Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Zinith]

I joined, like a month after you did and I have ~1000 fewer posts.

I wonder who's posted more since I joined, you or me?

Well, Mid-June was about the time I started posting in the NintenZone thread, so...

Brawl Ganondorf was the coolest. Sometimes I return to Brawl just to see his bad*** beard.

Past Smash design skins in general perhaps?

EVERYONE IS HERE!

EVERY SINGLE VERSION OF EVERYONE IS HERE!!!

 

[Zathura]

Yeah his design definitely feels to me like it fits his current moveset more than the OoT version, I wish I could get him back...

I know of someone that’s totally heartbroken because of TP Zelda being retired, I say let us use our amiibos to unlock the Smash 4 versions

...suddenly I like this idea even more now

The problem is Smash For models aren't in the game. They don't fit in new art direction, either.

Giving every character their previous models is too much work and a memory hog. At this point, it's like melee mode' argument. Let's enjoy the Ultimate and return to previous games for what they have.

Question: When did the 'new' signs disappear from the how to smash, stage, and items sections?

 

[Curious Villager]

Whenever I hear the 'got my fave but not the right design' I think the Zelda cast are being discussed since they're the ones with vastly different looks.

Not for me, they picked the right design for all of them. Especially Zelda!
They picked my most favourite design from ALttP/ALbW and look! She finally looks like she actually wants to be here!

 

[MSmariosonic]

Surely there were people who missed the Melee designs of some characters in Brawl.

Just move on.

If they were going to add in old models why even bother making new ones?

 

[MasterOfKnees]

As far as designs are concerned I'm just incredibly happy we didn't get Other M Ridley. I wouldn't have thrown a fit or anything if we did get that design, I spent practically every day of Smash 4 speculation supporting him despite knowing if he got in it'd be his Other M design, so I'd still have loved him, but the Ridley we did get is just perfection.

I don't really mind the other design changes tbh, I actually vastly prefer them for everyone except Link (who has an oldschool costume anyways). I'm particularly happy the TP designs are gone, they were never designed to be colorful or expressive, so they just looked incredibly awkward in Smash 4.

Now we only need happy Links. They all look so angry.

Brawl Ike is back at least.

That post I just made was my 3,500th.

Here's to the next 3,500

Well, Mid-June was about the time I started posting in the NintenZone thread, so...

I really should frequent the Nintenzone thread more, but trying to keep up with this thread and the Isaac thread is hard enough as it is (especially since the 8/8 direct and the massive influx of Isaac supporters).

Seriously, Isaac had ~374 supporters before the 8/8 Direct, and now we just hit 500 last night.

To give you an idea of how fast this is, it took 10 years to gain those 374 Supporters.

 

[Zinith]

Oh boy, you walked right into that one...

 

[Curious Villager]

Yeah I guess Twilight Zelda's moody look has rubbed off on them. Especially Toon Link, he went from cheerful in Brawl to angry in Ultimate. Poor thing...

Just a few days ago iirc.

Oh, I’m sorry, I thought this was meant to be the “Ultimate” Super Smash Bros.

Hmm...there is currently a bug where certain images will not load like for me for that above, but when you quote the image it works fine.

Because choices make everyone happy

This is what happens when a game developer spoils his fans a little too much

I think it was meant to be Special Super Smash Bros.

Yeah, I'm happy with Ridley's design since they managed to fix stuff like the weird neck.
But i'm really not a fan of Tunic of the Wild.

What if it had been NES Ridley?

How would that have ranked in the scale of good ideas?

 

[Danpal65]

Oh, I’m sorry, I thought this was meant to be the “Ultimate” Super Smash Bros.

So I suppose we need every menu style, trophy, sticker and Classic Mode layout from the other games for it to be "Ultimate?" How much more stuff do you expect the poor guy to pour into this amazing game?

 

[Zinith]

That's Smashboards for you. There's not much you can do with broken images unless you take the pic to an image hosting site...

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Oh, I’m sorry, I thought this was meant to be the “Ultimate” Super Smash Bros.

This is never going to be a good argument for anything with this game, it could be applied to practically every single suggestion people have for it. I've seen it get thrown around a lot (mostly in regards to story mode) and it just comes off as being unappreciative of just how much content this game already packs.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Oh, I’m sorry, I thought this was meant to be the “Ultimate” Super Smash Bros.

Yes that's because every single item, and every single stage ever is back, right?

Don't grasp too much on the "ultimate" part of the game's title.

It's absurd how much content this game has but don't take it too far, man.

 

[Zathura]

I genuinely do want stickers to come back, I love collecting things in games, it's my favourite thing, so something other than trophies would be nice

This is the Ridley we all wanted in our heart of hearts (how awesome is it that we can actually joke about this now?!)

 

[Michele]

Oh no...I don't want to believe it, but it looks like someone we know already might have just hacked Loz....I searched, but found no info of this elsewhere...

I absolutely love NES Ridley, his sprite is like the goofiest thing. It most certainly wouldn't have been my preferred design, but I'd love him regardless .

Well now that i've seen that monstrosity I want it to be an alt for him

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

English version is Ultimate. Japanese version is Special. Both have very different connotations in regards to Smash. To me, Ultimate means Smash at its pinnacle. However, Special sounds to me something that has been improved to make it extraordinary and “one of a kind”.

All I want is to not hate the appearance/design of my favourite character. Excuse me for trying to offer constructive solutions and reach a compromise

Not hacked lol....Loz made all that info public on that discord, people just screenshotted it and made a big deal about it outside of said discord.

If he gets in trouble, it's his own fault at this point. And yes, this is coming from someone who believes him with reserved skepticism

 

[Kotor]

'pandy' is not about 'panda', it comes from 'pandilla' (crew, informal group of people in spanish).

Uh going by the twitter user's profile pic, Pandy is about Pandoria, a blade from Xenoblade 2 . She's called Pandy by her driver, Zeke von Genbu, Bringer of Chaos.

I misread it lol...Doxxed, thats what I meant. It's similar to hacking, but it's more like he got hold of account for a minute or so and then tried posting something.

Whenever I hear the 'got my fave but not the right design' I think the Zelda cast are being discussed since they're the ones with vastly different looks.

Twilight Princess was my absolute favorite design for everyone. BotW Link is okay (aside from the fact that he uses the wrong hand... Why can't you let us keep our one left-handed hero?), but I much preferred the TP designs for Zelda and the Dorf. I like the colder queen version of Zelda, and even her BotW incarnation was a bit too flighty (but that awesome royal gown - why didn't she get more chances to wear it?). And the Dorf needs a beard. But then again, the best he has is Hyrule Warriors and that luxurious mane.

I would 100% be okay with DLC costume packs for this reason.

And this thread moves entirely too fast now. I wanted to jump back and answer this one I missed overnight:

Despite my sig listing like 20 characters, I really only feel like 3 more are needed to make the roster feel "complete"

- Bandana Dee: Would complete the kirby representatives with one of the most iconic characters in the franchise
- Paper Mario: A popular Nintendo franchise with it's own identity that really deserves to be represented with a character
- Xenoblade rep: Elma or Rex/Pyra are fine, but Xenoblade is obviously an important IP to nintendo at this point, and def needs a 2nd character

What 3 characters would make the roster feel like this to others?

He’s not my #1, but Tails missing is a huge hole in the roster for me. Sonic’s a very important series in Nintendo history as a rival franchise - no other mascot had the visibility of the Sonic/Mario rivalry, so more reps from Sonic are not overkill. Tails has always been Sonic’s number 2, so putting in their answer to Luigi is a needed move now. Plus the fact that EGM made that hoax back in 2002, so there’s a lot of history behind it, which would be really cool to see realized.

My #1 isn’t so much needed to make the roster feel complete, but instead to push it to new yet fitting places. Skyrim’s a huge game un terms of sales, made a perfect in Famitsu, and would represent the open-world Western RPGs that Bethesda is known for. There are numerous JRPGs represented so far, but the only Western one is...BotW Link? Sort of? Not to mention that the US gaming market is huge, and no discussion of gaming history can be had without considering American games as well.

My third roster addition would just be a representative from Zelda since the series is not at all well represented in terms of characters. Zelda right now is the anti Fire Emblem: too many clones, but nowhere near enough characters based on the series importance. I’d prefer Urbosa or Midna, but Skull Kid would be cool as well. Just gove us something unique.

So I’d add:
- Tails
- Dovahkiin
- Someone from Zelda (Urbosa/Midna/Skull Kid)

Mind tricks don’t work on him, only money.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Is Gardevoir gonna be character #69?

Personally, I would more think #68, considering that its base HP value is 68.

Mostly known as Zeke, and also often adressed as, the Zekenataaaaah.
