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.

Holy **** K. Rool looks awesome. That cannonball drop kick combo is serious stuff, makes me think of Duck Hunt, but fat... Fat Duck Hunt. Super surprised by how fast his fall speed is but not complaining at all. Dark Samus looks weirdly fast as well.

Now just gimme some Simon/Richter gameplay, please.

1. Actually I'm playing it logically. The leaker hasn't gotten anything wrong so far and got everything right 5 weeks before the August direct. 3 of his 6 characters were confirmed in one go, with the remaining 50% not being disconfirmed (and Gardevoir had a high chance of being the killer of the leak). I believe leaks based on actual, factual info for the game. Him not finding Simon doesn't discredit him. Several leakers during the brawl days had pieces of the roster and all called each other wrong, when they were all right in the end lmao. And I don't 100% believe the leak, but I don't dismiss leaks that have a track record so far.

2. The Gematsu leak doesn't happen almost ever. Leakers are DUMB. Just like everyone else, there is no logic for what they do or how they do it. People need to stop making assumptions on what they can or can't do.

3. Yea and I still believe Waddle Dee could be an echo fighter. Bite me. People actually liked the idea. Go argue with Dark Samus fans about what they think on their fighter being an echo.




Again, stop assuming the leak was at all from CEO or where it came from. The leaker could have said it came from his buttcrack and it still could be right. Thats exactly what I'm trying to say.
I think it is important to note that regardless of whether you think it is real or not if your argument is that it hasn't been deconfirmed it is a rumour and not a leak. The only time a rumour is a leak is if it is actually confirmed.

I see everyone keeps forgetting the part in the direct that some of simons moves were derived from Ritcher

So Ritcher could have very well been in before Simon was completed

Eh regardless the leak depends on if Gardevoir is playable or a Poke Ball summon again so we have to wait on that. Personally I hope Gardevoir is playable. :3

This is the worst. Everyone just uses leak because it's easier I guess. I always put "leak" in several layers of quotation marks when dealing with rumors because no one uses that word for some reason.

It was just in reference to their genealogy in the Castlevania franchise.

Except no, EVERYONE knows the 'main character first' meaning Simon would have been including, Chrom and Dark Samus were safe picks, especially judging from what Sakurai said. And Gothitelle is what kills it because should Gardevoir have some kicks, which I highly doubt it wouldn't have, Gothitelle would be unable to do the same. ALSO NOBODY LIKES GOTHITELLE
Don't make me go Mike Tyson on your sorry "If they completely change 90% of the moveset and then change the animations for it then it's still an echo" *** because at that point, only the specials would be the same. I am willing to make a ****ing money bet with you like I did with Blue that Bandana Dee wouldn't be an echo. How does 50 euros sound?
I like Gothitelle.

It's not the first time in smash a character borrows moves from another character of the same series

Sakurai might've been like "hey, I might as well add Richter as an echo fighter"

or i'm just wrong

I think Gwen needs to stop making bets she'll easily win. Go for something more daring.

Lol. Except nobody knows if Richter Belmont was the original character (Again, Sakurai even teases who was the original character in the direct). The leaker never said Chrom.

You are making some pretty heavy, biased judgements about what you think the fanbase likes and doesn't like.

Did people like Pit or Palutena? Ice Climbers? Game and Watch? R.O.B? His logic is that Gothitelle would be an echo fighter of Gardevoir, an actual popular pokemon character. I am indifferent to the whole idea anyway.

And lmao, stop getting defensive or angry about somebody else's comments. I merely said I could see it. No he wouldn't have 90% of his animations changed. They'd actually all be the same as Kirby's with the addition of a polearm, and different specials. I'd be estatic about Waddle Dee being an original character and believe he should be. No, i'm not willing to bet for it, because I don't care about it. Its a damn video game lol. Relax.


Who's "Pitcher?" Seems strange that an employee would know the entire list except for what Pokemon is coming. I don't buy it.
Its Richter, the person who is writing definitely does not speak english as his first language (just read the article)

I really hope that Gardevoir appears as a Pokéball summon in the next demo so people can stop arguing about that "leak".

At least this leaker said which Pokémon is getting in. I love all those leaks where they talk about a Gen X rep but dang it I am not certain about which one so sorry teehee. Yah, you know the Gen but you don't know the Pokémon, okay. It's so funny.

This hypothetical makes zero sense too. "The guy made a bull**** story to hide where they actually got it" would mean they know significantly more than what they lead on to believe

Well you don't know what to put in your custom title
Fixed for relevancy.

Gothitelle would make a better Rosalina Echo with Solosis as a Luma Echo.

Gothitelle and Solosis...a winning combination.

Sure, thanks for the reminder. It's basically a universally misunderstood word though at this point. I usually say "potential" leak, so my bad.

I honestly think Gardevoir and Gothitelle would be super cool additions... I think that "leak" is bogus, but I wouldn't be upset having those Pokemon on the roster.

Because Simon is the more iconic of the two, Richter isn't nearly as well-known as Simon
My mistake, but then it just means something else it was wrong about
Yes, Pit was actually a popular request to the point Sakurai talked about it. And yes, Palutena was a popular request? While those other 3 examples aren't popular requests, you're also forgetting one key detail. EVERY CHARACTER SHOWN OFF HAS BEEN A POPULAR CHARACTER. Gothitelle does NOT fit there

Sorry, I just get incredibly annoyed when I see people say the dumbest **** because you said "Just give him the spear and he'll still be an echo!" back then which makes zero sense. Just like how it makes zero sense to turn a character into a stone block and not use a spear outside of maybe one move despite only ever using spears and parasols
Why? He's exactly that in the new Rayman games.
Earth to Echo enthusiast: Globox doesn't have the same proportions as Rayman and Smash would give him more than like 3 attacks

Perhaps the sequel to “Let’s go Pikachu” and “Let’s go Elves” will be “Let’s go Gothitelle”.

It’s the Year of Gothitelle, folks.

Actually Palutena was one of the highest requested characters before her reveal back in 4 speculation days. I remember when she "got leaked" in those images with Mario, people reacted with a lot of praise. The same when she got announced, although she was overshadowed by Pacman.

I assume that comment wasn't meant to be taken so literally and is just a way of acknowledging some of the moves Simon uses debuted in Rondo/Symphony.

I can't really imagine a scenario in which they start designing Richter first and then go "Oh, well lets make this character the echo fighter and make Simon the main character."

What did Sakurai say in the Japanese version anyway?

I really don't think Rayman would even be able to have a clone when his whole gimmick would be centered around not having limbs
How can you not know the iconic main character from "Oh! That's a Baseball!"?
We're finally getting a Jojo rep? Thank god, it was about time.

To me, it really comes down to how far we stretch the term "echoes." Yes, Rayman and Globox have identical playstyles in Origins and Legends, but the look of their moves is completely different, not to mention their height different.

Additionally, I'm unsure of how they would handle special moves. For instance, the "obvious" Rayman Neutral Special would be his iconic Telescopic Fist, where he launches his fist (or a projectile from his fist) forward. It doesn't make as much sense for Globox to do this since he has limbs (although he could just launch a projectile, which is not typical. Which is why I would find it a little strange).
