nearly that much of a deterrent for what you get out of having fun with the character that you want to see.

My new favorite pro-Isabelle rebuttal

"Who says Ridley is even gunna get a chance to touch Isabelle? Ridley is combo fodder and Isabelle is top tier, she can handle herself just fine :chuckle:"

This post is exactly right. :)

Like focus on Smash Bros, not on Isabelle getting brutally brainblasted by Ridley's Jimmy Neutron laser breath and screaming because Isabelle got hurt like that.
( Okay, I do not watch Jimmy Neutron. )

Vergeben really isn't very credible. He gets reports right, but he has also gotten many things wrong in the past.

I wonder how she did on the ballot.
Probably not very well at all, considering she was an Assist Trophy and possibly wouldn't be a unique fighter.

I think people are overestimating how well some characters did in the ballot, such as Ashley and Ridley. Ashley was an Assist Trophy and Ridley was a boss again, with the stigma of being too big to add to Smash. A lot of people (such as myself) wouldn't have wanted to waste their vote on a character they knew wouldn't be added to Smash 4.

Although I never really understood how the ballot worked anyway... was it actually possible to vote more than once? Did the results get skewed?

so just those two?
You can say all games, Smash canon is very loose. Even Subspace Emissary might be a child's scenario.

We know it's not canon in any of the franchises in it because a lot of things are different. I like to think it as its own thing. Less references to fret about.

No clue. While lots were able to exploit the ballot to vote for more than one character, we still have no idea what the final results are. It's a glorified suggestion box and all, but still, it's nebulous.

I thought it would be pointless, so I just voted for Homura.

She's got so much evidence in her favor, it's just a matter of time.

People voted like ten times for the characters they wanted. Ballot results never should be sole reason for a character's inclusion.

I like that about the series, it doesn't concern itself with convoluted scenarios and gets straight to the goods.

In regards to Homuras, the one in Senran Kagura is my second favorite character after Katsuragi (also, looking forward to Peach Ball on the Switch).

Only problem is they might go for Asuka first instead.

Well... besides Kid Icarus Uprising. XD
Although whether that continues with Ultimate is something we know nothing about. For all we know the Snake codecs may have gotten more priority over the Guidances.

I absolutely adore Isabelle, but once she's in the game she's getting smacked off-screen as fast as possible, no hesitation, no mercy. There are no friends in free-for-alls.
Robin apologises if he beats Lucina? ...it's something, right?

But did Sakurai post a picture of that Homura on his Twitter account? I think not. Homura Akemi is a shoe-in at this point. She's been in so many games, 2 Japan exclusive PSP games, 2 Japan exclusive mobile games, and cameos in many other Japan only games. She's the perfect choice for a globally recognizable and realizable gaming icon.

Aside from one small problem; she started out as an anime character, so that disqualifies her. She doesn't have much more chances than DB!Goku, sadly.

Besides, Madoka would have the priority, since she's the protag.

Let's say that Isabelle was put into the game and Vergeben was right. Would she be an echo or a brand new character?
