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.

So take it there's nothing going on if we're calling characters lame?

What would your reaction be if Sakurai does the next Direct in a white void?
You think some people would still try to find things in the background.
Smile because I'd remember the scene in Super Paper Mario where the characters literally are just in a featureless white void.

Zelda HAS been an RPG. The Legend of Zelda II. Don’t let anyone tell you it didn’t happen.
That doesn't make every game in the series an RPG though. BoTW even trashed the naming aspect gimmick to just make him Link which kinda blows ngl

Inkling is lame

There are some opinions that are opinions. And some that are objectively wrong.
The hate mainly comes from the fact that I don't really understand them, in terms of language and popularity. It also explains why I cringe at their music (language). Not sure how to get past that, but since I always a least try a character to see how they play, I won't ignore them there.

Ah yes, Corncob because of how incredibly plain he is.
I have not and will not.

But I appreciate your love for them, it's respectable.
For some reason I always get attached to the underdog characters. Or underdogs in general.

I very much appreciate your compliment, as well. You're really nice! :)

What is an RPG?

I don't even know anymore, I thought I did.
In my mind, it's always been stuff that takes the main aspects of tabletop games like D&D or Shadowrun into their games, such as levelling systems, character customization, stats, etc; but the definition for video games has become so wide I don't know how people consider half of the genre an RPG.

Zelda definitely shouldn't be considered one by any stretch of the definition, though.

I would unironically enjoy Sweetie Belle, or any My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic representation really.
I'd throw my Switch out the window if she were revealed during the Direct
Sweetie Belle Joins the crusade!
You can't leave out best pony like that.
But best pony Starlight will get in as an A.T.

Knock it off with the potshots towards other users. Argue their points, not their person.

And for the record, any warnings I recently gave were without even reading the latest reports specifically. I stepped in after seeing the posts myself.

Nobody appreciates having their person attacked. No matter how bad an argument may be, one still must follow the rules and respect the user. You are free to call out the argument, without flaming the user in question.

Besides that, let's just drop this "Skull Kid is iconic" conversation as nobody is willing to argue without taking it too far.

Read that as PETEY disorder ngl
Petey Piranha for Ultimate
Hmmm, I didn't think of that. Good one!

However, it's really Post Traumatic Third Eye Disorder. Seriously, I had a nervous breakdown when I first saw that when I was younger, and I would freak if that came back in Ultimate.

According to this gamefaqs thread, this is loz18 in his private discord thread:

Remember, take what he says with a grain of salt...
Oh hey finally something to talk about again. If true, rip the Isaac gang.

When is he 'ever' mature?

The last time I saw him was he was throwing an almighty tantrum because people were calling out Garditelle as being bogus, and his argument was nothing more than a "Nuh-UH, you're DUMB for not believing this!!!!!" more or less.


Maybe it's because I was raised in a hard home, but bad kids get the paddle, and this guy acts like a spoiled brat who's had everything handed to him his whole life, so when he runs into the slightest amount of opposition or even disagreement for that case, it turns into "NEENER NEENER NEENER, CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
I’m not in any way trying to demean you. I hope I’m not overstepping, in fact. I just don’t see him responding better to insult if he already didn’t respond well to a disagreement.

It’s less about the arguing and more that it’s an argument in an inappropriate setting like a forum where the rest of us have to see it. I’m not asking you to change your mind or the way you feel, just asking with respect that you consider the audience, even if he won’t.

The paddle was my teacher, too, by the way. I get it.

Good to know! :ultsimon:>:ultrichter:, male :ultrobin> female :ultrobin, male :ultpokemontrainer:> female :ultpokemontrainer:, and :ultinkling: is lame. I had to get those off my chest.
I agree with the majority of this.
IS even made M!Robin the default as more people gravitated towards him, because a lot of people from what I know don't dig the female version as much. This is just like how F!Corrin is the default now for the same reason.
Also, as adorable as Green is and how great it is that she's finally here, you literally have Red right there.
I can't really talk about the inklings outside of me digging their mechanics in Smash, given I never played Splatoon.
at the very least Richter has blue holy water flames, and that does a bit more for me from an effects standpoint for some reason.

I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach when I saw people rating Isaac 70% or higher in the RTC thread (some as high as freaking 90).

I still think he has a pretty good chance but he's definitely not a sure thing and was never as likely as K. Rool was.

Going back to this because I believe that this is one of, if not the most important things Sakurai has said indicating the possibility of third-party characters in Smash Bros.

The question is, what are the "major globally-recognized franchises" that are left? If I had to speculate, here's some I'd say:
  • Kingdom Hearts
  • Persona
  • Cave Story (most likely indie choice imo)
  • Monster Hunter
  • Devil May Cry
  • Tales of
  • Tekken (previously considered)
  • Minecraft
  • DOOM (significant to gaming history)
  • Crash Bandicoot (if it's popular in Japan)
I'm likely missing a few here
How about Okam- *shot, dragged away*
Why does no one ever talk about tetra when it comes to Zelda representation? It pretty much seems to be a rotating door of Skull Kid, Impa and occasionally Tingle. Tetra deserves better imo.
I'm down with this next to unique Impa I definitely want Tetra in Smash, she does deserve better.

General Scales with the Redeye King (Riding him) would actually be a pretty wicked boss tbh.
It's a shame that General Scales is a mostly forgettable villain though. When you finally do get to face him, all that he does is wait for you to attack. And when you do attack, Andross quickly intervenes and orders Scales to give Fox the Krazoa Spirit.

If Isaac is at least an AT again I'm good. I just don't want nothing....

If true maybe he got passed up for another blond 1st party swordman. Gunswordsman. Half-monster laser gunswordsman.

While it's true iconic status doesn't always translate into popularity, in the case of Skull Kid it does. People were really upset when he was skipped over in Hyrule Warriors (it still baffles me how the Majora's Mask pack didn't have the guy who wears Majora's Mask), and rejoiced when they finally added him in Legends.


And need I remind you all of the Terrible Fate video about him.
