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.

But you guys, K. Rool is too obscure. Kids today won't know who he is!:troll:

Man that was an awesome direct. Simon, Richter, Chrom, Dark Samus and K. Rool. I can't say I'm dsappointed.

I swear to God I thought Zero was a playable character. I legitimately got baited by Nintendo.

OMG I am actually more stunned by this than Ridley's inclusion. My heart can't take this. Sakurai just confirm 80% of my wishlist. The only gut punch was Zero, Mimikyu and Shovel Knight

Ok so

- Simon’s in!!!
- I was not expecting Richter at all!
- Chrom finally got his chance!
- I’m really happy for you K. Rool fans, not much of a fan of him myself but I was clapping cause I’m happy to see you guys happy
- 900+ MUSIC TRACKS!!
- sadly, RIP Ashley, got AT’d again
- RIP Mimikyu also, Pokeball. So Verg was right about the new Gen 7 playable not being Mimikyu at least
- Kapp’n is the new AT for AC though
- so Isabelle imminent??
- no Bandana Dee or Elma, but I’m sure they’ll be saved for a later direct. At least they’re not ATs.

Man, I didn't expect 5 characters today! HOLY CRAP!

This roster is going to be huge with all the echoes I'm so excited.

Is Chrom an Ike echo or a Roy echo? I'm asking because he's beside Roy on the Smashdown CSS, even though he has Aether. Are echoes not as 1:1 as we thought?

God, Ashley got disconfirmed hard. I'm gonna see major salt about now...

But you know something that's looking good for me...

Chibi Robo hasn't been shown off in any way shape or form...

Ridley and K. Rool, it's a dream come true. One of my most wanted for a while came in!

But two of my most wanted were deconfirmed, it's pretty upsetting but I'm still grateful nonetheless!

Well, this was even cooler than I expected.

THE KROCK'S FINALLY MADE IT.

Alas, this means Dixie's probably deconfirmed, she could really been in that trailer too.

He really is making this the Ultimate game. He's giving us our wishes. He even made Shovel Knight an assist!

So, who's the next character we circlejerk after K. Rool?

Geno? Isaac? Banjo & Kazooie? Rayman?

But for real though, congratulations to K. Rool's supporters! I'm glad for you.

More newcomers are on the way as well, which is exciting. I'm already elated with this lineup of newcomers though.

whAT IS THE MYSTERIOUS NEW MODE SAKURAI DON'T DO THIS TO ME

Okay but why is Chrom an Echo? Now he's questioning what an Echo even is at this point.
Is he just an Echo of no particular character but of Fire Emblem itself? Let's count here:

- Roy's Neutral Special
- Marthcinoy's Side Special
- Ike's up special
- Counter (literally everyone except robin)

Huge warioware fan too but goddamn seeing Zero and Shovel Knight done like that made me cringe.

I'm insanely hyped about the stage list and expanded music selection.

Wow and here I expected only about three characters to be revealed, but we ended up with a whopping five instead. Congrats to all the supporters of those characters.

Also my condolence to those who got disconfirmed, but at least they made it into the game and received some acknowledgement. Especially Shovel Knight.

We got 3 new villains, I think this breaks the record of the smash with more villains... I just hope we can get a villain for Ness and for Falcon, after that introduction of the K. Rool trailer.

So that direct taught us a few things about fighters in the game:

1. Echo fighters seem to be a bigger deal than most thought
2. Third Party fighters can receive echo fighters
3. Vergeben only got Simon right (and only partly)
4. KING K. ROOL IS IN SMASH BABY!!!!!!!

Also Fountain of Dreams HD, my life is complete!

Mysterious new mode and the fact that everyone will be shown off before release suggest that there is going to be another Smash direct.

Holy crap that was awesome.

Is this roster going to be huge with echoes liberally thrown in everywhere?

I feel like K. Rool and Ridley being in the game ups Geno's odds. I know they have nothing to do with each other, but those 3 are like, the last holdovers as far as characters that people got really hype for back in the Brawl days go, and going through Rare to get the rights to K. Rool means they'd likely be willing to do the same for Geno. I'm stoked.
