Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

[Noipoi]

Is it wrong that I just want the complete roster to use as a desktop background?

.......god, I remember sneaking into my high-school's computer lab and printing out Brawl's Roster in like, 480p on printer paper and hanging that **** up in my room for a good few months until the ink began to run.



Doesn't feel like it's been that long.

If Nintendo doesn't make a poster of the Ultimate banner once it's complete I will be severely disappointed.

 

[Sharkarat]

Who's even close to the iconic status of Mickey?

Mario & pikachu are pretty high up, but Superman is probably one of actual closer ones.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Oh god...What have I started.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

There's never anything to miss

Doesn’t seem to feel like it

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Ahhh.

When are we gonna get Harry Potter, guys?

Warner Bros. hasn't said anything about him, that means he's in!

 

[MSmariosonic]

Yeah but for real.

I think Superman is the only one comparable to Mickey's status in pop culture.

Even humans who live isolated from the rest of mankind know these ****ing guys.

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

I mean, I figured, but is he actually that close?

I'd say yes. If I go to a place and they know mickey mouse I'd also assume they know Mario

 

[Will]

But you're acting like she got in for any reason OTHER then the fact that she became a Nintendo exclusive.

It's not my fault you can't remember the ballot.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

So if my character has an "M" in their name, they're destined to be iconic?

 

[Dukeofdeath5]

It's not my fault you can't remember the ballot.

And if she hadn't been exclusive, there's no way in hell she'd have been selected.

 

[DevaAshera]

Fun question? How would you guys react to King Mickey getting into Smash instead of Sora because Disney demanded it so sales could increase having one of the most iconic cartoon mascots starring in a game with one of the most iconic gaming mascots.

Also Geno being an Assist Trophy?

It'd be unexpected considering Disney didn't even want Mickey to be the main character like the dev team wanted (they wanted Donald) before Nomura designed Sora. They also restricted Mickey to only a small role in the first game.

I didn't know Mickey was royalty, huh

He is in Kingdom Hearts.

why tf would Disney get involved with Smash lmao

Kingdom Hearts is owned by them, so if Sakurai wanted Sora, who, imo, is an RPG icon second only to Cloud, in the game, he'd have to go through Disney (and Nomura, whom Disney defers to for KH stuff aside from Merch to make sure it's properly represented)

 

[UberMadman]

Don't worry, it'll be next week, along with the reveal of someone who people say is unlikely because reasons.

And if it's not that, it'll be someone that people claim was obvious all along.

Most likely, it will be both of these.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

So if my character has an "M" in their name, they're destined to be iconic?

Yes
SuperMan
Mario
BatMan
Mickey Mouse

 

[MojoRobo]

Would you marry Olimar? I would marry Olimar.

 

[Shroob]

If Nintendo doesn't make a poster of the Ultimate banner once it's complete I will be severely disappointed.

And then DLC characters come out.

 

[T-Hell]

Yes
SuperMan
Mario
BatMan
Mickey Mouse

Sucks for Shantae I guess It's just a prank, bro.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Would you marry Olimar? I would marry Olimar.

He seems like a nice guy.

I'd be worried anytime he tries to fly a ship though

 

[staindgrey]

Who's even close to the iconic status of Mickey?

Bugs Bunny.
Mario.
Superman.
James Bond or Sherlock Holmes.

That's all I can come up with.

 

[Momotsuki]

So on the subject of the Smash Ultimate demo apparently now being in the hands of... well, somebody who isn't supposed to have it, I think it's very interesting. We'll have to see how this goes. While faking it would be possible, given the provided proof I think it'd be very elaborate if it is. But I won't rule it being fake out just yet, since it's always best to keep your guard up.

 

[Will]

And if she hadn't been exclusive, there's no way in hell she'd have been selected.

You smell that? It's a baseless claim.

 

[Moon Monkey]

I want John Wick.

 

[Blade of Evil's Bane]

I didn't know Mickey was royalty, huh

I guess i'll just drop this here... too obscure of a reference to derserve anymore explanation

It was one of my favorite movie when i was like 5 years old...

 

[IGuessItsOver]

Sucks for Shantae I guess It's just a prank, bro.

I guess so but she still deserves to be in Smash because she's cute and i want to marry her

Huh? What are you talking about?

 

[Sharkarat]

Iconic Tier list would be something like this I feel.
SS tier: Mickey
S tier: Superman
A tier: Mario, Pikachu, Batman, Spiderman, James Bond, Sherlock Holmes.
A-: Bugs Bunny

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

What about Scooby-Doo?

Any franchise with so much media that it has is surely at least up there

 

[Luigi The President]

I'll never quite understand why Bayo was in if she wasn't the Ballot pick...
Advertising? I dunno.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Topic: Should Dragon Quest XI be a huge success in the West (The game came out today), in the scenario a Dragon Quest character gets chosen for Smash for DLC content, which protagonist do you think will get in? Erdrick or the Hero of DQ11. Sakurai seems to put protagonist that are more well known in the West like Cloud and Lloyd (As a Mii costume), so the DQ11 hero might take priority, but DQ3's importance in gaming history might make Sakurai choose Erdrick over DQ11. What do you guys think?

 

[Will]

Hannah Barbera didn't have anything else to pump out since it was such a big hitter.

How are we all forgetting Spongebob?

 

[Fenriraga]

I want John Wick.

Lemme go tell Sakurai to shoot his dog.

This is why I fear the day the ballot results are released (which wont come). It'll show all the stupid **** that actually won it and Sakurai obviously ignored.

The day a smaller third party character that didn't get their series saved/produced by Nintendo and have their sequels be exclusive to Nintendo consoles gets into smash, ON THAT DAY, I will take the claim that third parties don't need to be iconic seriously.

They need a specific kind of exception to make it. Like that of Geno, whose basically just a Nintendo character. Or Ritcher who came packaged with Simon.

 

[staindgrey]

SS tier: Mickey
S tier: Superman

I would definitely put Bugs Bunny in the S-tier. We're kind of underestimating the value of Loony Toons if we're putting him under Pikachu.

He's the Pepsi to Mickey's Coke.

 

[Booper Blooper]

If Nintendo doesn't make a poster of the Ultimate banner once it's complete I will be severely disappointed.

They'd be silly not to.

Because SOMEONE is going to mass print the full "everyone is here" image and make a ton of money off of it, and if Nintendo doesn't they're just leaving that money on the table for someone else.

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

Would you marry Olimar? I would marry Olimar.

He has a wife and children, I'm not no home wrecker

 

[Momotsuki]

Huh? What are you talking about?

Here you go: https://twitter.com/alpharadtv/status/1034607649587912709 It's somewhat old news, but I just found out about and didn't see all that much discussion here.

 

[IGuessItsOver]

What about Scooby-Doo?

Any franchise with so much media that it has is surely at least up there

Also SpongeBob and Homer Simpson

 

[staindgrey]

When I'm thinking "iconic", I'm thinking globally. And I feel like Scooby-Doo is much more restricted to the Americas than the others I've mentioned.

So you admit Bayonetta is the answer because you can't disprove it and can only back on personal theories instead of factual evidence?

Erdrick or Eight are the best choices for a DQ rep.

If your factual evidence is Bayonetta then its akin to that of a personal theory :v
