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.

It would be weird to have Plusle and Minun be separate fighters.
True, but I wouldn't want them to be a pair like Ice Climbers. Maybe if you could choose between the two when changing the alts

why do you have two f. wire frames?
I didn't realize they were both female when I first made them. I thought one was male and one was female because they both look a bit different

All in all I still think people are putting just a little too much stock in the Mii Costume theory

Dunban’s still deconfirmed and I doubt we’ll get a playable Chocobo lol

inb4 a leak pops up with Akira from Virtua Fighter
I'm thinking that maybe there are two types of Mii costumes:
Derived from something already in the game: the playable character Mii costumes, Dunban, Mega Mans, Isabelle, K.K., Chrom, Ashley, Takamaru, etc.
And the very suspicious ones: Geno, K.rool, Zero, Lloyd, Heihachi, Inkling, Black Knight, Monster Hunter, etc.
I don't think they'll all make it as playable, but they'll probably have some sort of presence in the game.

I think DLC will either be third party focused.
Rayman, Crash etc
Or characters from the switch focused.
Rex, Springman etc.

That only makes his chances stronger.

I always found it kinda weird how he didn't even get to be an Assist.

Specifically, the Knight who may or may not be Zelgius is in this picture... waaaaaaaaaaay in the back.

The lighting of the stage makes the red armour look more like the Black Knight's colouration; you have to actually look at the model itself via hacking to know the armour isn't actually black.

Also, Arigarmy, don't forget that Zelgius's armour is red. :laugh:
I mean an Ultimate pic where it shows him with his mew coloration

What if they decide to go with the original tag team idea for Dixie, but instead of Diddy they use Kiddy as her partner?

Man! I'm so excited for Ultimate's dynamic lighting! Some of the stages look gorgeous now, like Suzaku Castle and Mushroom Kingdom U.

Any idea how legit this list is?
The list is just combined list of all the polls I found during the ballot. I took every source I could find and so some people might have voted multiple times on ballots. Either way, it should give a general idea of how the ballot went.

Oh, I know, it's just really really hard to find.

Someone mentioned it about a week ago, but there are no pictures anywhere.

I feel like I'd have to trawl through demo footage to find it, and... well... there's a lot and I don't really want to.

I think what has actually happened is that the model in the back hasn't been changed (well, changed much), and the improved lighting makes the Knight's original colour more obvious, making people think it's a different character when it isn't really.

Either that or they made the red colouration more obvious regardless of lighting so that people don't mistake him for Black Knight, because Black Knight is playable now.

Oh okay. Goodness, Isabelle isn't on any of them but that doesn't ruin her chances of course

Ignoring fake leaks, I'm going to pull a percentage out of thin air and give the BK a 30% chance of getting in. He's got a lot going for him as an echo. He had the same teacher and an identical blade to Ike, he's popular, he had a mii costume, and that random background NPC had his armor changed to look less like him as well as Ike's BK pallete being given a red tint.

However we're already getting Chrom on top of Lucy, so more FE echoes might be pushing it. And as mentioned before, his armor might have serious clipping issues.

Like I've said many times in the past, I think the exit polls are inherently flawed, but I do think they're more accurate than I was willing to admit at the time.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...edit?usp=drive_web&ouid=109988290884390922635

I compiled this poll data from every source I could find when I was running SSB4Dojo. Simon Belmont was 28th globally
And number 19 when you leave out Japan, which I'm willing to do if only because the Japanese data is not a true poll.

Although I find it odd to add a character to Shulk's Final Smash when there was no 4-member Chain Attacks in that game
For the same reason Ness and Lucas have two of their allies join too I guess?

The funny thing is, I like to think for Shulk’s, they coulda used Fiora’s early game appearance as opposed to what’s currently there, at least

Yeah, she had 33 votes on one single poll. No other poll really had her. Her stock really has gone up.

Yeah, I was just pulling everything together. Not saying to take it as the true way things will continue going forward but after turning things green based on what we have received so far, that is good seeing 7 of the top 15 are in even if that included 3 returning fighters (Bayonetta would be new for the poll purposes)

It's gone up? Recently? How old is this?

I meant in terms of how much she has been talked about. I think people mostly thought of her as a side character at the time that the ballots were being done but discussion of her has really gone up since Nintendo started promoting her more and more. All these numbers are from 2015 during the ballot. The final update I made to it was December 3rd, 2015. Only just highlighted the current known fighters in green and assists in red.

Sorry about double post
Banjo and Kazooie are a lot higher than I thought they would be. I know it’s impossible, but I’d love to seek them. Side note, I used to follow your blog back in the Smash 4 days so it’s great seeing you here.

Going by SSB4Dojo SSB4Dojo 's Poll Data. Isaac is actually fairly level with K. Rool.

Of course, as vaanrose vaanrose has stated many, many times; exit polls are dubious at best, because the Smash fanbase has way more reach than a few thousand fans on the Internet; not only that, but some of the poll votes almost assuredly overlap.

Actually, that reminds me, I voted on that one Reddit Survey that was held a while ago. I was one of the three people who said they wanted Stage Builder back. :laugh:

IT'S TIME TO GET FUNKY!!!!


So here's how a Funky Kong Echo could work. Recycle old DK custom moves from Smash 4 and give em' to Funky. Most notably Storm Punch and Kong Cyclone to give him a wind box themed move set that reflect his job at Funky Flights. (maybe tweak Kong cyclone since it was pretty janky)
DK punch.PNG Dk Spin.PNG

Throw some clothes on the DK model, give him some unique idle animations to show his radical personality, have him use his surfboard with his taunts, and use the jumbo barrel as his character intro. Bam! You got yourself an easy and bodacious echo.

We already have Knuckles, all we would need is Dante From The Devil May Cry® Series to complete the holy trinity.

Oh okay. I didn't know you already said that. This is my first time seeing this poll.

Always nice to see people remember the work I did. That was a long 2.5 years covering everything. Glad to just sit back and ride this one out this time rather than being glued to my phone 24/7. Now I can survive being glued 22/7 and have 2 hours for some other parts of life.

So she wasn't very popular when Sakurai made the roster for Ultimate? Hmm... Well, even if she's not very popular, I still think she has a very good chance

This is really awesome, thank you! Definitely keeping an eye on this for the next few months.
It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. This was compiled back in 2015 from several polls so accuracy might not be 100% being from smash fans mostly BUT should still give a general idea.

What if the new mode is a story mode... but is not over at release? like, you have the first 5 episodes, and then they release new episodes every month, that way future DLC characters could appear later on in the story mode.

Here are some of my predictions for Smash Ultimate
-6 more Unique characters & 4 more Echo Fighters.
-103 is just a placeholder number for the amount of stages, similar to when the website said 65 fighters was the total.
-The Spirits mode will be a mixture of the Adventure of Melee & Subspace Emissary.
-Every announcer from the franchise will return.
-Every iteration Battlefield & Final Destination will return.
-Meta Crystal will be a playable stage.
