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.

Sooo

Are we still expecting a direct mid september?

Because i'ma thirsty
There'll probably be one fairly soon whether or not any "leaks" about when they are are correct or not. Most likely will be one before the end of September I think.

I go to sleep and then wake up and so many leaks pops up, even most of them are already debunked. Time really flies

Just to clarify something about "the french leak" there was a thread with a title as "give us names" of whom were behind this "fake leak". There were mixed feeling in it with some thinking it was fake and other it was real, but the pretty suspicious fact in this thread it has been locked without any reason... Something is really fishy and it seems mods don't want this thing to be spread around the official forum of smash bros on jeuxvideo.com.

well if sakurai decided on the character before sun and moon came out then maybe he didn't know about Z move.
It was only a single year, considering the toys and everything, Z-Moves would have been thought of early on and Game Freak would go "Ah, eexcellent choice Mr. Sakurai, we were also giving it a special move which would be perfect for a Final Smash"

I guess, but I doubt it. I think Sakurai would've been privy to that feature so he could design the character and represent it and the game it came from properly.
That and the final smash feels completely uninspired. He buries them and multi hits them???

Ok...

Also what's this about Pocket Edition getting a console release? I don't see that anywhere...
(Edit: ok I found a PS4 leak thing so that's interesting I guess...)

Also one thing I did like about the Incinearoar leak...I had a thought. What if there are no more new stages. But "familiar" stages were used to show off characters, like the pirate ship and King K. Rool. The boxxing ring would be perfect for Inceniroar! No other Gen 7 pokemon have one that fits as well, except like Tortimer Island to represent Alola.
Doesn't mean anything for this leak really though as putting Inceniroar in the boxxing ring just makes sense.

I gotta say, every time I watch Smash Ultimate videos, I appreciate the developers more and more. There's just so much stuff packed into that tiny, bitter tasting cartridge. It's amazing.

He did know about MegaEvolution before X and Y came out, and the gap between Smash For's project plan and X and Y is bigger than Ultimate's and Sun and Moon.

By the way, why isn’t there a Leaf stock icon emoji yet?
None of the characters that change gender have their alternate stock icons for some reason, it's just the defaults. I guess they're not especially necessary but still

This was at Gamescom

If Skull Kid is not playable, would all the Majora's Mask things that have appeared recently just been coincidence?
Majora's Mask is an iconic gaming icon. I wouldn't say it is indicative of Skull Kid being playable unfortunately.

I think the biggest impact of Skull Kid's inclusion would simply be the timing of operation Moonfall and the 3DS remake the same year Ultimate was being planned.

Unfortunately Skull Kid was confirmed to be a Assist Trophy's in late 2013, so with him being deconfirmed I believe it may have negatively impacted the ballot for him.

Of course, with the fan film Terrible Fate being released in 2016, and the huge fan following it had access the internet that may have helped his case too. Sakurai knows Skull Kid is a fan favorite, so I hope he gets in

Oh cool, didn't know about that.

Unrelated, but is that a bonk icon in your signature? That was one of the first NES games I ever played and I never see anyone mention it
Why yes it is, didn't expect someone else to know of that port. :grin:

Yeah, the life cycle barely started and they're already pushing the console to its very limit. Bless the Smash team.

Because the stock icons are ripped from the site, and the different gender icons aren't on it. I'm sure we'll get them once the game comes out and we can rip them from there.

Like I said in her actual thread, I’d love to see her so I could make adorable Leaf/Shantae team-up scenarios but it’s never gonna happen :(
Never say never, you won't know what might happen.

Besides, people can be allowed to dream. I know darn well that Earthworm Jim ain't getting in any time soon, but having a custom-made icon of him is still pretty cool, simply because this game's stock icon style is just that great, unique and appealing.

Then how come I’m seeing icons for characters like Shauntae that aren’t getting in in a hundred years? :p
Because apparently what we have in the game already isn't interesting, it's what we don't have, as demonstrated by people losing their patience a week after the last Direct.
