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.

Anyway, I may have to go to bed soon cause I gotta get up early for an interview. I’ll comment on any leaks afterwards.

Night all, and wish me luck!
"Just want to wish you good luck, we're all counting on you."
No, but seriously; Good night, and Good Luck!

Right now I'm banking on those Heihachi "leaks" that @tehponycorn brought up a few days ago.

Two "leaks" from apparently 2 separate people. Both claim they work at Nintendo, one of whom clarified they work at Nintendo of America, and both were sent to work on setting up SSBU for EVO. It's explicitly stated to be an updated build. Each seems to have different motivations; the first is just reporting what they know, the other seems to not care if they lose their job if it means letting people know ahead of time.

Both "leaks" note that there will be a character swap out, with some characters and stages removed from the demo and others added in their place (Snake, Bayonetta and Ridley are some of the removals and among the added fighters are Yoshi, Toon Link and Wolf, along with Heihachi). Both give largely identical information but in a mostly different order, but only one details all the stages (both note that "Final Destination" is being swapped from Omega Battlefield to Omega Suzaku Castle). Also one claims that items will be togglable to on & off in this build, the other merely states the menu layout has changed. Heihachi's stage will be "Dragon's Nest" from the Tekken series, and according to one of the "leakers" it seems to be a cross between that stage's design in Tekken 5 & Tekken 7.

I currently believe these "leaks" because they seem to not share writing styles and noteworthy is that they don't have all the same information, but neither contradicts each other either.

The only way his inclusion would be "controversial" would be if Sakurai only included young Heihachi instead of old Heihachi (or preferably both), or with people who just don't like Tekken.

Guess we'll see in a couple days.
I personally would prefer Ling Xiaoyu, Eddy Gordo, or Jin Kazama instead of Heihachi.
Let's see...

Sega has Bayo and Sonic
Capcom has Ryu and Mega Man
Namco has Pac-Man and reportedly Heihatchi
Konami has Snake and reportedly Simon Belmont

So... who will join Cloud? Geno? Terra? Black Mage? Slime? Anges? Olberic?
My top favorite picks
Sora, Squall, Lightning, Laura Croft, Neku Sakuraba, Tifa, and anyone with a Gunblade. But hopefully Sora.

Don't get too excited yet, we have no idea how heavy Ridley actually is, he could be like Mewtwo and Rosalina for all we know. I personally expect he is going to be a bit lighter than expected, because of his thinness and air affinity, as well as the fact he seems to be designed to be more of a glass cannon.
High weight can also be offset by high gravity and below average falling speed values. Bowser may be the heaviest fighter in Smash 3DS / Wii U, but he's more vulnerable to getting Star KO'd than Donkey Kong and King Dedede.

It’s like 10 here in NY.

Sooooo...
Who’s going to get Super Smash Bros. Ultimate this year?

Can someone link me to where Vergeben mentioned this "controversial" character?
Vergeben never mentioned a controversial chracater. He couldn’t verify anymore newcomers.

Ahh, I live in the UK. At the time of this post it's 3:23. I, uh, definitely shouldn't have stayed up this late! For the second night in a row. :|

If Alm or Edgelard get confirmed for Smash I’m not gonna be happy...

Celica, Lyn, Chrom, Azura, and Tiki I could definitely bare though.

*ATTENTION EVERYONE*

WE ARE NOW ENTERING HYPECON 5. HYPE IS REACHING CRITICAL MASS.
Pff, that Hypecon 5 is for babies.

"What if we get radio silence until a week before the game's launch to have a newcomer revealed every day?"

Next time for Lyn...but Alm/Celica/Chrom for echoes and Anna/Edelgard/Fjorm for unique Smashers

Even better: We get all the Fates royals! Can't wait to play as Camilla, the best FE character. :troll:

Does anyone save the link to these "leaks"?

I still doubt anything will be revealed at EVO. Nothing happened with the other conventions. So why should I suddenly believe this one?

I only see newcomer reveals with Nintendo Directs. Not only that but wouldn't Sakurai mention to stay tune for it as well?

Well he might wait until closer to the reveal, such as tomorrow night. But yeah I wouldn't expect much if neither him or Nintendo mention it.

Well, if Heihachi is in the game, then EVO would be the place to reveal him.

In all seriousness, I wouldn't mind a transforming character like Selkie, Velouria or Panne.

Lynn would've been dope too, though... ;-;

If we're getting a transforming character, I'd like to see Tiki. I want her to call Marth Mar-Mar if she beats him in battle plz
