Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Zinith]

Usually when Nintendo does game-specific Directs, don't they still run general Directs on their usual schedule?

I don't even know if there's a schedule.

 

[Jetsurge]

What's the likelyhood we'll see another direct between the one on the 8th and release?

They will probably be another normal Nintendo direct and then another Smash direct right before release

 

[Noipoi]

Best timeline is Ashley is announced and the trailer is her beating up bayo and claiming her spot as smashes true witch

Best timeline is Ashley is announced in general!
Is that Mahiru in your sig?

I really had to restrain myself to not make every other box Ashley...

Huh? Did you say something?

 

[Idon]

Yes, that is baseball-chan.

 

[Will]

Honestly, I'm not looking forward to any character confirmations.

Spoiler

I'm looking forward to that sweet sweet deconfirmation spree that'll put my investment on the salt mining stock market worth it.

You know what I want that payback.
It doesn't matter who it is, no mercy will be shown to those unlucky.

[Radical Bones]

I just want to know what game modes we have and if they are going to be good or not. I'm very nervous to see Classic Mode, if there is an Adventure Mode and even what the trophy collecting method is.

As a completionist, these are v. important.

 

[Onua]

Idk im a lil bit nervous Ashley will just be an assist trophy again and well get someone like rex or springman

idk lol im excited but nervous

 

[EnthusedPanda]

Hey guys, is there some kind of mailing list (via Reddit otherwise) that can provide a spoiler-free, direct link to the upcoming direct? Thanks!

 

[Shroob]

That's a fear of mine as well.

I'm having minor surgery done the day before the direct, so there's no chance in hell I'll be awake at 7am, but I know when I do wake up, if I search for "Smash Direct", spoilers will be everywhere.

Here's a direct link to the stream as well:

Feliz Navidad.

 

[Impa4Smash]

I just realized. Since this is a Smash Direct, they NEED to have another general one soon after to talk about the online service. Remember that was a thing? Me neither...

Maybe in September? Right before online launches. Then they can talk about fall/winter games too


And reveal another character...

 

[Staarih]

I'm expecting, like, one new character from the Direct, but I hope we see more Assist Trophies, Pokémon and whatnot which could potentially disconfirm some characters. While it would be nerve-wracking, it would spice up speculation a bit.

If you live in the UK, go here.
Of course, it's not like it makes much of a difference either way.

Okay, so veteran changes. (yes yes I know. Zinith and his boi...) Obviously the characters who are in the demo build have been talked to death. What characters do you want to see shown off and what changes do you want to see in this Direct?

Here are the remaining characters that weren't in the build:
ultshulk:

ultshulk:

Of these my most wanted would be Olimar, the echoes and Robin.
Olimar because he was my main but was a lot worse in Smash For.
The Echoes so that we can see the extend of the differences they can have. We have seen Pit and Dark Pit in Smash For but we have yet to see if Dark Pit received some small changes.
Robin so that we can see his Final Smash and Chrom's fate.

 

[wildvine47]

K. Rool being announced as playable is obviously best case scenario, but at the very least I hope that the Assist Trophy of Doom spares him come Wednesday. The longer he evades that most dreaded of trophies the better I feel about him. Even if he’s not in the base game, at least avoiding the kiss of death that is AT-hood gives him a fighting chance to be DLC.

 

[SuperSceptile15]

Guys... Why does an ad for ASHLEY Homestore keep showing up on this site for me? Could it be a hint for something?

If he was as important as to be a DLC fighter, he wouldn't be an Assist Trophy in the first place.

ultshulk:

I'm mostly interested in seeing Peach / Daisy differences and their Final Smashes. Also, I wanna know if Robin's Final Smash still has Chrom in it.

Otherwise, I guess I'd like to see more of how Pichu, Young Link, and Wolf have changed, as well as Palutena and Diddy Kong.

ultshulk:

One thing I want to know is exactly what they meant by Miis getting ready for online. They weren’t very specific about it at E3 and the wording seemed non-committal, like they weren’t sure if it’d actually work.

I would like to see if anything else in particular is new about R.O.B. but I kinda doubt it beyond smaller changes to animations and whatnot, Dthrow burying is already pretty significant though.

I’d also like to see more of G&W’s new move animations, and changes to characters in general including much of what other users already stated.

 

[Zinith]

I don't need to answer my own question. You all know who I want to see and what changes...

 

[P.Kat]

Here are the remaining characters that weren't in the build:
ultshulk:

I want Lucina to be shown, I also want to see Lucario, I would like him to be faster (along with his slow Smash attacks and movement), with shorter frame data even if his Aura mechanic is weaker for it. Most likely since transformations Final Smashes are cutscene now, I just want to see Lucario going Mega, and using an improved version of Aura Storm.

Give Roy sometime to shine, and give him Super Armor on his moves like Little Mac, to make his close combat style of fighting a little less sufferable.

Show off Palutena, and for the love of all that is steak, increase the force and range of her windbox on her F-Smash, and D-Smash to make up for how slow a laggy they are, and decrease the frame rate of her moves especially her tilts, and aerials, and specials.

ultshulk:

I want to know more about my main :ultrobin Does she play any differently from 4? And what's her final smash?

Besides that I'd like to see some of my secondaries - , (who is replacing Peach for me), and my boy . I wanna see if he truly is a glass cannon.

 

[DarkFalcon]

Man, I want Ashley so bad. A direct right off the heels of WarioWare Gold's release is the perfect place to reveal her, but I'm also scared we'll get mass assist trophy death part 2 and she'll be in there.

Personally I'd like to see the changes to the Clone/Echo Characters (), mainly the differences between Toon Link and Young LInk, and what stops Pichu and Dr. Mario from being Echo Characters.

Or best timeline is they are witch buddies and you don't bring any of that trivial nonsense into character reveals.

Bayo main detected.

They booed your character at EVO.

There is only one true witch anyway.

And

And what of it?

Look she needs some tweaking, but I can't help this community is immature and childish about it.

Guys, did any of you heard this?
This guy has big news!

You're being silly over what someone said should happen to Bayonetta is what's what.

Deleted the ones I don't care about.

Luigi: Anything...maybe an easier mashable cyclone please. And more useful tilts, hopefully his new ones are.

Doc: Faster.

Pichu: Buffs. Way more preferred than Pikachu

Game and watch: More animation changes,they look great!

MK: Idk, I've just always liked MK (but suck with him)

Wario: More Wario world moves. Please?

Rob: what other changes beyond burying...curious.

Wolf: Move changes. I miss his old nair though.

Wft: Buffs please.

Robin: FASTER PLEASE.

Shulk: How fluid he is with new monado changes

DH: Trying out his new non helpless up b...may become a lot scarier.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Nah, you and them are being silly latching onto the ''Hate Bayonetta" train.

I'm not silly to be defending one of my fav characters in gaming. You two are being silly and childish to purely hate her over balance issues.

They'll be looked at before or shortly after game release I'm sure. It doesn't make the booing or posts like that or you telling me ''Oh did you know that they booed your character at Evo?" alright to say until then though.

 

[NeonBurrito]

Bayonetta? My, she's quite lame!
There's only room for one witch in this game!

If we somehow get Banjo & Kazooie in Smash, we better get Gruntilda's Lair as a stage, where she just insults characters in rhyme. I'd kill for that.

For one, I personally haven't seen Onua say anything about Bayonetta's balance issues. They don't even mention it in the post that you responded to. You are too emotionally involved with your character. It has made you blind to what is right in front of you. And I don't truly care about Bayonetta's balance issues because I actually don't even play Smash 4.

Second, you are getting upset because someone said Ashley should trash Bayo for not being the true witch. This is Super Smash Bros. These characters did not come together to bake pies. Grow a thicker skin.
