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.

Talking about Japan, we got a category 5 typhoon heading right towards Osaka and will cover most of the middle to upper part of Japan. Gonna be a bumpy day for me >_<

Fortnite is just Minecraft
And I don't mean it in the "oh they have similar concepts"
No, I mean that they're insanely popular games that adults on the internet like to **** on because they don't like seeing kids having fun.

Sony owns exactly 0% of Fortnite
I would be more up for minecraft content, a stage would be nice, I hate the style of fortnite, it would look so weird in smash to me

Seems like you don't have any more questions so I'm going to bed, it's nearly 2 AM in France :)

Good luck, you can still message me on jeuxvideo.com !

"Thx. Last question, is there a way to edit posts on jeuxvideos.com weeks after the original post was made? "

No, you can edit your post up to five minutes after it was posted and that's it.
Well this just about settles it then. They CANT doctor the post via editing on Jeuxvideo.

They don't **** on it.
They make a lifestyle out of it to make money.

But what does that have to do with Smash?
Fornite has nothing to do with Smash anyway, I haven't brought the game up first.

Damn, how near are the Nintend offices?

So Isaac would probably be the next character announced following the pattern, Black Shadow would likely be our next Echo too.

Thx again, merci, it was very helpful. I guess we'll have to wait for an admin to confirm.

Not a fan of of it but perhaps a stage might be interesting. It’s immensly popular in Japan, especially for the late elementary to junior high group. Probably high school as well.
Damn, didn't know it was popular in Japan as well. DLC at best, I don't see it making into the base game with the project plan and all. I guess it would be interesting if done right, character or stage. It would definitely expand the Smash fanbase for better or for worse.

Okay, so I just skimmed through this after my lunch. First off, if Black Shadow gets in and it means more F-Zero music, I'm all in. Second off, I'm quite sus about this one. Wouldn't it be weird that a gen 7 Pokemon, or hell, even Elma, didn't make it in the roster? I'm quite sus about this "French leak".

Looks like I’ll be on the outer edges but we got a huge blob of red and purple heading up by noontime. The school is practicing for evecauaion drills now just in case. And I just realized I forgot to tie down my weed whacker and watering can. Crap...

Let's debate the validity of Loz and Verge.

Round 50

FIGHT!
It's been said Verge has done some shady stuff, got non-Smash related stuff wrong, or taken Smash leaks from others--other than that, Verge has been 100% correct on Smash so far. Not trust worthy, but accurate, and doesn't show any clear signs of bias. I give him some credibility.

Loz got E3 completely right, bullet point by bullet point. But with the August Direct, was mainly vague, obvious, or completely wrong (man, that was awesome how they showed off how to unlock characters!). When it comes to being trustworthy, Loz posted Verge's PM without their approval, and went into hiding on Discord where regardless of what people say they said, there's no way of personally verifying anything they say on it. In terms of bias, after "leaking" Skull Kid, they posted non-stop about Skull Kid and is named "Legend of Zelda 13". Biased as ****. Zero credibility at this point.

To me it's no contest, but to each their own.

Okay.

Which characters do you guys feel will play the same as their previous iteration? We can usually derive this from: A) the sum of various trailers which reveal enough of a character's moveset/properties to conclude that, or B) the character was playable in the demo and their properties were determined that way?

By process of elimination we can determine what characters we can expect more of the same from, characters with some new properties, and characters who are still a big question mark.

My biggest interest is the latter, since speculation on their changes can promote a healthy discussion.
From what I have seen, no character will play the same. The changes to the game engine alone will ensure this is true to an extent across all characters.
Shield and dodge mechanics
Less landing lag and jump squat frames
A percentage increase in 1v1 damage will benefit powerful attacks slightly more than others.
Shields are impassable.

Zelda has been changed in many ways, even has a kill throw.
Ganondorf...yep
Fox has a lot of changes and people aren’t sure how to feel. Most seem to hate it.
Mario cannot up tilt people 7 times in a row(not 100% on this)
Ridley is wayyy better than last game.
Olimar now grabs with all available Pikmin and we have no details at all on how that changes their properties during grabs and throws.
Roy can now switch direction with his Flare Blade at any point(or points) in the charge.
Pikachu has a new nair, down air spikes, folks say he is beast.
Pichu f-tilt confirmed to trip opponents in the direct and his/her intro vid.
Wolf was stated to have been overhauled and we can see in his intro video that his nair is like Fox now, instead of his aerial somersault.

I don’t see anyone playing quite the same. Maybe similar, but never the same.

Bit of an aside from the absolutely invigorating leak talk going on (hon hon, oui oui) but I made a Spotify playlist celebrating my most wanted goodboy.
It's certainly not the best thing ever, but I might take requests of playlists for other people's current mains/most wanted newcomers. If anyone is interested feel free to let me know and I might try it if it seems doable to me. Might make a thread for this too.

I hate Fortnite cuz I tried it and found it boring and derivative. I view it's popularity as the result of being streaming friendly, free, and well-marketed.

I don't really give a **** that kids have fun playing it.I I've had fun playing all sorts of free games, I get it. I'm just tired of every non-gamer I ever talk to try to talk to me about it to "relate" to me because it's the only game they've heard of. I think for a lot of people who groan at Fortnite it's similar. Like how theater people will start getting annoyed if the only thing anyone tries to talk about with them is Mamma Mia.

Dry Bowser makes more sense as a echo, because he spits blue fire and would have certain statistics that differ from the og Bowser, I actually could see Dry Bowser mimicing Giga Bowser from Melee with his moveset and having somewhat less strengh, but more speed than og Bowser.

Final Smash would be he turns into Giga Dry Bowser! Hopefully something better than a big lame punch like og Bowser does.
Well another reason is that he honestly would feel like a slot waste. So I think costume is better honestly.

Also not like there can't be changes keeping the same fire breath. After all Dry Bowser is the same character as Bowser but without his flesh. That's why he works better as a costume.

Fortnight is not that bad of a game. Its push for microtransactions is annoying, but overall it is fine.

Here's a challenge for you if you're up for it: make a playlist for one of my most wanted, PSY, without using any K-Pop (especially PSY) or meme songs.

What timeline is this!?
Ridley, K. Rool, and all the veterans return!
Isaac, Geno and Banjo & Kazooie are likely.

This is not just the ultimate timeline, but this is, indeed, the ultimate game.
Honestly, those three and Skull Kid are locks for me personally. Along with a new Pokemon, I think that's the rest of unique newcomers
