Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[TMNTSSB4]

I can already taste the hype of the Goddess of Nature having any sort of Smash Ultimate appearance...anything...and also K Rool obviously

 

[P.Kat]

Take your most wanted newcomer and turn them into an assist trophy. What would they do?

I'll start.

Joker
-Summons Arsene to use Eiha, which deals a small amount of damage (similar to the Lip's stick effect) and debuffs the opponents attack, defense, and speed.

Amaterasu
-Uses the Celestial Brush to randomly target an enemy or location and draws over them. Various things she draws are:
A Line- cuts through foes when drawn on them
Cherry Bomb- Big bomb, bigger explosion
Windstorm- Blows enemies off stage
Firestorm, Blizzard, or Thunderbolt- Burns, freeze, or zaps enemies for major damage and knockback

Cooler has been officially revealed for Dragon Ball FighterZ

 

[KMDP]

Phew... finally caught up after yesterday.

Hahhh... well, I'd like to stay up and see if anything comes of the Melee Top 8, but I have to go to bed.

Night all.
I'm going to leave and something crazy is going to happen, isn't it?

Tune in 8/8 at 7am PT for a Super #SmashBrosUltimate Direct livestream, featuring new game information delivered by director Masahiro Sakurai! pic.twitter.com/Df3xxTCTGR

...*sigh*

Turns out August 8th is "closer to December" after all and that Bill said that as a PR statement
who could have possibly known

Yes, who could have possibly guessed a PR Spokesman would use PR Speak, eh, Toaster Brains?

I hope Soul Calibur is coming to Switch.

Man, this is a great time for fighting games, from the ashes of MVCI everyone is reborn as their best selves.

I mean SNK when from being MIA to being as healthy as Mai's bosom. What a fine year.

DB FighterZ (Good) and MVCI (Bad) obviously inspired everyone to do better.

And do better they shall.

Honestly, 1 new reveal and 1 echo per Direct sounds like a good number.


However, they're really pushing the 8 thing here.

Even the periods that separate the date are octagons.

Also, finally. I made a Bingo Card Template for people to use.

If it wasn't obvious, it was a prod on the people who kept insisting that Bill literally meant within a much closer proximity to December.

 

[zeldasmash]

Base Goku and Base Vegeta for August 8th for DBZF.....coincidence?

I THINK NOT

I would probably question why this thing's an assist trophy and not a pokeball for starters.

But yeah, my most wanted stuff is in. I mean, there's stuff I'd like to see such as Decidueye/Mimikyu and Bandana Dee, but since we got Ridley I don't think there's anything I'm sorely missing left. Bring on more newcomers any way though.

 

[KMDP]

Yeah, I was agreeing with you.

The PR GUY used PR SPEAK, who knew!?

 

[BlondeLombax]

TEHPONYCORN, I NEED TO KNOW, WHICH LEAKS MENTIONED A DIRECT ON THE 8TH CONCERNING SMASH?!!

 

[Zinith]

TEHPONYCORN, I NEED TO KNOW, WHICH LEAKS MENTIONED A DIRECT ON THE 8TH CONCERNING SMASH?!!

That seems like a lot of backlog to figure out...

 

[RandomAce]

So I came back from DBFZ Fighters and I have to tell you, that match with Goichi and SonicFox was insane. Goichi got so angry at being in losers that he just demolished SonicFox at first.

But he LLLLOOOOSSSTTT... he was so close! That was great grand finals. There were also no announcements by the way for DBFZ.

I’m still recovering from that Smash Direct announcement from Melee’s finals at EVO and how it’s coming in 3 Days! I’m so excited!

It's fake.

The footage comes from a Tales of pachislot machine.

How do you guys even find these?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

TEHPONYCORN, I NEED TO KNOW, WHICH LEAKS MENTIONED A DIRECT ON THE 8TH CONCERNING SMASH?!!

NONE.

I made a post addressing it earlier, which I'll post here:

I have one supposed leak detailing an August Smash Bros. direct:
Direct somewhere in august, not entirely sure.
Smash Run will come back.
Thats all I know, peace.
Oh yeah, and I know that MANY people have said that King K. Rool is coming in, he is. Due to his popularity in Japan and the fact that we need more DK reps, Nintendo decided to do DK fans a favor and add K. Rool in.

There's also loz18's supposed leak, which seems to be more and more true as time goes on.

Why do I know a lot of supposed leaks are about to die.

You'd be surprised at how good 4chan is at figuring things out.

 

[SvartWolf]

wait... did sakurai said EYE? Dude, my favorite Nintendo character is happening!!!!

Spoiler: Best Nintendo character ever

 

[zeldasmash]

Also, Cooler for FighterZ is amazing. I can finally have Frieza/Cooler in a team.

 

[PeridotGX]

Joker
-Summons Arsene to use Eiha, which deals a small amount of damage (similar to the Lip's stick effect) and debuffs the opponents attack, defense, and speed.

Marx
-Teleports around the stage and releases four cutter blades randomly. Final attack uses a Black Hole.

 

[Pyra]

Yeah, I was agreeing with you.

The PR GUY used PR SPEAK, who knew!?

I keep misreading your posts because I keep trying to do that after doing some kind of homework or project or something. Sorry for consistently victimizing you, it probably won't stop.

Well, if I was on the hunt for what could possibly constitute that footage and didn't just assume it was custom, and it seemed like people didn't already know what i was from, I'd probably look towards weird obscure games that character has been in.

It turns out Pachislot machines count.

Also, it's obviously easier to think that way in hindsight, but it makes it easier to remember for the future.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Jesus christ what have i started?

Madness

Joker

Crash

Chargestowards the nearest enemy and delivers a small to moderate amount of damage with his signature spin attack. Can be combo'd depends on how quickly one is to escape the attack. Towards the end of the attack, Crash will jump in the air and deliver a belly drop attack.

...that's the best I got since I'm not good with making these types of stuff lmao

I agree completely.

Everyone needs to keep this in mind: Your favorite character isn't safe from this.

I swear to god, if Crash gets revealed as an Assist Trophy...

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

Smash 4 got booed out of reality, Leffen won a national, and Negan is coming to Tekken. I picked a good second to look away from FGC.

 

[BlondeLombax]

NONE.

I made a post addressing it earlier, which I'll post here:

I would imagine that this is an accurate representation of you right about now...

Or, pretty much any time there's a leak genocide.

 

[Pyra]

Little Assist Trophy Shadow Boy for Smash!!!

 

[KMDP]

Hey, don't worry about it!

Also, I think that my Bingo Template, while a bit on the small side, is pretty good for five minutes work. XD

If anyone's wondering why it's so small, it's because I went for an 8x8 theme (the squares are 64x64, and the borders are 8 pixels wide).

 

[Zinith]

It wouldn't really make sense for Boshi to be an Assist Trophy considering my boi is already a character and Boshi really doesn't have any moveset ideas unique from my boi that they could exploit for an AT.

 

[Omega Tyrant]

wait... did sakurai said EYE? Dude, my favorite Nintendo character is happening!!!!

Spoiler: Best Nintendo character ever

He said red eye, so Mr I is essentially deconfirmed, sorry maybe he'll get in as DLC.

 

[RandomAce]

Sakurai retweeted the announcement posted and said something about feeling tired and his eyes being red, could this be a hint?

Are you actually serious?

The man can’t take posting a single thing without being bombarded with “OH THIS MUST BE A CLUE FOR SO AND SO” or “PLEASE ADD THIS CHARACTER”.

No it doesn’t mean King K. Rool is in, no it doesn’t mean something is going to happen, it means that the man has been working his *** off for the past few years to make Ultimate the best it can be and hard he has worked on the upcoming Direct.

That’s it. Don’t go reading too much into statements. It’s like how some people though we were getting nothing until October/November because they said it was “closer to December” and read too much into it, but look at this, we have a Smash dedicated direct in the upcoming three days, so there goes that.

 

[SlickWylde]

Oh wow, look! Nintendo is doing a Direct right in between EVO and Gamescom? And *gasp* it's this week? Who would've guessed?? This ****ing guy, that's who!




Pay up that imaginary cash Slick!

When I first saw the announcement on FB I was like "Oh, awesome!! Oh... can't wait to see people gloating and tagging me on Smashboards."

Technically they could choose not to reveal a character though

 

[CrusherMania1592]

It wouldn't really make sense for Boshi to be an Assist Trophy considering my boi is already a character and Boshi really doesn't have any moveset ideas unique from my boi that they could exploit for an AT.

Boshi as an AT would be boss

I mean...he can zoom and dash attacking players proclaiming he's the best racer around

 

[Inawordyes]

Okay, so here’s something to potentially keep in mind.

During the SM4SH hype cycle, as vets got shown off on the website, there were cases where an entire game’s characters got shown off prior to a newcomer being shown because they were included in their videos. It happened with Rosalina and Robin/Lucina.

Now, obviously we have every single veteran revealed. However, we have been getting daily updates with character spotlights. It probably would mean nothing for Ultimate considering the circumstances, but in lieu of the above, are there any games that have had all their playable vets featured yet?

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

I would imagine that this is an accurate representation of you right about now...

Or, pretty much any time there's a leak genocide.

This is how to best put it:

"I felt a great disturbance in the force...As if millions of "leaks" were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

 

[Zinith]

I want to ask this again:

I think this relates to Smash Ultimate. When the game releases, will there be openings to get on the Rankings Team? I feel like that would be something I'd be good at

 

[MainJPW]

So I came back from DBFZ Fighters and I have to tell you, that match with Goichi and SonicFox was insane. Goichi got so angry at being in losers that he just demolished SonicFox at first.

But he LLLLOOOOSSSTTT... he was so close! That was great grand finals. There were also no announcements by the way for DBFZ.

Sonic Fox calmed him down, that side switch was Goichi's downfall lol.

Those AT deconfirms are gonna destroy a lot of people, I can't get excited for that.

 

[WallyPalmer]

I think we all know who would make the best Assist Trophy...

Spoiler: him.

 

[MSmariosonic]

I had like this weird dream where an early smash direct was announced during the melee top 8.

Yeah it's absurd I know.

 

[MamaLuigi123456]

I'm taking the whole "eye strain" thing with a grain of salt.

Really what I'm more worried about is what characters are getting deconfirmed as ATs.

 

[Pyra]

Can master hand be an assist trophy?

I mean, in addition to being a boss, because it’s not like you’re going to use ATs on his boss fight anyway.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

I think we all know who would make the best Assist Trophy...

Spoiler: him.

I nearly read this as PowerPuff Girls' Him LMAO

 

[RandomAce]

The perfect assist trophy:

(Oh god, I hope that this doesn’t happen.)

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Can someone, anyone, please explain this "Loz18" thing to me?

Dovahkiin -

Comes onstage and uses the Unrelenting Force shout a few times in various directions, causing high knockback. Ends it all by calling a dragon down to roast the stage.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I'll take it over him not being in the game again, honestly. At least it's something.

Only if he does the "Just right" meme.

 

[Pakky]

Hey man, its always good to take a break after a hard day at work;

Fulgore is like, my most wanted fighter (and one I'll never see happening sadly) ever since I thought; he's fun to use and has a "killer" design.

In case you're back into making icons, maybe a Rash(Battletoads) & Scorpion icon would be fantastic. But as I said, take a break.

Spoiler: Rash

Okay last one
