Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[WertQuadNine]

I'd love a direct of course, but am I the only one who thinks we could just see Nintendo post an informational video to discuss everything online? No need for an entire direct.

 

[Chrono.]

I imagine any Direct will have a small overview on Torna from XC2 as it releases in like 2 weeks.

Something to keep in mind.

Ummm... what the hell did you guys do for the past few hours.

Memes, fake leaks, and the weekly Pokemon debate.

So business as usual.

 

[Deleted member]

Bring back Ninka_Vanroose they'll leak this game in 3 seconds.

Classic Mode has a new boss at 9.0 difficulty, Crazy Taboo Master Core which is super hars

 

[Luigi The President]

Have been able to post anything for 2 hours due to distress over Adventure Time

The French leak was disproved yes

 

[Starbound]

Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4 maybe?

I highly doubt those are coming out this year and I don't see them focusing on 2019 titles given that the Fall directs have, historically, just focused on the holiday lineup.

Plus Metroid seems like the big hitter next year and I can see them milking it at E3 2019. Bayo probably as well.

New sources say Tabuu will be playable for the first time in Smash Ultimate as well as the first Smash original fighter to join Smash.

It's hard for me to say tbh, SM still has incredibly fun movement technique, smooth *** controls and I'm much more of a fan of Samus and Ridley. Axiom Verge is great and it's also super fun on its own right but I think the character aspect and lore of Metroid wins me over to it. Not that I can't understand why you like AV more though.

Right, that's the one thing I will no doubt say it has over Axiom Verge. If Axiom Verge was a legit series, then it'd be a real good debate. (Granted, I still haven't beaten the game, so I can't say that for certain.)

I honestly have no idea what a direct would contain other than Smash.

- Pokemon games are, historically, shown off in their own thing so they wouldn't be in a direct
- Mario Party comes out next month so I guess that's an option but we kinda just know everything about it
- The rest of the confirmed Q4 lineup until December is Indies for the most part and we already had two Indie directs (though we still don't have Wargroove!)
- Last year, Capcom said Ace Attorney was coming to Switch in 2018. I'm assuming that got delayed but I guess that's an option.
- Starlink is an October title
- Dark Souls Remastered is next month
- Diablo 3 is about the only other thing I can think of

With this as the only sort of time competition, Smash sticks out a lot and I think Nintendo knows it. If we get like ~10 minutes of Switch Online, ~5 minutes of 'headlines' and then a Smash trailer, I think that's the best we can do. Especially if we get a date for the next Smash direct at the end.

I don't see them doing anything with 2019 releases until like February.

ANIMAL CROSSING

Nah, that honor is going to Sandbag

ANIMAL CROSSING

>Post mentions the direct will focus on 2018 releases

There's no way an unannounced Animal Crossing game is coming out this year

Animal Crossing was found dead in Miami, sorry for the bad news.

Fortnite is a pretty cool guy. eh kills avengers and doesn't afraid of anything.

 

[NintenZ]

I want Sable so badly and I want a For the Frog the Bell Tolls sequel/remake soon. He is my #1 most wanted newcomer now, but I do not think he is going to be the retro chosen for this game. I expect a notably ballot-popular retro like Lip getting in over him.

I doubt we’re getting a retro character this time in all honesty, could be wrong but I just don’t see it at all tbh.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This tweet is predicting the next Smash reveal, screenshot this.

If you think about it Simon Belmont is the retro character.

We went to France, questioned a few guys, and got even more confused.
I guess we should have learned the language before setting sail.

It might sound like BS, but be my guest, travel back in time and see for yourself.

 

[MamaLuigi123456]

So what's the general consensus on Bandanna Waddle Dee? I've been hearing a lot of arguments for him and against him lately, and as someone who would like his inclusion, I'm not sure what to think of it.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Sakurai writes it where it is only him and Palutena and together forever in the end

With Pit, Kirby, Meta Knight, Viridi, and Dark Pit as their children/servants

Why did they kill the person Sakurai voiced then?

Sakurai had to make room for Palutena (she more thicc than DeDeDe and hides it well)

 

[Crap-Zapper]

If you think about it Simon Belmont is the retro character.

So is K. Rool.
Well, he is a Retro character, but not a Retro used character. If you know what I mean.
He is legit a retro tho.

 

[Roberk]

Oh ****, hol' up gang

Nintendo has to have some real juicy online info for us.

Monolith Soft has said that they want to port XCX to the Switch and it's one of the last big Wii U games that would make sense as a port.

XCX had online multiplayer functions.

XCX port announced with Switch online multiplayer functions, Elma tie-in reveal for Smash.

You heard it here first.

 

[SuperSceptile15]

I'm predicting that the next newcomer reveal will either be Bandana Dee or a new Pokemon.

 

[Troykv]

Oh? There are rumors about Nintendo Direct?

C'mon! Every time someone makes this joke, they forget we have an actual Retro character in the roster now.

 

[WallyPalmer]

He's not Isaac, Geno, Skull Kid, or a Pokemon, so obviously he's fallen off the face of the planet.
I think he's still an extremely likely cantidate, and a lot of the fake leakers seem to think so too. Certainly not a reveal that would be as hype as others, but there's a lot of fan call for him. I think with the reveal that Kawasaki is the Kirby AT this time around, as well as the reveal of 8 new Kirby songs, things might be looking really good for our Bandana'd Boy in Blue.

 

[praline]

Honestly if Elma, Gardevoir and Geno were the last 3 characters added I’d be cool with that.

 

[Chrono.]

No it's Dark Samus they were made by Retro St--

C'mon! Every time someone makes this joke, they forget we have an actual Retro character in the roster now.

Oh damn you.

These tie-in reveal predictions never go well.

Seems that way, but the thread has been so chaotic and fast moving I'm not entirely sure.

 

[Crap-Zapper]

I know, right? People were so stupid when they said this game would not have a Retro character.

I personally think he's a lock. I know everybody and their mother says to not call any character a lock because it's just setting yourself up for disappointment, but I honestly do.

That would almost be like the Shulk reveal.

> Xenoblade 1 gets ported to New 3DS
> Shulk is revealed

> Xenoblade X gets ported to Switch
> Elma is revealed

 

[praline]

No it's Dark Samus they were made by Retro St--

Oh damn you.

I didn’t make that joke cause it’s the low hanging fruit.

 

[Noipoi]

I don't think he's a lock, but he's got a pretty good shot. He isn't number one but always he does pretty good in polls, and he probably did well in the ballot.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

C'mon! Every time someone makes this joke, they forget we have an actual Retro character in the roster now.

Wrong Retro...but also the right Retro

 

[Enchess]

That'd be sweet. XBX deserves some love.

If Skull Kid is a playable character I will change my avatar to him for a year.
Luckily it's not happening so nothing to worry about

 

[KMDP]

Something I was thinking about.

In the 8/8 Direct, after Sakurai showcased Chrom and Dark Samus, he said, quote: "We have a few more characters to show you before release".

Now, "a few" generally means "three (or more)", at least where I come from. (You'd be surprised how many people don't actually know that)

That's not even getting into him deliberately downplaying the number, of course.

But I would say, with some amount of certainty, that we have more than two characters coming. Of course, we all knew that already, right? ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

You might just have met with a terrible fate ...
